By 2026, home renovation trends are increasingly shifting toward younger, quality-focused lifestyles, with open kitchens gaining popularity due to their spacious layouts and efficient traffic flow. However, a persistent pain point remains: even with high-suction range hoods, fumes from Chinese-style stir-frying can easily escape and spread into living and dining areas, hindering the widespread adoption of open kitchens. To address this user issue, Vatti is set to launch a new product, the Vatti Flying Saucer K30 range hood, brand ambassador Zhang Linghe's signature model. The product is said to achieve comprehensive upgrades in three key areas: smoke-collecting structure, power performance, and cleaning experience, offering a more mature solution for overall smoke control in open kitchen scenarios.
31 Million Units of Market Traction, Upgrade of a Proven Hit
A new product's quick market acceptance often relies on the user reputation and technological foundation of its predecessor. Since its debut, the Vatti Flying Saucer series has quickly won consumer approval with its distinctive ultra-thin design and solid smoke control performance. The Flying Saucer MAX was the top seller in its category upon launch, and the entire series has now surpassed 310,000 units in cumulative terminal sales. Behind this massive volume is data from hundreds of thousands of real cooking scenarios. Leveraging extensive user feedback and operational data, Vatti's R&D team has precisely identified core pain points in open kitchens, ensuring that every upgrade to the Flying Saucer K30 is grounded in evidence and targeted.
Cross-Industry Collaboration with 'This Moment Overdone' Gives Kitchens New 'Control' Meaning
As a standout summer hit, the drama This Moment Overdone, starring Vatti brand ambassador Zhang Linghe, has swept major charts with its tight plot and nuanced performances, achieving over 660 million effective views and more than 4,600 trending topics nationwide. The character Murong Qingyi, played by Zhang, has garnered over 100 million views, becoming one of the summer's most talked-about screen personas. Notably, the Flying Saucer K30, as Zhang Linghe's model, aligns ingeniously with the drama's core theme. The narrative revolves around controlling emotions and situations, which extends to the home cooking environment—where fumes from stir-frying can also require strong 'control.' With its robust ability to 'gather, draw, and expel,' the Vatti Flying Saucer K30 ensures total control over kitchen fumes. Through this collaboration, Vatti concretely conveys the K30's core capability of comprehensive smoke control, extending 'control' from the screen to the real kitchen, giving open kitchens a new meaning of 'control.'
Three-Dimensional Comprehensive Iteration: Flying Saucer K30 Targets Open Kitchen Pain Points
Research indicates that open kitchens face three persistent challenges: fumes spreading and polluting the entire home, backflow from high-rise ducts causing cross-contamination, and difficult-to-clean internal oil residue. The Flying Saucer K30 has undergone a comprehensive iteration to address these long-standing issues. Building on the cloud plate design from the first generation, the K30 features a structural overhaul: the smoke-blocking cloud plate is significantly widened, upgraded to a new top and side dual-suction structure, with four independent suction chambers integrated inside. The unit now includes side smoke-blocking glass panels, which, combined with the cloud plate's negative pressure design, create a wrap-around fume control barrier above the stove. The central chamber draws in fumes rising vertically, while the side panels prevent lateral oil and smoke diffusion. Test data shows that under extreme conditions like flipping a wok while stir-frying, there is no lateral fume spread, and no significant odor remains in living or dining areas, effectively blocking fume escape at the source.
Additionally, the Flying Saucer K30 is equipped with a new variable-frequency power system, with key parameters seeing major improvements: airflow has increased from 26 m³/min to 30 m³/min, enabling rapid air exchange in the combined kitchen-dining space and quickly clearing dense fumes from stir-frying; static pressure has been upgraded from 1000 Pa to 1400 Pa, completely solving the problem of duct odor for high-rise residents. To ease user burden, the K30 features Vatti's fifth-generation patented steam-water cleaning technology: 110°C high-temperature steam dissolves stubborn oil, followed by 80°C high-pressure hot water to thoroughly flush internal components. The entire cleaning cycle takes just 8 minutes, with a cleaning efficiency of 99.2%. The unit also incorporates nano-anti-stain technology, making oil residue easy to wipe off without leaving marks, simplifying daily maintenance.
From the market breakthrough of the first-generation Flying Saucer to the complete upgrade of the K30, Vatti continues to innovate based on real Chinese cooking scenarios. The cumulative sales of 310,000 units are a direct recognition of the product's development approach by the market and consumers, and a strong testament to Vatti's product philosophy of 'easy to use, good-looking, and easy to clean.' The Vatti Flying Saucer K30 is set to officially launch soon. As a targeted solution for open kitchen scenarios, the product is expected to further drive market penetration of the Flying Saucer series, offering families seeking quality living a more reliable fume management experience.
