Hi guys Im looking for some help, Could some one tell me the different between and which would be better?

I'm looking for a healthy way to cook food and was looking for a good option, air fryers seam to be good but I cant tell the difference between the air fryer and Halogen air fryer, the halogen models have a lot more room and look like they can cook more but im not sure which to get, I had a old halogen oven 10+ years ago which i used for baked chicken which always came out good but i never tried anything else.

I like my fired food (chips, wedges, chicken, fish, spring rolls ext) So im looking into the air fryers to try and cut some fat intake.

the problem is I had the tefal actifry when it cam out and other then chip which i did not like everything kept breaking into bit and was a waste of money, so it only got a little use and went back to traditional.

Does anyone have any helpful information which could help me choose.
 
Not sure about the halogen ones, but I have this Phillips one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-HD...d=1521680415&sr=8-4&keywords=philips+airfryer

Igot it on a very good deal though for around £90. I was sceptical at first but it’s brilliant. When I do chips in it, I use a brush to wipe a little bit of oil over the chips before cooking. They come out lovely. So many things you can do in it as well. Chips, wedges, sausages, breaded or battered fish, breaded chicken. Basically, anything you can oven cook can be done in this. It can cook sausage and chips in around 10 mins, so it’s very fast as well. Definitely a worthwhile investment if you like that sort of grub. It has no moving parts either, so food doesn’t get broken up at all.

My one comes with a little metal shelf as well to separate foods, so stick your chips on the bottom and the your sausages or fish (whatever), on top.
How to do the chips compare to fried one ? most people seam to just use frozen but I would want it for home made chips.
Have you tried fresh chicken, meat or fish, pasterys like samosas or spring rolls ?
Can you make a pizza, roast chicken or is it too small,

Sorry about the questions but I dont want to jump in this time after spending £190 on the tefal.
