I go nuts when the missus cooks sausages in because all the crap builds in the bottom and she dont empty after. So when i use it few days later you can bet your life the smoke alarm goes nuts

May be you should add that you got it for £17 with Tesco club card boost to avoid people going on wild goose chase for it @ £17.

Used mine several times now and like it - they have their pro's and con's though.
Really only any use to single people for everyday use then you could just fit a meal in it, otherwise for a family you can cook chips/baked potato's, but have to let them go cold whilst you cook the chicken/sausages etc, as these fryers are very small.
To give you some idea of size - 6 chicken thighs stood up on end are ok - you won't fit a whole chicken in one though (unless very small)
Chips - 3 or 4 portions depending on how much you eat.
Cakes - 1 quite small cake, or 5 cupcakes
You get the picture.....
I love using it, but find we still have to use the oven anyway, and yes it is less fatty but that is the only real advantage, the cook times they state are very ambitious too - the jacket potato's I did x3 took 45 minutes before cooked right through rather than the 28mins they state, they must be quoted on very small spud's is all I can say.
Cheaper to run than an oven, but you will need to use the oven as well if cooking a meal for more than 1 person, either that or buy 2!

I picked mine up from Tesco yesterday, haven't tried it yet.
Aside from chips, do you mind if I ask what else you've had success cooking with it? And anything that doesn't work so good?

So it needs to be washed after every use unlike a traditional fryer. I'll remember that. Can you cook sausages and chips at the same time out of curiosity?
