Tower Air Fryer 9L Dual Basket- How To Use And Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ต.ค. 2024
- 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 TH-cam all those will be donated to charity, so thanks. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
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.
Thanks Julie, I asked Tower for some more items to review and comment on but unfortunately they’ve turned me down😞
@@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.
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!😋 ...
@@emmyzemmy thanks for your great comment Emmy. I’m sure once you use it you will quickly get used to it- it’s a great machine and a bargain at £100.
I bought this machine just before Christmas and was totally bewildered on how to use it.Your instructions have been so helpful. Thank you.
Great thanks Carol.
I agree until this review I was struggling to use it the same way twice
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 👌
The instructions that come with it are truly woeful. I only discovered this video after I'd thrown it out.
You have just changed my life!! Got one for Christmas, and could not for the life of me work it! So pulled out my old one 🙈😂 Very helpful tutorial, thank you!! 😁👌
Stacey it’s the first time it’s been said I’ve changed someone’s life!😂 Good one.👍
Thank you SO much for explaining this to us - we got this model a few days ago and as you say, shocking instructions BUT you have explained it all in such a brilliant and easy way I’m off to cook!!! Appreciate your help 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Glad to help Cara. Please subscribe and like the channel!
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!
Don’t take it to the tip Richard - get cooking! Thanks for watching.
Having just bought this air fryer 2 weeks ago - I have not been able to work out how to use it & thought I must be thick - so I really appreciate this - thank you very much 👍
@@Arthipexercises glad the video has helped so many- 325,000 now amazing! Thanks for watching.
You're right about Tower's instructions not being clear! I've just bought an air fryer and had to watch your video to know what to do with the grill plate! Thank you!
Glad it helped Anne, happy air frying.
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.
Thanks so much for this video. My mum was almost ready to send ours back thinking it was broken, but it was just the instructions that were a bit 'broken'. Thanks for the advice. It's much easier to use now.
Great news Alison.
You’ve just saved me returning my air fryer because I didn’t think it was working properly 😂. I did find by fluke that you have to hit a pre-set first 😂
Glad it saved you the hassle Adele.
Cheers for your simple instructions and review, I've literally just purchased this very one and I couldn't figure out how to set the temp and time. Didn't realise I would have to press a preset first. Thank you for your help.
Glad to help. Thanks Moses.
Thank you for this, I bought one of these a few weeks ago but have found the instructions confusing, I far prefer to be shown how to use something rather than read about it. I’ve found this very helpful, thank you
Glad to assist!
I'd like to echo what others have said and thank you for your clear and concise instructions. The written version that accompanied the Tower left me so confused about basic instructions, now I know exactly what to do, many thanks again 👍
You're very welcome Reagz.
Got mine yesterday. The instruction manual is as useful as a chocolate fireguard. I managed after 20 mins to work it out. Looked today at your video, you've made it a lot clearer for me, so I'm not faffing about the next time I use it.
Glad it helped Angel.
You are a life saver. I’ve had this air fryer for nearly 2 weeks and I’ve struggled with the manual function. I’m excited now. Just got mine off Amazon £109. Bargain
Cheers Fizzy- yep great price - enjoy that air frying, glad o could help!
Thank you for your video. I opened the instructions and thought wowzas!! They were so poor! This has really helped
Glad it helped Nicola!
I was thinking about buying the Ninja, then Amazon also suggested the Tower. Thanks for this video. It almost what Ninja does. Thanks for the clear explanation
Despite loving the ninja foodie, I won’t buy another. Had mine around 18 months and it’s no longer working, despite me using it correctly. Contacted ninja who won’t do anything because it’s outside of the year guarantee. Seems the ninja is another load of rubbish made in China. At least the Tower one is cheaper and has a 3 year guarantee.
No problem, yes this is cheaper than a Ninja. Good value.
I have just brought this. I could not work out how to adjust the time. Thank goodness I found this you have saved my life good video thanks 😊
Great thanks Tina, glad to be of help. Subscribe to see some air fryer cooking videos.
