Hide AdAhead of the festive season, consumers have struggled to get their hands on the Ninja Dual Air Fryer due to the insane levels of demand. The American appliance distributor is currently in the middle of a jaw-dropping £90 off sale for Black Friday that proved so popular it crashed the website.
The main reason behind its popularity is because of the appliance’s energy efficiency and faster cooking times. Despite using electricity, it reportedly costs half the price to cook with an air fryer compared to regular gas ovens.
Buying into the hype, supermarkets like Aldi have launched their very own versions at a much lower price. The most expensive Ninja Air Fryer totals at around £230 - during the sale - and the cheapest, which is the 7.6L model of the Ninja Dual Air Fryer, will set customers back about £200.

Aldi’s Ambiano Air Fryer comes with seven pre-set programs, as well as functions to reheat, defrost, keep warm and sync. It features an easy-to-navigate touch screen control system with a 60 minute timer and adjustable temperature controls, two four litre cooking baskets and soft touch handles.
It is currently available online and can be purchased via the official Aldi website, however due to demand you might find yourself in a queue. You can also visit or contact your local Aldi and find out if they have any in stock.
