Nice clear view.
I particularly liked this machine as you had the windows to see inside rather than having to open the drawers. Great item, easy to use, does exactly what it says on the tin!! Heats up quickly, still experimenting with it. Very pleased with it.
I decided to get an airfryer, I knew nothing about them , So looked at them on U TUBE, well, they look easy to use , ( I’m nearly 70 and a widower )
The Ninja was too expensive, The Tower 7100 is a close copy , I needed one with 2 baskets , anyway I have had it for 3 weeks and used it every day for cooking breakfast ( Bacon & Egg on toast ) evening meals .
I haven’t used my conventional oven or gas hob for the 3 weeks of getting the Tower 7100 , used the microwave for frozen baked potatoes, the Air fryer does frozen oven chips, Frozen roast potatoes, You can even cook tinned Potatoes in the fryer, Oh yes , it’s a money saver, I love it.
Great value
I read lots of reviews before buying as I was looking at more expensive brands but thought I would take a chance on this one. I have been using for over a month and I can’t fault it – seems to be good quality and cooks perfectly! Glad I didnt spend more on another brand.
Not as big
The fryer is okay but the drawers are not as big as the pictures shows. In fact they are quite small and do not seem to hold as much as shown.
Well known maker and good size air frye
Handy having two compartments with separate control but can sink to finish together. Getting used to using instead of main oven, so far things have come out great. Nice to have a three year warranty as well as necessary baskets in each compartment for cooking. Good value for money.
Great Air Frye
I bought this to replace the single rack version of this and it’s great. I like that you can have different things in different baskets and trays at diff temps and not like the drawer ones as you have shelves and can get more in.
Good produc
Works well but i wish the baskets were bigger, For how big the actual air fryer is ot comes with 2 small baskets. Cooks effecently, I love the match cooking button.
Newbie
Good product, touch screen is a bit fiddly, getting used to using it, successfully cooked a number of foods. Need to perfect timings. Smart cook is great so everything finishes at same time. Can’t complain does what it says it can do.
Good Value
Really happy with this Airfryer. Good size dual baskets. Not sure it would feed 8 people as the shelf doesn’t stay in place very well. However, cooks food evenly & quickly. Not too bulky for a Kitchen side. Overall impressed!
Drawers failed after 1 yea
The drawers which are meant to be non-stick failed early and the trays that sit inside the drawers did too. I contacted the supplier but they would not help. The 12 month warrantee had jut run out by 4 weeks and they do not have spares and won’t for the foreseeable future. The drawers on the Vision system are useless too. Very difficult to clean. If you are buying, get the one without the glass fronted drawers. Not happy with this product or the help from Tower. Next air fryer will not be a Tower one.
Large Airfrye
My old tower single basket airfryer stopped working so I decided to upgrade to a double basket & went with this model as it was a good price. I wasn’t expecting it to be just as big & have had to rearrange kitchen worktops to keep it on. It would be heavy to lift in & out of a cupboard if you had space. So far pleased with the product just getting used to the settings. Only thing I’ve noticed is sometimes when using it sets off my smoke detector? I have to open kitchen window
Uneven cooking times…
Got this as a Christmas present and find it’s great for roasting veggies and meat. However, it became apparent that drawer 1 was not cooking at the same temp/speed as drawer 2. I tried it on Match Cook with multiple things – best example was a chicken drumstick in each drawer, but didn’t take a photo. It was very obvious that drawer 2 the food was done faster. Tried on dehydrate too for kale crisps and you’ll just about see that right hand side is way ahead of the posse! So I contacted Tower as I’d registered the guarantee, but they referred me back to Amazon who sent me out returns labels. I will buy it again though.
Best kitchen appliance we have ever bough
My wife is a chef and like all of us we are looking to save money on energy bills.
As a large family we bought this hoping it would save money and maybe enable us to look at healthy recipes.
We have used these for over 4 months now and all I can say is ‘Wow’, much lower energy bills compared to our oven and the versatility and food recipes we can use in this a superb. We eat healthier and even my daughter who hated cooking is producing cakes and assorted family meals.
The programmes are easy to understand and cleaning is very easy.
Compared to some of the other ‘recommended’ air fryers this has to be rated number 1 and would recommend to anyone looking for an air fryer which is a good allrounder for larger families.
This is the second air fryer we bought. Our first one was just one big drawer but having two drawers is a game changer!
It is so easy to use and easy to clean. I bought the silicone liners and this has made the cleaning even easier.
