Tower Air Fryer 9L Dual Basket- How To Use And Review

This is a 10 minute video of the Tower Dual Basket 9L air fryer- much like the Ninja one. It shows you how to use it, as it is a little confusing at first, and gives you my thoughts.
Let me know what you think- do you have one or want one? What do you cook in it?
Note this is also known as a Kalorik airfryer in some markets- same machine, different branding.
If the video is helpful to you and you give a donation for ‘Superthanks’ on KZbin all those will be donated to charity, so thanks.

[@Julie36285]

Thankyou so much for taking the trouble to make this video, I think you should be on the Tower payroll as you have simply and efficiently explained in a short time what Tower could not do with their instruction book. It is a great product and a useful addition to anyone's kitchen but spoilt by the lack of comprehensible instructions.

[@wakeywarrior]

Thanks Julie, I asked Tower for some more items to review and comment on but unfortunately they’ve turned me down😞

[@philliplester1741]

@@wakeywarrior They are fools, then, because their documentation for this product is woeful. £100 at the moment from Amazon. Great product, just no instructions! So thanks for this!

@@philliplester1741 yes it’s a great machine, particularly for £100 it’s fantastic. Half of what I paid. The instructions could be a lot better- nearly 150k views of this video show this. Thanks for watching Phil.

[@emmyzemmy]

Just got myself one of these, after thinking £250 for the Ninja was too expensive. Paying £100 at Argos was affordable. As Julie and Philip have expressed, Tower's instructions are woeful. It's something new and will probably take me some time to familiarise myself with it. I've wanted one for ages and raring to try it. You've given me confidence to utilise it. That's why I was delighted to find your very informative video, so thank you kindly for taking the time and effort to make the video; it is very much appreciated. Subscribed and liked too. Good eating folks!😋 ...

I agree until this review I was struggling to use it the same way twice

[@davidhaslam1056]

Home from the pub after 10 pints of stella and a double whiskey, i used this to cook me supper for the first time. Sausages in one drawer, chips in the other. Bish bash bosh, 20 minutes later, grub's up. I wasn't though by then i was fast asleep on the sofa. But because it's auto shut off, nothing gets burnt. The smoke alarm doesn't go off waking the missus up. Just warm it back up in the morning and that's breakfast sorted 😊 Happy days , brilliant piece of kit 👌

[@irenenightingale724]

I am 87 & fortunate enough to work iPads/phones etc, but found the manual that came with the machine worse than useless, especially telling you exactly how the grill trays were to go. I rang to register for the guarantee and the gentleman was not very helpful. I have worked it out for myself but you used to get much better instructions provided with the product.

[@AlAndScher]

Bought an Emerio Air Fryer 9L Dual Basket for 99.90€ just today - in Vienna - which has exactly the same build as the "Tower". Read the complete manual first and think that I understood it ... theoretically 🙂. I thought, that the producer should have an instruction-vid on YT but there was none - at least not a helpful one. So instead found yours: excellent ! Thank you for taking the trouble! I'm not a native speaker of the English language, but my English proved good enough to completely understand your explanations

Hi Thank you so much for your very helpful easy to follow video. I have purchased this is my elderly gas fan oven has packed up and I can not find anyone to fix it I have been very anxious about stating to use it as it looks so complicated on the digital control pane. In just minutes you have reassured me that it is basically very simple to use when you know what all the buttons mean and do.I asked loads of people before buying this and did some research and this had good reviews, very similar to the Ninja, but so much cheaper. I managed to get this for £94.95 from Amazon, Tesco also had Tower air Fryers on special offer recently for £79, not sure which model. I have subscribed to your channel and hope you cover thing like what dishes etc to use in the Air Fryer. We dont eat meat but do eat fish and make our own meat free burgers and othe meals, hoping we can use the air fryer to cook these. Thanks again so much. Will be keeping a close eye on yoyr chaneel Kind Regards Joy Cole

As the inventer of the air fryer, i give my blessing to this video. I invented the air fryer by accident. What happened is i farted on a cheese and onion pie and it warmed up. This led me to my "eureka moment" and i thought of warming food up using warm circulating air instead of microwaves. I've never lived the idea of warning food using mild radiation, and thi6s the air fryer was born. I want to take this opportunity to thank the world for purchasing my invention.

Hi! Thanks for this - leapt into the air fryer craze and bought one, and - as you say - the instructions are bollocks. Looked at a few reviews and yours was easily the most instructive, so many thanks. One thing - How do I grill with it? Can’t see a grill function per se…?

[@wakeywarrior]

It’s all a grill. It’s basically a heating element with a power fan. Despite all the buttons and supposed modes- The only setting changes are how hot the element gets, and how long it cooks for. So to get more grilled appearance to food, keep it at higher end such as 200 degrees. Thanks for watching.

