With an impressive 30-litre capacity, this air fryer oven offers generous cooking space for larger households and family gatherings.

The built-in rotisserie function adds another level of cooking versatility. Using the included rotisserie fork and handle, you can prepare a whole chicken rotisserie-style, allowing it to rotate during cooking for beautifully roasted results.

From air frying and roasting to baking, grilling, dehydrating, proofing dough and reheating leftovers, the Platinum Xpress Oven provides a wide range of cooking possibilities within one countertop appliance.
For greater flexibility, the innovative Dual-Cook function allows you to combine cooking functions in sequence. This makes it particularly useful for recipes that benefit from more than one cooking stage, such as proofing and baking bread or cooking a meal before switching to the Keep Warm function.
An extra-large viewing window and internal cooking lights allow you to monitor food without repeatedly opening the oven door. This helps retain heat inside the cooking chamber while making it easier to check how your meal is progressing.
Complete with three airflow racks, a rotisserie fork and handle, an oil drip tray and a rotating crisper basket, the Tower Vortx Platinum Xpress provides the accessories needed for a variety of cooking methods.

Advanced Vortx Air Frying Technology
Enjoy deliciously crisp food with Tower's exclusive Vortx Air Frying Technology.
This innovative system rapidly circulates heated air around your ingredients, helping cook food evenly while creating the golden textures associated with traditional frying.
Because the cooking process relies on circulating hot air rather than immersing food in oil, many recipes can be prepared using only a small amount of added oil.
It's an excellent option for preparing favourites such as chips, chicken wings, vegetables and other crispy dishes with less added fat than conventional deep frying.
Cook Up to 30% Faster Than a Conventional Oven
Spend less time waiting for meals with the Tower Platinum Xpress Air Fryer Oven.
Thanks to its Vortx rapid air circulation system, Tower states that the appliance can cook food up to 30% faster than a conventional oven under its comparison conditions.
This makes it a convenient choice for busy evenings when you want to prepare a satisfying meal without spending unnecessary time in the kitchen.
Actual cooking times will depend on the ingredients, portion sizes, selected settings and the conventional oven used for comparison.
Cook with Little or No Added Oil
Prepare your favourite fried-style foods using less added oil.
The Vortx cooking system surrounds ingredients with rapidly circulating hot air, helping produce a crisp exterior without requiring traditional deep frying.
Many foods can be prepared with little or no additional oil, depending on the recipe and the texture you want to achieve.
Enjoy favourites such as potato wedges, chicken, roasted vegetables and crispy snacks while reducing the amount of oil used during preparation.
18 Convenient One-Touch Cooking Presets
Take the guesswork out of everyday meal preparation with 18 dedicated digital cooking programmes.
The Tower Platinum Xpress Oven offers a versatile selection of presets for popular foods and cooking methods, allowing you to choose a suitable programme using the digital touch controls.

Built-In Rotisserie Function
Bring rotisserie-style cooking into your kitchen with the Tower Platinum Xpress Air Fryer Oven.
The dedicated rotisserie function allows suitable food to rotate during cooking, helping expose different surfaces to the circulating heat.
Using the included rotisserie fork and handle, you can prepare a whole chicken with a deliciously roasted exterior.
Tower states that a suitable whole chicken can be cooked rotisserie-style in under one hour, although actual cooking times will vary according to the size and weight of the chicken.
Always ensure poultry is thoroughly cooked before serving.
Rotating Crisper Basket for Even Cooking
The included rotating crisper basket provides another convenient way to prepare suitable foods.
Designed to rotate during cooking, the basket helps expose ingredients to the circulating hot air without relying entirely on manual turning.
It's particularly useful for suitable smaller foods where even exposure to heat can help improve cooking consistency.
This accessory adds further versatility to the appliance's already extensive range of cooking options.
Innovative Dual-Cook Function
Take greater control of your recipes with the Tower Platinum Xpress Oven's Dual-Cook function.
This feature allows you to combine cooking programmes in sequence, making it easier to prepare dishes that require more than one cooking stage.
For example, you can use the Proof function before switching to Bake when preparing homemade bread.
Alternatively, you can cook a meal using a suitable programme and then use the Warm function to help maintain its serving temperature until you're ready to eat.
This additional flexibility makes Dual-Cook particularly useful for recipes that benefit from different cooking stages.
Convenient Preheat Function
Prepare the cooking chamber before adding your ingredients with the dedicated Preheat function.
Preheating helps bring the oven to the required temperature before cooking begins, which can be useful for recipes where a preheated cooking environment is recommended.
This function provides added convenience when preparing baked dishes, roasted foods and other recipes requiring a specific starting temperature.
Adjustable Temperature from 30°C to 230°C
Enjoy flexible cooking temperatures with the Tower Platinum Xpress Air Fryer Oven's wide adjustment range.
With temperatures ranging from 30°C to 230°C, the appliance supports everything from lower-temperature cooking functions to higher-temperature roasting and crisping.
Lower settings are useful for suitable dehydrating and dough-proofing tasks, while higher temperatures provide the heat needed for roasting, grilling and air frying.
This broad temperature range makes it easier to adapt the appliance to different recipes and ingredients.
Easy-to-Use Digital Touch Control Panel
Operating the Tower Platinum Xpress Oven is straightforward thanks to its convenient digital touchscreen controls.
The display provides access to the 18 cooking presets, allowing you to select programmes and manage cooking settings from one central control panel.
Whether you're preparing a quick snack or a more involved family meal, the intuitive interface helps simplify everyday cooking.
Flexible Cooking Timers
Plan your meals more conveniently using the built-in digital timer functions.
The Tower Platinum Xpress Oven offers a cooking timer of up to two hours for suitable cooking programmes.
For dehydrating ingredients, an extended timer of up to five hours is available, providing additional flexibility for longer, lower-temperature cooking tasks.
These timer options help you select an appropriate cooking duration for different recipes without needing a separate kitchen timer.
Extra-Large Viewing Window
Keep an eye on your food without repeatedly opening the oven door.
The Tower Platinum Xpress features an extra-large viewing window that provides a clear view into the cooking chamber.
This allows you to monitor browning, crisping and general cooking progress while helping minimise unnecessary heat loss from opening the door.
It's especially useful when preparing baked goods, roasted meats and other foods where monitoring progress is important.
Internal Cooking Lights
The integrated cooking lights make checking your food even more convenient.
By illuminating the cooking chamber, they improve visibility through the large viewing window, allowing you to see how your meal is progressing.
This practical feature helps reduce the need to interrupt cooking simply to inspect the food.
Three Airflow Racks Included
The Tower Platinum Xpress Oven comes with three airflow racks to provide flexible cooking arrangements.
These accessories allow you to position suitable ingredients within the oven-style cooking chamber and make use of the available cooking space.
The airflow design helps heated air circulate around food during cooking.
They are useful for preparing a variety of dishes, including suitable snacks, vegetables and other air-fried favourites.
Oil Drip Tray for Convenient Cooking
An oil drip tray is included to help collect cooking drips and residue.
This practical accessory is particularly useful when roasting or preparing foods that release juices or fats during cooking.
By helping contain drips within the cooking chamber, the tray can make cleaning up after meals more manageable.
Versatile Cooking for Family Meals

Use it to prepare crispy chips, roast chicken, bake cookies, cook pizza, toast bagels or dehydrate suitable ingredients.
The combination of generous cooking capacity, digital presets and included accessories makes it useful for everything from quick lunches to more substantial family dinners.
Its multifunction design provides the flexibility to experiment with different recipes without relying on multiple separate appliances.
