sorted bySo, a year or so done the line if it goes belly up - just chuck it as they will not honour the guarantee.
Checked with the manual for my Ambiano fryer and the service number that I called seems to be Medion, which I discover isn’t Aldi but Lenovo…
Took it into the office and set it up, but didn't bring any food to test today. It is as functional as any normal air fryer with food presets, and reached up to 200 degrees. his is what it looks like:
Excited to get started with this soon. Maybe I'll have 'office cooked' nugs and chips for lunch next week. (edited)
My Tower multi cooker has been good until it went pop but reviews on it are not good. If and when this new one goes pop I will go back to a Halogen with a hinged lid. Miss my old one as it would cook a whole chicken just perfect. They got a Andrew James with a spare bulb on Amazon for £80.00, that will be my next one.
What about the mpg?
Is it better to buy outright or lease?

If this is designed anything like the Ambiano milk frother........it's probably quicker to just throw your food on the kitchen worktop, cry, then order a takeaway. (edited)
My Tower multi cooker went pop about 4 weeks ago. They wanted a picture of it in my kitchen and an explanation of how I had looked after it. Details of the original receipt. Emails back and forth. Then I had to cut the plug lead 1cm close to the unit and send another picture confirming this. I was then sent a new one. It was about 18 months into a 3 year warranty. Strange but true.

Really tasty!
Totally worth it in my opinion! Hope this has helped you all make an informed decision!
I'm thinking this might be better for 1 person ?
Also would a smaller one use less energy ?
Does that make sense ? Any other opinions / buying advice ?
Saving kWh is my main driver for considering one of these, I used to have a halogen cooker that broke a few yes back.
I had the complete opposite experience with them when my last air fryer broke. The UK based company that provides their support answered the phone within 2 ringsand provided me with a shipping label to return the air fryer and within 10 days or so, I had recieved a cheque to cover the full cost of the air fryer. I couldn’t fault the experience at all!
My experience was very different. I hadlost the tiny silicone rubber bung that stops my airfryer basket rubbing on the outer drawer. It also seals that outer pan.
Anyway, a drawing pin sized high temperature plug.
I phoned the customer service number in the manual and tried to buy one. They wouldn’t let me, instead insisting on sending me a whole pan (with bung) as the bung wasn’t listed individually- and, the point of the story, they refused payment and sent it (free) as a warranty claim.
I have no doubts whatsoever about the value of Aldi’s warranty.
Yep, exactly what I've been looking for I am planning to have it ready to use by my desk at work, right next to my electric bento box.
Yes it is the IDEAL capacity for a small household.
Even though it has no basket in the drawer, there are buyers looking for this size of airfryer, as Aldi’s marketing department know very well.
Spend a little while watching Kathy’s comparison videos…

I want your job
Any jobs going in your office?
This made my morning
Yep, no surprise.
However, I've still got the emails they sent me - I shall try to post them.
Ok; First reply;
I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing an issue with this item.
To validate your warranty we need to obtain a copy of your receipt, can you please send this via email and I will personally deal with this case moving forward.
Can you please also provide your shipping address too?
Once received I will be able to advise you further.
Kind Regards
Customer Services
Second reply; Thank you for providing us with the receipt.
Please could you send us an image of the airfryer as it was set up when it was in working order(not in storage but when in use)?
Once provided we will be able to look into this further.
Kind Regards
Customer Services
My reply to second email;I did not take any images of the unit when it was in working order. Is there any particular reason why you would require such an image? Are you unfamiliar with the unit I'm referring to? It's an Ambiano Halogen Air Fryer. It's depicted in the attached photograph.
Their reply: The reason why we ask for an image is so that we don’t have to inconvenience yourself in asking for the product to be returned and to ensure the product is set up as to the instruction manual.
Please note the image you have provided (we are presuming is from a website) shows that the item has been set up incorrect as we mention numerous times in the manual that the extension ring is not to be put around the bowl when in use. Incorrect set up is not covered under the terms of the warranty.
They continued in this vein of finding reasons to avoid replacing or refunding. It was quite obvious to me that they had absolutely no intention of honouring the warranty. Nice that things worked out for you, no idea why they would think the first thing people do when they buy an air fryer is take a photograph of it when they use it, but heyho.
Strange but true indeed.
I thought it would just be a case of showing receipt and returning item, but was surprised to be asked for a photograph of it when it was working - I mean, who does that?
I just got the strong impression they just weren't up for honouring the warranty.
We're looking for a new one now as it's a handy thing for quick snacks. Not sure what to get, but won't be an Ambiano that's for sure. Had a Tower and a James halogen in the past (both better than the Ambiano imho), but kids took them off to uni. Would like to know which gets the best reviews, but the Which Magazine doesn't seem to give much comparison on them at all, and I really don't trust a lot of the reviews on the net. Any recommendations?
Aldi are good and usually fix this sort of problem without quibble, however, it wasn't Aldi I was dealing with - they advised me to take it up with Ambiano (which was an entirely different experience altogether).
Maybe they've changed it. I had to deal with some organisation called Eurosonic.
