Argos restocks Ninja air fryer dupe that costs HALF the price and 'slashes electricity bills by £480 a year'

Retail giant Argos has restocked an air fryer which shoppers are saying is 'almost identical' to Ninja's Foodi Dual Zone. The Ninja Foodi Dual Zone is currently out of stock almost everywhere on the internet.

The likes of Argos, Ninja, Very and Currys have all sold out of the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone, but it's available for £300 on t he SantSolu website. However, shoppers have been raving about a dupe for the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone being sold in Argos for £150 - making it £150 cheaper and half the price.

The Tower T17088 9L Dual Basket Vortx Air Fryer has sold out several times, and has countless five-star reviews online. Like the Ninja, the Tower T17088 9L Dual Basket Vortx Air Fryer features two drawers, so you can cook a whole meal at the same time.

One shopper claimed the £150 item slashes their electricity bills by £10 a week. That's £40 a month or a whopping £480 a year.

Argos' £150 Ninja dupe cooks six or more portions at a time, and has a huge 9L capacity. The £150 air fryer also uses little to no oil, making it one of the healthiest air fryers on the market.

The Argos air fryer also features a whopping 12 functions - including air fry, grill, dehydrate and reheat. The air fryer also allows you to ensure all of your food finishes cooking at the same time; even if the two baskets are on entirely different settings.

The product description reads: " Cook more of the food you love with the 9L Dual Basket Vortx Air Fryer. With a larger capacity and 2 separate cooking baskets, there'll be no more arguing over what to have for dinner, making family meals much easier. Little to no oil is required, all while keeping the same great taste - so you lose the fat not the flavour. And with 30% faster cooking than conventional ovens, it's the ideal alternative for deliciously healthy meals made in record time.

"Choose from 12 one-touch pre-sets for all your air fryer favourites including fries and chicken, with individual control over each compartment."

One five-star reviewer wrote: "My wife and I have recently purchased the Tower Air Fryer and its not only versatile in many ways of cooking a wide range of foods, and i'ts very easy on the electric useage it does absolutely make the crispiest chips from frozen ! The dual baskets are just perfect for bringing meals together and the smart finish feature is another bonus to the machine . Very well made great design and easy to clean . Would highly recommend to anyone , my extended family have already put there (sic) orders in to reserve their Air fryers."

Another said: "I bought my dual airfryer a few weeks ago and not used my oven since, cooks everything perfect." A third reviewer said: "I bought this about 3 weeks ago now and I’ve used the oven only once in that time. The air fryer cooks most food much better than the oven did. When I did fries my daughter said they were the best fries she’d ever had! We’ve used it for everything from eggs, pizza, fries, sausages, pork joint (best crackling ever!!), and full Sunday roasts. I’ve used my online energy review and we are saving £10 per week using this over the electric oven."

You can buy the Tower T17088 9L Dual Basket Vortx Air Fryer here. But be quick because it's likely to go out of stock again soon.
