Cookworks
A retailer own-brand, included deliberately because own-brand appliances are a large share of what UK households actually own. AirfryerHQ has no affiliation with the retailer.
AirfryerHQ is an independent information site. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any appliance manufacturer. Product and brand names are used descriptively to identify appliances readers own, and belong to their respective owners.
About the company
Cookworks is Argos's own kitchen brand. Own-brand appliances are systematically under-covered by air-fryer content because they have no marketing budget behind them and no enthusiast community, and they are nonetheless in a very large number of kitchens. The manual for its 9L dual model carries one of the longest cooking charts we have read.
Also trading as: Argos Limited
Model numbering
The badge is the retailer's; the manufacturer is identified only by a model number such as KDF-5577DTW, which is the identifier to search for.
Finding your manual
Manuals are published in the retailer's own manual library, indexed by the catalogue number rather than by the model number. The model number is on the rating plate and in the specification table at the back of the manual.
AirfryerHQ does not host or reproduce manufacturer documentation, and does not link to support pages whose addresses we have not confirmed. A broken confident link is worse than an accurate instruction.
How these models differ
2 models are held, across 2 kinds of machine. Each row is what that model’s own manual or specification prints, so a blank is the manufacturer’s silence and not a zero. The last two columns are the ones that differ most between siblings: settings one model has and the others do not, and what each manual says may go in a dishwasher.
| Model | Kind | Litres | Zones | Power | Settings only this one has | Dishwasher |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| KDF-5577DTW | Dual-basket air fryer | 9 | 2 | 2600 W | Cakes, Dehydrate | Frying trays, Crisper racks |
| KDF-596D | Basket air fryer | 5 | 1 | 1600 W | Meat, Cake | Frying tray, Basket |
