Shoppers took to the comments with many tagging their friends to share the bargain.
One said: “Bargain, we got our yesterday.”
While another said: “Genuinely the absolute best thing I’ve EVER bought.”
Of course, while the discount is great, it’s still quite a lot to spend on an air fryer.
If you’re wanting a better deal Robert Dyas is selling a dual basket air fryer for £99.99.
And Argos currently has one online for £110.
Of course, do shop around before you buy as you may be able to find something even cheaper.
Bear in mind that it’s only a steal if you were after an air fryer anyway.
Are air fryers really worth it?
Air fryers have surged in popularity since energy bills soared as they can be cheaper to use than a conventional oven.
That said, that’s not always the case, and it does depend on the model of air fryer.
In fact, money-saving expert Martin Lewis recently issued a warning that it’s not always cheaper to use the gadgets.
If you are weighing up whether to buy an air fryer, you can use a simple formula to figure out how much it costs.
Cost = power (in kWh) × time (in hours) × price of 1 kilowatt on your energy tariff.
So, if for example, you have an air fryer that consumes 2,000 watts, you are using it for one hour and the cost of electricity is priced at 34p per 1,000 watts, the formula would be:
2 x 1 x 34p = 68p
The six litre Studio air fryer has 1,800 watt power.
So the formula to work out how much that costs to use for an hour is:
1.8 x 1 x 34p = 61.2p
You can use the same formula with any appliance, so you can do this with your oven and work out the difference in price.
For example, a normal oven uses between 900 and 3,500 watts of power.
So if you bought one on the lower-end of the power scale, it would actually be cheaper to use that than the Studio fryer.
That said, sometimes it’s easier and more convenient to cook something quicker in the air fryer, and use less oil making them a healthier option.
