    That does look like an excellent value air fryer. Mines still going strong years later but I’m tempted to buy and hold this at that price.

  • This or Kmart one?

    • +1

      We just got the Kmart one with the window. Was $89… I'd save the $30. An air fryer is an air fryer they all do the same.

      • +2

        Size matters.

      • Why this is downvoted? You comment makes sense, saying get the Aldi one to save $30 🤷‍♀️

      • +3

        Differences:

        • Temperature: Max ranges are 200-240c, Min ranges from 40-80c
        • Materials: Non-stick, ceramic, glass and stainless
        • Size: Anything from 3L to 10L+
        • Buttons: Touch, physical or dials

        These things do matter to me, may not to you

        Healthy Choice 6.5L is my next choice

        Positive

        • Goes as low as 40c, which is good for low and slow of steak, then sear them later, or defrost later
        • Glass. I'm ditching as many non-stick products as possible
        • 6.5L seems like a good balance of size for family of 4

        Negative

        • Maximum of 200 is disappointing, I'd like to go 220-230 for pork belly crackle
        • Heavy
        • Touch buttons
        • I would double check your temperatures there bud because you're going to kill someone with your cooking even for reverse searing you're still cooking above 100 degrees Celsius so any air fryer can do it.

          You want an internal temperature of around 40c to 46c before searing.

          I'm only saying this because last Wednesday I was actually in hospital with food poisoning after attending a dinner I have not been that sick for years and years and years on end it took eight vials to stop me from vomiting bile.

          • @[Deactivated]: I'm not sure what I said that was controversial and needs double checking?

            I just appreciate it can go as low as 40 but that doesn't mean I'm going to cook chicken at that temperature

            Our current one has 70c as a minimum, so if I wanted to do steak, it's going to come out welldone unless I'm constantly checking the temperature

            Some leaner steaks I'll aim for medium rare about 50. While fattier ones I like going medium so 55 or so. Both require going below my 70c limit.

            • @abowen: When you're reverse searing a steak, for a rare, you're targeting an internal temp of 40c but that doesn't mean setting your oven/air fryer temp to 40c…

              • @lolcoaster: Sure. My point is it CAN go to 40 but you don't have to. Unlike mine, which is 70

        • Which air fyers do 240c?

    • +1

      Bought the Kmart one before seeing this. The window at the front on the new Kmart one is quite handy as you can see how the food is cooking. It uses a halogen light tub as heating element, so you can actually see the food.

      The kmart one has non stick coating but we also bought silicone airfryer tray from Kmart, which makes clean even more effortless.

    Does this have non-stick coating and therefore forever chemicals (PFAs?)

    Air Fryer, you either buy a decent one or don't buy it.

    Invest more money to get an air fryer 3-in-1: Air fryer, grill and steam.
    I bought a Tefal ( French brand IIRC ) and they do sell parts so you don't waste money because one part broke.

    Being able to grill, air fryer and steam veggies keeping all the vitamins is a must.
    Harvey Norman is selling a Tefal Air fryer + grill only ( clearance ) for $149: https://www.harveynorman.com.au/tefal-easy-fry-grill-precisi…

    I am using my 3-in-1 a lot, 2-in-1 is the minimum you should get, Air fryer alone is mehh and you cannot cook everything.

    • +4

      You can cook everything, they'll just be air fried

    • +11

      Or you buy a cheap air fryer and steam stuff in a pot on the stove at the same time

      Rocket science

    • -1

      Price has nothing to do with how well an air fryer works.

      You need a big fan, and the food needs to be close to the fan. Anything else is just to add cost for no reason.

      Hey.. how about you don’t tell me what to buy and what not to buy mate?

        What about if what I said doesn't matter to you, keep scrolling…………oh wait, it does matter because otherwise, you wouldn't have replied :)
        Go figure….

    Are these just a smaller oven?

    Why not use your oven vs having this appliance?

  • Big airfryer for the win! It just makes cooking for the family way easier and faster

  • Downgrade from their older models which were larger.

    I wish aldi included measurements for their kitchen products. I want to know if it will fit on the shelves in our pantry

    I love air fryers. I have been using one for 8-9 years. I had a first little Kogan one and upgraded to a 12l one still from Kogan and working well after 4 years. The front panel came a bit off but I put it back with superglue. If you have the space I’d recommend something a bit bigger for example this https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-18l-xxxl-digital-air-frye…

    I've got one of the original philips air fryers. It's been an absolute workhorse for years now. Only issue is it's a bit too small. I've been waiting for it to die for ages now so I can upgrade to a larger one.
    We were given some cheapie by a family member and all air fryers are definitely not created equally.
    Even after setting both to 200 and giving them ample time to preheat (even though the philips doesn't really need it), the philips cooks way faster and better.
    So I'm a little bit apprehensive about buying a cheap air fryer. Just my experience.

    • Agreed.

      I’ve compared cooking times between a cheapo air fryer and the original Phillips and the Phillips definitely cooks faster, probably due to their patented turbo vortex base design which seems to circulate airflow more efficiently back up under the food. I often don’t need to flip my food half way through the cooking time because of his, and I have to reduce the cooking times when following air fryer recipes as those recipes are for standard flat base designs which cook slower in my experience.

      My old Phillips is still working after almost daily use over 6+ years so I’ve got good longevity out of it. They have a new version with the glass window which I’m keen on getting next as my current one has finally developed a crack in the ball bearing track so the tray doesn’t glide as smoothly anymore.

      Not all air fryers are equal.

    This is the OG 'air fryer', air fryers are just mini convection ovens anyway, I find a lot of people don't realise this and think air fryers are a new product when its more a marketing fad. I still think this is the best option, unless you really want to get an air fryer that has a smaller volume but I think at that point the differences are negligible, most people tend to go for the larger ones anyway. With the riser extension on you can still have a decent finish on the meat whilst not over doing the vegetables, so it has more flexibility. Its also even easier to keep clean and you can clean under the lid much more easily too.

    Although it doesn't have digital controls its very simple and they usually last over a decade, they have been around for a long time.

    • Well said!!
