EDITOR’S NOTE: Updated for 2024. 

My family bought an air fryer from Aldi a few years ago, and it’s become one of the most-used appliances in our kitchen. It’s ideal for reheating leftovers and is great for cooking breaded or crispy foods such as chicken fingers, fries, egg rolls, hash brown patties, or mozzarella sticks. I also like cooking veggies such as asparagus or diced cauliflower in the air fryer with a little olive oil, salt, pepper, and some grated Parmesan cheese.

While my family has a standard-sized air fryer, you can sometimes find larger air fryers or smaller ones, depending on how many people you need to feed. Aldi has sold several types of air fryers over the years, and they’ve even offered some novel combination twists on air fryers, including a pressure cooker and air fryer combo and an air fryer oven with rotisserie.

Most recently, Aldi is selling a compact air fryer.

What We Know:

The 2022 model.

The Ambiano Compact Air Fryer (Product Code: 704385 in 2022; Product Code: 830977 in 2024) cost $29.99 in July of 2024. That’s $5 less than the $34.99 it sold for in 2022. That’s also on the lower end of prices compared to air fryers on Amazon.

This is an Aldi Find, so it’s only in stores for a short time. Each store gets just one shipment, and once that sells out, they’re gone unless Aldi decides to bring them back. Aldi does not offer online ordering for products that aren’t in stock at your local store. Aldi does bring this compact air fryer back sometimes. The grocer sold it in 2020 and 2021 for $34.99.

Here’s more information about the 2024 compact air fryer, according to Aldi:

• 2.1-quart capacity
• Includes non-stick coated crisping tray and basket
• Features timer function with alarm signal
• Temperature control approximately 180F-400F
• Easy-to-clean housing
• Perfect for small kitchens
• Available in black or blue

Aldi has not published information about any kind of warranty for the 2024 compact air fryer, but the 2021 model came with a three-year warranty.
