Salter EK5817 DuoWave 2-in-1 Air Fryer Microwave
26L, 900W microwave, 1500W air fryer
Editorial review Reviewed 1 October 2026 How we assess products
The Salter DuoWave is the more specialised choice for households that want to microwave everyday food and crisp up side dishes in the same worktop space. Its 26L capacity sounds generous, but the heating element reduces usable height, so check tall bowls and dishes carefully. Shallow foods such as chips and tofu suit it better than thick bakes. It can help with the sides for a larger meal without being a replacement for a full family oven. Buttons share functions, so expect to use the manual while learning the controls.
