Detailed Review of Mi Smart Air Fryer
It functions similarly to any other air fryer on the market. It pumps hot air on the dishes to cook them, giving them the same crunchy finish as deep-frying but with significantly less oil. Xiaomi says that the Mi Smart Air Fryer can save up to 85% on oil. It’s a multipurpose appliance. Not only can users airfryer, but they can also bake, roast, dry, and even ferment yoghurt because the temperature can drop down to as low as 40 degree C. The air fryer offers a 3.5-litre capacity and eight presets that trigger specific temperature and cooking periods for various dishes.
Looks & Features
The shiny white air fryer sports an elegant appearance and forgoes a slew of buttons in favour of a 1.8-inch dial and a screen in one, which can be used to access the settings menu and choose preset options. The Mi Smart Air Fryer can be connected to the user’s home Wi-Fi network, allowing users to use the app to choose from a variety of recipes and activate the appropriate cooking length and temperature with a single tap. The appliance is also compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant.
Design
The Xiaomi Mi Smart Air Fryer is a modest gadget that measures 33.5 cm in height, 25.2 cm in weight, and 30.4 cm in diameter. The appliance has a shiny white finish which is unlike most other air fryers. The appliance has a dial to scroll through eight presets, which are the default settings of temperature and cooking time for every dish. The appliance can cook at temperatures ranging from 40 ° C to 200 ° C and for up to 24 hours at a time – however the latter is at lower temperatures. It can cook for up to an hour at its highest temperature.
When cooking for a big party, the Mi Smart Air Fryer comes with a frying basket, crisper plate, and grill rack, which can be used to make two tiers inside the frying basket. With regards to fryer capacity Xiaomi claims it is enough for up to five people. The Xiaomi Mi Smart Air Fryer allows management of the air fryer from a smartphone through the Xiaomi home app.
Performance
When frying frozen steak-cut chips and a handmade version of the potato snack, the Xiaomi Mi Smart Air Fryer created crisp, crunchy fries during the testing process. Users obtained crisp fries with a fluffy potato center after just 25 minutes of cooking time. Because the air fryer does not have a frozen meal preset, a recipe from the Xiaomi Home app was instead used for few such recipes. As a result, while all of the fries had snuggly potato insides, not all of the fries were crunchy or evenly browned. The air fryer’s performance was unsatisfactory when it came to frying chicken wings.
While cooking, the Mi Smart Air Fryer recorded 57dB on the decibel meter, which is similar to a refrigerator’s moderate hum. The air fryer can be programmed to start cooking up to 24 hours ahead of time. However, the food must be left in the frying basket during that time. We know what you’re contemplating.
Should you get some space for it in your kitchen?
The Mi Smart Air Fryer is one of the smallest air fryers that has been tested, measuring 33.5 x 25.2 x 30.4cm. It’s perfect if the user doesn’t have a lot of counter space. This can be linked to the user’s home Wi-Fi network and managed via their smartphone. This is one of the quietest air fryers we’ve tested, recording at 57db, which is around 5db lower than comparable air fryers on the market. This is the model for users if they desire as little noise as possible when cooking. There are only a few downsides to purchasing this, the capacity being at 3.5 litres and can only feed a group of 5 at a time. Considering all this, this is a great value for money purchase.
