We used the is product for a week and here's what I have to say about this air fryer. 

In terms of design and looks, Xiaomi Smart Air Fryer is one of the most attractive air fryers I have used so far. the good part is that this air fryer from Xiaomi is very lightweight and user-friendly. The Mi Smart Air Fryer is white, glossy and comes with with an almost invisible on/off key and a single, central dial, instead of a series of buttons.  The dial on Xiaomi Smart Air Fryer has a digital an oval-shaped display that shows a top menu of cooking options, including french fries and more. The air fryer measures 33.5 x 25.2 x 30.4cm and has an internal capacity of 3.5 litres. The comfort factor is good here. The device overall ticked most of the right boxes here. 

In terms of connectivity, when connecting the device to Mi Home app, you can easily control the device and access over 50 plus easy-to-cook recipes for quick inspiration on their everyday meal. We did not face any connectivity issues while using this device. it further elevates the smart experience with an OLED display at the front that provides real-time viewing of cooking status, as well as capability to voice command the device to have it start, pause, or check remaining cooking time using Google Assistant. You can also schedule cooking and start a cooking programme using voice control via Google Home Assistant.

 In terms of performance, instead of conventional cooking methods, Xiaomi Smart Air Fryer 3.5L leverages 1500W heating power that enables rapid temperature increase and more balanced heat distribution inside the Air Fryer, shortening the cooking time and offering a faster, healthier and more convenient lifestyle. It also offers adjustable temperature between 40-degree C to 200-degree C along with 24 hour long continuous operating time. The low temperatures are automatically paired with the low rotating speed of the dual-speed motor for slow temperature increase.

This air fryer allows you to flexibly schedule their meal for up to 24 hours in advance, while opening up endless cooking possibilities, such as yogurt fermentation or food dehydration. With the configuration of the dual-speed fan, the Smart Air Fryer can also defrost frozen goods, baking, dried fruits, and ferment vegetables. As I mentioned above, this product from Xiaomi comes with more than 50 plus smart recipes making it easy for beginners to cook delicious food. The smart air fryer also supports custom cooking mode.

Xiaomi Smart Air Fryer 3.5L comes with 8 preset modes and 360-dfree hot air circulation that leads to evenly cooked food. It also supports up to 24 hour scheduled cooking, to get the cooking done. you can pull out the basket at any time to check the cooking status of the food and simply put the basket back to resume the cooking process. To maximize cooking space, the air fryer comes with an exclusive grill that makes more efficient use of the inner space. Additionally, the seven-layer composite frying basket features a dual-layer PTFE nonstick coating, making the basket wear-resistant, durable and easy to clean.

Xiaomi Smart Air Fryer verdict: Available at 9,999 in India, the Xiaomi Smart Air Fryer is the right kitchen appliance, you should have it at home and especially for those who have kids at home. This user-friendly air fryer really looks good and is very light to carry. On top of this, Xiaomi Smart Air Fryer comes with additional smart features which adds extra points when you compare it with the microwaves. Pricewise, I think its is bit costlier for Indian market. However the performance was up to the mark.
