Indian home-appliance brand Kenstar has expanded its small domestic appliance portfolio with a new air fryer range covering more than 45 SKUs, one of the widest single-brand assortments announced in the Indian market this year. The line-up is split into five series — Star Chef Air Fryer cum Oven, Duo Feast Double Basket, Pure View All Glass, Daily Cook and Celebration Gifting — spanning capacities from 4.5 litres to 12 litres. Daily Cook targets everyday family cooking, Pure View uses a borosilicate glass bowl with a transparent chamber, Duo Feast carries dual baskets for simultaneous mains and sides, and Star Chef offers a larger multi-level oven format. The products are built on the brand's 360-degree Turbo Air and DuoCore Intelli Heating technology, support functions such as reheat, grill, toast, crispy fry, tandoor, dehydrate and bake, carry RoHS, ISI and ISO certification, ship with a two-year warranty, and are manufactured at Kenstar's Aurangabad facility for distribution through Amazon, quick-commerce platforms and modern trade.

The format mix matters more than the SKU count. Within the same month, Xiaomi introduced its Smart Double Stack Air Fryer 12L in Malaysia at RM899 (launch promo RM779), stacking two baskets vertically instead of side-by-side. The change lifted total capacity from 10L to 12L while cutting horizontal countertop footprint by roughly 35%, at 2,800W rated power, a 40°C–230°C temperature range, 14 preset modes and independent control of each basket with a Sync finish function. Two launches in two different markets point in the same direction: dual-basket has moved from a niche premium feature to a mainstream shelf expectation, and brand owners are now competing on how the second basket is packaged — vertically for compact urban kitchens, side-by-side for family-volume cooking.

Key facts at a glance

For importers and distributors, the read-out is a specification checklist rather than a price point. Dual-basket and glass-bowl visibility are now baseline expectations in India and ASEAN; buyers should confirm 220–240V compatibility, real usable basket capacity rather than nominal litres, independent zone control with a synchronised finish, dishwasher-safe food-contact coating documentation, and local service support. Certification remains the gate rather than the unit cost — RoHS, ISI and ISO for India, CE/CB/GS and LFGB for Europe, plus SASO, SAA or PSE where applicable — because documentation, not the lowest FOB, is what decides whether a shipment clears and a repeat order follows.

EPRO note: our 4L + 4L dual-basket platform (220–240V, 1800W, 8-in-1) sits directly in the band these two launches are competing over — two independently controlled zones with a synchronised finish, at a footprint designed for compact urban kitchens in India, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
