SEVEN APPLIANCES, ONE DOOR
An air fryer that is also a proper oven
The DNA Airfryer Oven Lean Edition does the job of seven appliances from one 14.5-litre cavity: it air fries, roasts, bakes, grills, dehydrates, toasts and keeps food warm, and it turns a whole chicken on its own rotisserie. Where a basket air fryer gives you one drawer, this gives you shelves, a glass door and room to cook a meal rather than a portion.
It is built like the oven it replaces. The inner cavity is stainless steel, the housing is steel and the door is tempered glass, so you can watch food brown without opening it and letting the heat out. On the counter it takes roughly the footprint of a microwave.
The Lean Edition is DNA’s current version of the oven, supplied with the eight accessories you will actually use rather than a drawer full of extras. Everything that does the cooking — the element, the fan, the 14.5-litre cavity and the 16 presets — is the full machine.
Seven appliances in one 14.5-litre oven: air fry the chips, roast the chicken on the rotisserie, and dry the fruit overnight — with a fraction of the oil.
RAPID AIR
Crisp outside and moist inside, with a spoonful of oil
Rapid Air is DNA’s name for the fan and element working together: super-heated air is driven around the cavity so every surface of the food cooks at once rather than from the bottom up. That is what browns chips, crisps chicken skin and roasts vegetables without a pan of oil.
DNA quotes up to 80% less fat, in about half the time of a conventional oven. The fat figure is the difference between frying in oil and cooking in hot air; the time saving comes from a small cavity that heats quickly, with the fan doing the work a large oven does slowly.
The rotisserie is where the design shows. A whole chicken turns through 360 degrees on the spit, basting itself as it goes, while the fan crisps the skin evenly all round. DNA’s own roast-chicken film, in the questions below, shows the whole process.
THE CONTROLS
16 presets, 40 to 220 °C, and a timer that runs to eight hours
Everything is set on a glass digital touch panel. Sixteen presets cover the common jobs, each with its time and temperature already set, so chips, chicken, fish or a pizza are one touch away. When you want control, set your own temperature anywhere from 40 to 220 °C.
The timer runs from one minute to eight hours, and that range is what makes the dehydrator real rather than a label. Low heat for hours is how fruit leather, dried herbs, meat strips and crisp apple rings are made, and the oven holds a low temperature for as long as the job needs.
At the top of the range, 220 °C is hot enough to grill and to put a proper crust on a pizza. The glass door lets you judge the finish by eye rather than by opening it and losing the heat.
WHAT IT MAKES
Chips on a Tuesday, a whole chicken on Sunday
Weeknights are where it earns its place: chips, wings, fish and roast vegetables in less time than the big oven takes to heat, with far less oil and nothing splashing on the stove.
Weekends are where the size tells. A whole chicken on the rotisserie, a pork roast, a pizza on the rack, or kingklip with cherry tomatoes — DNA has filmed each of these in this oven.
Then there is the slow work nobody does in a full-size oven: dried orange slices for the tea tin, apple rings for the lunchboxes, herbs from the garden. Set a low temperature, walk away, and let the timer do the rest.
IN THE BOX
Eight accessories and a stainless cavity that wipes clean
The oven comes with a mesh rack, two mesh baskets, a wire rack, the rotisserie skewer and fork, a rolling cage for chips and nuts, a drip tray and a cage tong for lifting hot food out, plus DNA’s recipe book. That covers frying, roasting, the rotisserie and drying without buying anything else.
Cleaning is where many air fryers disappoint, and the stainless cavity is the reason this one does not. DNA’s routine is simple: unplug, let it cool, soak the accessories in warm soapy water, then wipe the inside and outside with a microfibre cloth, taking any food off the element the same way.
The drip tray catches what falls, so the cavity stays cleaner between washes, and nothing in the box needs special treatment. It is an oven you will use daily because it is easy to put away clean.
MADE FOR SOUTH AFRICAN POWER
Supplied for South African kitchens and South African mains
DNA Health is a South African company, and the Airfryer Oven is supplied for 220 V, 50–60 Hz mains with a South African plug — not a 120 V import that needs a transformer to run.
DNA rates it at 1,700 watts, a little less than a kettle and far less than a full-size oven heating a much larger space. If you want to cook through load-shedding on an inverter, check that yours can carry 1.7 kW for the length of the cook; many home backup systems sized for lights and Wi-Fi cannot.
Warranty and service are handled in South Africa by DNA Health, from Johannesburg and a Cape Town showroom and warehouse. DNA covers the appliance for two years and the accessories for one.

How the Airfryer Oven sits against the alternatives
Against a basket air fryer, the difference is capacity and flexibility. A drawer-style machine cooks one layer of food in one compartment; the Airfryer Oven has racks, a rotisserie and a glass door, so it roasts a whole chicken, bakes a pizza and dehydrates a full tray, which a basket cannot. If you only ever make chips for two, a basket fryer is smaller and simpler; if you want one appliance to take over most weeknight cooking from the oven, this is the one.
Within DNA’s range, the DNA Dual Airfryer Oven is the big brother: 36 litres that divide into two independent 18-litre zones, so two dishes cook at different temperatures at the same time. It costs more and draws up to 3,050 watts. For a large family or someone who entertains, it is worth the difference; for most households, 14.5 litres is plenty and the Lean Edition is the better buy.
Against a full-size oven, the Airfryer Oven heats a far smaller space, so it is ready sooner and draws less power for the same job, and it adds the rotisserie and a dehydrator most built-in ovens do not have. It will not take a large roasting tray or two sheets of biscuits at once — that is still the big oven’s job.
Questions we are asked about the DNA Airfryer Oven
It is DNA’s current version of the Airfryer Oven. The oven itself — the 14.5-litre stainless cavity, 1,700 W, 40–220 °C, 16 presets and the rotisserie — is the full machine. The Lean Edition ships with eight accessories, where the original came with a larger set.
Yes. The chicken goes on the rotisserie skewer and turns through 360 degrees while the fan crisps the skin all round. DNA’s own film shows a 1.2 kg chicken with vegetables, start to finish.
The cavity holds 14.5 litres: a whole chicken, a pizza, or chips and a tray of vegetables for a family of four. For larger quantities, look at the DNA Dual Airfryer Oven.
That is the point of it. Food is cooked by hot air rather than immersed in oil, and DNA quotes up to 80% less fat. Most dishes need no more than a light spray or a spoonful of oil to crisp.
Yes. Set it as low as 40 °C and leave the timer running for up to eight hours. That covers dried fruit, vegetable crisps, herbs and meat strips.
Unplug it and let it cool. Soak the accessories in warm soapy water, then wipe the stainless cavity, the element and the outside with a microfibre cloth or sponge. The drip tray catches most of what falls.
DNA’s figure for this oven body is about 37 by 33 by 38 cm, and it weighs around 11 kg. Leave space around the vents and room in front to open the door fully.
DNA rates it at 1,700 watts, drawn while it heats. Because the cavity is small it reaches temperature quickly, so most cooks use less energy than a full-size oven. On an inverter, check that yours can supply 1.7 kW for the length of the cook.
DNA Health covers the appliance for two years and the accessories for one year. Warranty and service are handled in South Africa from DNA’s Johannesburg base and its Cape Town showroom and warehouse.
