Shoppers in a frenzy as Bunnings launches a range of air fryers - after Coles and Aldi sold out of their own within minutes
- Bunnings Warehouse are now stocking large air fryers on its online website
- Coles and Aldi released their own versions of the popular mini ovens in June
- But these sold out within minutes of stores opening, angering customers
- Bunnings has a $139 Healthy Choice fryer and a $329 Philips Twin Turbo one
Bunnings Warehouse has launched a range of air fryer ovens just one week after Coles and Aldi sold out in minutes - as Kmart continues struggling to keep them in stock.
The home improvement store has three air fryers in stock online, ranging in price from $118 for a five litre oven to $329 for a 'turbo charge' appliance.
The Healthy Choice Digital Electric Air Fryer ($118) features a non-stick aluminium pot, eight cooking programs and a 'keep warm' function.
The most expensive option is the Philips Air Fryer Twin TurboStar ($329) which comes with a 'large cooking capacity' to serve up to four portions of your food

Healthy Choice also has a 13 litre electric option for $167 with six presets for meat, poultry, fish, bake, chips and pizza, and comes with a baking cage, rack, tongs and chicken rotisserie.
Finally, the most expensive option is the Philips Air Fryer Twin TurboStar ($329) which comes with a 'large cooking capacity' to serve up to four portions of your food to the family.
The air fryers are not available in store and have to be ordered online so you'll need to visit the Bunnings website to get your hands on one.
A number of disappointed customers were left empty handed last week after queuing outside Coles for a limited edition air fryer that sold out in a matter of minutes.

The 25 litre All-In-One Oven with Air Fryer went on sale for $129 across 88 supermarket stores on Friday June 26.
Many customers eager to get their hands on the popular item lined up outside the store in the early hours of the morning and still missed out on the deal.
One woman said she was fifth in queue at a Green Valley store, in Western Sydney, and still managed to leave the store without an air fryer.
The store opened at 7am, though by 7.04am its shelves were left completely bare.
Coles told Daily Mail Australia it would work hard to increase supplies of its popular items at its stores.
'We have been blown away with the popularity of our new Coles Best Buys range. Our limited edition All-In-One Oven with Air Fryer was particularly popular and sold out Friday morning.

Recipe for DIY air fried Oreos
Time: Less than 10 minutes
Cost: $6.40
Ingredients
1 cup self-raising flour ($1)
1 cup plain Greek yoghurt ($2.30)
1 teaspoon milk ($1.10)
1 packet of Oreos ($2)
Method
1. Add 1 cup of self-raising flour and 1 cup of plain Greek yoghurt into a bowl, mixing around until it forms into a thick, sticky dough.
2. Add 1 teaspoon of milk and mix until smooth.
3. With wet hands, pull a chunk of dough - about the size of a golf ball - from the bowl and press an Oreo into the middle, folding the dough around it. Make sure your hands are damp as it makes the batter easier to handle.
4. Line the basket of an air fryer with baking paper and coat lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
5. Place the Oreos covered in dough, spaced well apart, and cook at 200 degrees Celsius for 5 minutes.
6. After 5 minutes, turn over and fry for another 3 minutes until golden brown.
7. Serve immediately with icing sugar and chocolate syrup.
