The gadget features a non-stick grill and a crisper plate, enabling shoppers to cook food that’s crispy on the outside without the need for additional oil.
It also uses a 360-degree hot air circulation, giving customers a healthier option as they consume less oil.
Using hot air to heat food allows the air fryer to consume significantly less energy than a traditional oven, the description added.
The Masterchef Digital Air Fryer 4.5L is equipped with a digital touch panel, allowing users to switch between presets and set timers easily.
Similar gadgets can be found at other stores, with Tesco offering the same air fryer for £39.99 — £10 more than the price at The Original Factory Shop.
Amazon is also selling the gadget, but shoppers would have to pay a steep £73.37, about £43 more than the price at the discount chain.
Unfortunately, The Original Factory Shop's Masterchef Digital Air Fryer 4.5L is sold out online but may still be available in stores.
We recommend customers call their local branch to check whether they still have them in stock before making a journey there.
