This has been missing from my kitchen now here I cannot without it.
This is so easy to use and the next step from my microwave. I would suggest some disposable or reusable inserts for the fryer but after that, good bye oven and microwave, well microwave still good for hot drinks.
Love this airfrye
I use it mainly for frozen chips and fish fingers (I eat like a small child). Perfectly crispy every time and big enough for 2 people. Really easy to clean and no peeling of the coating thus far. Quick tip – wipe off excess or pooled oil from the drip tray before washing to save you a lot of hassle!
Cooks food really well
Food cooks really well and quickly. I did roast lamb in it and it was great. Sausages cook evenly and everything stays moist. It’s always best to check during the cooking time though.
Easy to use
This is my second one .The issues was my fault..You have to be very careful with the lead where it’s place..When in use or else the lead.. could get over heated..and cause the lead to be damaged..
It's the chef in your kitchen.
Marvellous, versatile, easy to use, easy to clean, cooks a meal for two in under 30 minutes and a meal for four a little longer. Fish, chips and mushy peas are quick and delicious. A good design for easy cleaning.
Very simple operation. Big enough for one generous serving, two at a push. Game changer for me on my own. Not using the gas grill any more and rarely use the oven. Everything cooks better and in way less time.
I can’t fault this air fryer. I’ve used it for a few months now. The only word of caution I would give is where you locate it. I have mine set up in what used to be my garage, there is a logic to that, but ignore that bit. The only thing I’ve noticed is I have surface mounted conduit running behind the air fryer. The heat from the fryer has distorted the plastic conduit. It’s not a problem as I’ve moved it away from the conduit. The moral is, don’t put it up against any plastics!
Our first air frier so we have no comparison but works well for us. I don’t think we had really appreciated that essentially it’s just a small fan oven (doh – yes I know) which as a consequence heats up much quicker saving time and cost. It’s up to temperature in a couple of minutes compared with our conventional oven at 15plus minutes and then seems to cook a lot quicker anyway. In retrospect should have bought a digital timer. Dial is a bit hit and miss which doesn’t matter since like all ovens you just look at the food and take it out when it’s done but digital timer would allow a better idea of how long things take for future reference. Other point is buy the biggest you can afford within reason even if there’s only one or two of you. For example this one might take a small chicken but not together with roasties etc so conventional oven still needed. A bigger one might take it all. Cleaning is simple, virtually no oil needed and you can line with foil etc if you need providing the air can still circulate. Big benefit is no roasting trays to chisel the grease off!
Well made machine
Good product, works well, still getting to know all the things you can cook. So far so good!!
Prese
Bought this for my son as an early Christmas present as he got scammed on a Black Friday website, took his money no goods received, air fryers are just the bestAmazon to the rescue.
Great little heater I use it for my shed
Great worth ever penny it puts out good heat in my man cave / home pub also can make decent toast just like the old days using a fork on you bread
Basically a very easy to use fryer no whistles or bells easy to use
For me i found it easy to use and clean, I use it a lot, saves putting on the oven then preheating etc gets to right temperature fast so not wasting energy
Great air frye
Simple but effective air fryer, easy to use and clean
Cooking made easy and quick Limited advice on how to cook but by keeping your eyes on the timing,no problem
Great air frye
I got this on offer. It’s very easy to clean , controls easy to understand. No frills but fine for what I want it for. Only two of us so plenty big enough. Doubt it would be big enough for a family.
Keep checking it till you get familiar with timing and temperature.
Have used it for numerous things eg. Chicken breasts ,chips ,burgers ,potato wedges etc and all turned out well . A bit of trial and error with timings. Just remember to turn thing half way through .
A great produc
Bought this to replace my previous air fryer. Very quick delivery. Delighted.
Quality of the Produc
That the food is cooked without having to regularly checking.
Air frye
Could come with a book on cooking in the frye
It’s fantastic
I like it and use it many times perfect working and easy to use.
Great value for money
Very simple to use and versatile. Money saving on energy costs too
Greeeaaa
Best buy so far .. great to use so easy!
Easy clean and so fast at cooking or heating. Save money on bills.
Love this otem
It’s so easy to use.
Love the way my food come ou
Brilliant Airfrye
Easy to use, easy to clean. Doesn’t smell when cooking. Highly recommend.
Love it!
