Officially dropping online on Sunday morning, the budget-friendly air fryer proved to be such a massive hit that thousands of shoppers flocked to the website and found themselves placed in a virtual queue.

After many of them patiently waited in the queue for the whole morning, many were left disheartened after it completely sold out online within less than 24 hours of going available.

Many flocked to Twitter to express their disappointment, with some even saying that the supermarket's website had actually crashed due to high demand for the air fryer.

However, it is not all bad news, as the Ambiano Dual Basket Air Fryer is set to be available to buy in-stores as part of the Specialbuys range this Sunday, November 13.
