Beware! – Purchased May 2020. Used plenty of times previously with no issues. Tonight as per usual I was preheating and could smell something burning, pulled out the tray to find as per Pic 2 the element “fried”. I did use an Air Fryer Liner. Have used them before with no issue. Have double checked the safety instructions in the instruction manual and there… Read more
is no mention of not using them. I clean the unit after each use. Air Fryer now unplugged. Will report to relevant authorities.
Standing here counting my lucky stars….
Why the temperature change? – The temperature has suddenly changed from Celsius to Fahrenheit and I have no idea how to change it back. This machine is good for one person only. Really small. Show details
Electrical fire – I was cooking 2 boneless chicken thighs and had turned them once after 9 minutes when smoke suddenly was pouring out of the top of the air fryer. Then there was a loud bang, flames shot out the back and even after quickly turning off the power there was no stopping the flames. Luckily I had a small fire extinguisher which doused the flames but… Read more
being in a unit we had 2 fire engines attend and a unit block full of toxic smoke. The bottom and back of the air fryer was melted onto my induction cooktop and plastic was splatted up the tiled splash-back. I recommend caution if you have one of these air fryers.
Hi Ibosch, We're sorry to hear about your experience. For… Read more
A wonderful cooker for grandparents – A lady in Aldis encouraged us to purchase an air fryer, she said she loved hers, so we bought it. My husband and I are getting tired of cooking but the air fryer made it so easy. Now when my little grandkids come over I can cook sausage or chicken nuggets in 15 minutes with no bother or splashing. Easy to clean too. We tried scones and they were delicious. Show details
Fantastic – Absolutely brilliant I got it on special pay rise for $19 I think and I couldn’t be happier it works so well it’s very easy to clean I just popped the basket in the dishwasher Show details
SMELLS OF PLASTIC – I have washed/cleaned this air fryer but cannot get rid of the horrible plastic smell. I am asthmatic and just cannot live with this item. I do not recommend this item. Show details
Great quality at a reasonable price – This airfryer is the perfect size for 1-2 people. I'm new to air frying and purchased this on a whim in March 2021 and have been using this several times a week! It's easy to clean and great for cooking but also to reheat smaller portions of food that otherwise would've ended up in my oven. It's much faster than a conventional oven for reheating… Read more
especially since there's no need to preheat. Everything comes out as crispy as I'd like (although still not as good as deep frying, but much healthier)
Contaminates your room with burnt toxic plastic fume – We bought it from ALDI. On first use, it left my whole apartment smelling like burnt plastic, very toxic. All rooms got contaminated. My family ended with headaches, dizziness and nausea just from the smell. We needed to open all windows to get rid of the plastic fume. We of course didn't even eat the food. We are concerned about getting long serious consequences after this. Show details
Ambiano XL Air Fryer – I'm not sure if I am reviewing the right air fryer but I bought an Ambiano XL Air Fryer from ALDI on 1/27/21. I am new to air frying so have no experience with other fryers. This one is nice. I like the way it cooks the food. My issue is that the display panel gives me such grief! I don't know how to get it to come on. I touch it all over, wipe my… Read more
hands and try touching it again. I've used a cloth, a paper towel, it just doesn't want to come on! It's maddening. The pic below was while it was cooking.
Good quality and compact – Was hesitated to buy at first, very happy I did. I can cook fast small meal for my kids . I cooked fish, chips, chicken nuggets and schnitzel all turned beautiful, crispy in few minutes. Show details
Why didn't I buy one sooner? – Love this little air fryer. It's been perfect for 2 people, it's a great size if you're using it regularly. A perfectly cooked bowl of chips for 2. Perfectly cooked stuffed apples - tested the time myself, probably a little overcooked, I didn't' use a recipe, I simply guessed. Fetta stuff chicken breast with rosemary was done in about 20 mins - perfectly tender and delicious Show details
This product is perfect for me – Since purchasing my air fryer I am so pleased with performances, have cooked chicken pieces, sausages, chips and veggies, so quick, crisp and so very easy to clean, very energy sufficient Show details
Bang-for-the-Buck Air Fryer – First-time having an air fryer, and this did not fail to impress! - Easy to learn touch-screen controls. Just hold the power button for more than a second. Can't find the button? Turn-on the machine via the power source (you should turn that off if not in use anyways). - Food I was able to cook so far: Beef rolls, Pork Belly, German Cheese… Read more
Kransky, Bread Toast w/ Butter & Cinamon - Easy to clean: Non-stick surface easy to wash - Aesthetics: Minimalist and looks like a robot from the movie Wall-E!

Terrible - keeps beeping won’t stay on – It won’t come on at all - only used it twice. Absolute wast of money. Will never buy any electrical goods from Aldi of course can’t find receipt arrrgh arrrrgh a Show details
Confusing disappearing ON button. Not that fast – Only had it for one day and although it seems to cook okay it is not very fast. Main problem though is on/off button is not lit or visible until it is pressed to turn it on and even then it is barely visible. There was a sticker with a picture of the on/off button over this light at first to mark its location but it peeled off so unless you know… Read more
where to press on the black control face you can't turn it on. Why can't the controls be visible when the power is connected?? 25 minutes to cook a small bowl of frozen chips. Maybe needs more power than 1000 watts?
Really great – I’ve been using this for some time and it works a treat. I wish I found this sooner, makes cooking a breeze. Highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good airfryer
