Syn free crisps?

I don't know if anyone had tried this device, but Lakeland have brought out a crisp maker. To use this you slice the potatoes through the lid to get super thin slices. Then place them in the rack and bang them in the microwave for a few minuets. They then come out just like crisps but with none of the oil or fat.

Does this mean these crisps are 'free' on Slimming World Green days?
I know that most people would argue that they are not free as when you change a free food from its natural form it then has a syn value, such as fresh fruit and dried fruit.
Surely though, these crisps have to be far better for you than a packet of walkers.
I have tried this myself as it is unavailable at the moment. Ok that was weird, just as i was typing this there was a knock at the door and i was given a huge parcel form Lakeland for my mum, maybe she's bought me one for Christmas.. I can hope! Anyway Let me know if you have tried this device and what you think of it. Do you think these crisps should be classed as 'free' food?