@@wakeywarrior
Thankyou for your straightforward instructions. Very helpful
Glad it helped Kaye.
Thank you for this video. As you say the instructions are abysmal! I’m no techno phobe, but the manual isn’t very clear at all. I was trying to figure out if I could adjust the temperature and time without pressing a pre-set time, I now have my answer thanks to you.
Glad you found it useful. You are absolutely correct which is one reason I did the video so I’m glad that so quickly it has been a help 👍
I've just bought one. If you press & hold the time button it goes up in increments of 10 minutes. The instructions are terrible!
@@ahappystitcher4928 that’s true I worked that one out. Good product, instructions none existent!
Has anyone made bread in this? No instructions, very few recipes (unless you like chicken or chips, and I'm trying to lose weight 😉 ).
Thank you for the clip. It simplifies the confusing instructions.
Great video well presented. As others said the Tower instruction book is as useful as a chocolate tea pot. One look at this and all became clear. Thanks for time and effort put into making it.
Thanks Tomie, very kind 👍
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
I’m delighted to have helped a non native English language speaker👍
Really handy guide as we were having trouble trying to get it going manually, now understand you have to select a function first. Thanks
You're welcome Daz.
Oh this saved my temper rising today! Thank you for doing this video as the instructions didn't explain much. It's good when you know how isn't it 💯🥰
Yes it is good, but instructions need improvement. Glad my video is helping people, thanks for watching Jayne.
Big help that video . Mines there since May and I couldn’t be bothered reading instructions 😊
@@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.
Excellent video. Got one of these yesterday and agree that the instructions are pretty poor. You've explained it all brilliantly. Thanks for that 😀
Cheers Badger.
Thank You so much. Just bought one. Couldn't make head or tail of instructions and found your video on here.
Glad it helped you Angie.
Thanks for this guide. Having just got one I thought it was broken as the working didn’t seem logical but I’ve got it now! Thanks again.
Glad it helped Martin, thanks for commenting.
Many thanks for that. A rather counter intuitive operating procedure. I suspected it was faulty, but luckily found this video before complaining to the supplier. It's a source of bewilderment why manufacturers can make a complex well engineered product yet fail totally when it comes to the simple part, writing a decent manual.
Ha ha nicely summarised John. The fact almost 300,000 have now watched this video shows how people have struggled with the operation.
What a shining example of good technolgy with appalling instructions and controls more suited to a nuclear launch. Tower cannot possibly have tested this properly with new users or it would have been obvious the dog's breakfast of tiny control icons ,which must be pressed in the exact order ,needed urgent redesigning. Having been tempted to beat the thing to death with the nearest heavy object your video at least enabled me to cook a few chips which turned out not too bad. Thanks mate
Yes I agree it could be more user friendly but when you work it out and get used to it, it’s a great machine. Glad it helped David👍
The fact my video has had over 200,000 views and 2000 likes and hundreds of comments shows that perhaps Tower should re-write its instructions, or send me a cheque for saving hundreds being returned😂
Appreciate this video mate, it should be the official tower tutorial! Thank you ❤
Cheers Brad!
Thank you. Tried mine for the first time last night on a steak preset programme and was well impressed. Went to use it today to do some hallumi fries and it wouldn't work when I tried to manually enter temp and time. No mention anywhere in the instructions that you have to select a preset menu and then adjust! What an oversight. Thanks for enlightening me. I was groaning at the thought of having to return my 'faulty' machine. BTW, got mine for £99 during Amazon Prime week and it's £99 again right now for Black Friday.
Glad you are enjoying it Catherine. It’s a fantastic buy for under £100.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING. HELPFUL ❤
Glad to assist Betty, hopefully you are up and running now.
Instructions are poor but your video simplified it all. Thank you 😁
Thanks Bob, glad it was helpful.👍
I watched this but didn't have the time to learn but I cooked my first roast chicken and ables and scones and thought it was going to be complicated! Simple and delicious especially the chicken and scones were better than cooking them in the oven. I will be watching this video to learn how to use both for cooking. Thanks.
