Tower
A UK housewares brand with a broad air-fryer range sold through the grocery and discount channels. AirfryerHQ has no affiliation with the company.
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
Tower products are sold widely through Argos, Tesco, Sainsbury's, B&M and Lidl, which puts them in a great many UK kitchens. Four of its manuals were read for this catalogue, covering two single baskets, a dual basket and an oven-style machine with a rotisserie. Six Tower air fryers were subject to a fire-risk recall in 2025 and that recall is recorded here.
Also trading as: RKW Ltd
Model numbering
Model identifiers are a T17 prefix followed by three digits, sometimes with a retailer suffix — the T17129L was the Lidl version of the T17129 sold by Argos, and both appear separately in the recall notice.
Finding your manual
Manuals are published by the retailers that sell the products and by Tower's own site. The model number is on the rating plate on the underside; it is the only reliable way to check a product against the recall list, because the marketing names are reused.
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
4 models are held, across 3 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| T17067 | Basket air fryer | 4 | 1 | 1400 W | Chicken drumstick, Ribs | None, by its manual |
| T17088 | Dual-basket air fryer | 9 | 2 | Not published | Meat, Drumsticks, Pizza, Vegetables, Re-Heat | Not stated in its manual |
| T17038 | Oven-style air fryer | 11 | 1 | 2000 W | No settings table held | Not stated in its manual |
| T17023 | Basket air fryer | 2.2 | 1 | 1000 W | No settings table held | None, by its manual |
