Xiaomi aerogrils have long ceased to be exotic in the Russian market — they have become one of the most popular kitchen gadgets due to the combination of manufacturability, compactness and affordable price. However, when choosing a model, many people are faced with the question: how much weighs a Xiaomi aerogrill and how this parameter affects usability? After all, weight depends not only on the ease of moving the device around the kitchen, but also its stability during operation, as well as compatibility with shelves or countertops.
In this article, we will analyze in detail the weight characteristics of all current models of Xiaomi aerogrills (including Mi Smart Air Fryer, Mijia and other series), compare them with analogues of other brands, and give practical recommendations for choosing depending on your needs.
Why Air Grill Weight Is Important: 5 Key Factors
At first glance, the weight of a kitchen appliance may seem like a secondary characteristic, but in the case of Xiaomi aerogrills, this parameter directly affects:
- 🔹 Stability during operation: Lightweight models (up to 3 kg) can vibrate or shift when blown intensively, especially if cooking is at maximum power.
- 🔹 Safety: Heavy aerogrills (5 kg or more) are harder to overturn by accident, which is critical in homes with children or animals.
- 🔹 Mobility: If you plan to move the appliance frequently (e.g., to clean the closet after use), a compact model weighing 2-3 kg will be optimal.
- 🔹 Furniture compatibility: Some countertops or shelves have load restrictions (e.g. glass surfaces).
- 🔹 The weight often reflects the build quality: cheap plastic models are lighter, but less durable than metal ones.
In addition, weight indirectly signals the power of the device, as a rule, heavier aerogrils are equipped with powerful fans and heating elements, which affects the speed of cooking and the uniformity of heating. For example, the Xiaomi Mi Smart Air Fryer Pro model weighs 1-1.5 kg more than the base version thanks to the reinforced engine and additional thermal insulation.
⚠️ Note: If you are choosing an aerogrill for a small kitchen with limited space, consider that models weighing more than 4 kg can be uncomfortable for frequent movement.
Weight of Xiaomi air grills by models: a comparative table
Below are the latest data on the weight of Xiaomi’s most popular aerogrills for 2026, based on official manufacturer specifications and independent tests. Please note that weight may vary slightly (±50-100 g) depending on the configuration (for example, the availability of additional accessories).
| Model | Volume of bowl (L) | Weight (kg) | Power (W) | Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Xiaomi Mi Smart Air Fryer 3.5L | 3.5 | 2.8 | 1500 | The basic model, compact, suitable for 1-2 people |
| Xiaomi Mi Smart Air Fryer Pro 4L | 4.0 | 3.5 | 1800 | Improved blowing, touch control, Mi Home support |
| Xiaomi Mijia Air Fryer 5.5L | 5.5 | 4.2 | 1700 | Large bowl, suitable for family, metal body |
| Xiaomi Smart Air Fryer 6.5L | 6.5 | 5.0 | 2000 | Premium segment, two-level basket, automatic stirring |
| Xiaomi Deerma Air Fryer 4L | 4.0 | 3.1 | 1600 | Budget line, simple mechanical adjustment |
Important: Xiaomi’s Smart Air Fryer 6.5L weighs 20 to 30 percent more than its equivalent bowl size, thanks to its built-in automatic mixing and enhanced thermal insulation, the only model in the lineup where the increased weight is justified by additional features, not just dimensions.
How weight affects functionality: analysis on examples
To understand why the weight of Xiaomi aerogrills varies so much, consider the relationship of this parameter with key technical characteristics in specific examples.
1. Power and heating speed
Models with power over 1800W (such as the Mi Smart Air Fryer Pro 4L) are usually heavier due to:
- 🔌 A more massive heating element (often ceramic or quartz).
- 💨 Reinforced fan with metal blades (instead of plastic).
- 🛡️ Additional thermal insulation of the housing, preventing overheating of external surfaces.
Such aerogrills are heated faster and cooked evenly, but their weight can reach 4-5 kg.
Materials of the shell
Cheap models (such as the Deerma Air Fryer 4L) are often made of thin plastic, which reduces weight to 3 kg, but impairs durability. Premium versions (like the Smart Air Fryer 6.5L) use:
- 🔩 Stainless steel for the inner bowl and cover.
- 🧲 Magnetic seals for tightness.
- 🔥 Heat-resistant glass in the observation window.
This increases weight, but it guarantees reliability and safety.
💡
If you often cook fatty meals (such as wings or bacon), choose a model with a metal bowl - it is heavier, but it is easier to wash and it does not absorb odors.
Additional functions
Functions like automatic stirring (Auto-Stir in Smart Air Fryer 6.5L) or built-in steamers require additional mechanisms, which inevitably affects the mass.
- 🤖 The mixing mechanism adds ~500g to total weight.
- ☁️ Humidity and temperature sensors (in smart models) +200-300g.
- 📱 Wi-Fi module for control over Mi Home – about 100 g.
⚠️ Note: If you choose an aerogrill for a summer cottage or temporary use (for example, in a rented apartment), prefer lightweight models weighing up to 3 kg. They are easier to transport and less sensitive to vibrations during transportation.
Comparison with competitors: Xiaomi vs Redmond, Philips, Kitfort
To assess how much Xiaomi aerogrills compare favorably (or inferior) in weight, compare them with popular counterparts of other brands. For objectivity, take models with a similar bowl volume (4-5 liters).
| Brand and model | Volume (l) | Weight (kg) | Power (W) | Advantages |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Xiaomi Mi Smart Air Fryer Pro 4L | 4.0 | 3.5 | 1800 | Smart management, compactness, price |
| Redmond SkyFryer F280 | 4.3 | 4.1 | 1700 | Metal case, 8 automatic programs |
| Philips HD9220/20 | 4.1 | 5.2 | 1425 | TwinTurboStar Technology, Premium Assembly |
| Kitfort KT-2202 | 5.0 | 3.8 | 1700 | Budget price, mechanical control |
The table shows that Xiaomi offers one of the lightest aerogrills in its class (3.5 kg vs. 4-5 kg of competitors) without losing power, making them ideal for:
- 🏠 Small kitchens where every centimeter of space is important.
- 🚗 Frequent trips (for example, picnics or visits).
- 💰 Buyers looking for a balance between price and functionality.
However, if you want maximum reliability and are willing to sacrifice mobility, models from Philips or Redmond weighing 4-5 kg will be preferred due to the more durable materials.
💡
Xiaomi aerogrils are 20-30% lighter than their counterparts with similar characteristics, which makes them the leader in terms of weight, power and price.
How to choose a Xiaomi air grill by weight: a step-by-step guide
To avoid making the wrong choice, follow this algorithm:
- Determine the purpose of use: 🍟 For cooking snacks (fries, nuggets) - enough model up to 3.5 kg. 🍗 For full meals (chicken, fish, pastries) - choose 4-5 kg. 👨👩👧👦 For a family of 4+ human being - 5.5-6.5 kg.
- Check the strength of the countertop: 🪑 Glass or brittle surfaces may not be able to withstand a weight of more than 4 kg. 🛠️ If in doubt, use a stand made of wood or metal.
Evaluate the need for additional functions
- 📱 Smart management (Mi Home) adds ~100-200g.
- 🔄 Auto-mixing — +500g.
Why do some Xiaomi aerogrills weigh more than claimed?
If you are in doubt between two models with similar characteristics, prefer the one that is heavier by 200-300 g – usually this indicates better materials and better thermal insulation.
