Lidl has just updated its offers catalog with a new flyer full of interesting launches, and one standout is a best-selling air fryer with glass containers that closely resembles the popular Ninja Crispi. The Lidl air fryer, known as the Silvercrest »SHFDG 1500 A1«, has been sold out online for days but is finally arriving in Lidl stores on Friday, October 30.
This air fryer offers features very similar to the Ninja model but in a low-cost version. While the Ninja Crispi retails for €179.99 (though it's often discounted), the Lidl version is priced at just €69.99—less than half the price. That makes it a compelling option for anyone wanting the convenience of a dual-basket air fryer without the premium price tag.
What Makes the Lidl Air Fryer Stand Out?
The biggest selling points of this Lidl air fryer are its excellent value for money and its design. It features two independent baskets—one 2-liter and one 4-liter—both transparent, allowing you to remove them from the fryer and store them in the fridge with the included lids, or serve directly at the table. The capacity is actually slightly larger than that of the Ninja Crispi, giving you more room for cooking.

In terms of functionality, the Silvercrest model includes four preset programs, adjustable temperature from 60°C to 200°C, and a power output of 1,500 watts. It's a solid choice if you're looking for an air fryer with that trendy glass-basket design but don't want to spend a fortune.

How Does It Compare to the Ninja Crispi?
The table below summarizes the main differences between the Lidl Silvercrest air fryer and the Ninja Crispi. While the Ninja is a well-known brand with a reputation for performance, the Lidl model offers similar features at a much lower price point.

|---|---|---|
| Price | €69.99 | €179.99 (often discounted) |
| Basket capacity | 2 L + 4 L (dual baskets) | Dual baskets (slightly smaller) |

Why This Air Fryer Matters for Budget-Conscious Shoppers
Air fryers have become a staple in many kitchens, but premium models like the Ninja Crispi can be expensive. The Lidl version democratizes access to the glass-basket design, which allows you to monitor cooking progress without opening the basket and to store leftovers directly in the same container. For families or anyone cooking multiple dishes at once, the dual baskets are a game-changer.
Moreover, the ability to remove the baskets and use them for storage or serving reduces the number of dishes you need to wash. The included lids are a thoughtful addition that enhances convenience. At €69.99, this air fryer is an attractive option for first-time buyers or those looking to upgrade without breaking the bank.
Who Should Consider This Air Fryer?
This Lidl air fryer is ideal for budget-conscious shoppers who want the functionality of a dual-basket air fryer with glass containers. It's also great for small households that need flexibility in cooking portions—the 2-liter basket is perfect for sides or small batches, while the 4-liter basket handles main dishes. If you frequently reheat leftovers or like to serve food directly from the cooking vessel, the transparent glass design and lids add practical value.
However, if you prioritize brand reputation or advanced features like smart connectivity, you might still lean toward the Ninja. But for most home cooks, the Lidl model covers the essentials at an unbeatable price. The background to this story is set out in Ninja Crispi Air Fryer Hits Lowest Price Yet at MediaMarkt.

What to Watch for on Launch Day
The air fryer will be available in Lidl stores starting Friday, October 30. Given that it's been sold out online for days, demand is likely to be high. If you're interested, plan to visit your local store early. Lidl's limited-time offers often sell out quickly, especially when they offer such significant savings compared to name-brand alternatives.

Anyone following the wider picture can start with Tristar Air Fryer at Action: Ninja Crispi Dupe for Under $70. The same theme surfaces in Lidl's Pastel Green Silvercrest Air Fryer Returns at Just €42.99, which takes a different angle.
