Tower, T17123, Vortx Vizion 7.5L Air Fryer with Colour Digital Display, Digital Control Panel & 7 One-Touch Pre-sets, 1900W, Black

Purchased one from another retailer as I'd heard such good reviews on them. My halogen cooker had just packed up and was about to replace it but instead opted for the Air Fryer and what great appliance it is, so easy to use, it cooks food quickly and efficiently without the mess and reheats food in half the time as the oven; saving on energy costs too. The drawer isn't a bad size either but having opted for the 4L one I wish I had gone for the larger drawer as I'm using it more than I expected. The drawer is easy to clean and non-stick too. If there was anything to comment on it would be the little rubber corners that go onto the lift out tray, that sits in the bottom of the drawer. Be careful when washing as they can come off (no biggie they slip back on fine but they can disappear down the sink if you're not careful!). Overall great kitchen appliance and this purchase from Amazon is a Christmas present for my Sister.

I was cagey, but everyone was raving about these things and when even my brother said he'd had food from one and it tasted fantastic enough to make him buy, I figured I'd take the plunge. I HATE cooking with a passion, so the idea of something that cooks as fast as a microwave while leaving the food crispy as opposed to soggy definitely appealed.It arrived fast, well-packaged and with clear instructions. It's a breeze to clean. I tried chicken first. OMG. I'd forgotten chicken could taste this good. Seriously. I haven't had anything like it since my mum died (and she slaved over the cooker!) The food was cooked all the way through but not dry, crispy skin and simply perfect. I promptly recommended it to my niece who's also been thinking about it.It's a UK company which pleases me even more because if there is a problem, I know I can easily contact them (a rather different matter if the things' from China as so many seem to be these days). Fair price, well built, does what it says on the tin. Recommended!

For full transparency I am reviewing this unit as a £40 not based upon it's full RRP.The main reason I got this particular one was that it was half price and in black. And for what I paid it is solid enough.After a months use it's not broken, hasn't caught fire or any other gremlin behaviour.PRO: Not that cumbersome despite its slightly curved shape,Reasonable volume,What you see is what you get.CON: Temperature and timer are rotary dials, so has no fine granularity to it. This isn't "Bad" perse just takes a little experience in using to experiment and find the "ideal" settings.It's not a bad unit, really. Yea finer control over time and temp would be nice but for the price - again I paid £40 - it's reasonable. The removable tray can feel flimsy, I suspect down to how they mounted the release mechanism, but nothing has broken, and it's been in daily use for a month now. I don't know how long I will stay attached to it but it's saving me money from using an ancient electric oven.Think of this as your first car. You've just passed and got your own one, it runs fine, does the basics and has no frills. I'll run it till it breaks, then get a family model, one with a numpad and other fancy extras.

This is sturdy, easy to use, looks good. You can’t go wrong with Tower. It holds quite a lot and has an hour timer on it. It was bought for my father who’s in his 80’s and he’s mastered it better than I have.

My daughter liked my Ninja air fryer, and I thought I would buy one for her and my son in law for Yuletide. However when we were looking around both of them plumped for the Tower TI7021 family size. There are only two of them, but liked the space capacity as it is quite big, and easily be workable for a family of four.When I purchased the air fryer beginning of October I got a really good price £55.55 and used my vouchers so got a good deal. However the price has increased possibly because of the air fryer trend currently, so now at review the Tower went up to £69.99, then reduced currently at review £64.00. Even though the prices fluctuate, compared to what price I paid for my Ninja, this one looks just as good, the shape is more curvy than mine, but this one does look interesting.The dimensions of the Tower 11.40 x 14.4W x 12.8H cmsThe Tower does hold a big capacity 4.3 litres which is pretty decent for a family.Usual methods of cooking, much the same as any other ie, does great roast potatoes, I part cook my potatoes, then roast for twenty minutes and the potatoes are perfect, the Tower can also re heat, steam, bake etc.I rarely use oil but if I do just a smidge, likewise the Tower can make cooking pleasant. Very easy to understand how to work it, it isn’t rocket science, it’s just a table top oven basically. Trial and error..Perfectly cooked all the way through, so no scorching or burning.Saves up to 50% electricity and cooks food 30% faster, especially small chickens.Cooking beef as in stewing beef is divine.Temps normal like your own cooker, in fact if I lived on my own, I wouldn’t have a cooker, just the Tower and a microwave… so much cheaper, and the microwave is pennies to run.Now the Tower has that wow factor, a 3 year guarantee, that is so superior on some makes and models. However you will need to go online to activate the two years to receive.I have no way of testing this, but the company have stated some facts for example the Tower air fryer could well save you £186 a year on electricity..Air fryers do get dirty so be prepared for brown fleck marks like in the main oven sides and base, these are hard to remove, I use soda crystals for my fryer, however as a tip buy the silicone or paper cases, this saves a lot time, and keeps the fryer clean. The silicone last longer as can be washed, but the paper ones are thrown away.The basket is 10cm deep and 20cm diameter.For recipes I googled and actually joined up on one site, and frequently get recipes in my inbox free, Pinterest does great family and solo recipes also… I have a white board in which I use ie, chicken legs, 15- 20 minutes, air fry.. just until I got used to it… saves keep looking up times.All in all the Tower fryer isn’t in the same league at the Ninja, however when my Ninja dies on me, I would chose the Tower definitely, the price here is a 3rd to what I paid, and my daughter chose the Tower over anything else. For up to four people, it’s a no brainier, the tower is fabulous.I recommend the Tower 100%⭐️Thank you to the seller⭐️I hope my review helps you
