A backing tray and air fryer tray also come as equipment included in the package.
Handy for busy weekday evenings, late-night snacks or reheating some left-overs, it " combines the convenience of a microwave with the healthy cooking power of an air fryer".
This machine can do anything from crisping up frozen chips, browning nuggets, blasting some veggies or heating a pizza.
It also saves having wash up various dishes or scrub greasy pans.
With pre-set functions, the gadget is uncomplicated to use just requiring a press of a button to select an option to defrost, grill or fry.
But shoppers should get in quick to get their hands on this highly sought after kitchen item.
As an Aldi Specialbuy, the 2-in-1 Microwave Air Fryer will only be available in store for a limited time as "once they're gone, they're gone".
It also proves a significantly cheaper than buying from other stores like John Lewis, where their Combi Wave 3 is selling at £399.95.
In addition, John Lewis' version only contains two power levels, while Aldi's Microwave Air Fryer has 11.
As an increasingly popular must-have in the kitchen that is more often used in recipes nowadays, this microwave-air fryer combination proves an effective buy.
They have also be considered a healthier and more energy-efficient option than cooking food by deep-fat frying or using an oven.
This is because they do not actually fry food, instead using a heating chamber that quickly circulates hot air with a fan.
Food can be made crispy and browned without having to use much oil, subsequently making it healthier.
And unlike a oven that requires pre-heating, food items can simply be placed in an air fryer to be cooked, making them less cost and time consuming to run.

Having so many functions combined in one product also makes it suitable for smaller kitchens.
It eliminates the need to purchase and make space for lots of separate appliances.
Rise of the air fryer
Air fryers have maintained their spot the most popular kitchen gadget in the UK last year.
Annual sales figures from Lakeland show sales of air fryers were up 1,175% on last year – when they were already soaring in popularity – as households continue their efforts to save energy on standard ovens.
The retailer said: “In previous years, their popularity could be attributed to consumers seeking healthier cooking options and fast cooking times.
“However, with the cost-of-living crisis continuing, air fryers have a renewed appeal as an efficient alternative to oven cooking.”
The only other products that “shaped the year” were heated airers – with sales up 51% – and heated textiles, such as heated throws and ponchos, Lakeland said, again as households brought in gadgets as an alternative to expensive dryers and central and electric heaters.
