ALDI Air Fryer

Reviewing the 6.5L model that is not listed yet. I advise dont buy. I buy from Aldi and the first meal went good, then next time it did not work properly and I smell it like burning plastic smell... you know, like when a circuit board seizes and then no lights at all. Take it back and Aldi honored a replacement or money back... of course I want… Read more

a replacement. Again the first meal goes well, and the second, and the third... now the drawer wont go in, so I fiddle and get it in, but lights not come on. I fiddle some more, and finally get drawer in and lights on and working fine for the minute. I must say it cooks well when working, but 2 out of 2 faulty units is not a good start. feels very flimsy compared to the old sunbeam one I had before it stopped after 4 years. Not impressed.

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….

Best Kitchen Appliance I've purchased in many years – Excellent Buy... My current oven was inadequate. Comparing Brands, capacity, wattage and excellent price at $89... Aldi's 5ltr Ambiano...suited my needs and budget very well... The 10 pre-programmed digital display options selector is initially hidden, but, lights up when choosing menu by pressing through options until your program is reached...… Read more

Roast Pork is ideally suited and Pork Crackle superb... with roast veges... the non stick surface and removable rack makes it super easy to clean... A slightly deeper cooking draw would be a great benefit to avoid unwrapping a stringed boneless roast... so much cheaper than a new oven...

Aldis 8 1/2 litre air fryer – The tray in the air fryer from Aldi’s Toukley is not cooking the food anything like the Phillips air fryers. The phone number in the back is were you ring for any warranty problems. And they are the rudest people on earth Linnet is abrupt and the so called manager hung up in my ear how rude especially when talking very pleasantly to her she hungs… Read more

up the phone. Don’t deal with the warranty phone number on the back of there air fryers as they are useless and rude so I’m taking this matter to fair trade. There was a part missing on the tray a rubber lug was not there & the tray is completely bent inside the fryer.

Since my divorce, this was my favorite kitchen appliance, for 6 months – Full disclosure, I am a trained technician I generally love Aldi stuff, have a coffee machine, washing machine, toaster, mower, utensils, pots, pans, towels, amazing what you need when the wife changes the locks, but my fave is the Albiano air fryer, given to me as a housewarming gift after my divorce in December 21. It was cool, but died after 8… Read more

months, there is a safety switch in the front of the base, activated by a thin fragile plastic finger in the base of the frying bowl. It wore out in 8 months. As it was a gift and had no receipt, Aldi would not repair, replace or refund the device, even as it was only 8 months old. Not like I could steal one, it is the size of a keg. Fortunately I was able come up with a repair fashioned from a piece of flexible plastic cut from the lid of a Pepsi bottle and screwed to the broken base of the fry bowl with a 3mm nut and screw. I hope that rather than planned obsolescence, this is just poor design. It also appears the handle on the bowl is also somewhat fragile. But otherwise, thermally and electrically, it Is a great appliance. I will try to attach a pic of the repair.

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

Functionality VS hyped Marketing, budget fryer wins – have been waiting for the past 3 years to buy an airfryer. our friends recommended the philips air fryer. i just couldnt justify the price tag, for what is in fact a portable convection oven which it really is. What did push me into getting this was the price tag, plus having recently installed solar at home, this would be the perfect load dump… Read more

when making free energy.

overall, quite happy with the product, great that ALDI went with an 8 L minimum sizing on this air fryer, anything smaller just wouldnt make sense in a 5 person house hold. Optimum frying, i did have to interrupt the process, to just toss the meat about, but i was surprised at how awesome the chicken fries ended up..

overall no regrets, Great price, Great value for money , a fraction of the cost of the big names in this space. and i get a 1 year warranty, Thanks ALDI for making this available to Aussie families, great work

i read a previous review about a fragile Handle, i do agree that , the handle could be a bit more sturdier, i do support the tray, when i remove it, just to ensure that the whole body has enough support and so that there aint too much strain on the handle mechanism, i am sure if the handle did break, ALDI would provide a refund, and then i would be without an Air fryer, which aint optimum.

perhaps being a bit more careful will give it the longevity that is expected on the hardware.

i just cant get over the space available, really awesome.

It's okay – It's alright. I've used the Kmart air fryer and have this one as well since I wanted a larger size. What sets this air fryer apart from competitors is the oven style design compared to basket designs but it comes with it's pros and cons. Pros: -You can see progress of the food through the window. Also has a light function. -Cool little knob which… Read more

you can turn to adjust time and temp. For some reason, when it reaches 200 degrees (max) a further turn to the right will go to 65 degrees (min). I don't really like the temp going back to the start. -Bunch of accessories like a basket, rotisserie and trays

Cons: -Harder to clean. Unlike basket designs where you can bring the whole basket and clean it, you have to get in the air fryer yourself to clean this oven. Having accessories also means you have to clean those too (trays or whatever). I've had instances where if there's too much oil in the frying, it can leak out of the air fryer from the bottom. -More accessories means more options, but you have more clatter around the house. There are just some accessories you'll probably never use and forget where they are. -Despite being bigger, it doesn't work well when trying to air fry things in two layers. The bottom layer always suffers as it doesn't have much exposure to the surface area. Everybody on the top floor is enjoying the party and the basement can enjoy no sun if you know what I mean.

In the end, I still think basket design air fryers work better. You just have a basket, put things in and take things out. Cleaning is a bit easier and you don't have accessories floating everywhere. The bigger size was supposed to be the draw for this device, but if I can't air fry things in two layers then it isn't as useful for me.

I give it a solid 3/5. It's perhaps good for those who want to air fry large single food items that won't fit in a basket.

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

Very disappointed that it has developed a fault – Actually bought ours in 2021, but this is the right model. I absolutely love it - much more practical than the $400 Philips I bought a few years ago with the pull out drawer (way too small to cook anything but a few chips). Aldi's cooks beautifully, although I don't bother with the chip drum after trying it out once. BUT the unit has just… Read more

developed a fault (door switch?) as the screen now refuses to show the settings when we close the door. Can't see an obvious failure point. Very disappointed as I really don't want to take it back.

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.
