Argos restocks Ninja air fryer 'dupe' that's £100 cheaper as shoppers 'use it every day'

Argos has brought back one of its bestselling energy-saving air fryers that is over £100 cheaper than a similar model sold from Ninja.

Air fryers have become the ideal kitchen appliance for many households, mainly due to the fact that they use significantly less energy than the conventional oven. With money still a concern, it is understandable why so many are still looking to snap one up.

Of course, Ninja's dual basket model's are one of the most popular choices, but they are rather pricey. Luckily, Argos has restocked the 9L Tower Dual Basket Vortx Air Fryer online, which is virtually identical - just without the price tag to match.

Priced at £134, the retailer's air fryer, while maybe not the cheapest model on the market, is significantly cheaper than the Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Air Fryer that would cost you £249.99. It means that the retailer's 'dupe' is saving you £115.99.

The Tower 9L air fryer is almost the same size as the pricer brand's model, which has a 9.5L cooking capacity. Both air fryers also feature dual cooking baskets that allow you to cook two different foods at the same time, making mealtimes in the home that bit easier.

Argos' dual basket air fryer also comes complete with a removable bowl, a digital timer, 12 pre-set programmes, a reheat function, a cool zone and a nifty safety cut out function.

There is also a three-year manufacturer's guarantee for shoppers when they register online, meaning you can rest easy knowing that your air fryer will be covered during that time.

The 9L Tower Dual Basket Vortx Air Fryer has nearly 300 five-star reviews and a 97 percent recommendation rate from shoppers who have hailed its bargain price and versatility.

One glowing review read: "I bought this a few weeks ago and we’ve used it everyday- saving time and money and it cooks beautifully. It is so easy to use … money well spent !!"

A second five-star reviewer wrote: "I finally managed to purchase this air fryer about a month ago. Our oven has not been in since. Excellent product that is easy to use and the price was cheaper than from other retailers and tower directly. Highly recommend."

A third eager shopper said: "Been after a dual basket Airfryer for 3 months always out of stock finally got this one great size for large families lots of preset programmes chips come out crispy, cooks food fast and looks nice on my worktop and £100 cheaper than ninja it’s a bargain."

A fourth said of the air fryer: "I bought this a week ago and have used it every day since. It has a massive capacity for the price compared to other air fryers for the same price."

And a fifth added: "Great air fryer, 9L bought to avoid cooking in the oven as it takes a long time, with the air fryer anything simple from nuggets to chips can be cooked within 15-16 mins. very handy & easy to clean..definitely saving on some energy, would defo recommend for the price."
