Earlier this morning, the Aldi website and app crashed as more than 187,000 people rushed to try and buy the supermarket's cheap Ninja air fryer dupe. Shoppers set their alarms for the crack of dawn in the hope of getting one of the air fryers, which are priced at £89.99 each.
Aldi's air fryer costs £140 less than the Ninja air fryer. Ninja currently has a Black Friday sale on which has seen the price of air fryers slashed by £90.
Tens of thousands of people were left bitterly disappointed as the air fryers sold out in minutes. Shoppers reported queues of over 187,000 people, with many stuck on an online waiting list page.
