Baking and cooking have come a long way. You don’t have to go back more than a couple of centuries to find people slaving over wood or coal stoves, if not a simple open flame. Since then, the development of gas and electric ovens and ranges, microwaves, digital programmable pressure cookers, and other appliances have made it much, much easier to whip up a fully cooked meal. Not only do these tools cook efficiently, but they’re versatile and suitable for a wide variety of foods.

Air fryers are another important appliance, and perhaps an underrated one. Essentially a convection oven, air fryers blow air over food to push the cold air away. That helps the food cook up much faster, to say nothing of crispier. It’s healthier and less messy than a deep fryer while producing similar results.

Aldi is known to sell plenty of cooking appliances in its middle aisle, and now it is selling a large air fryer.

What We Know:

The Ambiano 8-Quart Digital Air Fryer (Product Code: 708727) is an Aldi Find. That means it’s only in stores for a limited time. Once it’s sold out, you won’t be able to find it in stores until it comes back, whenever that might be. If it’s not in stock at your local store, you can’t order it online.

At the time of this post, this air fryer costs $79.99. That’s lower than most, if not all, other air fryers of this size that we can find online.

We’ve previously reviewed two other Aldi air fryers and had good experiences with them. We reviewed the 2.7 quart Ambiano Air Fryer in 2019 and found it to be a solid appliance for cooking. We upgraded to the Ambiano 6 Quart Air Fryer in 2022 and found it a worthy successor that allowed us to cook larger quantities of food faster than with the smaller model. If the track record is any indication, we would expect this 8-quart model to also be a promising cooking utility.

Additionally, here’s more information about the 8-quart air fryer, according to Aldi:

• Available in Black or Pale Aqua
• Adjustable temperature range up to 400 °F
• Features digital touchscreen display with automatic shutoff and audible tone
• Sleek matte finish exterior
• Dishwasher Safe nonstick basket and crisping tray for easy cleanup

What We Don’t Know:

While we’ve tested two of this air fryer’s smaller siblings, we haven’t tested out this one. For that reason, we can’t speak to how well it works, even if we’ve had good experiences with the other ones. We write open threads so readers can discuss Aldi products.
