A 4 liter air fryer is a compact countertop appliance with a 4-litre capacity cooking basket, ideal for 1-2 people or small batch cooking. This mid-range size offers more versatility than mini air fryers while taking up less space than larger models.
This capacity hits the sweet spot for singles, couples, or small families who want to cook meals without wasting energy heating a large empty basket. The 4L size perfectly accommodates 2 chicken breasts, a dozen wings, or a generous portion of chips - check our air fryer recipes for portion guidance.
Students and those with limited kitchen space particularly benefit from the Tower 4L air fryer's compact footprint. At roughly 30cm wide, it fits comfortably on cramped countertops while still delivering proper air circulation for even cooking.
The slightly larger capacity versus 3L models means you can cook complete meals - think salmon fillets with veggies or shrimp stir-fry from our vegetable recipes collection. Digital models like the Tower 4L Digital Air Fryer offer precise temperature control for perfect results.
When choosing between 4 litre air fryers, prioritise models with at least 1500W power for efficient cooking. The Tower 4 litre air fryer range includes useful presets for common foods and dishwasher-safe components for easy cleaning - we recommend proper maintenance to extend your appliance's life.
Consider whether you need extra accessories - some 4L kits include grill pans or baking dishes that expand cooking options. The air fryer 4L capacity works beautifully for roasting nuts, dehydrating fruits, or baking small batches of cookies alongside savoury dishes.
Foods generally cook 20% faster than conventional ovens. Our conversion chart helps adapt traditional recipes. For example, chicken thighs take about 18 minutes at 200°C, while crispy Brussels sprouts need just 12 minutes.
The Tower 4L Digital Air Fryer leads the market with its sleek touch controls and seven cooking functions. Its square basket design maximises usable space compared to round 4 liter air fryers. The non-stick coating ensures easy release of sticky foods like marinated chicken recipes.
Basic 4 litre air fryer models sacrifice some features but maintain excellent performance. Look for at least temperature adjustment up to 200°C and a 60-minute timer. Some budget options lack the Tower 4 litre air fryer's rapid air circulation technology, potentially affecting crispiness.
This size excels at single-serve desserts, appetisers for two, or components of larger meals. Try our salmon recipes - a fillet with asparagus fits beautifully. For entertaining, the 4 liter air fryer handles cocktail sausages or crispy calamari perfectly.
Many 4 litre air fryers are designed to nest accessories inside when not in use. Measure your available space - some Tower 4L models are surprisingly compact despite their capacity. Consider storing on a pull-out shelf if counter space is limited.
The vertical design of most air fryer 4L units means they take up minimal footprint. Some owners repurpose the basket for serving - a clever dual-use for small kitchens. Just ensure proper ventilation space around the appliance during operation.
