The Tower 8 Litre Air Fryer is a spacious dual-basket model that lets you cook multiple dishes simultaneously at different temperatures. With its generous capacity and Tower Vizion technology, this appliance has become a favourite among families who love air-fried meals without compromising on portion sizes.
The Tower 8L Dual Air Fryer stands out for its impressive 8-litre capacity, split between two 4-litre baskets. This means you can cook your main and sides at the same time - imagine crispy chicken in one basket and roast potatoes in the other. The independent temperature controls (ranging from 60°C to 200°C) allow for precise cooking, while the 60-minute timer with auto-shoff ensures safety. Many users report perfect results when following recipes from airfryerrecipe.co.uk in their Tower Vision Dual Air Fryer.
Cleaning is remarkably simple thanks to the non-stick, dishwasher-safe baskets and removable crumb tray. The Tower Vizion Air Fryer 8L also features cool-touch handles and a sleek digital interface that makes operation intuitive. For those new to air frying, the included recipe book provides excellent starting points before exploring more advanced dishes in our chicken recipe category.
What really sets the Tower 8L Air Fryer apart are its smart features designed for modern kitchens. The dual-basket system isn't just about capacity - it enables you to cook at different temperatures simultaneously, perfect when you need crispy bacon at 200°C while gently reheating leftovers at 120°C. The rapid air circulation technology ensures even cooking without hot spots, a common issue with cheaper models.
The digital display provides clear feedback, and the preset programs take the guesswork out of cooking common dishes. We particularly appreciate the synchro finish feature that lets you coordinate cooking times across both baskets. If you're converting traditional recipes, our air fryer conversion chart works perfectly with the Tower 8 Litre Air Fryer's temperature range.
In practical tests, the Tower 8L Dual Air Fryer delivers excellent results across various food types. The spacious baskets accommodate a whole chicken (up to 1.5kg), multiple burger patties, or enough chips for four people. The powerful 1700W heating element quickly reaches temperature, and the air flow system creates that desirable crispy texture without excessive oil.

This model particularly suits families of 3-5 people or those who entertain regularly. The dual functionality means you can prepare complete meals without juggling multiple appliances. Busy parents appreciate being able to cook healthier versions of family favourites quickly - from fish fingers to vegetable stir fries. The Tower 8 Litre Air Fryer also works well for meal preppers who batch cook for the week ahead.
While the footprint is larger than single-basket models, the space efficiency of cooking two dishes simultaneously often justifies the counter space. Those with smaller kitchens might prefer storing it when not in use, though many owners report keeping their Tower Vizion Air Fryer on display due to frequent use. For keeping it spotless between cooks, our guide to air fryer cleaning covers all the maintenance tips.
The Tower 8L sits at the larger end of Tower's air fryer range, with the 4.3L and 5.5L models being popular alternatives for smaller households. What makes the 8-litre version special is the dual-basket design - a feature not available in their smaller units. The Tower Vision Dual Air Fryer also includes more advanced temperature controls compared to their basic models, giving professional-level results for home cooks.
To maximise your Tower 8L Air Fryer's potential, always preheat for 3 minutes before adding food - this ensures even cooking from the start. Don't overcrowd the baskets; leaving space between items allows the hot air to circulate properly. Shaking the basket halfway through cooking (for certain foods) guarantees uniform crispiness. The Tower Vizion Air Fryer 8L works particularly well for frozen foods - try our frozen food recipes for quick, hassle-free meals.
Experiment with the dual cooking functions - you might cook salmon fillets in one basket while roasting asparagus in the other for a complete, healthy dinner. The keep-warm function maintains temperature for up to 30 minutes, perfect for when family members eat at different times. Remember that cooking times may vary slightly from traditional oven recipes, so always check progress a few minutes before the suggested time.