I've just bought this from argos for £130.,I couldn't afford the Ninja so Tower it is, my hubby hates washing up so takes the plates out the bottom,he doesn't get air frying, but it still cooks great I bought some silicone trays to go in the large trays to cut down on washing up, the only thing I'm concerned about is cleaning when you have spitting from chicken? I did run a damp cloth over the top of the oven inside but will I damage the heating system or fan? Anyone had problems? Can I cover the chicken? Thanks ☺

[@wakeywarrior]

No don’t cover it, it works like both a convention oven and grill so you’ll stop the heat hitting the food. Air also has to circulate and that’s why the trays in the bottom have holes in, so putting anything underneath will also effect efficiency. I’ve never cleaned inside mine and since I made the video I have been putting the drawers and trays in the dishwasher no issue.

ordered this air fryer a few days ago £150 with 20% off first order £130 , had a 4.5 litre single for about 3 years bought from asda for about £35 which just had two control knobs on it Temp and Time ,still works perfect but some of the dial numbers rubbed off over time so an excuse to upgrade it,, they are simply fantastic, joints of meat come out well better then the main oven, cheese on toast never been easier, do toast in a toaster put cheese on add into air fryer 2 mins check after 1 minute, just so simple.

[@wakeywarrior]

Agree Master, since I have got it I’ve used it almost every day.

[@christineclark3686]

Just bought mi e direct from Tower £99.99 special offer this week

[@wakeywarrior]

@@christineclark3686 Great bargain!

[@christinejudge7943]

Thank you for your video - bought ours on Thurs and you are right manual is not user friendly. I have now subscribed to your other videos so thank you once again

[@wakeywarrior]

Thanks Christine, roast chicken one is now up.

[@susan7553]

Thanks for doing this video. I already have a Halogen oven but decided to treat myself to a Tower vortex vision that has seen through drawers so can see what is cooking in the drawers just unboxed it, it looks confusing the reason for watching your video.

[@wakeywarrior]

Glad I could help Susan !

[@theretrogk]

Don't you have to pre heat before cooking?

[@wakeywarrior]

No, I’ve never pre heated in once in around 18 months of owning it, this is where the energy savings come from.

[@da_flufffy1818]

I ordered this the other day. However I noticed that the display is so dull in terms of brightness. Could hardly see a thing. Is there a way to increase the brightness? Or do I have to just be in a dark room when using it lol

[@wakeywarrior]

Don’t think there is. Maybe you have a defective unit ?

[@dawnlilburn7535]

Cooked my first dinner in my new tower air fryer in it it was superb thanks for you r great tips on how to use it thankyou

[@wakeywarrior]

Great to hear you are using it well Dawn👍

[@rufusleaking3934]

Hello thankyou for helpful video , can you tell me how to cancel flashing preset .pressed in error but comes back flashing even after turning off and on again ,at the mains regards to you.

[@wakeywarrior]

Not sure on that one Rufus, sounds maybe defective? It should go back to not flashing when turned off I’d have thought?

[@traceykenny2887]

I’ve just bought this airfryer and have noticed my controls look very dim compared to yours, do you think that’s a defect 🤔

[@wakeywarrior]

Could be? Take it back for a replacement maybe?

[@smokeymac4516]

Hi mate! I’ve just bought this exact air fryer 2 days ago and I think the fan on the left side isn’t working. It is heating up but no noise coming from it

[@wakeywarrior]

Are you sure the correct drawer is going? You can feel the air blowing out of the back exhaust on each side. It should be hot air. No hot air when it’s on, there’s something wrong. Good luck.

[@MrRichardHinds]

WOW. Bought mine second hand. Read the instructions 4 times. It's currently sat by the back door on it's way to the local tip as I can't actually use it. Now I'll have another go - thanks!

[@wakeywarrior]

Don’t take it to the tip Richard - get cooking! Thanks for watching.

[@inbtweene2967]

Thank you, thank you...really fantastic explanations...so grateful to you 😊

[@wakeywarrior]

Thanks for the nice comments.

[@SeanNeedham-o8e]

Just purchased this air fryer 15 - 7 - 23 £100 Argos £20 cheaper than Tesco's 😊

[@wakeywarrior]

Yes at £100 this is an absolute bargain.

[@stevieR6]

Hiya I've just bought this air fryer and my display is really dull (can hardly see it) is there anything in the settings to brighten it up????

[@wakeywarrior]

No it shouldn’t be that dull, unless you have bright sunshine on it? May be defective if not, should look like my video.

[@theabandonedhunter3604]

Thank you for the video that was really helpful and I’m sure I will keep referring to this whilst I get used to using the air fryer.

[@wakeywarrior]

Glad it helped.

[@metalbearuk]

Thanks for this ! The smart finish was doing my head in, but you've made it easy. Mine is a different make, but looks and operates exactly the same.

[@wakeywarrior]

Glad it helped metaldaduk.

[@lilysmith1607]

Yes good video thank you. Instructions tell you do not exceed the max fill line, but where is this line?

[@wakeywarrior]

No idea I’ve never seen a line! Just fill it to a sensible level, remembering the more, say, chips in there it will need a few shakes and maybe 20 rather than 18 mins.

[@danielfearnehough4487]

Great video, really easy to follow. I got mine got £75 in a sale which I feel is fantastic value.

[@wakeywarrior]

Wow £75 cheapest yet. A steal at this price I should buy a few for back ups. The instructions are crappy but the product is fantastic.

[@cathaldowdall7467]

Big help that video . Mines there since May and I couldn’t be bothered reading instructions 😊

[@wakeywarrior]

@@cathaldowdall7467 glad it helped Cathal. I notice the Airfryer seems very popular in the Republic, a huge number there have watched this video according to my stats.

[@elizabethtriantafillou3229]

Thanks for the info, just bought one a couple of days ago, instructions to operate waste of time, so thanks for the video 👍

[@wakeywarrior]

Glad it helped Elizabeth.
