Product Information

Also note that although you can cook two different foods at the same time in the Swan Duo, you're slightly limited by what you can cook in the 4-litre baskets; they aren't exactly big. For example, over the Christmas break I cooked an air fryer Christmas cake in a single-basket air fryer; but I'd struggle to fit the 8-inch tin in this dual-drawer air fryer.

I cooked chips and fish regularly in the air fryer using the dedicated presets. I also successfully made a toastie – and, not-so-successfully, some pancakes, for which I toggled through the temperature / timer button until I reached the desired settings. I've been testing appliances (mainly vacuum cleaners and coffee machines) and smart home products for a number of years, with the air fryer one of the most frequent household goodies I've been trying out at home. I set up the air fryer as any customer would and try out the settings that suit me so I can share my findings with you, our TechRadar readers.

The first food I cooked in the Swan Duo Digital Air Fryer was, you've guessed it, fish fingers. I selected the Fish preset and adjusted the temperature from 170ºC to 200ºC, and the time from 30 minutes to 12 minutes. If I was to oven cook fish fingers, they'd be cooked at 220ºC for 15 minutes. I placed two fish fingers into basket B. In my time with the Swan Duo Digital Air Fryer, I've used it to cook various foods. In fact, it's been used (pretty much) every day to cook fish fingers in one basket, and chips in the other, for my fussy daughter.

The Swan offers a choice of 10 presets via its digital display, including Frozen Fish, Chips, Bacon, Baking and Toasting. However, if you want your chips crispier or your brownies more gooey, for example, then you can adjust the temperature by 5ºC and the time by one minute. In addition, the maximum temperature of 200ºC falls short of the 220ºC of some other air fryers I've tested. Again, this could prove limiting for those following a recipe that requires a higher heat. Setting the temperature and cooking duration myself, rather than using the presets offered by the Swan Duo, I didn't feel I was rewarded for the amount of effort that went it to making air fryer pancakes. The pancakes took what felt like a day to cook, made a mess on flipping, and were flat once cooking time was complete. Sadly, the Swan Duo Digital 9L Basket Air Fryer doesn't feature a viewing window, although the air fryer can detect when a drawer is open, pausing the timer so you can resume cooking after closing.

The overall design of the Swan Duo Digital Air Fryer is so-so, and it's bulky. Measuring 32.2 x 44.5 x 36.6cm (h x w x l) and weighing in at 8.96kg, it takes up a fair amount of countertop space, and would prove heavy to move around. As such, it's difficult to store, and is probably best left in one position on the counter.
