Always wanted an air fryer but couldn't justify $300+ for a Philips.
Surprisingly, this gets pretty good reviews, same model just different colour.
Worth a try for $70, and you can always take it back for a refund if you aren't happy.
I love thrifty German supermarketeers.
I try to stick to comments and jokes.
Yeah.. I always find you in comments and enjoyed all your jokes.
Have you been there Australia's Got Talent ?
You really are an Askhole.
I came here just for your jokes and comments!

When are you going to post a funny comment?
When the mods aren't online.
@Scab: I just reported you to the mods so they'll be online any moment now, by my calculations. Await the wrath and fury that's about to ensue.
So when this gets recalled like a lot of ALDI products we can laugh?
Maybe too busy tearing off aldi shopping bag to get a refund
Must say, @Being Askhole, @Scab, @Tight Arse are the lifeline of this community. Keep it coming!
@jv didn't make the cut?
You did realise that they are all the same person, didn't you?
Didn't notice that you post deals too
Savage.
mmmm, tempting to get this
Will it make my fries crispier than my oven?
I find that food in the Air Fryer is crispier and less dry compared to that in a fan forced oven
Can I use it to cook meats? Like Roast pork?
You could, but it wouldn’t be kosher 😁
You could but you won't once you realise you would have to clean it after every use - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPa-5zrThmI
I cook crispy pork belly in my Philips air fryer. I wish I had the XL though.
Air Frying is basically a turbo charged fan forced oven. The hot air rushing over the chips makes them cook in a fashion that is closer to frying than a traditional oven.
You'd save money too and have less fights with house mates when they use the oven twice a day…
Damn, ran out of +, here have a comment
@WhyAmICommenting: You must be using Ozbargain too much, please log off & don't come back for 24hrs.
@WatchNerd: i bet that would make you feel so restless for not being able to check Ozbargain for so long! :)
I've tried the cheap kmart deep fryers. Which are rated better than the cheap aldi dp. Still pretty shit as they soak up too much oil and unevenly cook which I think is due to temperature fluctuation even though I small batch. PiTA to use as well were as an air fryer is probably much easier without the oil bath to worry about.

Depends how crispy your oven is.
AlDI is the GOAT
It depends on your definition of “GOAT”. You just might be shouting about how crap they are.
I think he means they are BLEH!
Anyone can comment on what Air fried Sweet potato chips taste like?
Assuming theyre like 3x healthier than fried.
if buying the frozen ones, they are actually a bit hard to get right. sweet potatoe chips often come out still too soggy or too cooked whereas pototoe chips generally always come out right… so yeah a bit harder to get right.
if you're cooking from fresh, they come out a bit dry imho.
One pototoe
Two pototoe
Three pototoe
Four
I microwave my chips first and then oven bake them to get a better result.
Depends on brand of sweet potato chip. I've tried McCains and also Bells and my preference is Bells as they have a better crunch. Key is to cook them a bit longer for more crunch and remove as soon as they're finished cooking.
Sweet potatoes, now also available as actual vegetables.
The key is to double fry them for that extra crispiness
This one time Scab punched me in the face. It was awesome.
This one time.
At band camp.
Scab punched me.
In the face.
It was awesome.
FTFY
How different is this really when compared to a good fan forced oven for crispy foods?
Oven requires preheating and therefore takes much longer, not to mention oven will heat up your kitchen (annoying on a hot day). Using Philips airfryer I can cook frozen chips perfectly in around 15 minutes, depending on amount of chips.
I wonder how does this compare with Kmart air fryer
https://www.kmart.com.au/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDi…
My thoughts exactly. The Kmart one is very well reviewed
I can vouch for the Kmart one. It is very good.
What warranty does the Kmart one have?
Aldi fryer has 3 years
But Kmart you can likely get a replacement unit immediately whereas Aldi you'd have to wait since it's not regularly stocked?
Seconded.
Bought the Kmart air fryer last month. Gets used quite frequently and works really well (wife approved).
Wow this kmart one is well reviewed and Retail $70! Why did i spend $100 on a tefal?!
Oh well. Now I know what to get for gifts!
Another up vote for the Kmart air fryer. Was hard to find in stock, but once I got it I love it. It takes some practice to get evenly cooked food (toss every 3 minutes), and the fries are quite different tasting to deep fried ones but we love them now. I add a tablespoon of oil to a fullish basket to get that light oil taste, and a little chicken salt goes well with them too.
When is this day Staturday which you refer to?
Staturday is before Stunday.
I'm usually Stunned on Stunday, after a few too many drinks on Staggerday night.
What are the main differences between this and a $300+ model?
This one is cheaper.
Price
What are the main differences between this and a $300+ model?
$230.01
Needs citation by MathNerd.
Verified.
The brand name, that’s it.
Or do what i do, a true OZB leader!
Wait 2/3 weeks and buy it for $49 when aldi start dumping unsold goods
Buy today, buy again in the future cheaper, take back with 1st purchase docket, pocket the difference
You should be promoted to power user, wouldn't surprise me if the mods were talking about you right now.
what are the perks of being a power user?
Live chat with Scotty.
@Yummy: Lolz, went to one a few decades ago, got kicked out because all 6 of us were trying to fit in the one booth.
Not such a great idea being sexually aroused in a confined area with close friends.
They can edit and expire deals
Don’t forget there is a 3 year warranty which makes it extremely good value.
And Aldi 60 day return option if you feel it’s not up to scratch. In 15 years of buying products from Aldi I only ever returned one, a leaky gas soldering iron.
How do people go about claiming Aldi warranties (besides 60 day satisfaction)? Can you just go to the store and get a refund?
Does anyone know whether the espresso machine is any good?
Try it and let us know, you can always take it back for a refund.
We bought one to use on a site, gets hammered and still going 18 months later. Milk frother started to leak, replaced by Aldi no problem.
Cheers!
How did they replace it, at store level?
As they don't normally keep stock of Special Buys.
I think they keep the espresso machines and milk frothers in stock to support their pod sales.
The coffee is rubbish
How do these compare to flavor wave style convection ovens?
How much food can you fry in one go? e.g. 1/3 a bag of 1kg frozen chips or 4 chicken tenders?
The 3L does a 1KG bag no worries. Take about 20 mins and give the basket a shake say 5, 10 and 15 minutes. I'll be buying another of these this weekend.
is it easy to clean?
Would like to know this aswell. Apparently some are a PITA to clean.
Does this compare to the Phillips XXL for basket size.
Phillips define theirs as 1.4kg whereas Aldi lists theirs as 3 litres.
Edit: Someone already answered above. About 1kg for Aldi fryer.
There will probably be only 1-2 units available in store on that day… which will probably be sold out before the store even opens lol
Guess it depends on the store, my one has heaps of items when I get there about ten o'clock.
Never missed out on a special buy because of stock.
It's standard procedure that you will need to get into a brawl with a granny to claim your fryer
Nice deal Mr. Scab
Didn't notice that you post deals too :D
