Does the Philips Air-fryer work as well as a standard deep-fryer? I've seen commercial ads about the Philips Air-fryer:



I'd like to hear answers from someone who actually tried it..


Does the outcome taste the same as if it was fried in a normal deep fryer?
Does the outcome have the same crispness? (or better or worse?)
Is it worth its price? (around $248)
I personally haven't used it. Lifehacker did a review on this when it came out though. Basically, it's more like a convection oven, as people  have mentioned. They bascially said if you don't own a convection oven and eat a lot of fries it's worth it, but it really is baking them, not frying.
