Lidl customers say bargain air fryer is the best money they've ever spent

Lidl customers have praised an air fryer on sale, with one even saying it is the best money they have ever spent.

The bargain giant sells the Tower 4L Air Fryer for the price of £29.99 — which is significantly cheaper than it is at other retailers.

In Argos, the appliance is being sold for £56, whilst Amazon shoppers will need to fork out £45 for it.

As reported by Edinburgh Live, many consumers are eager to pick up one of the air fryers after an Amazon glitch saw them retail for just £4 rather than the RRP of nearly £50.

Even though thousands of savvy customers paid for the appliance at the erroneous price, Amazon later refunded every purchase after noticing the mistake.

Now, shoppers want to purchase one for the lowest price possible — and Lidl may have answered their prayers.

Air fryers are popular amongst consumers due to the fact that a wide variety of foods can be cooked and baked in them with little to no oil needed — making them a potentially healthier alternative.

In addition, they are significantly easier to wash than traditional pots and pans — drastically cutting down on cleaning time.

The Argos description for the product states: "For a healthier alternative to conventional cooking, the large 4 litre Tower digital air fryer is the perfect kitchen companion.

"Crafted with innovative vortex technology, you only need a small amount of oil. Hot air then circulates evenly around the air fryer, ensuring your ingredients are cooked through with a crisp, golden finish.

"With 99% less fat than conventional cooking, use your Tower for frying, baking, grilling or roasting.

"Vortex technology ensures your ingredients are cooked to perfection, with 99% less fat.

"With clear digital controls, a built-in timer and removable, easy-clean parts, the Tower air fryer couldn't be more convenient."

Taking to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, one shopper shared the latest find with the groups near two million members.

They wrote: "Tower Vortex 4L air fryer in Lidl £29.99, on Amazon for £45+."

Replying to the post one said: "We bought this the last time they had it in and it's been a great little air fryer."

Another added: "Had one if these from Lidl.. love it.. use it nearly every day.. does great salt n pepper chicken."

A third said: "I got mine a couple weeks ago and its great. Best £30 I've spent."
