I can’t figure this one out. This Flexify Air Fryer Oven, by Chinese appliance brand Midea, was voted best-in-show by The Kitchn—and it has French doors.
For heaven’s sake, why? The chunky handles not only obscure the view, but add a degree of manufacturing complexity; the doors are linked by a mechanism, so that opening one, opens the other.
If I take the product copy at face value, it seems they’re trying to somehow enrich the UX. They refer to the door design as “elegant” before writing “This exquisite appliance features a one-pull, dual-opening door system, seamlessly blending chic aesthetics with unmatched practicality.”
The aesthetics is subjective, but “practicality” oughtn’t be, and I can’t puzzle out how the arrangement improves matters. If anything, having two doors on the side means it requires a greater distance to pull the food out and clear the appliance, versus a bottom-hinged door.
I don’t have air fryer experience. If you do, and there’s something in the process that you can see benefitting from this design, please do sound off.
