Air fryers are ideal for quick, effective cooking – but you don’t have to pay a premium to get one.
Dunelm has cut the Digital 6.8L Black Air Fryer from £65 to £32.50, in a hefty half price deal.

September is just around the corner, which means many students will be starting university.
While expectations of cooking up a storm might be unrealistic, an air fryer is a great gadget to have for fast and easy meals.
For £32.50 from Dunelm, the Digital 6.8L Black Air Fryer is not only cheap, but also practical.
The size is compact enough that it would fit neatly on a counter in even a small kitchen, or you could even store it in your bedroom without taking up too much space.
With a 6.8L capacity, the air fryer is large enough to cook 3-4 portions, which is handy for prepping lunches to take to lectures or to work.
As with all air fryers, a major benefit is the very small amount of oil required – because the heat is so concentrated, you can achieve crispy results without adding unhealthy fats.
It would lend itself well to cooking from scratch – anything from chicken thighs to roast potatoes, but also comes in handy for easy snacks like garlic bread, toasties and chips.
While it’s not going to be as high-tech as brands that’ll set you back hundreds of pounds, it’s still impressively versatile.
There are eight different food settings, which make it easier to get the perfect cooking times and temperatures for fish, meat and vegetables.
Following hundreds of reviews, the Dunelm air fryer now has a 4.7 star rating.
One shopper said: ‘’Great product, perfect for my daughter at uni.’’
‘’Lightweight and easy to use.’’
Another shopper commented: ‘’This is the second air fryer of this type that I have bought.’’
‘’I have one at home and one in our holiday home.’’
‘’Excellent capacity and so easy to use and brilliant results every time.’’
A third shopper added their feedback, praising the affordable device: ‘’Great kitchen appliance, saves time and money by not having to use the cooker, wish we had bought one months ago, outstanding.’’
