SHOPPERS have spotted an air fryer selling for just £13.75 at a major supermarket, making it potentially the cheapest deal around.
A bargain hunter on Facebook shared a photo of the Salter 3.7L air fryer on Asda shelves which was advertised as a “special price”.
The similar Ninja version is selling for £78 – so shoppers would be paying around £64 less for the Salter air fryer in Asda.
Shoppers on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group shared their disbelief at the deal, with one saying: “No way is it that price.”
Another commented: “Brilliant price.”
Others tagged their friends to check their local stores for the mega deal.
One person said they had bought the same air fryer from Aldi previously and it was “as powerful as Ninja”.
However another person who owns the air fryer said its drawers weren't “that big” so it would likely suit a smaller family.
Similar sized air fryers are usually advertised as being suitable for two to three people.
The product doesn't appear to be available on Asda's website so you should check your local store for the deal.

It's not clear whether the deal is nationwide.
Remember, you should always shop around to make sure you're getting the best price – although this is the lowest price we can currently see for an air fryer of this size.
To give an idea of the saving here, Salter's 2L Compact Air Fryer is £34.99 on its official website.
Meanwhile the 3.2L Personal Hot Air Fryer is £41.99.
The Ninja version, which is slightly bigger at 3.8L, is on offer for £78 down from £99.99 on the company's official website.
It has four cooking functions, which are Air Fry, Roast, Dehydrate and Reheat.
The description says its basket can fit a 1.35kg chicken or 900g of French fries.
It's got overwhelmingly positive reviews online, with one person saying: “It's amazing wish I had got one sooner . Very easy to use delighted with it Save using my big oven.”
Another says: “Crispy chips and chicken, such a worthy investment, would always recommend to any family and friends, saved on gas as well.”
What do other air fryers cost?
If you can't find the deal in your local Asda, you can get similar sized air fryers elsewhere.
The Dunelm Manual 4 Litre Air Fryer is slightly bigger and costs £30.
It has an impressive 4.7 stars out of 5 online and shoppers say it's a “must have”.
One reviewer wrote: “Amazing value, very simple to use, cooks brilliantly, a great energy saver and compact.”
There's also the Russell Hobbs Satisfry Air Fryer 4.3L, which is a little pricier at £54.99.
However this is down from an RRP of £94.99, so you would be making a decent saving.
It's got glowing reviews, averaging at five stars out of five.
One person said: “I've tried a couple of different brands of air fryers and this one is probably one of my favourites.”
Another wrote: “This airfryer is amazing ! The capacity is great and i've cooked some very nice meals in it!”
Rise of the air fryer
Air fryers have maintained their spot as the most popular kitchen gadget in the UK last year.
Annual sales figures from Lakeland show sales of air fryers were up 1,175% on last year – when they were already soaring in popularity – as households continue their efforts to save energy on standard ovens.
The retailer said: “In previous years, their popularity could be attributed to consumers seeking healthier cooking options and fast cooking times.
“However, with the cost-of-living crisis continuing, air fryers have a renewed appeal as an efficient alternative to oven cooking.”;
The only other products that “shaped the year”; were heated airers – with sales up 51% – and heated textiles, such as heated throws and ponchos, Lakeland said, as households bought gadgets as an alternative to expensive dryers and central and electric heaters.
