The Bunnings item shoppers just can't get enough of
Bunnings have jumped on the latest trend that has taken Australia by storm.
Air fryers have become all the rage as it cooks food in healthier ways, and offers endless options whether it be a breakfast meal, midday snack or a hearty dinner for the whole family to enjoy.
While the kitchen appliance can rack up a pretty hefty price tag with some retailers flogging them for as much as $600 – supermarkets are stepping up to the plate to offer affordable alternatives.
ALDI offered the gadget as part of one of their Special Buys promotions, but it sold out in just minutes.
Coles also recently launched one that was $20 cheaper as part of its new Best Buys category.
Now Bunnings has decided to get in on the air fryer action too, selling the kitchen appliance for the first time ever – with one for just $99, a whole $50 cheaper than Aldi.
Prices range from $99 for a four litre fryer to $329 for a “turbo charge” appliance
The cheapest of the lot is the Heller 1350W Air Fryer.
It features a 30 minute timer and variable temperature controls between 80 degrees and 200 degrees.
There is also the Healthy Choice Digital Electric Air Fryer ($118) which has a non-stick aluminium pot, eight cooking programs and a “keep warm” function.If you want to kick it up to an even larger option, there is also a 13-litre gadget for $167 which features six presets for meat, poultry, fish, bake, chips and pizza, and comes with a baking cage, rack, tongs and chicken rotisserie with a 60-minute timer.
The Philips Air Fryer Twin TurboStar (800g) is the most expensive and will cost you $329.
It’s got an analog control setting that comes with a “large cooking capacity” to serve up to four portions of your food to the family.
However, shoppers can only get the products via the Bunnings website, and not in-store.
When Coles released its $129 air fryer oven in June, some people were left disappointed they couldn’t get their hands on the appliance.
However, a Coles spokesperson says they are “working hard to increase supplies of the most popular items as part of our upcoming fortnightly events”.
“We have been blown away with the popularity of our new Coles Best Buys range. Our limited edition all-in-one oven and air fryer was particularly popular and sold out in just one day,” the spokesperson told news.com.au.
“Customers are telling us they’re really enjoying the great value offered across more than a hundred new products since launching the Coles Best Buys range in May.”
A new range of Coles Best Buys products will land in participating stores this Friday.
“The range will feature all your bathroom essentials at great value from soap dishes and ceramic tumblers at just $2.99 each, hand towels for $3.99, bath towels for $8.99, luxe bathrobes for $16.99 each, as well as an LED beauty mirror for just $19.99,” the spokesperson said.
