Perfect for families and simple cooking, the kitchen gadget is just £59.99.
It features a large drawer, which can be divided into two separate chambers - making cooking multiple things a doddle.
It also has a 24h digital timer and offers temperatures of 40C to 200C.
If you're worried a cheaper frier might not last as long as one of the well known brands like Ninja - don't stress as it comes with three years' warranty.

Aldi is also selling Crofton Air Fryer Accessories for just £3.49 each.
Customers can choose from silicone air fryer basket liners, separators, potholders, tongs and more.
It's no secret that energy bills have been burning a hole in the pockets of millions across the UK.
The humble air fryer isn't just loved for its speed and convinence, experts also say it can trim a noticable chunk off your electricity bill.

Unlike traditional ovens, which can take up to 10 minutes to preheat and often stay on for upwards of an hour, air fryers heat up in seconds and cook meals far more quickly.
Independent energy tests have shown that air fryers use significantly less electricity – in some cases, up to 50 percent less – depending on the size of the appliance and the type of food being cooked.
Modern air fryers can handle everything from roast chicken to baked potatoes – and they do it with less energy, less time, and often less fuss.
Aldi's Ambiano Duel Zone Air Fryer is far friendlier on your budget as it's just a fraction of the price of leading brand air fryers.

Ninja Foodi Dual Zone is £199 in John Lewis, and the Philips FlexDrawer is around £159.

New stock lands in Aldi's middle aisle, or Specialbuys section, twice a week (Thursdays and Sundays), and once it's gone, it's gone.
The savviest shoppers know to check the Aldi website ahead of time, where you can preview what's coming up – and even snap up some bargains early online.

Get there early in store, because the best bits go fast, especially when it's BBQ season or the annual ski gear drop.
As well as kitchen toys, the retailer is currently flogging copycat products of high-end makeup and skincare brands Charlotte Tilbury and Elemis.
One of those is Lacura Marine Facial oil - a dupe of Elemis' pro-collagen marine oil, which is currently on sale on its website for a whopping £72.
The luxury oil aims to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with marine ingredients.

And Aldi's version aims to do the same by using algae extract and golden seaweed.
It's not the only dupe from the line. The supermarket is also launching a marine mask, £6.99, and a marine moisturising essence, which are again very similar to pricier Elemis products.

UK pub drinkers issued warning over 'drastic change' that is coming in 2030
A study has claimed the price of a British pint will reach a eye-watering and staggering figure by 2030 due to soaring inflation. All pub drinkers have been warned A stark warning has been issued to all UK pub -goers about a drastic change expected by 2030. A study suggests that the cost of a pint in Britain could reach a staggering figure due to skyrocketing inflation. This year, summer in London has seen lots of sunshine and warm temperatures. To cool off from the hot weather, many of us have been guilty of spending an afternoon at the pub with our friends for a pint of beer. However, from spending a little over two pounds for a cold glass of drought beer, prices seemed to have gone out of hand. The report currently places the average price of a standard pint at £5.17, and £6.10 in London. It forecasts that this could rise to an astonishing £8 nationwide by 2030, and even hit £11 in cities. However, the study warns: "Touristy zones and stadiums could even see £12 to £13 pints becoming the norm." In other news, a writer claimed 'I tried butter from Tesco, Aldi, Lidl and big brands - and the winner is not Lurpak'. The research conducted by online review site PlayCasino predicts that the price of Peroni could jump from an average of £6.83 to £11.33, and San Miguel from £6.36 to £10.55, reports Birmingham Live. The report also states: "With the end of pandemic support many pubs are still catching up financially." One publican who responded to the researchers remarked: "Our energy bills have tripled, stock costs are up and we're still recovering from the pandemic. Prices are rising because they have to - or we don't survive." According to a study by Frontier Economics commissioned by the British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA), the average price of a pint of beer is set to reach £5.01 in April, a 21p increase. One pub patron told the Guardian newspaper earlier this year: "I think, this summer, it will get to the point where on a nice sunny day people will just sit in the garden because they can't afford to go to the pub. Without a doubt, I can feel the cost of living crisis. You go to supermarkets and you just see everything going up." "It is what it is. We go somewhere where it's cheap," stated Gary Swain, enjoying a Bud Light priced at £1.89. "It's a nice pint. You get used to what you get used to. "[The breweries] have all put their prices up now," Lisa Choppen, a pub manager, commented. She expressed that customers often fail to realise that pubs and bars have already made as many cutbacks as possible.

