Lidl is releasing a new air fryer this week that offers an "easy" way to cook more in a 'fast and compact' way. The Silvercrest Double Stack Air Fryer lands in stores on Sunday, October 4, priced at £79.99.
Vertical Design and Capacity
The air fryer features two vertically stacked, separately controlled cooking zones, each offering 4.75L of space (9.5L overall). It allows for "multi-tier cooking" with up to four layers, and comes with an LED display, push-buttons, and an adjustment knob.
Lidl says: "For preparing two dishes simultaneously. Two vertically stacked, separately controlled, independent cooking zones. Multi-tier cooking with up to four layers. LED display with push-buttons and adjustment knob for easy operation."
Comparison to Ninja Model
The device looks and functions similarly to the Ninja Double Stack XL 9.5L Air Fryer SL400UK, available for £199.99 on the official Ninja website. Both appliances feature a vertical design that places one cooking drawer on top of the other, saving counter space compared to standard side-by-side dual-zone air fryers.
In terms of capabilities, the two models are almost identical. Both feature a total capacity of 9.5 litres, split evenly between top and bottom drawers, and come with removable wire racks for cooking on up to four separate layers simultaneously.
Features and Accessories
Lidl's device includes seven preset modes: reheat, dehydrate, air fry, roast, prove, bake, and ultra crisp. It also uses 'sync technology', which completes two dishes simultaneously using different programs.
Each set includes trays to elevate food and non-stick trivets. At 37cm wide, the compact air fryer takes up less counter space than a traditional side-by-side device.
Budget retailer Aldi has a similar device returning to stores on Thursday, October 1, priced at £49.99.
Other New Lidl Items
As part of its first October releases, Lidl is selling a £10 "perfect for autumn" jacket, similar to a £70 high-end option. The Esmara Ladies' Navy Lightweight Padded Jacket is coming to stores this weekend, just in time for autumn weather. It is ultra-lightweight with a padded design, which Lidl says can help keep you warm on chilly mornings and crisp evening walks. The lightweight outerwear shares similar features to the £69 Esprit Outdoor Woven Jacket.
