B&M Shopper Discovers Incredible Energy-Saving Air Fryer Deal
In a thrilling find for budget-conscious shoppers, an air fryer has been spotted at a major supermarket for the unbeatable price of just £13.75. This discovery was shared by a savvy bargain hunter on Facebook, showcasing the Salter 3.7L air fryer on the shelves of Asda, where it was labeled as a “special price.”
This remarkable deal stands in stark contrast to the similar Ninja model, which retails for £78, meaning buyers could save approximately £64 by opting for the Salter air fryer available at Asda.
Members of the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group expressed their astonishment at this incredible bargain. Comments included, “No way is it that price,” and “Brilliant price.” Many users tagged their friends, urging them to check their local stores for this fantastic offer. One shopper even mentioned that they had previously purchased the same air fryer from Aldi and found it “as powerful as Ninja.”
However, some users cautioned that the air fryer’s drawers might not be particularly spacious, indicating it could be more suitable for smaller families. Typically, air fryers of similar size are advertised as ideal for two to three people.
Currently, the Salter air fryer does not seem to be listed on Asda’s website, so customers are encouraged to visit their nearest store to explore this deal. You can locate your closest Asda store here.
While it’s uncertain if this offer is available nationwide, it is advisable to shop around to ensure you’re getting the best deal, as this appears to be the lowest price for an air fryer of this size currently available on the market.
For comparison, Salter’s 2L Compact Air Fryer is priced at £34.99 on its official website, and the 3.2L Personal Hot Air Fryer comes in at £41.99. In contrast, the Ninja version, which has a slightly larger capacity of 3.8L, is currently being offered at £78, down from its original price of £99.99. The Ninja air fryer boasts four cooking functions: Air Fry, Roast, Dehydrate, and Reheat, and its basket can accommodate a 1.35kg chicken or 900g of French fries. It has received overwhelmingly positive reviews, with one user stating, “It’s amazing, wish I had got one sooner. Very easy to use, delighted with it, saves using my big oven.” Another reviewer noted, “Crispy chips and chicken, such a worthy investment, would always recommend to any family and friends, saved on gas as well.”
Alternative Air Fryers and Their Prices
If you cannot find the Asda deal in your area, there are other comparable air fryers available at various retailers. The Dunelm Manual 4 Litre Air Fryer, which offers a slightly larger capacity, is priced at £30. It has received an impressive 4.7 stars out of 5, with shoppers praising it as a “must-have.” One reviewer remarked, “Amazing value, very simple to use, cooks brilliantly, a great energy saver and compact.”
Another option is the Russell Hobbs Satisfry Air Fryer 4.3L, which is priced at £54.99, reduced from an RRP of £94.99, providing a significant saving.

One satisfied customer shared, “I’ve tried a couple of different brands of air fryers, and this one is probably one of my favorites.” Another added, “This air fryer is amazing! The capacity is great, and I’ve cooked some very nice meals in it!”
The Rising Popularity of Air Fryers
Air fryers have solidified their status as the most sought-after kitchen gadget in the UK over the past year. According to annual sales figures from Lakeland, air fryer sales surged by an astonishing 1,175% compared to the previous year, when they were already gaining traction. This trend is largely driven by households looking for energy-efficient cooking solutions as they aim to reduce their reliance on conventional ovens. Lakeland noted, “In past years, their popularity could be attributed to consumers seeking healthier cooking options and quick cooking times. However, with the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, air fryers have regained popularity as an efficient alternative to oven cooking.” Notably, the only other products that have “shaped the year” are heated airers, which saw a sales increase of 51%, along with heated textiles like heated throws and ponchos, as consumers sought alternatives to expensive dryers and heating systems.
