Ideas often strike away from the office, the company says

According to LEITZ, flashes of inspiration tend to arrive in the shower, on the commute, or over coffee -- moments when a laptop typically isn't within reach.

The flagship FeastTM Dual-Zone Crispy-Tender air fryer uses a 'Dual-Drive' airflow system with two independent air circuits to limit flavor transfer between foods cooked simultaneously. Its CrispZone relies on 18 wide blades and a vertical 3D airflow to cut oil use by up to 88.5%, according to Dreame Lab testing, while the TenderZone uses 20 high-density fan blades for horizontal airflow that locks in moisture. A SYNC cooking system paired with two extra racks lets users prepare two different flavors and up to four dishes at once.

Designed for households with balcony solar setups, the Brio system lets users store surplus solar electricity generated during the day and use it later, rather than losing unused output back to the grid. ABOK says this can significantly increase how much self-generated solar power a household actually consumes.
