Amazon ‘glitch’ reduced air fryer from £48 to just £4
AN Amazon air fryer worth £48 was discounted down to just £4 – sending online shoppers into a frenzy.
Eagle-eyed shoppers spotted the discount, which could be a price glitch due to the size of the reduction.
The 4.5l RUXINGGU Air Fryer can be used to cook your favourite meals, and the method is healthier and quicker than traditional frying.
It was originally priced at £48, but eagle-eyed shoppers spotted it had been reduced to £3.99.
Delivery was also free – saving you more money – but the product isn’t expect to arrive until September 9.
However, the listing now says the air fryer is “currently unavailable”.
On Amazon’s website it says: “We don’t know when or if this item will be back in stock”.
We searched for the best value air fryers still in stock online – although none of them were quite as cheap as £4.
