Argos has reduced the Cookworks 9L Dual Air Fryer in Black to £60 in its summer sale, down from £100, saving shoppers £40 on a kitchen gadget that reviewers say is ideal for kitchens with limited counter space.
The dual-compartment air fryer has two baskets with room for up to eight servings of food, allowing two different dishes to be cooked at the same time. It features a 60-minute timer, 10 cooking programmes and temperature settings ranging from 60 to 200 degrees.

Each 4.5L basket is lit and has a viewing window, making it easy to monitor cooking. The appliance uses high-speed air circulation, which requires 80% less oil than traditional frying.
Specifications include an estimated maximum food capacity of 2.25kg (based on frozen chips), a 9L capacity, dishwasher-safe parts, a removable bowl, two cooking compartments, and dimensions of H33, W38, D38cm. It weighs 8kg.
Shopper reviews
Shoppers have called the Cookworks 9L Dual Air Fryer the best air fryer option they have found, noting it is perfect for small kitchens and could suit first-time homeowners or university students moving into dorms.
One reviewer wrote: "Best thing I have purchased in a long time. Haven’t used my oven since buying. Quicker and easier and food tastes so much better. Easy to use and I love the match cook facility and the fact you can set tray 1 and 2 at different times and temps but by a press of a button all finishes at the same time."
Another said: "Bought it about 2 weeks ago - has exceeded expectations. Food genuinely tastes better in an air fryer, and having one of this size fits perfectly in small kitchen." A third added: "Always wanted a double sided one, looking at the paperwork looks very impressive. Used one before and looking forward to using this one with it's extra options."