It’s so versatile! It’s really opened us up to trying new things, as it’s so easy to use. Cooks chips just right, breaded fish delicious with no grease. We don’t use oil in it as most things don’t need it.
Using an air fryer rather than an oven has taken some getting used to, I’ve cooked pies savoury and sweet they were beautiful, in foil and glass dishes. Fish perfect nice and juicy. Baked potatoes a doddle. Cleans so easily..ok I love it. I’ve now ordered racks etc for it and I can’t wait to play. Goodbye ove
We chose this because it had simple controls ,easy to use and easy to clean. It is perfect for 2 people and it Cooks most things even pastry. We have used it for chicken ( great taste ) chips, sausage, burgers fish etc pretty much everything. All cooked perfectly and much cheaper and quicker than a conventional oven.
Brilliant air frye
I bought this as a replacement air fryer – not disappointed – the settings are easy and cooks really well
Great!
I’m new to air frying but found this easy to use, very easy to clean. Am still learning but don’t regret purchasing at all!
Was a bit wary as although I had read up on air fryers it was step into the unknown. However I can honestly say I have not used my oven since since I bought it. Brillia
I have used this product where I would normally fry, grill or bake. Much quicker, less oil used and food tasted great. Very impressed with ease of use and speed of cooking, which saves money.
Living alone it’s not economical to keep putting my oven on so this has been a god send even though I’ve had it just over a week.
I would recommend getting the silicone basket covers,makes it 100 times easier to clean and keep clea
Recommend
Best purchase yet! I would recommend buying an air fryer this one was not expensive. Cooks chips liked home fried, chicken sasuages bacon all with no added fat and tastes great.
This product is so easy to use! Just two settings, temperature and length of cooking time. Couldn’t be easier! Great crisp results and no need to turn on the oven any more. Just what is needed in this climate of rising energy prices.
I cooked a roast chicken diner last week and I only used my gas hob to part cook the potatoes, the rest I did in the slow cooker and air fryer. You will have the best roasties and chips ever, in half the time. Dont rely on it being healthy though – it makes the most awesome cheese toasties – we’ve never eaten so many! Defiantly recommend, it easy to use, easy to clean and the food is delicious.
First time purchaser of an air fryer, did not want to spend to much and this item was priced sensibly.
4.3 l basket to cook in , more than adequate for chicken breasts etc.
The fryer is not too bulky either as we use it in a static caravan.
Well worth the money
Have been using this for a few weeks and find it very useful. Cleans easily and have not had any problems in taking out the cooking tray’
Only disappointment was the accompanying cookbook – see my reviedw of this.
This airfryer has saved me so much money I’ve never used my oven since I bought it . Some great recipes online- trial and error but you soon get used to it .
The only thing I’d point out is that the timer isn’t very precise so I ask Alexa to set a timer. Love it !
After a week of use, I have to say that my wife and I are very surprised by how good this model is, and at less than half the price of Air Fryers at Curry’s. It is the ideal size for two people, for more than two you may need a larger capacity, but so far everything we have cooked, meat, veg, fruit and cakes has come out beautifully in no time at all, and the Smart Meter shows only pence of energy use. Some reviews say it is flimsy or noisy, ours definitely is not. Love it, and glad we decided to buy.
Disliked the absence of recipe book, would like more cooking information, it’s all trial and error, mostly error!
Well pleased with it seems to be great value for the money,easy to use and clea
Temp control can be awkward when hands are wet no biggy
Good
Only used a few times so cannot say too much other than things we have cooked have turned out OK.
It not very noisy and heats up very quickly and cooks nicely too, easy to clean and big enough for two people.
Although I still have to discus new uses, and how temperature works, this is real advance for us …
Brought as a gif
This was purchased as a gift, it was well received.
Timer not digital so have to keep an eye on cooking time but does everything a fan oven can for small items
This is my first air fryer and I’m very impressed with it. Still trying new things but it looks good and is very easy to use and clean. So quick to be sausages, chips and chicken!
Great buy
Great buy, easy to use and looks lovely and stylish in my kitchen!
Love i
I wanted to try one and this lived up to all expectations
This appliance is an absolute game changer and I havent been paid anything to say this. We are a family of 4 and bought this a few months ago after work colleagues raved about having an air fryer. I picked this one as it had good reviews and looked easy to use and bug enough.i wasn’t disappointed..itsnso East to use and even EASIER now I have just bought air fryer liners so u don’t even need to wash it after use!!!my teenager lads and husband also LOVE it..you literally throw food in it and check every five mins and shake if needed.. it cooks so quickly compared to the oven!! The best money you will ever spend trust me..u can do a whole roast dinner in it in 35 mins..thats a lamb steak..roast pots..mini sausage and Yorkshire.. you simply must get one you won’t look back I promise!
