    Xiaomi MIJIA Air Fryer N1 5L Now Available for Pre-Order on JD

    Xiaomi has listed the yet-to-be-released MIJIA Air Fryer N1 5L version for pre-order on the popular Chinese online marketplace Jingdong (JD.com). The pre-order price for this household appliance starts at 199 yuan ($28).

    The company has not officially announced the product, and the pre-order webpage lacks an image. Nevertheless, we can infer some details from its predecessor, the MIJIA Air Fryer N1 5.5L, which was introduced last year. It is likely that the new product will maintain the same design as the 5.5L version, but with a more compact form factor since it is a 5L model. However, this won’t be Xiaomi’s smallest air fryer, as they also released a 4.5L version last year. The product page indicates that the device has a 1200W power rating and supports an internal temperature range of 40-220°C.

    Features and Specifications

    For comparison, the MIJIA Smart Air Fryer 5.5L includes an internal annular air duct system that allows hot air to circulate directly to the bottom. This design eliminates the need to turn over the food during cooking. Additionally, it features a built-in NTC smart temperature control to prevent burning and undercooking.

    The 5.5L smart air fryer is also equipped with a transparent window on the front, enabling users to monitor the cooking status of their ingredients at any time. It employs 1500W far-infrared heating, reaching a maximum temperature of 220°C. Moreover, it has a high-temperature degreasing mode to filter out extra fat.

    Smart Home Integration

    As with all Xiaomi smart home devices, the air fryer can be controlled via the MIJIA app and remotely through XiaoAI. More details about the product are expected to be released by the company in the coming days.
