- They like the size of the baskets and the dual-basket cooking, including cooking two foods with different cooking times.
- One said it took a while to work out the controls.
Known issues and safety
Recall check: we read the official GOV.UK notice “Product Recall: Tower Air Fryers” (reference 2503-0094) on 18 October 2026. It was first published on 8 April 2025 and last updated on 9 March 2026 [2]. It covers products that may overheat and ignite, made between January 2022 and April 2023. It lists six models: T17023, T17061BLK, T17067, T17087, T17129L and T17129. The T17100 is not in that list [2].
The notice tells owners to check their product on Tower’s recall site [3]. That site asks you to complete a step-by-step form with contact details and a photo of the rating label, so we could not use it to check a model independently. If you own a Tower air fryer, check the model code on the rating label under the appliance and compare it with the list above.
Questions people ask
Is the Tower T17100 part of the Tower air fryer recall?
It is not in the model list on the GOV.UK notice we read on 18 October 2026 [2]. The list has been extended before, so check the notice again before buying or using one.
How big are the baskets?
Two 4.5 L drawers, 9 L in total [1].
Can the two baskets cook different foods?
Yes. The seller says the Smart Finish function adjusts times so that both baskets finish together, and Match Cook copies settings across the two [1].
What is the temperature range?
50 to 200 °C, with a 60-minute timer [1].
Alternatives
- Other dual-drawer air fryers: Compare total capacity, wattage and whether the maker publishes a recall and warranty page.
- Single-basket air fryers: Smaller and cheaper, but only one food at a time.
Our verdict
Based on the evidence, this suits households that want to cook two items at once in a 9 L unit. Look elsewhere if you want written confirmation from Tower that this model is outside the 2025 recall, or if you need a verified weight and warranty. This is a research summary, not a test result.
