How to get Salter and Tower air fryers from Lidl as items return

This comes amid a dramatic rise in the popularity of air fryers over the last few years with many seeing them as a cheaper alternative to ovens.

Last year, rival brand Aldi told customers that it would be releasing its own brand of air fryers that would be up to 50% cheaper than other commonly named brands.

After a long wait, Lidl has announced the return of the 7.4 litre Salter model - Here's how you can get your hands on one.

Is an air fryer cheaper to run than an oven?

Research from Uswitch.com has said that an air fryer running on 1,000 watts costs 17p per 30 minutes of use and 34p per 60 minutes of use.

Meanwhile, a 1,500W air fryer costs 26p for 30 minutes and 51p for an hour, whilst a 1,800W air fryer costs 31p for 30 minutes and 61p for an hour.

Overall, this makes air fryers cheaper than ovens, with a 2.5kW oven costing 34p for 30 minutes and 68p for an hour.
