This black air fryer from Tower has £20 off right now on the Argos website. The entry-level model has one cooking compartment, a capacity of 3L and a compact design, which makes it good for small kitchens. It's one of the lowest prices we've seen and it's currently available for delivery or free in-store pickup.

Tower is one of the most reliable air fryer brands out there, with other models such as the Tower T17072, which was tested by our Ecommerce Editor Molly Cleary, flying off the shelves recently. After testing, the Ideal Home team found air fryers from this brand are robustly built and yield excellent cooking results - and this deal from Argos is no different.

'This style of air fryer is great for people who don't get on with digital controls,' says Millie Fender, Ideal Home's Head of Reviews and air fryer expert. 'The timer ticks like a classic mechanical timer, and will ring out when your food is done. 

'I also like that it has a pre-heat light to show when your machine is at temperature, something that a lot of the more expensive models on the market don't have.' Millie Fender previously reviewed the Tower Vortex 5-in-1 Digital Air Fryer and described it as a 'roast dinner revolution'.
