Amazon slashes Tefal dual-zone air fryer to under £100 – and it’s still £50 cheaper than Ninja rival

SHOPPERS after a two-drawer air fryer without the Ninja price tag should grab Tefal’s 8.3L Easy Fry Dual model, which is now on sale at Amazon. The Tefal air fryer has a rare discount, dropping the price from £129.99 down to £99. It’s a practical and affordable buy for families Credit: Amazon Tefal Easy Fry Dual Zone Air Fryer, 8.3L: £99 (was £129.99) at Amazon It’s even £50 cheaper than the cheapest Ninja dual-zone air fryer rival, which costs £149.99. Sign up for the Money newsletter Thank you! The beauty of a dual-zone fryer is that you can cook two things at once, and the Tefal manages it with a 5.2L and a 3.1L drawer that can run independently. Where most twin fryers hand you two identical baskets, the mismatched drawers on the Tefal here are quietly useful, since you can fire up just the small one for a solo portion. There’s a SYNC setting to cook both drawers in the same timeframe, and eight cooking programs compared to four on the AF200UK Ninja model. The Tefal goes up to 200°C, with no preheating necessary thanks to Tefal’s Extra Crisp system. Tefal reckons it cooks around 40% faster than a conventional oven while using up to 70% less energy, though those are the brand’s own 2022 lab figures rather than an independent test. The honest trade-off is size. Ninja’s larger 9.5L Foodi Max Dual Zone air fryer feeds up to 8, but it is £80 more than the Tefal. Most read in Shopping So if you routinely cook for six or more, I’d weigh that capacity against the savings, since the Tefal’s smaller second drawer does cap how much you can run at full tilt. For most households, though, 8.3L is plenty, and the Tefal covers the same core trick for a good deal less. Amazon buyers praise the Tefal air fryer’s even cooking, the two-drawer convenience, and the easy dishwasher clean-up, with several calling it good value compared with costlier rivals.
