Aldi restrict sales of £35 Specialbuy after people put in queue because site so busy

Shoppers at Aldi have been so desperate to get their hands on the budget retailer’s latest Specialbuy the store has had to impose restrictions on how many people can buy. After launching a dual air fryer earlier this month that saw customers have to queue for the website at 8am - their new three litre air fryer has had a slightly more low-key launch.

When Aldi’s £90 air fryer launched at the start of November, thousands of shoppers joined an online queue to get their hands on one, while stores operated a ticket system, with some queuing from 5am to bag one.

And after the frenzy - which has also been seen with products such as the Egg Chair and heated airer - Aldi have now launched a smaller air fryer that costs just £34.99.
