If you've been on social media over the last year or two, you will be aware that air fryers have taken the internet by storm with many people rushing to buy them - especially during lockdown.
And although we are no longer in lockdown, the demand for air fryers is still soaring with people looking for deals where they can find them.
But with the cooking equipment still as popular as ever, an urgent warning has been issued to those looking to make a purchase especially with the cost of living soaring with air fryers being used in place of ovens to use less as well as cooking your food quicker.

Because of this, one popular brand, Ninja, have asked customers to be careful where they buy their products from. It comes as fraudulent websites are preying on those trying to get their hands on one with some websites offering major price cuts to lure them in.
As reported by Birmingham Live, some websites are offering expensive air fryers for almost 70 per cent off. One website appears to show the Ninja Max Foodi which normally retails for £249 for just £79.
Shoppers have been flocking to social media groups to warn others of the scams. One shopper asked others in Reduce Your Supermarket Spend Facebook group if one of the fraudulent websites was real with many claiming it was a "scam". Other websites have also been flagged by shoppers which have appeared claiming to be "outlet" websites and "official" Ninja websites.
People warned the unsuspecting shopper about the possible scam. One person said: "Be very careful. I bought one from a scam website. Going to have to try and sort with my bank." Another person added: "To good to be true at that price".
A spokesperson for Ninja said: “Following an unprecedented surge in demand for Ninja products, particularly our Air Fryers, we have become aware of a rise in fraudulent websites appearing to offer our products at greatly reduced prices.
“We would recommend any new or existing customers only purchase goods through the official Ninja website (ninjakitchen.co.uk) or via a reputable retail partner to ensure you receive our 5 star rated products as ordered.”
