Aldi’s bargain £40 air fryer is coming back – exact dates you can buy in store and online revealed

ALDI shoppers will be thrilled to know that its bargain air fryer is coming back.

The sell-out kitchen gadget always proves popular with shoppers whenever the discount store gets a restock.

The Ambiano fryer costs just £39.99 and will be available in stores from January 5.

It’s also available to pre-order online from January 3.

If you do decide to pre-order the fryer, bear in mind an extra charge for delivery.

Meanwhile, shoppers planning to head to their local store to get the fryer will want to check ahead to see if it’s in stock to avoid disappointment – and a wasted trip.

You can find your closest store on the Aldi website.

The bargain air fryer comes with a 4.5L capacity and a timer function so you know when your food will be cooked.

Aldi says the bargain gadget costs “a fraction of the running costs” compared to a conventional oven.

It also has an LED digital touch screen display to make it even easier to handle.

Aldi’s Specialbuys can typically sell-out fast, so you won’t want to hang about.

Recently, its Ambiano air fryer was so popular shoppers actually crashed the site as people rushed to buy.

Before you commit to a purchase though, you should have a shop around first.

Use price comparison tools like  to find similar products from other retailers and compare prices.

You might find there’s an even better offer out there.

This is the cheapest air fryer we found of its size online.

There are alternatives but for not as low a price.

For example we found B&M is selling a Blaupunkt 4.5L Rapid Air Fryer for £49 at the moment.

Currys is also selling a Salter 4.5L fryer for £65.99.

Do make sure to have a look around before you buy in case we missed a cheaper offer – there’s never a bad time to bag a bargain.

Air fryers have gained popularity over the last few months as under the current price cap using one for 15 minutes costs just 13p.

Aldi is also bringing back its halogen air fryer too, for just £29.99.

The supermarket says the fryer costs just 14p a day to run – making it slightly more energy efficient than the traditional air fryer.

It also features full thermostatic temperature controls and timer functions.

The fryer has a bigger capacity than the Ambiano fryer at 17L capacity, plus it had a self-cleaning function.

You also pick up the halogen fryer in store from January 5, as well as pre order online from the 3rd.
