Aldi shoppers say £9.99 churro maker may be 'the best thing they've ever seen'

Aldi shoppers are loving the supermarket's current Specialbuy bargain, especially as its red version has just gone down in price to £9.99.

The product that has some shoppers drooling is a Churro Maker.

Comfort food, sweet treat... call them what you like but churros are a firm favourite, so imagine the joy of being able to rustle up a batch at home.

Originally priced at £14.99, the kitchen gadget comes in two colour choices - black or red - and the red version is now selling for 33% less.

Shoppers were keen to spread the news that the product was available to buy.

Tagging in a friend on Aldi's Specialbuy Instagram page, one person wrote: "You know my weaknesses."

While another wrote: "OMG we need [it] now."

Another was simply blown away by the thought of making churros at home, writing: "This may be the best thing I’ve ever seen."

The machine makes four churros at a time, has an automatic temperature control system, which Aldi says "creates the perfect environment for that crispy and fluffy texture", and has anti-stick coated plates.

Not everyone was impressed, though. One Instagram commenter said: "This looks cool but is no churro. Maybe a long waffle."

With another saying: "Week one - use nothing but churro maker. Week two - put churro maker back in cupboard and never use again."

Others disagreed, though.

Taking to the store's review section, one purchaser said: "Buy it now! - I have used it everyday since purchasing this magic box."

An online exclusive, the red version of the gadget is priced at £9.99 with the black version £14.99.
