For many shoppers Ninja gadgets are considered to be the Rolls Royce of kitchen equipment and a new deal means they can get a hefty chunk off the price of the latest one for a limited time.
The Ninja Speedi 10-in-1 Rapid Cooker was so popular when it launched earlier in the year that it crashed Ninja's website before selling out immediately.
It is back in stock now and has been reduced by a number of retailers to £199 - including Amazon, Lakeland, John Lewis and Ninja's own website. Meanwhile Argos is selling it for £200.

The multi-function cooker does everything the brand's other popular air fryer and grill models can, acting as a steamer, grill, air fryer, roaster, dehydrator, saute pan and slow cooker. But alongside that it brings one ground-breaking new feature.
The Mirror's Narin Flanders used the gadget to make family meals for a week and gave the Speedi a five star rating, describing its fast-cook mode as a 'game changer' for midweek meals.
The busy mum-of-two whipped up a range of different fresh, home cooked meals for a family of four of the kind she normally only has time to make at the weekend in as little as 15 minutes.
She said: I've found this the least intimidating and most versatile kitchen gadget I've ever owned - and you don't have to be a Masterchef to get great results with it.
"The Speedi is basically the kitchen gadget for people who don't have the time or inclination to regularly use kitchen gadgets."
She's not alone. Since it launched in late January, fans have taken to social media to share their best recipes and hacks for using the new product on Facebook groups, Tiktok, Instagram and more.
Meanwhile a UK-specific cookbook showcasing Speedi versions of family favourites like fish pie, cakes and toad in the hole has flown up the British Amazon charts.
Amazon shoppers currently rank the Speedi at 4.6 out of 5 stars from 90 reviews, while 149 reviews on the Ninja website give it an average rating of 4.8 stars.
One Amazon reviewer said they had not used their cooker since buying the product, adding: "This is the best money I have ever spent on a kitchen gadget and I have many! This one is a real game changer though."
Another, particularly praising the fast cook mode, added: "This is a real game changer! It's for those nights (and we have many), when we come in from work, exhausted and hangry. You chuck some food in, follow the instructions and, in 10 minutes, a plate of delicious food is served. You can also prepare recipes and more complex meals but to be honest, with good flavourings, this makes any meal a treat."
Not all the reviews were positive though, with a one-star reviewer saying: "The whole machine looks and feels poorly made. Shame as the concept is good but needs to be more robust and better made. So not worth the money. There's other better Ninja machines on the market don't waste your money on this one."
Ninja has since gone on to launch a world-first outdoor airfryer, smoker and BBQ aimed at cooks wanting to dine al fresco in the summer months.