Works well good results for the price.
This item will cook basic item chips chicken the like but is not expensive.
Been great Soo far, much quicker than putting oven o
It’s easy to use.. easy to clean which is a bonus
The plastic dial has cracked inside and now just spins without moving the timer, which is very important seeing as this is how you start the fryer! With a little design change this issue could be eliminated easily. But now I have to find a replacement dial…
Suitable for 2 meals at the most at a time. Does a good job and so much easier to clean than the grill or oven. If you want to cook everything at once eg a joint and veg then, a larger fryer with compartments would be a better choice.
Easy to use, brilliant buy!!
Very easy to use, cook anything and so much cheaper to use than the oven!!
Great little frye
Cooks well and saves a lot of time and no preheat needed wish I had bought one soone
Bought to see if the air fryer hype was all it was cracked up to be.
The answer yes.
Cooks food super fast and give things like chips a great crunch on the outside but fluffy inside.
I’m honestly blown away by this, I’ve had it for a number of months now and it’s a game changer.
I can cook dinners in a matter of minutes, no warming up needed and nowhere near as energy and money costing as my oven, which I now hardly ever use!
Also amazing for crafts like fimo for setting the clay, and we use it for baking too as it’s so quick.
Bought as a present for a family member after a few hints. He absolutely loved it and we use it all the time now! Such a quick and easy way to cook things and makes things taste amazing. Would definitely recommend
Good wort i
Great product for money
Liked as soon as I saw it not too large
Easy to use for my elderly mum who loves cooking
Absolutely brilliant!!
Very surprised with this can’t believe it takes no oil fries are brilliant highly recommend very healthy
Frying in the air tonigh
Great addition to the Kitchen early days yet but really pleased with results so fa
Dry pleased
It takes a while to understand temperature and timings I have found . But happy with it nonetheless.
Tower Air Frye
Wish I’d bought this sooner , we use it more than our oven now. Great product !
Best so far, great price, easy to use, result is brill. The only minor problem was that when i received the item, inner basket has some scratches & a black smudge mark on top of comestic hence 4 stars. Couldn’t bother to exchange it considering time. And also whole fryer tend to get hot while in use
Would recommend
When I first used the air fryer I could taste the plastic on the food. I google how to get rid of the plastic taste with an easy homemade mixer and the air fry has been perfect ever since.
First time with this product not disappointed
Always been hesitant with air frying its good for some items with some original deep frying is better really good if you don’t want use too much fat and watching your calories
Easy to use
Great for lots of things.. chicken and fish cooks nicely. Great for bacon too,No fat spitting.
You cant beat chips in a proper chip pan thou, I originally brought it for chips as my daughter keep asking for them still pleased with it as you can do so many other things easier and healthier than frying them. Good produc
Highly Recommended
Theses are brilliant so easy to use easy to clean and the food is brilliant.
Definitely worth a purchase!
Love this thing!
Its simple to use easy to clean and speeds up the cooking time compared to the oven plus you can literally put all kinds in it!
Brillia
so quick to cook with less fat healthier easy clean great flavour best thing we bought use it more than conventional ove
Nice and Easy
First air fryer we’ve ever had, and wished we’d got one years ago. So easy to use and the food is really tasty.
Excellent bit of ki
Easy to use for an air fryer virgin, quick delivery. Only issue is that the bits that need washing can’t go in the dishwasher, meaning I need to get my hands wet once in a while!
Fantastic item
Fantastic item easy to use & clean. Went on YouTube to get some recipes designed for Tower. With electrics on the increase in costs this will save me s
The product appears well made .
It is also fairly straight forward to use. Plug and play nearly.
Popped frozen chips in and after 20mins and a shake mid way thru they came out well
I then threw some frozen burgers into a dish and put them into the over.. they came out well. the dish caught all the excess fat
I then put some shop boaght kebabs these did well in there
Again each took 20min
The top of the over has a quick overview on the timings for items
One thing to note.. it says the over should be placed on a heat resistent surface .. so for the moment i have placed it on a large plate. It did get hot underneat it.. so putting it on a side board it might cause damage. But overall pleased so far.
