Tower vs. Tefal Air Fryer comparison, cooking chicken

[@brianhill1055]

My Tefal comes with a rotissierie and thick grill plate and is great you can also put the trays and door in the dishwasher in daily use

[@its-review-time]

Great, thanks👍

[@peterread6967]

that multi skewer rotisserie bit of kit doesn't come with the tower as standard. you have to buy it separate. the deeper tray (tefal) is for chips (genius). and you can see through the tefal window no problem. the annoying thing with both is that you can't get a tray in the middle shelf due to the rotisserie assembly. they could engineer this better i think.

[@its-review-time]

Hi thanks for the comment 👍, The Tower comes in 2 versions the 5 in 1 which doesn't come with the multi skewer rotisserie, or for a bit more money the 10 in 1 comes with the multi skewer rotisserie, plus a few more extra bits, The one I reviewed was the 10 in 1 version, with the multi skewers included in the price, they sell both versions in Argos or Amazon.

Tefal deep tray is for fries according to the instructions

Whatever the book says on temp & time.... Add to it. You will figure it out over time. They are a great oven . I use it more than my gas oven in my caravan . I have the Tefal & dont cook for more than two for which it is an ideal size . Knocked out a fair few sunday roasts in it . The rottisarie cooks a whole small chicken or small joint to perfection.

[@its-review-time]

Yes, you are right, it's just practice, and after a while you will get to know the correct cooking times and temperatures

[@paulsheriff]

Light on tefal on mine is perfect

[@its-review-time]

Yes the light is fine, but it is a bit easier to see in the Tower window 👍

[@paulsheriff]

@@its-review-time but I will agree if you put the grill plate on top you can't see anything below it so would have been better to have 2 lights

[@andersonlebraosanchez6401]

You know if a 10" regular market bought pizza can fit in either of those? It'd be a great replacement for a friday night pizza instead of using the huge oven

[@its-review-time]

Hi I have cooked a 9 inch pizza in the air fryer, here is the video link kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJXKpWyndrOfh5o I think a 10 inch would just about fit

[@chazM6116]

The handle is NOT for the trays it's for the rotisserie... be good to know Watts of both I have a Lidl one has rotisserie and basket great for chips. 1800w power

[@its-review-time]

Hi they are both 2000 watts

@@its-review-time well one point commented on

[@colcot50]

I have the Tower and it’s a bugger to clean, chickens if not the right size will rub against the wall and ceiling of the oven leaving a right mess

[@its-review-time]

I agree the shelves are also a pain to scrub clean, I have just tested and reviewed the Instant Vortex dual oven air fryer, and I will upload this in a few days, In my opinion, that is one of the best air fryers available.

[@colcot50]

@@its-review-time funny enough I just bought that exact model last night. I was looking for reviews when your video came up and I recognised the model I currently have. I’ll keep an eye open for review

[@SPcrypto79]

I’ve had my tower for over 3 years now … use it everyday… amazing product

[@its-review-time]

That's good to hear that it lasts that long, and that you still enjoy using it.

[@linwhitworth4794]

We have the Tower one, I would say we use it most days, really useful as we only have a single oven, which can be a bit wasteful for cooking just one small item.

[@adrianlw2750]

I bought the Tower before seeing your review or the comments. Have to say, the reason I bought it specifically was because I liked the layout with different level shelves and glass door/light inside. I’ve had it only a week, no difficulty keeping it nice and clean. So far have done burgers, breaded fish fillets, salmon fillets, pork belly strips, bacon, and home made chip potatoes. Not tried rotisserie, no desire to either. I am amazed how well the Tower works - and cheap to run. Cook the burgers in 15 mins (from fridge cold) on top position and it costs 10p if set to 180° for example. My only gripe is that the shelves are a bit fiddly to get in and out whilst cooking, but for me this is a minor point and I was kind of aware that this would be so before the purchase. Overall very pleased!

[@its-review-time]

Thanks for the message, I agree it's one of the best air fryers. After a bit of use, the grated shelves do take a bit of time to clean, but overall, it's worth it compared to some of the cheaper air fryers.

[@adrianlw2750]

@@its-review-time - I’m an air frier newby, been holding off until I found this one. I didn’t want “non-stick” surfaces that I actually cook on, so that was another plus for me (granted the drip tray is non-stick, but I’m not cooking directly on that).

[@mehran2722]

tefal 5018 or Phillips 9270?!

Sorry I haven't reviewed the Phillips,

[@kayb4995]

How was the tefal for air frying?

[@its-review-time]

Yes they are both good.

[@colincullip6463]

Bought one just recently after watching these videos,very Disappointed, you only cook two trays, because the rotisserie , why there isn’t any Non Stick is beyond me ,cooking fries in non stick utensils,I had to keep opening the door to stir them to make they didn’t stick , not a patch on the twin draw Ninja,.

[@shafi312]

Thanks so much for making the efforts in making this comparison vid. Could u kindly confirm plz if the 10" would fit into Tefal one. As I had bot the Tower and then returned it.

[@its-review-time]

Thank you for your kind comment, please confirm what you mean by 10

[@MH2206.]

@@its-review-time i think she meant 10 inch pizza, thanks

[@its-review-time]

Yes, probably, it's a bit late now, but you can just about fit a 10 inch pizza in it 🙂

[@1957HorseCrazyWoman]

I have the Tower. I make baby chicken on the rotisserie. Perfect fit. I put foil over my trays when doing fish or chicken wings. I also do frozen pizza....no foil on the tray. I use a lemon juice/white vinegar/bicarb mixture to clean the grease and grime. Amazing what comes off.

[@its-review-time]

Great 👍 thanks for the advice

[@anitainglis2005]

I've just got a tower and it's brilliant I'm very impressed with it the only thing I haven't tried is the rotatisery on it, I'm very impressed with it and I use it all the time I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a really good airfryer.

[@its-review-time]

Great 👍 I hope you enjoy it

[@colincullip6463]

Disappointed at just two cooking spaces,the rotisserie stops any more two trays plus the drip tray.

[@its-review-time]

Yes the rotisserie space does get in the way

[@AverageZoeBlogs]

That was a great comparison, thank you 🙏🏽

[@its-review-time]

Thank you for the nice comment 👍

[@behramcooper3691]

Is there a steaming function in this Tefal?

[@its-review-time]

Hi, I believe so. Unfortunately, I no longer have the air fryer, so I am unable to check

[@GrannyReplica]

I am looking for a bigger fryer to switch to, and Tefal is my favourite brand in terms of appliances. Thank you for this comparison.
