So let's take a look in a bit more detail...

The Tower Vortx 7.2 litre air fryer is priced at good value (when checked 3rd November 24), when compared to the Satisfry XL before any discounts. That said, promotions sometimes see the Satisfy XL as low as £49.99. So do time your shopping well. But even you're spending more on the Satisfy XL, what do you get for the extra money?

No doubt you’re looking for a large air fryer to feed the family. And while the Vortx model here does have an impressive 7.2 litre capacity, if every chip counts then the 8 litre offers something more. An additional 800ml capacity is another person cooked for! So for families of 5 (or even more) the Satisfry XL copes remarkably well. You can cook up to 2.2kg of chips or a whole chicken in the Satisfry XL (though for the ideal browning we’d suggest actually cooking up no more than about 1.2kg each time). But even if you only half fill it, that’s still plenty of chips for 5 or 6 people. The Tower Vortz 7.2 litre is a big air fryer too, no doubt. But the extra capacity really is a win for big families.

If you’re a fan of clear countertops and like to store your countertop appliances in the cupboard, the weight will matter along with how compact it is! The Satisfry XL weighs in a 5.21kg compared to the 5.51kg of the smaller capacity Tower Vortx 7.2 so is more portable and lighter weight when it comes to putting away. The Satisfry XL is also incredibly compact, making it easier to find space in the cupboards to keep it off the countertops when not in use.

We’re proud of our two year warranty as standard in the UK. That’s double the warranty of the Tower model and an extra 12 months of peace of mind.
