Tower T17099 Vortx 5.2L and 3.3L Eco Dual Drawer Air Fryer with 8 One-Touch Pre-sets, 1700 W Power, Black

Product Information

This makes the Tower Vortx Eco Duo good value for money in its own right, and even more so when compared to rival models. The downside is that you do get what you pay for, and the lower price of the Tower Vortx Eco Duo matches its lower performance. To switch between each preset, you have to press the Preset Selection key. It would be more intuitive if you could simply touch the desired icon, but this is a minor complaint.

Thanks to clever Vortx technology, air is rapidly circulated around food, so cooking can be up to 30% faster than a conventional oven. Saving you not only time, but up to 50% on your energy too. The Eco Dual also boasts two different-size baskets to provide the ultimate in air frying versatility. You can cook separate meals simultaneously in the 3.3L and 5.2L drawers, or you can choose to use a single drawer depending on your portion size. It’s important to note that when shopping for gadgets and technology products, it can be tempting to go for the lowest price possible. However, be wary of retailers that offer prices that seem too good to be true. Some less reputable retailers may sell counterfeit or low-quality products, which can be dangerous and not perform as well as the genuine product. With Towers Vortx Technology your food is enveloped in rapidly circulated air to provide you with crispier textures up to 30% faster than a conventional oven with little to no oil for a healthier meal.Another important factor to consider is longevity. When you buy a high-quality TOWER Vortx T17099 Air Fryer, you’re making an investment that is likely to last longer. Cheaper products may seem like a good deal at the time, but they are often made with lower-quality materials and are not designed to last as long. This means that you may end up having to replace your device sooner, which can end up costing you more in the long run. When cooking different foods with different cooking times in each basket, the Sync Finish function will do the thinking for you. At the touch of a button, Sync Finish will control cook times so that both compartment finish cooking at the same time. No more juggling multiple cooking times for easy meal preparation By selecting the Dual option on your air fryer you can match the settings in both baskets, making it possible to cook twice as much food in one go. Perfect for cooking full family meals or larger portions of your favourite food. Tower recommends adding 1/2 tbsp of oil to chips and fries, and shaking them at various points throughout the cooking process.

The Ninja Foodi comes with six cooking options, versus Tower's four – adding reheating and dehydrating to the standard air frying, roasting, baking, and grilling – yet it's larger and bulkier, and offers fewer presets (six vs Tower's eight.)

Use the 3.3ltr basket for smaller foods or the 5.5ltr for larger foods. Use both baskets at the same time to cook more than one food at the same time for healthy family meals

It's a large appliance, too. It would be unfair to expect a large-capacity air fryer to be small and not take up significant worktop space, but the shape and dimensions of the Tower Vortx make it particularly bulky. Especially the oversized air vent and the large LED display. Across the whole appliance there seems to be a fair amount of wasted space that, if reduced, would allow it to fit more comfortably on a kitchen countertop. For instance, there are large areas of dead space between the various touchscreen buttons. This makes the screen larger than it seemingly needs to be, without adding much to the overall functionality. Exclusive to Tower Air Fryers, Vortx technology rapidly circulates hot air around food, cooking up to 30% faster than a conventional oven. Vortx also cooks food with a delicious crispy texture and because little or no oil is required, it’s much healthier too! Lose the fat not the flavour with Vortx Air Frying Technology The results were terrible. A handful of the chips had some colour to them, but the rest were still raw. I let them cook for an extra ten minutes, yet there was very little improvement. I've since tried cooking them in the larger basket and the results are better, but still not anywhere near good enough, with many of the chips remaining raw.

One of the biggest perks of the Vortx Eco Dual Basket Air Fryer is that it cooks delicious food using little to no oil so you'll be enjoying much healthier meals. You'll still get all the flavour you'd get if you were cooking it conventionally but you'll get up to 99% less fat. A perfect kitchen companion! I've been reviewing household appliances and gadgets for almost 15 years and have been specifically focused on air fryers for the past five. I'm also a huge foodie and welcome an opportunity to try something new.With 4 innovative cooking methods, duo-basket technology, and a number of other outstanding features, this Tower 8.5 Litre Vortx Eco Dual Basket Air Fryer is a cut above the rest.

What sets this air fryer apart is its asymmetric basket configuration. The bigger basket offers a more generous capacity than if they were split equally, making it ideal for larger items or bigger portions. The smaller basket is useful if you’re making a meal for one and don’t need to use the entire air fryer. SMART FINISH FUNCTION: Get more from your air fryer with minimal effort using this feature. Simply set to cook different foods in each basket – both ready to enjoy at the same time, to feed the whole family together When cooking different foods with different cooking times in each basket, the Smart Finish function will do the thinking for you.

This means that they are less likely to break down or malfunction. When you’re relying on a product for an important task, such as work or communication, reliability is key. Investing in a high-quality TOWER Vortx T17099 Air Fryer can give you peace of mind and help you avoid frustrating situations where your device fails you. I was seriously impressed with the results from the Vortx Duo. However, if you can afford to bump your budget a little higher and don’t mind sacrificing some capacity or those grill plates, the 7.6L Ninja Foodi Dual Zone remains my preferred choice. The results aren’t that much different but the design and build quality is a little better and it generally feels a bit nicer to use. Frozen chips fared better, in both the small and large baskets. The majority came out crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and there were only a small handful of chips that missed the mark when cooked in the smaller basket. They were cooked, they just weren't as tasty or crispy as the rest. They also both have ten preset functions, rather than the Duo’s eight. Ultimately, though, the differences are minimal, so which one better suits your needs will simply come down to style and whether you prefer two equal sized baskets or one big and one small.
