What Tower's charts look like as a set
The range on file. 3 models, split 2 single basket and 1 dual basket. They run 1000–2600 W and 2–9 L, with dials topping out at ~392 °F. The median Tower here draws 1400 W against 1700 W across every brand on the site. All of them have a preheat setting, which matters because a chart written for a preheated machine and one written for a cold start are not measuring the same thing — the model pages say which is which.
What is documented, and what isn't. 21 cook times from Tower's own manuals, covering 9 of the 18 foods on this site.
Short or long against the rest. Of the 21 Tower figures that another manufacturer also publishes a figure for, 19 land inside the band the other brands cover, 1 are shorter than anything any other brand publishes, and 1 are longer. Which of them is right is not something this site decides — the register keeps them side by side instead.
Where Tower contradicts itself. Two Tower manuals give the same food time ranges that cannot both be right. This is not a comparison across brands — it is one manufacturer's charts disagreeing with each other:
- Chicken Thighs & Drumsticks — T17088 says 18–22 min at ~356 °F, T17087 says 25–30 min at ~356 °F.
- Frozen Fries — Thin Cut — T17088 says 12–16 min at ~392 °F, T17087 says 18–20 min at ~392 °F.