This is fantastic, I work long hours and wanted a way to cook fast meals. Not only is this fast but food quality is fantastic. I must admit I’ve only ever cooked chips in it, but they come out a solid 10/10 restaurant quality.
All I do is cut up a big fresh potato in to chunky size chips, then parboil the chips for 5 mins in a saucepan while the air frier preheats. I put the chips inside a paper air frier liner (sold separately and optional) to avoid making a mess in the air frier, set the timer for 20 minutes at 200 degrees. Turn the chips after 10 minutes and they come out absolutely fantastic. I don’t even use any oil!
My only criticism is even though this is a family size 4.3L model, I am a man with a big appetite who likes a big portion and it’s only really big enough for me, I do not agree that you can cook portions fit for multiple people in these! If I had got a smaller model it would’ve been a disaster as it just wouldn’t be big enough!
Smart and efficie
Works efficiently and without odours. Quick and easy to clean. Good value.
Loving this Air Fryer!
This air fryer is absolutely phenomenal! My boyfriend and I have used this to cook chicken, fish and chips and all of it has been super crispy and delicious with no oil or very little oil at all. It’s super easy to use and very easy to clean. I highly recommend it!
Love it!!
Works a dream. The comments regarding rust – I leave mine 5 minutes to cool, wipe around with a drop of washing up liquid on a sponge & dry immediately. If you take good care of it it won’t rust. I use mine for everything. With electricity bills sky high, this takes a LOT of time off oven use. Great for meat, potatoes, chips and part baked bread. Works like a dream. Can’t believe I didn’t invest sooner!
Good cooke
It is good to grill but needs to clean carefully.
Great product for a Great price
This air fryer is a great size for a family of three (three adult portions cook well). Although more could fit into the basket, I find it is usually easier to cook in smaller batches. The fryer is super easy to use and I now use this instead of my oven.
My only criticism is that it would be quite difficult to fit something into the basket to be able to bake cakes etc, due to the shape of it. I usually line with baking paper for greasy products, but it is very easy to clean. For the price, would definately recommend.
Good
The only bad thing I have to say is the white plastic bit has broken.
Great produc
Cooks food much crispier and faster and so much healthier as using no oil
Why didn't I get one soone
So used to a deep fat fryer I was a bit wary of ditching it for this but so glad I did. Main benefit is it’s much cleaner with no bottles of oil to change or carry from the shops and it’s lighter to move around. Varied foods can be cooked which taste of what they should and are much less in calories and anything you want to cook there are loads of tips on the Internet. Wish I’d got one soone
Cook everything at 180° for 20 minutes and you won't go far wrong 😉
The timer is vague when you get down to under 10 minutes. But I’m learning as I go – rule of thumb anything frozen takes 20 minutes at 180 and have a temperature probe for any fresh meat products – looks can be deceiving
Amazing!
This has to be one of the best additions to my kitchen. I should have bought one with a bigger basket as I sometimes have to cook in 2 batches but this makes things so much easier and a better way to reduce fat. Majority of things you would cook in an oven you can cook in here and you don’t lose any flavour. Groups online help with creating ideas of meals to be cooked in it.
Tremendous
Having finally gotten around to getting an air fryer I plumped for a reasonably priced one as I wasn’t sure how much use it would get. After having it for a few months I’d say it has largely replaced the traditional oven. It is a fryer in no way at all so calling these things air fryers is ridiculous but the results can’t be denied. It cooks chips, chicken, salmon, hash browns, potatoes, anything you would put it the oven really.
I don’t think I’ve got any complaints with it for the price. The only thing that annoys me is the plastic cover for the button to remove the basket always flings off when I try to slide it across but it is not needed so I just removed it. I think in a few more months I’ll probably get an even bigger one as this one is definitely not big enough for 4 people. It will provide you with two decent portions of chips but no more than that. If you’re a family of 3+ you need a bigger one than this.
Simple to use, not that simple to wash.
