Worth it? Healthy Deep fried food via T-Fal Actifry Low Fat Multi-Cooker and Healthy Fryer

I don't necessarily have cravings for fried food (though I'm not going to say I haven't been tempted by fried food stalls here or haven't tried spicy chicken sandwiches at international fast food joints).  I definitely enjoy great onion rings, corn nuggets, and jalapeno poppers.  I got really excited when I saw corn nuggets for sale in Singapore.  But we're trying to lead a healthier lifestyle (more vegetables, less meat, less fried stuff).

The answer to a fried food lover's prayers seemed to be in this little machine - the T-Fal Actifry Low Fat Multi-cooker and Healthy Fryer or just the Healthy Fryer to me.  I'm not trying to endorse the thing, but I'm very, very intrigued.   Seriously who wouldn't be after hearing that you can fry 2 pounds of french fries with 1 tablespoon of oil?!  The reviews seem mixed though.

If you've tried this, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Most importantly, is this worth it (it's $299.95)?

Description from Amazon:
The actifry features a unique patented technology that combines an exclusive heating system and stirring paddle, so that you can cook great tasting fresh homemade French fries with just 1 tablespoon of your favorite oil (making a French fry with only 3-percent fat content vs. 16-18-percent fat in a regular fry). It's also much more that, you can make a variety of dishes such as meats, poultry, risotto, seafood, granola, & desserts. Plus clean up is a breeze, actifry features a removable bowl, lid, filter and tablespoon- all of which are dishwasher safe (and most importantly- no oil to dispose of!).
