Each of these comes out of the same exercise: reading the official cooking charts of every air fryer in the database side by side, which is something no single manual can do. Two standing references sit alongside them — the full register of where the manuals disagree with each other, rebuilt from the data at every build, and what changes between the three air fryer formats.

• Air fryer food safety: why the internal temperature never changes, whatever the manual says

• Does a more powerful air fryer actually cook faster? What Tower's own numbers show

  August 24, 2026

  Tower sells essentially the same air fryer at 1000W, 1400W, and 2600W. Comparing its own official charts shows extra wattage speeds up some foods and does nothing at all for others.
