For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. Not everyone’s cooking space is big enough to accommodate a deep fat fryer, or even a normal-sized air fryer for that matter. But did you know you can achieve the same great taste without taking up so much kitchen space? The Lakeland Digital Compact Air Fryer is the perfect size for cooking for one or two people in a limited space, using little to no oil. With a footprint of just 25 x 18cm, it’ll soon become your new best friend in the kitchen.

Helen found it cooked much better when in the single zone mode, and cooked up an array of foods with it in good time. Our expert reviewer Helen said she 'couldn't think of many reasons not to buy this air fryer', which is high praise indeed from our hard-to-please expert. If there are any stubborn stains or food residues inside the air fryer, you can use a baking soda and water paste to scrub them away gently. The 360-degree stirring paddle is incredibly handy and ensures food is evenly and consistently cooked without the need for shaking your food mid-cooking cycle. Nine automatic cooking functions take most of the guesswork out of air frying but there’s still an option to manually set the time and temperature if need be. What’s more, if you’re using these presets, the Genius+ (and every other Genius model in the range) automatically adjusts the temperature and stirring paddle during cooking so your food isn’t overcooked.

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 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. Forget old chip pans full of oil – the new generation of electric deep fat fryers and digital air fryers are by far the best way to make delicious, golden chips (and they’re much less of a faff too!). At Tower, we believe the question should really be, 'What CAN'T I cook in the Air Fryer?' as the options are limitless! Both air fryers look great, but I do prefer the look of the Ninja. The smaller control panel is less prone to smudges, although it does make the controls a little more fiddly.

Just make sure to go into owning your Ninja with an open mind, and join online communities if you're looking for recipe inspiration and tips. Like the Ninja, this air fryer has five other functions, and all of them are perfect for everyday cooking. The bake function is ideal for bread, the reheat function works for leftovers and you can even dehydrate oranges inside with the ability to set the temperature low for a long period of time (up to 12 hours). 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.

Cook twice as much food than a standard air fryer with this easy-to-use Tower Vortx Dual Basket Air Fryer.
