Black Friday air fryer deals at Ninja, Argos, Currys including 'popular' £45 item

With sales surging as people try to cut back on using their ovens and hobs, this Black Friday looks set to be the year of the air fryer rather than the usual tech gadgets and Christmas gifts the sales have become known for.

The first big name air fryer to be reduced this year was the via Ninja Kitchen, who released 16 of their biggest and best Black Friday deals in a surprise early launch.

As well as discounting the Ninja Foodi MAX 14-in-1 SmartLid Multi-Cooker by £30 to £249.99 it announced that the multi-use product, which is an air fryer, pressure cooker, yoghurt maker and more would be available in a limited edition copper hue for Black Friday season only while stocks last.

Shoppers flooded the site when Ninja sent out the email announcement, crashing it for several hours as people tried to get the copper cooker and matching grill and other items. The other premium brand with devoted fans is the Instant Pot. Part pressure cooker, steamer, roaster, baking oven and more, the Instant Pot is the subject of entire Facebook and TikTok communities of home cooks happy to showcase the meals they're able to make in the versatile gadget.

While not all Instant Pots are also air fryers - and it's important to check if that's the functionality you need - John Lewis has reduced the 8L Instant Pot Duo Crisp and Air Fryer by £40 to £159.99. It also comes with a two-year guarantee, perfect if you think you're likely to be putting it through its paces having ditched the oven.

If you have your eye on the Ninja Foodi but don't want to stretch to the budget, then The CleverChef 14-in-1 5L Digital Multi Cooker, which is currently available from Argos for £60 is a solid dupe option.

It is rated five out of five stars from 317 reviews and can be used not just as an air fryer but, thanks to 17 pre-set cooking functions, to make bread, soup, rice cooker and even as a yoghurt maker, more than earning its spot on the kitchen counter top. What's more, it uses 62% less energy than a standard 2100W oven, helping to keep cooking costs low.

The CleverChef is just one of a selection of reasonably priced air fryers already available at Argos in time for Black Friday. If you're looking for a more compact, smaller capacity option then the £45 Tower T17023 Compact Air Fryer is a popular choice, with 4.6 out of 5 stars from more than 2,000 shoppers and 92% saying they would recommend buying the 1000W product to a friend.

One happy customer said: "Didn't really know anything about air fryers so was a bit dubious about buying one but so glad I did. We haven't used our conventional oven for weeks now. At first I thought the drawer looked a bit too small but now having used it for a few weeks it is ideal for two people. It's so easy too use and clean. Got it for a great price."

Air fryers also feature prominently in Currys' Black Friday sale this year, with the electrical retailer offering deals on premium and budget brands alike. Industry leader Tefal's Easy Fry Compact Air Fryer has been reduced by £30 to £59.99.

Small enough to be easily tucked away neatly in a cupboard this 1300W gadget has a capacity of 0.6Kg of food. It also has dishwasher safe parts which isn't always the case with air fryers and is a real perk, as anyone who's ever had to wash one up will know.

Black Friday this year falls on November 25 but the deals launched so far make it clear that shoppers keen to snap a bargain should be keeping an eye out now. Whether you're looking for big savings on a pricey premium product, like this £100 off the Tefal Actifry Genius XL, or want to pick up something cheaper to see if air frying is for you like this half price halogen oven and air fryer at Robert Dyas for £45, there's already plenty of options this Black Friday if you want to start saving and cooking sooner.
