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.

我搞不懂这个。这款由中国家电品牌

美的（Midea）

生产的空气炸锅烤箱

被

The Kitchn

评选为最佳展示产品，它有法式门。

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.

看在上帝的份上，为什么？厚实的把手不仅遮挡了视线，而且增加了一定程度的制造复杂性;门由一个机械装置连接，这样打开一个，就打开了另一个。

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."

如果我从表面上看产品副本，似乎他们试图以某种方式丰富用户体验。他们将门的设计称为“优雅”，然后写道：“这款精致的电器采用了一拉双开门系统，将别致的美学与无与伦比的实用性完美融合。"

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.

I've seen these in commercial use. In a fast paced kitchen, a flopping single door is unweidy with two hands on a hot tray. Like others have said, there's the space savings too.