I love that I can cook two different things at the same time. It has definitely made things faster and easier in my kitchen.
I love the digital screen, and the book that helps guide you on how to cook certain foods.
It isn’t too loud when on and the beeping when it’s finished is not annoying.
Definitely recommend!
Instructions
Instruction manual is pathetic and you needs binoculars to read it – very poor very few basic cooking tips and the Tower book supposed to accompany the fryer is just full of fancy recipes very few people will use. No real clear advice on how to use the functions you need to trial and error – frustrating
Fabulous
I like the size of the drawers on the air fryer as it allows me to either cook the same thing in both with the match cook, or different things but they can be set to finish at the same time.
My main issue with it is that you have to do the presets and then change them to the time or temperature to what you want it seems. Either that or I’ve not found another way to do it.
Otherwise you just use the presets to cook what you are cooking which saves having to set the temperature and time.
Cleans really well and easy to assemble.
Flexible, solid and quie
This dryer was going very cheaply in a Black Friday sale and I liked the idea of different size baskets. (I did discover Lakeland sell an identical model with their brand but about 20 more than I paid – but with their 3-year no-quibble guarantee.) Construction is better than I hoped and feels solid. It doesn’t get very hot in use and is much quieter than my friends’ units. The small basket is just right for chips for two or for some veggies while cooking fish or chicken in the big basket. I bought some small silicone cake tins which fit the big basket and baking a cake (and scones) worked OK. I also got square silicone inserts when at Lakeland which fit really well and keep the cleaning to a minimum. I’m still learning how to use it to best effect but so far I’m very pleased.
I purchased the dual oven after lots of research and consideration of what I would find most useful. I love that the machine has two ovens that can be controlled separately, the sync finish is invaluable, meals are cooked to perfection in on average 2/3rds of the time they would take in my conventional oven, it easily fits enough food to feed a family of four, or three adults, and being able to control the light and check on the foods progress makes it super easy to keep an eye on it. The machine is very easy to clean, and I have had no need for any other racks, tins or trays. It is well made and feels very sturdy, and after a couple of months of near daily use it is still as new, and because of all of these things I am still happy with my purchase. However the machine can be a little temperamental. It requires a lot of ventilation space, so I wouldn’t recommend it if needing it to fit in a tight space where room to “let it breathe” would be an issue. At times, even with a lot of room it’ll still shut down with an error code coming up. This is easily sorted by opening the oven doors for a few seconds, but is still a nuisance while you’re trying to cook. On the whole, I am very happy with this little piece of time saving awesomeness, but when the time comes to replace it I will look for something a little less moody.
I love it!
I rarely use my oven now, except when cooking for a larger number. So easy to use and convenient. No waiting for 15 mins to heat the oven up. Put the food in, switch on and off you go! Fantastic!
Really good air frye
This a really good air fryer. Having 2 decent size drawers is good if you’re wanting to cooking 2 different things at different temperatures. Also makes a difference being able to see your food cooking through the windows.
Air frye
I bought this fryer as house warming present so I haven’t actually used it myself but I’m told they are very pleased with it they love the fact you can see the food cooking and have had some very successful meals with i
Had this a couple of weeks, we replaced a Lakeland dual one which was just way too difficult to clean. This is much easier and like the fact that it has 2/3 layers in one section if needed and you can see how it’s cooking. So far much happier with this style of Air Fryer.
When you get it working it is great but the controls took a bit of getting used to particularly the buttons which applied to both sides. I did not find the instructions very clear or the operation intuitive initially. Pretty much on top of it now and it does cook very well.
I thought I’d jump onto the air fryer wagon. I’m glad I did! As a single bloke it seemed a waste of time and gas to preheat an oven to make a meal for one person. Crispy Chicken and Chips in 20 minutes flat! You couldn’t preheat a conventional gas over in that time!
Things like veg that need boiling can go in the microwave, but things that need browning or raise like Yorkshire Pudding’s
Work a treat in one of these as do pies with pastry that need to be baked to rise and cook properly. Beginning to get experimental with it now and the two compartments have a useful “smart finish” setting, so two items that have different cooking times can synchronise themselves to finish at exactly the same time. A very handy feature!
Love this! But it’s a funny one, I wish it had a space for one of the metal shelf’s to be in the middle of it, you either have to go High or low so putting multiple things in burns at the top and doesn’t cook as good at the bottom but for a budget one, I do love it.
It also has the fan at the back so it overheats sometimes but shuts off when it does
