Argos shoppers praise 'amazing' Ninja air fryer 'dupe' that has them ditching the oven

With households continuing to feel the crunch of the cost of living crisis, many have been looking for ways to keep their energy costs down.

This has led to a steady rise in popularity on air fryers among families who are looking to reduce their energy usage when in the kitchen. With their energy efficiency and lower running costs, many have praised the nifty kitchen gadget for helping them to cut back on the amount of times they use the oven.

And the latest to grab shoppers attention is the Tower Dual Air Fryer from Argos that has impressed them so much they say they have been ditching their ovens completely since purchasing one, reports The Manchester Evening News.

The retailer's Tower T17088 9L Dual Basket Vortx Air Fryer - which is priced at £130 - might not be the cheapest on the marketplace, but it has received glowing reviews from impressed shoppers. Some of who have raced to the checkout as soon as the "amazing" kitchen appliance came into stock.

In even better news, Argos' air fryer has been compared to the pricier Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Air Fryer, which is priced at a whopping £229.99 - making the retailer's 'dupe' £100 cheaper.

The affordable air fryer has a nine litre capacity and two separate cooking baskets to save arguments on what’s for dinner.

Little to no oil is required, making it a healthier option, and it has a 30 per cent faster cooking time compared to conventional ovens, making it the ideal alternative for those looking to save on their energy usage at home.

The air fryer was shared by an excited shopper on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook Group, which racked up more than 600 comments in 24 hours.

Dani Shortt said: “I have this exact model! It’s absolutely brilliant, healthier meals for my children, and less energy usage than an average oven!”

AJ Marlz added: “I have this and it's amazing!! Literally used it every night since we brought it.” While Laura Bozena Nightingale commented: “I go and fetch mine today! Buying it was a blur, I saw it was in stock and approximately 30 seconds later I’d complete purchase.”

The air fryer has 12 one-touch pre-sets for all your air fryer favourites including fries and chicken, with individual control over each compartment. It’s also got a re-heat function, cool zone, and digital timer so that everything is ready bang on time.

According to Argos , 100 per cent of reviewers said they’d recommend this air fryer, which has earned itself a string of five star reviews. Customer Chris said: “I bought this a month ago and is the best purchase I ever made, easy, no mess and fast love love love.”

‘Bargainhunter’ has completely ditched her oven since buying the air fryer, writing: “This is amazing. I haven’t used my oven since I purchased this. Takes a while to get used to the functions but now it’s a breeze. Best purchase ever.”

And Lottie added: “I do not know why I have waited so long to get an air fryer. Love it. Quick and easy.”
