Traditional air fryers rely on a single heat source or offer only basic roasting. They struggle to balance time and temperature, often leaving food dry and tough. As time goes by, they stay idle due to their single function, taking up valuable counter space and adding to the clutter. Featuring the world's first steam-then-roast technology, the AF80 rethinks the logic of the air fryer, resolving the conflict between healthy eating and efficient cooking in today's fast-paced world.
Integrating CrispVapor™ technology with 360° Dual-Source Cyclonic™ technology, the AF80 uses high-speed hot air to crisp the food's surface while adding steam to lock in moisture. This enables the advanced "steam-then-roast" function. By first steaming to tenderize the meat and lock in its natural juices, and then roasting to achieve a golden, aromatic finish, it creates a superior depth of flavor and texture while significantly reducing fat, offering chef-grade dishes. With its 800 ml water tank and 7 L large-capacity basket, the AF80 cooks multiple dishes in one go, improving cooking efficiency and making family meals and gatherings effortless.
With 14 pro functions (10 core + 4 steam assist) and 20 auto programs, a single machine handles frying, steaming, baking, fermenting, and defrosting, meeting both Western and Eastern taste preferences while replacing many single-function cooking appliances. This frees users from messy countertops and tedious cooking tasks, creating a relaxing, convenient cooking experience.
The engaging dot-matrix screen delivers emotional warmth and a sense of ritual through simple, fun startup greetings and patterns. Besides, the mobile app supports remote preheat and start-stop, offering intuitive real-time status feedback.
The 800ml water tank is seamlessly integrated into the top, maintaining a clean and unified silhouette. The transparent outer shell, combined with inner Roman column texture, creates layered visual effects under shifting light, delivering a visual experience that perfectly balances restraint and depth.
