Xiaomi has launched a new air fryer that includes 11 cooking functions, including steaming and sous vide mode.

Xiaomi has unveiled a new air fryer featuring 11 cooking functions, including steaming and sous vide mode. The appliance features an integrated 1.5-litre water tank, positioned on the top of the unit, making it easy to access and refill.
It’s not the first time we’ve seen an air fryer introduce a steaming function, with the Philips Airfryer 5000 Series Air Fryer and Steamer offering something similar. However, the addition of a dedicated sous vide setting is far more unusual, and could hint at a new direction for the best air fryers in general.
The new Mijia Smart Air Fryer Pro Steam & Roast Version 6.5L is currently available exclusively in China through crowdfunding, with an early pledge price of CNY 559 or around $81. It’s expected to retail at CNY 749 (around $109) once officially released, although it’s not yet clear whether the model will launch in other global markets.
The Mijia Smart Air Fryer Pro offers a temperature range between 30°C and 230°C, allowing it to handle everything from low-temperature cooking to high-heat crisping. It also features a 360° hot-air circulation system, designed to distribute heat evenly for more consistent results, and its steaming function can reach 130°C.
Like many of the brand’s smart home devices, the fryer supports Xiaomi HyperOS Connect, meaning it can be monitored and controlled remotely through the Xiaomi app. For those who prefer hands-on adjustments, there’s also a built-in front dial that allows you to tweak settings directly on the appliance.