@@davidlibline1757 Sounds like you have done great so far.
@wakeywarrior
Good afternoon and thank you. This weekend I will learn how to cook vegetables. Very glad I bought one at a big sale. I'll get around and learn how to use both baskets from your channel. 😀
Brilliant. I can finally cook with it thanks. Agreed,the instructions are so vague that I needed youtube to help 👍🏻.
Good one Roogle.
Brilliant video thanx. Didn't know where to start with the instruction manual. So easy now you've explained it all ❤
Cheers Steve, very glad to have been of assistance.
Subscribed with pleasure mate 👍
You are a godsend. Terrible instruction manual. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Much appreciated! X
Great to read it helped Ceri. Cheers- WW.
Thanks for this, I was getting a headache try to cook fish fingers!! I've learned a lot in a short space of time. Better instructions needed.
Enjoy the fish fingers Jackie!
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
Great to hear you are using it well Dawn👍
Thanks for this-was very helpful as I couldn't figure out how to adjust manually.
Glad it helped Sue.
Just bought this and as you say instructions are very very basic. After watching your video was able to work out how to cook my roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings. Thanks.
Good stuff Keith, enjoy those puds. See my other airfryer vids and subscribe so you can catch future ones. Cheers!
Just ordered one of these today & heard the instructions weren’t great so this is really helpful thanks 😊
You will like it. Keep your eyes peeled for my new video, roast chicken and fried paprika potatoes 5 mins prep, coming soon.
@@wakeywarrior it arrived today and I love it ! Already cooked fries & chipolatas in it and they came out lovely. So much better than the oven
Thank you just using mine and was getting so confused. Your a star for doing this video xx the instructions you get with machine are a bit confusing
Glad to help Darleen.
Thank you for this, Tower should pay you for your help.
That would be cool Bernie, they said they’d send me stuff to review then said no, I was disappointed,
Thank you for this video I found it difficult to change the times. Thanks to this video found it a big help.
I’m very pleased to see my video is still helping people nearly 18 months on and 300k views later Michael. Thanks for watching and commenting and enjoy the air fryer.
thank you so much, its the 1st time of using the product and the instructions made no sense at all. But yr video was so clear and easy so I'll be able to now use it without any problems. So a big thank you once again x
Good one Roley- it makes it worthwhile me doing videos when I get this feedback 👍
Nice that it’s quiet definitely a plus for me in a small flat. Thanks for the post very helpful 👍👌🙏
Glad to help
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.
Glad it helped metaldaduk.
Great video, really easy to follow. I got mine got £75 in a sale which I feel is fantastic value.
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.
Thakyou so much. I thought I had a faulty one and was about to send it back until you explained correctly how to set time and temperature 😂
Good one Julie, enjoy the fryer.👍
Just got this model and used this video to help teach us how the hell to use it !! Cheers man x
I problem at all Ricky, enjoy the unit.
Thank you so much for this! I've only used a ninja before and found this so confusing at the start due to the rubbish instructions as you correctly said! Your video is way better 👍
Cheers Kedge!
Thank you for this! I was literally on the computer to Amazon about to send this back because we couldn't get it to work! I have no idea why you would have to set a preset to start the bloody thing lol. Thank you for the instructions!
Yes once you get used to it, it becomes second nature but it’s far from clear when you first get it. Glad to help.
So glad you made this video....instructions were frustrating....now i know 😊
Glad it helped Anne!
Thank you so much for this video tutorial! Mine arrived today and I was really excited until I saw the instructions 😭 I was thinking of returning it but I’m really glad I found your video! I’m going to make some food now!! 😄
Nice to hear Mariam.
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.
Glad it helped.
Thank you for this, I got my airfryer today and your right the booklet does not help, this was so helpful.
Glad it helped Justin.
We got one of these today. The most frustrating thing about the instructions is absolutely no explanation for what match cook or smart finish do. Nothing! This was useful, thanks
Cheers Jamie 👍
I just got this unit yesterday and I'll be trying it out tonight.
