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. Aldi's website crashed as shoppers rushed to buy the air fryerCredit: ALDI Aldi shoppers were stuck in online queues to buy the air fryer 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." Aldi fans took to social media to complain about the website, with some calling the system "a joke". Writing in the Aldi UK Shoppers Facebook group, one person said: "Do you think anyone has managed to get one? "It was nigh on impossible- I started trying at 7am." While another said: "I was in their online web queue. There were 94,500 before me!! Think I'll give up." And a third said: "I've tried all morning can't even get air fryer up on Aldi at all. I've been on it since 7.45 and it crashed after 10 mins." The Sun has contacted Aldi for comment. Aldi's air fryer costs £89.99 - which is £110 cheaper than the popular Ninja foodi dual zone air fryer. It's got seven automatic cooking programmes and two heating elements to cook two different food simultaneously. The handy kitchen gadget can reach a temperature of 200C and it's got a 60-minute timer too, so you know when your food is cooked to perfection. Plus, the coated frying basket is non-stick, which should mean little to no mess cleaning up after dinner. The only catch is that the device is in high demand, so if you want to catch the bargain at a similar price, you'll have to be quick. It's also important to remember that you will have to pay for delivery if){kind=link}
