Back Again: Lidl's Double-Basket Air Fryer on Mallorca — What You Should Know

When it arrives and why this time everyone is watching again

From Sunday, September 22 Lidl stores on Mallorca will again offer the popular air fryer with two cooking chambers. The offer runs until September 28, price: 74.99 euros. If you live on the island or will be visiting soon and don’t have one yet: yes, it’s worth getting up early.

What the device can do (and what it can’t)

Short and sweet: two baskets, each about 4.35 liters – total around 8.7 liters. With 2,600 W power, retro-cream finish and a touchscreen, the fryer looks more stylish than the usual stainless model. The practical thing is the split, because you can prepare fries and vegetables at the same time or two different dishes separately.

Also on board: 11 preset programs (from preheating to fries, chicken, steak to cake and defrost). For families, shared kitchens or people who like to pre-cook, this is a real plus. And yes: it uses less fat than frying in oil, which many here on Mallorca appreciate—especially now when dinners are a bit lighter.

Practical tips for buyers on Mallorca

A little tip from experience: demand is high. On some Sundays, lines form in front of popular stores in Palma and at the more touristy spots as early as 8:00 AM. Staff say they sometimes restock at noon, but you can't count on it.

If you want to snag one: bring a shopping bag, plan parking time (Lidl in Son Ferriol gets tight) and check the Lidl app or the flyer beforehand — there are often notes whether the goods are offered only in limited quantities. Some stores do not reserve, so it's first come, first served.

What the retro design suits

The cream-colored appearance is deliberately understated, matching both older cabinets and modern kitchens alike. On the countertop, it looks more appealing than a black box. Whether the design justifies the price is up to each person—functionally, the device is solid.

In conclusion: for everyone who wants to start right away, there are programs for pizza, shrimp and cake—yes, cake—which was surprising when I first read the overview. If you're interested, plan breakfast into your day, then your chances of leaving satisfied are higher than returning disappointed.

Conclusion: Good features at a moderate price, but limited quantities. Be there early or check the online flyer, otherwise you'll have to wait for the next promotion.