Cheapest UK supermarket: Lidl beats Aldi, Tesco and Asda
Which? found that Lidl had beaten Aldi for the first time since October 2023. The products included Hovis sliced bread, milk and cheese, and the consumer experts checked prices at eight of the UK's biggest supermarkets throughout July. Supermarket average price for 76 items Lidl Plus £128 Lidl £128.40 Aldi £129.25 Asda £139.53 Tesco (with Clubcard)£141.92 Sainsbury's (with Nectar) £144.21 Tesco £145.10 According to the Which? report, Lidl was the cheapest overall, beating rival discounter Aldi by £1.25 if you had a Lidl Plus card, or 85p if not. The third cheapest was Asda, which doesn't offer loyalty pricing in the same way as the others. Tesco without a loyalty card was still cheaper than shopping at Morrisons with one. What about loyalty card promotions? Sainsbury's was running Nectar price promotions on 15 items, while Tesco had Clubcard prices on 16. Meanwhile, Morrisons had two More scheme discounts on items in our basket, and Lidl had three items on our list with a loyalty discount. Waitrose had no loyalty deals on the shopping list items. It was the most expensive supermarket again this month, averaging £170.91 – that's over £42 (or 33%) more than Lidl. Why are food prices going up so much? UK inflation rose to a near 18-month high this summer as food prices shot up for the third month running. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said Consumer Prices Index inflation rose to 3.6% in June, up from 3.4% in May and the highest since January 2024. The increase was unexpected, with most economists forecasting inflation to remain unchanged at 3.4%. Chancellor Rachel Reeves says there's 'more to do' to help bring inflation down. She said: 'I know working people are still struggling with the cost of living.' 'There is more to do and I'm determined we deliver on our Plan for Change to put more money into people's pockets,' she added. Rob Mansfield, Independent Financial Advisor at Rootes Wealth Management, says: 'The cost of living crisis continues to bite. The rise in motor fuels was expected given the war in the Middle East and it shows how vulnerable our island is to events all over the globe. "Most people can't avoid these price rises, so they ask for higher wages, which can in turn drive up prices.' The figures come after gross domestic product (GDP) shrank by 0.1% in May, following a 0.3% fall in April and leading to fears of a contraction overall in the third quarter. Recommended reading: Borrowing costs are set to ease further as the Bank of England contends with stagnant growth and rising unemployment, experts have predicted. Most economists think the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) will cut interest rates by 0.25 percentage points to 4% on Thursday. Interest rates have been steadily cut over the past year from a peak of 5.25%.

This is now UK's cheapest supermarket
Lidl has surpassed Aldi to become the UK 's cheapest supermarket for the first time in nearly two years, according to a July price analysis by consumer group Which?. The analysis of 76 grocery products revealed Lidl's average basket cost £128 with a loyalty card, marginally less than Aldi's £129.25. Both discount retailers were significantly more affordable than other supermarkets, with Tesco costing approximately £17 more and Waitrose, the most expensive, costing £40 more at £170.91. Which? noted that loyalty cards offer substantial savings, particularly at supermarkets such as Tesco and Sainsbury 's, while Morrisons did not outperform competitors on price. The ongoing price competition among supermarkets is driven by high food inflation and the cost of living crisis, leading many consumers to alter their shopping habits in search of better value.
