Air fryer alternative sends shoppers wild as gadget deemed 'must have' product

People across the UK are rushing to their local stores to get their hands on any air fryer they can with the kitchen gadget becoming one of the most sought after purchases of the year.

The 'must have' item has been a saint in kitchens with people turning off their oven for good and comes as the cost of living soars.

With energy bills at an all time high for many, the gadget is welcomed and although the initial cost may be slightly higher than many could like, it's said to save money in the long run.

And it seems that one shopper has come up with an alternative with others in an agreement that it could actually be better than the air fryer itself.

Taking to Facebooks' Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, one shopper posted to the groups two million members what she had purchased.

She said: "Been searching the web for the best air fryer at the best price, came across this on the very site after receiving a £50 off voucher in the post this morning when you sign up for very pay (you get 20 per cent off for signing up anyway which is pretty much the same for this).

"Already has £20 off so a massive saving I was planning to pay it off straight away but you can actually spread the cost over 3 months with no interest! I was going to get the new tower one but this one seems a lot better quality although it’s an oven it still air fry’s and can fit pizzas in! Not costing that much more then the tower."

She posted it to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group. (Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group.)

The product she is talking about is the 'Ninja Foodi 10-in-1 Multifunction Oven DT200UK' which currently costs £229. The description reads: "The Ninja Foodi is so much more than an oven - create everything from bubbling cheese-on-toast to a whole roast chicken and fluffy roast potatoes with 10 functions - Air Fry, Roast, Whole Roast, Grill, Bake, Pizza, Dehydrate, Reheat, Toast and Bagel."

It then adds that it benefits from the following features:

  • Up to 40% Faster Than A Fan Oven*: Quickly and easily create family-sized meals in as little as 30 minutes. Say goodbye to long waiting times with a super-quick 90 second preheat.
  • Cook On 2 Levels: With 2-level cooking, you can fit a main and sides at the same time - so there's no need to use multiple appliances to cook a complete meal. Roast a chicken with potatoes, Tuscan roast pork with vegetables, traditional fish and chips, or cook 2 oven pizzas at the same time! A digital oven rack guide illuminates to help you choose the optimal rack positions for each cooking function.
  • True Surround Convection: Enjoy fast, crispy and even results. A high-velocity fan, rear heat source and surround airflow combine to circulate superheated air throughout the entire oven for even cooking on 2 racks - no need to rotate your cooking trays or flip your food.
  • Air Fry Using Little To No Oil: Enjoy extra-crispy results, up to 75% less fat than traditional frying methods**.
  • Easy To Use & Clean: Simply select a cooking function, time and temperature or toast shade with touchscreen controls and a digital display. A removable crumb tray slides out so you can easily clean up crumbs and small spills. Get started straight away with a chef-created Recipe Guide.

In response to the post one said: "They are absolutely brilliant we have one."

Another added: "I’ve removed my oven all together and just have these now. Don’t miss my oven at all."

"I have this and it’s fantastic! Never use an oven now" wrote a third.

Meanwhile a fourth added: "We upgraded to this from the ninja air fryer. Haven't used oven since. Can do anything and everything in it."

You can purchase the product from the Very.co.uk website.