It came with a missing rubber feet, but it is an incredible air fryer, nice volume, with a nice variety of temperatures.
excellent looking air fryer.cant wait to cook.
excellent looking air fryer. arrived before delivery date..cant wait to cooking with it will write another review when Ive cooked .. but looks the part have now cooked with the air fryer and its excellent the only thing I would say. that it could have come with a small cooking book which would have been lovely to give you the basics of what you can and cannot cook.. you have a book of instructions and times how it works.. but a few more cooking instructions would have been a nice touch instead of you having to buy a cook book but the air fryer is excellent…. chips are to die for…
Failed after using it twice
I purchased this 2 years ago as a backup. Brought it into play a month ago. After using it twice I plugged it in on Holy Friday this year and it failed to come on. Waited to long before using it but did not expect this product to fail in such a short period of time.
Stay clear of this product. with a failure rate like this….the company should fold…clearly not a well designed nor engineered piece of kitchen equipment.
Really Useful Purchase
Thoroughly recommend the Tower Air Fryer. I haven’t put my oven on since I bought it! Easy to use and to clean and quite compact. Food comes out heated through and crispy, great for jacket potatoes if you cook them for a few minutes in the microwave then crisp up for 8 mins with a spray of veg oil. Wouldn’t recommend for larger families as the basket is small and you would have to batch cook. Been a revelation to me and saving money too.
Even tastier food!
Can’t overstate how much I love this addition to my kitchen. I bought it because my oven blew up and it would be a few weeks before I could get a new one. It has proved to be one of the best pieces of cooking equipment I’ve ever had. So easy to use. It cooks in much less time than in the traditional oven. A lot of things even taste much better and it produces the crispiest of results on items that should be crispy like chips and goujons and they come out much less greasy. Even though I now have a new oven I prefer to cook many more dishes in the airfryer. It is so easy to clean too. Had I realised just how good airfryers were, I’d have bought one long ago. There is so much more to it than just healthy chips. I have found loads of recipes for a wide range of meals that it copes with magnificently. The oven blowing up was a blessing in disguise and at twice the price it would have been well worth it.
Cost effective
Heathy way of cooking. Use my main cooker a lot less. To operate you set the temperature and the timer. With the latter you cannot reduce the time once set.
Good product with bad packaging
I love this product, but the only problem is it came in a packaging that looked like it was opened up before. The product did not look like it was used before, but who knows!
Good air fryer with one annoying issue
I upgraded from the 1.6l Tower air fryer that we used all the time. This one is fab apart from one problem – if you try to cook anything for less than 10 minutes, 80% of the time the power will cut out as the dial stops at around the 5-6 minute mark. Tower’s solution was to send it back to Amazon as faulty, but the replacement does exactly the same thing which suggests it’s a common issue. I couldn’t be bothered to return again so now I have to make sure I set the dial longer and set a manual timer to take the food out earlier.a
Brilliant cheaper than oven use
I think it’s Amazing frozen sausage rolls much faster cooking than using my oven. Dip chicken breasts in flour, egg,and breadcrumbs . Lovely and crispy . Freeze and reheat in minutes still crispy .Stir fried vegetables hardly any oil used perfect healthy too
Sadly (for my family), I’m an air fryer enthusiast. I own three, have purchased many for family and friends.
This was an inexpensive entry for a friend into a simpler world of cooking.
It’s a fan and a heating element, that’s about the size of what these devices are. What sets them apart from each other is the tray/drawer design and clean-up process.
As with all air fryers, this will cook all foods (except liquid-based like soups and stews). It roasts/bakes and makes short work of convenience food too.
You will need accessories like an (inexpensive) digital meat probe, tongues and maybe a rack, but all this does is push heat onto the thing your cooking, in a small space.
The Tower T17021 is about as quiet as nearly all my other devices, it’s not too big to be kept on a work surface and is easy to clean. The functions are easy to navigate and with some basic knowledge, you will be a master of your air fryer in no time.
Brilliant piece of ki
I was very sceptical, however we are very pleased with our air fry.
I still find it cooks chips very hard where I enjoy light fluffy chips, aside from that cooking chicken strips, fish etc it’s very good even pies and pasties come out crisp like everyone likes so items like these it’s top notch easy to use easy to clean and generally less mess as you’re using less items when cooking food and then the whole package stores away conveniently
Brilliant. Love it.
Love this airfryer. Can do all sorts in it. I haven’t got a microwave, so it’s been brillaint for melting butter etc when baking. I even made baked oats in it the other day. The only things I wished I’d have realised is that the basket is round not square. Which I think if was the square type I would have been able to fit more in. Its so so easy to use. You literally set the temp and then put the timer on.
