    Release date for Lidl air fryer similar to £130 Ninja model

    Lidl is launching a new Silvercrest 6.7L Air Fryer in the Middle Aisle this week on Thursday 15 October 2026.

    Priced at just £32.99, the appliance is being positioned as a direct, highly budget-friendly competitor to premium models like the Ninja MAX 6.2L (which usually retail around £129.99).

    Key Features of the Silvercrest 6.7L Air Fryer

    • 7 Preset Programs: Includes dedicated modes for Air Fry, Ultra Crisp, Roast, Bake, Reheat, Dehydrate, and Prove.
    • The new model boasts a generous 6.7-litre capacity (with a 5.6-litre usable volume) that can comfortably handle up to 1kg of chips.
    • Temperature and Control: Operates with a wide temperature range spanning from 40°C to 240°C, controlled via a digital screen and manual selection dial.
    • High Power: Runs on 2150W for rapid cooking speeds.
    • Easy Cleanup: Features a removable frying basket and trivet treated with a high-quality ILAG® non-stick coating, both of which are fully dishwasher-safe.
    • Warranty: Comes backed by a 3-year manufacturer’s warranty

     Lidl adds: “Frying basket and trivet with high-quality non-stick coating from ILAG: very good system with excellent corrosion resistance. It Includes an instruction manual and recipe book. Frying basket and trivet are dishwasher-safe.” 

    The most significant difference between the two air fryers is the price. The Ninja AF170UK typically retails for between £100 and £129.99, while Lidl’s Silvercrest alternative will be available for just £32.99. This represents an upfront saving of around £67 to £97, making it a considerably more budget-friendly option.

    Lidl’s model also comes with a three-year manufacturer’s warranty, offering an extra year of coverage compared with Ninja’s standard two-year registered warranty. With a slightly larger capacity, the Silvercrest air fryer can also accommodate more food in a single batch, potentially reducing the number of cooking cycles needed and helping households save on electricity.
