I'm trying to buy a new Ninja air fryer for my kitchen here in London but the prices on Amazon seem to change every single hour its so confusing. My logic was that I should wait for it to go down again but I dont actually know if the current price is even good or not?

I searched for some kind of history button on the page but I couldnt find anything at all. Is there like a free website or something where I can just paste the link and see a graph of the price? Sorry if this is a really basic thing to ask I just have no idea where to even start looking for this stuff...

You can use CamelCamelCamel for that. I learned the hard way with a blender last year. I thought I got a steal, but the price dropped twenty quid the next week. It was such a gut punch. Now I always check the history graphs there first so I dont get fooled by fake sales. TL;DR: Check CamelCamelCamel. It shows the price history so you know if you are overpaying.

Ngl its so frustrating when you think youve found a deal only to see it drop even lower... Ive had issues with some of the basic trackers lately because they seem to lag right when you need them most. Unfortunately, they missed a flash sale on the Ninja Foodi I wanted and the alert came through two hours too late. Its such a letdown when you realize you couldve saved an extra twenty quid if the site had just updated properly. Basically you gotta be a bit more aggressive if you want the best price for that air fryer:

  • Use PriceSpy to compare with other UK shops too because sometimes Argos or Currys actually have it cheaper than Amazon.
  • Check the Amazon Warehouse section for those specific Ninja models... usually its just a damaged box and you can save a massive amount.
  • Always look at the 1-year view on whatever graph you use because the 3-month one usually hides the really deep discounts from earlier in the year. Hopefully you get a better result than I did with my last kitchen gadget... still stinging from overpaying for my kettle tho.

@Reply #6 - good point! Keepa is basically the standard for this. I have been tracking appliance prices for years and the key is looking at the full year view rather than just the last month. Brands like Ninja follow very specific seasonal cycles. They almost always bottom out during the spring and then again right before the winter holidays. Quick tip... check the Warehouse or Used

  • Like New filter on the tracker. You can usually find the same air fryer with a banged up box for 20 or 30 percent cheaper than the current new price. If the graph shows the price is currently at a peak, just set an alert and wait. It almost always drops back down within three weeks. Btw I use Share Product for my holiday shopping lists, definitely worth a look if you're struggling with the Amazon app.

Lol I was literally about to post the same thing. Glad someone else brought it up.

keepa is what i use most days. its a browser extension that puts the price graph right under the product image on the amazon page. really handy because you dont have to keep switching tabs.

  • tracks new and used prices
  • shows lightning deal history
  • lets you set specific price alerts basically it catches the quick spikes that other sites miss... helped me avoid overpaying for my own air fryer last year.

Works great for me
