Product Information

There’s no faffing around with digital displays and auto functions on this air fryer. After simple temperature selection and a twist of the timer knob, you’re frying!

Ours was crispy and gooey perfection. Take away one of the shelves and you’ll fit in a decent-sized chook for Sunday lunch as well.The Tower Vortex 7-in-1 Air Fryer with Steamer is nice and easy to use too, with the mode buttons on the front panel proving to be self-explanatory. The only thing you need to remember is to put water in the detachable steam tank, located on the top of the machine. Air fryers can cook virtually anything in them," according to Lara Brittain, kitchen and appliances expert at Currys. "However we do not recommend cooking anything considered a wet food i.e. anything in a wet batter as you would not get the best results and the batter would probably run off." How does an air fryer work? Pros: Alexa compatible, has recipes to choose from, large capacity, keep warm function, great design

We particularly liked the "sync" function that sorted out cooking so everything was ready at exactly the same time, even if we pre-heated only one basket. The machine told us when to add food and if we opened one side to move things around, the other side would pause cooking. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ It has a number of other settings too, including bake, roast and dehydrate settings. In total, there are sixteen presets; we haven't even had time to test them all. You can use foil or parchment paper in your air fryer to make clean-up easy," says Lara. "However, parchment paper is probably a better option!"That’s why the Tower Vortex 7-in-1 Air Fryer with Steamer is appealing to me, because it can combine air frying with steaming. It's a match made in heaven. Delicate foods, with fish being a prime example, are hard to get right in an air fryer, but the Tower Vortex 7-in-1 Air Fryer with Steamer has proved to be excellent at getting things spot-on.

One niggle with this model was the crumbs would fall through the basket to the bottom of the unit on air fry mode, which means extra cleaning. There was no specific keep warm function, but we found this model held onto heat really well when the drawer was fully shut. Yes, this air fryer oven is certainly bigger than some of the basket versions, but there may be a way to clear some space.Lara explained: "Air fryers have come a long way over the years and they’re not just for chips: you can bake, roast and even dehydrate ingredients too, depending on the model."
