What This Product Is Used For
The Tower T17137WHT Vortx 8.5L Dual Basket Air Fryer is a white and chrome dual basket air fryer designed for cooking smaller portions in one basket or larger family meals using both baskets together.

Compared with a conventional oven, it cooks up to 30% faster, making it a practical choice for everyday meals when you want speed and convenience.

Real World Performance and Day to Day Use
In everyday use, the Tower T17137WHT Vortx 8.5L Dual Basket Air Fryer is designed to make meal preparation easier when different foods need different timings. The two 4.25L baskets act as individual cooking spaces, so you can cook smaller portions in one basket or use both baskets for full family meals.
The Sync Finish function is useful when foods have different cooking times because it controls timings so both compartments finish together. The Dual option can match the settings in both baskets, which is useful when cooking twice as much of the same food in one go. Vortx Air Frying Technology rapidly circulates hot air around food, cooking up to 30% faster than a conventional oven while needing little or no oil for crisp texture.
Choose this if you want a dual basket air fryer for family meals, faster cooking and easier timing.
Skip this if you only cook small single portions and want the most compact air fryer possible.
Why We Like This Product

It helps buyers avoid the mistake of choosing a single basket model when they really need more flexible cooking space.
