Air fryers have become a staple in most kitchens across the country, including my own. If you’re yet to jump on the bandwagon, Black Friday is almost here, offering the perfect opportunity to save on the popular appliance.
Changing the home-cooking game, thanks to their ability to cook foods quickly without oil, air fryers use far less energy than an oven, too, with the appliances costing about 17p per hour to run.
Aside from air fryers, Black Friday also offers you the opportunity to save on other household must-haves, including vacuums, electric heaters, dehumidifiers and more. Whatever your home needs, this is the time to buy it.
Whether you’re a newbie to the air frying game, or it’s time for an upgrade, I’ve got you covered, with everything you need to know about this year’s Black Friday sale and the air fryer deals it may bring with it.