Enjoy the unit Tarni.
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

Hi Joy.
Thanks for your lovely post, I am glad to be of help.
I’ve got a few items on there being cooked in the air fryer and need to do more.
Check out the home made pizza- one of my favourites and very easy.
@@wakeywarrior I just love your name and I will be checking out more of your videos, tonight 16/05/24 , thanks to your wonderful approach demistifying these gadgets I will be attempting to cook home made chips and some frozen youngs lightly dusted fish, If I am feeling bold I may add some garlic cloves in with the fish and a few mushrooms. Thanks so much again for giving me the confidence to switch the machine on. One of your very helpful comments noted that actually an Air Fryer is just an electric fan oven. We have solar panels and battery storage , so this should be a no brainer for us.
PS the other very helpful tip was where to place the gadget as it blasts out hot air from the back, I dont want to melt my electric socket, such an important safety tip
Kindest Regards
Joy Cole
I've just bought this today and thought it was broken because I couldn't set time and temp on their own. I've used a similar air fryer before so I know how to set them and match cook/sync etc. Just needed someone to clarify you had to press a preset button first to set the time because the instructions make it seem like you can set time and temp on their own. Thanks for relieving my worry that I'd have to take it back 😊
Glad we got you up and running Angel!
Thank you so much for putting this video up. You have really explained it perfectly. Thank you again.
Thanks for the kind words Pepe.
Thank you for this video it has explained everything I didn't understand about the machine.
You are welcome Beverly. Thanks for watching.
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.
Thank you for your inventive work.
Thanks a lot! Just bought my son one of these. Your instructions are great!
Glad it was helpful Carole, please subscribe so you can see easy cooks on the airfryer. Roast Chicken and potatoes coming this week.
@@wakeywarrior Done
I have brought one just on your videos & I appreciate your optics 👍
Great thanks.
Thank you for your demo on how to use this tower double AirFryer, I just upgraded and bought this Tower Dual from Tescos here in UK. No instructions as such I had no idea where to put those lid like looking things then I see you put them inside the baskets and I was worried as they have those rubber bits on each corner on them . Took me awhile, but it did make myTofu nice and crisp happy about that.
Yes the rubber is silicone so don’t worry- it won’t melt. Glad it helped!
Thanks for the video WW! I bought the same machine at Walmart in Toronto branded as a "Kalorik" but there is almost zero information online under that brand name. The deal $89CAD was too good to pass up. I wanted to try out an air fryer so I could use the gas oven less often. I would have taken it back if all it was doing for me was increasing my french fry (chip!) intake... but I made perfect salmon and squash and decided it's a keeper. The hype is well-warranted! Will check out your other vids, thanks again.
Interesting I’ll tag the video with that brand name. Glad it helped pal.
how has it been, thinking on grabbing one on clearance
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
Thanks Christine, roast chicken one is now up.
Thanks! I gave up on the instruction manual and this has done the job!
Glad it helped, all this positive feedback makes doing the videos worthwhile.
Thank you for taking the time to upload this video, It has been a great help thank you
Glad it was helpful Patrick.
Thank you for posting this.
Awful instructions included and I genuinely thought it was faulty at first.
Good to hear you score it so highly though.
Marching on Together… glad to help!
Thankyou so much for this video ! I have just bought this air fryer and going to use it today, now I know how to use it. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 XxxxXxxx
Glad to be helpful Mrs Taylor, happy Christmas to you too.
Thanks. The instruction book is useless but you've solved the problem.
Thanks buddy👍 Glad it helped.
Very helpful. thanks. I got mine for £130 from Argos on Black Friday.
You got a great deal Jon.
Great video, I'm a new user and haven't used mine yet but this will help me loads, thanks.
Glad to help John👍
Thanks for the video. Tower owe you a fee 💷. Now shared with the rest of the family.
Awesome thank you!
