SHOPPERS crashed the Aldi website in a rush to get their hands on a Specialbuy air fryer that can slash your energy bill.
Some waited for three hours for a chance to buy the £89.99 Ambiano Dual Basket air fryer, only to be thrown out at the online checkout.
More than 115,000 people were in a virtual queue at 9.50am – almost two hours after the air fryer went on sale.
A message to queuing shoppers posted on the website said: “We’re very sorry, but there are currently lots of people trying to access the Aldi website.
“We’ve automatically placed you in a queue. Don’t worry about refreshing – the page will update automatically.”
