It is a tough proposition to live in an apartment, particularly in metro cities like Delhi and Bangalore. You can observe the kitchen heating up instantly when you turn on the stove. With the rise in steam, you can feel warm air hovering around. It has been observed that most of the compact kitchens in our country have a dearth of proper ventilation.
You can see a small window here and there, but it is not enough most of the time. Without any built-in cooling, the heat builds quickly and stays trapped. For homes like these, having a smart cooling option that fits easily into the kitchen setup makes a real difference.
That is where the Duet i kitchen fan comes in: it is a portable kitchen fan designed especially for Indian homes.
What makes Indian kitchens feel so uncomfortable once you start cooking?
The reason can be attributed to the heat coming out of the stove, rising steam, and strong odors that accumulate with the growing temperatures in the confined space. This is where having proper ventilation or airflow can help avoid warmth and moisture so that your kitchen does not become a hot and sticky place.
Why do modern homes not have spacious kitchens anymore?
Many modern Indian apartments, small houses, or rented flats don’t have large exhaust chimneys, big windows, or space for bulky fans. Things get tougher when there’s no inverter-friendly fan to rely on during power cuts.
What works best is a kitchen fan that is small in size, big on performance, and safe to use while cooking.
What is Duet‑i? In short, it’s India’s first kitchen cooling fan built for modern kitchens, especially small ones. It’s not just any fan; it is a cooling device + fan + mini evaporative cooler hybrid. Made by Symphony, the Duet‑i kitchen cooling fan is for anyone who wants relief from heat while cooking, without compromising space, style, or safety.
If your kitchen is around 10 m² (≈110 sq ft), it’s designed to work well in that sort of space.
Here are the “must‑haves” that Duet‑i delivers, and how they match what Indian kitchens often need:

|
Ice chamber + decent water tank |

Has a dedicated ice chamber + ~6 L water tank |
|
Energy efficient / inverter compatible |
Lower electricity bills & usable even when power fluctuates. |

|
Safety + durability |
Kitchens are messy: grease, splashes, heat. Fans need to withstand that. |
Water‑proof & shock‑resistant body |
Ordinary fans (ceiling, wall, stand) primarily move air. They don’t cool humid air, don’t humidify/dissipate heat from cooking unevenly, often blow directly on the flame, disturb spices, and so on.
Duet‑i combines fan + evaporative cooling: The 3‑side cooling pads plus the ice chamber + water tank help the fan deliver cooler air. And with features like touch control kitchen fan, portability, slim design, and oscillation, you get a functionality set not common in regular fans.
Also, many ordinary fans are high‑wattage, loud, or not safe in humid/oily environments. Duet‑i explicitly addresses these with lower power, gentler air flow, and a durable body.
In a small rented kitchen, you can place Duet‑i on the slab, maybe near the stove, and still cook without being drenched in sweat, during summer mornings or afternoons.
For people who often cook outdoor‑style food (tadka, frying, chapatis): the gentle air throw ensures that flame isn’t blown out, spices don’t scatter, and oil splatter is less disturbing.
During power cuts (frequent in many places), since Duet‑i is energy efficient and inverter compatible, it can run longer or more reliably than many ordinary fans.
Users report it’s easy to refill, move, and clean. The touch panel adds convenience. Unlike many fans that look industrial or awkward, this one feels right at home in a stylish, well-designed kitchen.
Here are some questions you may have, answered in brief:
A: One that provides cooling without disturbing flame/spices, is energy‑efficient, durable in humid/heat conditions, compact in size, and easy to use. Duet‑i checked all those boxes.
A: Yes, because it doesn’t just blow air; it cools via water + ice chamber, oscillates for airflow, and is designed to rest nearby without blowing flame away.
A: Not with Duet‑i, since it uses around 45 watts under standard test conditions. That’s low compared with many traditional fans or air conditioners.
Cooking in a compact Indian kitchen doesn’t have to mean swampy heat, discomfort, or spoiled recipes. A stylish kitchen fan for modern kitchens, a portable kitchen fan, an energy efficient kitchen fan, these are not nice‑to‑haves anymore, they’re essentials.
Duet‑i stands out as a practical solution: small footprint, strong cooling, safe design, touch controls, ice‑chamber bonus, all while being gentle and respectful of what matters in Indian kitchens (taste, flame, spices).