Thanks for posting this video. I too found the instruction leaflet confusing and unhelpful. I feel pretty lucky, I picked my tower air fryer up for £99 from Amazon
Thanks Jan- £99 is a bargain.
Phew!......so glad I found this.....had mine delivered today and as you say the instructions are useless. Was beginning to panic....lol....so thanks for this great review.
Good stuff Toni👍 Enjoy the fryer, it is great.
Thank you. If they elaborated on the fact that the settings are just presets of times and temps, it would be much easier. Just made some pasties in it and they're absolutely bangin!
Glad it helped and enjoy the pasties!
Brilliant so much easier to understand than the booklet ..thank you
You're very welcome!
Just bought one, so thanks for the video. I paid £140 as of the 2nd Feb 23. UK
Nice one!
Thank you, thank you...really fantastic explanations...so grateful to you 😊
Thanks for the nice comments.
Explained very well,,once you get used to it it’s rather easy,thanks
No problem Carolyn, glad it was useful.
Thank you! Bought this today . Had the Tower single basket one which I loved and I am loving this one already ! . As you say, instructions were hopeless. I figured out most of it except how to get basket 2 started when I was using basket one lol Thanks again. x
Glad to be of help Safka.
Dear Wakeywarrior ,
me again, as promised I said I would let you know how my very first attempt at cooking in this gadget went!! I am in my 70,s and not used to all the smart technology!!. Answering my smart phone has actually beaten me, keep pressing the button and nothing happens! Thanks to your lovely video my meal was a piece of p.... as the saying goes, wish I could send you a picture. Thanks for giving me the courage to step outside my comfort zone and just have a go.
I just cant get over how simple you made it.. I am not going to bother with the double oven gas that wont work, just use the hob, Air fryer and Microwave, Makes sense when we have solar panels and battery storage
Kind Regards again
Joy Cole
Great to hear the solar will make cooking free Joy. Thanks for watching the channel.
I paid £83.00 for my tower 9litre Airfryer, it was on sale, I haven't used it yet, a bit scared of it if I am bing truthfull, but tyvm for your instructions, they are far easier to follow.
Hopefully the video helps you to get stuck in with using it. It’s easy when you get used to it. Good luck 👍
Thanks for the info, just bought one a couple of days ago, instructions to operate waste of time, so thanks for the video 👍
Glad it helped Elizabeth.
Was really struggling to work out the manual mode, seems like they could’ve added a manual override button, thanks for this was a huge help
It’s a pleasure Oli.
Extremely useful video - as you say, the manual is useless, this explains everything perfectly. Thank you!
Thanks for the kind comments.
Thank you so much 😊for the video, you're right the instructions are so confusing
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you for this video saved my life nearly took it back.
Always happy to help Tower Airfryer buyers Lynn👍
@@wakeywarrior I already had a Phillips airfryer and was very happy with it very easy to use but it didn’t have two drawers. What a surprise I got with the Tower like you said in your video instructions are rubbish, so thank you for explaining everything will be watching more of your videos.
Useful video, many thanks. And I agree, the instructions that come with the Tower are hopeless!! Cheers, Chris.
Thanks Chris.
Thank you, you had me up and running straight after this video
Great to hear.
Thanks, much more use than the booklet!
Glad it helped Peter.
Thank you for this as l was confused with manual settings.
No problem.
Thanks for that video defo a lot easier then the instructions that come with it
Cheers Owen glad it helped.
Just recently bought one and got the feeling the instructions were written by a foreigner. However, now I'm cracking along with it. Just cooked 'toad in the hole' for tea, it was pretty good.
I know a Mark Allen, trust you are not the same one😂
Glad you found it helpful Mark and enjoy the Toad in the Hole.
Got mine for £120 at Argos this week must have been on offer good explanation of controls
You got a brilliant bargain. I paid £199.
I got one too 🤩🤩😍🥰
@@marciabina1012 you got an amazing deal at £120. I paid £199😟
Thank you, thank you. I was about to send it back to the shop, because I could't get it to work.
Glad you now don’t have to return it Betty.
