Aldi shoppers obsessed with £149.99 air fryer that’s perfect for families

Aldi shoppers are obsessed with a £149.99 air fryer that’s perfect for families. Air fryers have really taken off recently and it’s not hard to see why.

Thanks to their innovative use of a fan and heating mechanism, this kitchen appliance cooks food by blasting it with hot air – meaning you can effectively deep fry things without all the oil, mess and stress. Healthier versions of your favourite fried foods, from crisped chicken wings to perfectly cooked chips are only a few easy steps away.

Well, according to happy customers, Aldi has you covered if you’re looking for one that’s big enough to cook a delicious meal for your whole family. Sold elsewhere for £199.99, the gigantic Tefal Actifry Advance is on Aldi’s online shelves for a more competitive £149.99.

Extra crispy chips, roast potatoes and more that use far less oil than normal are all only a few steps away with an air fryer

What’s more, the majority of those who’ve bought it have been blown away by the appliance, which has a 1.2kg capacity – meaning you can cook up more than enough to serve everyone. Boasting a 4.2 star rating overall from a whopping 155 reviews, the product has plenty of rave reviews from busy parents and individuals.

One reviewer wrote: “Absolutely love this air fryer – we are a large family so I needed one that would take larger quantities which this one does. I am still experimenting with it but there is not much that I haven’t used it for so far and everything has come out great – particularly like the chips and chicken drumsticks. Definitely recommend.”

A second said: “I bought this a few weeks ago now and couldn’t be happier……I keep experimenting with recipes. Have cooked curries, chilli’s and potatoes in a variety of ways so far. The paddle keeps food turning over gently. Brilliant. Thoroughly recommend this product.”

The Aldi air fryer is available online for £149.99

Others described it as an “Excellent product” with “great features” and “Really good”, with another adding that it was “Worth the price!” Another left a review saying: “This seems like an idea, especially at the moment with energy prices. We hadn’t had one before, or even thought about it. I like this is more of an entry level model, but so far finding it very useful and easy to use. Happy with our purchase.”

Air fryers typically use less energy than an electric oven, so switching to one to cook your meals can save on bills in the long term. While there are some negative reviews too, the bulk of these criticise the poor user manual rather than the air fryer itself.

Handy features of this item include an automatic air stirring paddle – which leads to more even cooking – and a transparent lid so you check on how your food is doing without opening it up. It can serve up to six people.
