Product Information

The closest rival, in terms of design, to the Swan Manual is the glossy black Wilko 4L model, which is among our favorite air fryers.

Juicy watermelon teams up with salty cheese, crunchy breadcrumbs, briny capers, toasted almonds and fresh mint - all in one delicious bowl! While it doesn’t have the pre-programmed settings of many of its digital competitors, meaning it fails to offer one-button cooking, it does show recommended temperatures and times for different food choices printed on the fryer, above the dials. With Swan Air Fryers you can get the same great taste but with up to 80 per cent less fat compared to previous cooking methods. It's eco credentials are decent though could be improved with a few adjustments, such as the packaging. It's good looking with decent user-friendly credentials in terms of set-up, though elements of it – such as the drawers – do feel a bit clunky.

Instead of having to decipher what a variety of buttons and screens do, only two dials on the Swan air fryer sit between you and tasty food.

Our chips (cooked on the fries setting at 200C for 18 minutes) were generally uneven and less flavourful than we'd hoped, but had a good seal and crisp coating.Air fryers use air instead of oil to ‘fry’ food, meaning you can enjoy all your favorite crispy snacks and recipes without the mess or extra fat.

We've got a tasty recipe that combines the flaky goodness of a chocolate croissant with the sweet crunch of Mini Eggs. This should be plenty of time to cook the majority of food you’ll be making in an air fryer, but this timer limits the fryer’s versatility a little.

You can tell when it's on because it gives off a mechanical whirring, comparable to the background noise of a microwave, but it won't distract you. Cleaning is straightforward, too, although it features less commonly in Black Friday air fryer deals. One of the things I value most in an air fryer is how it speeds up the cooking process, so the fact that it took me a long time to cook chips that would crisp up in just 25 minutes was off-putting.
