Cooking food 30% faster, Tower Air Fryers use less power than conventional ovens. Save up to 50% on your energy by simply switching to Air Fryer cooking Air fryer technology is improving all the time. Older models might take a while to get going, and can require more oil than newer designs. Cheaper models may also require you to parboil chips, which might not be ideal if you’re looking for fast cooking times. Like its predecessor, the FlexDrawer comes with an array of thoughtful functions including its match and sync settings, the former of which allows you to match the time and temperature of both sides of the fryer without having to input all the information twice, while the latter syncs up both sizes of the fryer, so they finish at the same time, even when at different temperatures of cook times. You’ll also recognise all the classic settings for air frying, roasting, baking, reheating, proving and dehydrating, as well as the Max Crisp setting, which allows you to crank up the heat to a whopping 240ºC.

Despite being a budget-friendly option, the T17023 was no slouch in testing, cooking oven classics such as spring rolls and hash browns to a commendable crispness and performing solidly when tasked with more delicate items like meat and vegetables.

Even following 20 minutes in the air fryer, they weren’t that brown – but they were some of the crispiest hashbrowns I’d ever had. The control panel consists of a screen and touch buttons, which take up a wide slab of very shiny, fingerprint and scratch-prone plastic on top of the air fryer. Nevertheless, the Tower T17076 10-in-1 proved very straightforward to use, thanks to touch buttons for temperature, time and mode selection, as well as for turning on the cavity light and setting the rotisserie mechanism on rotate (without activating a specific cooking programme).

This digital air fryer oven from Tower is the perfect all-round cooking companion, featuring 5-in-1 functionality that lets you use it as an air fryer, rotisserie, dehydrator, as well as for baking and roasting. Air fryers work by convection, meaning they circulate hot air around your food, ensuring every bit of surface area is exposed to the oil and heat. You simply need to spray or pour a little oil onto whatever you’re cooking before switching on the appliance – although you don’t always have to use oil if you don’t want to. Add just a dash, however, and a clever chemical process called the Maillard reaction creates a crispy result with far less fat – up to 99% in some cases.

Tower Xpress Pro Combo 10-in-1 air fryer review: Should you buy it? A better way to cook halloumi was on the griddle – using the ridged side of the reversible grill plate. Ten minutes at 180°C was all it took for the halloumi to begin crisping up, although there were some paler pieces in the middle. I flipped the strips around and cooked them for a further 3 minutes, after which they’d developed excellent grill lines on both sides. With the exception of a slight change of colour for the handle, the design is identical to the previous model, with a glossy plastic body and a viewing door at the front, which opens outward like a traditional oven. There’s even an internal light that activates when you open the door.
