The published figures

Our air fryer listings and their PFAS position

Titles are transcribed as published. Whether a document exists behind a title claim is a question for the supplier, not something a listing can answer.

What PFAS is, and why it landed on cookware

PFAS is a family of fluorinated compounds used in non-stick coatings, greaseproof paper and many packaging materials. The concern that reached buyers is that some PFAS compounds are persistent in the environment and in the human body.

The result has been a wave of US state-level restrictions on PFAS in food packaging and cookware, and a corresponding question from European and North American retailers: can you supply documentation for the coating and the packaging in this product?

PFAS-Free in a title is not the same as a certificate

This is the part worth being precise about. A listing title is a marketing statement. What a retailer needs is a document.

The two documents that matter are different things. One is a **PFAS declaration for the non-stick coating** — the statement that the coating system contains no PFAS. The other is a **PFAS declaration or test report for food-contact packaging**, which covers the carton, the greaseproof liner and any printed film.

A supplier who puts PFAS-Free in a title and can produce the second document is rare. A supplier who puts it in a title and cannot is quietly transferring the problem to you.

What to ask for

Ask for two documents, not one: the PFAS declaration for the coating system, and the PFAS position for the food-contact packaging including the carton and any liner. Then ask which laboratory issued them and whether the report names your configuration.

The second question is the one that separates a real declaration from a generic one. A report that names a different capacity or a different coating colour does not cover the unit in your carton.

Our compliance page lists the marks we hold and, importantly, the ones we do not — ISO 9001, BSCI, FCC, SAA, PSE and INMETRO are named by third-party databases but not by either of our own channels, so they are not listed. See the compliance page.

Where this fits in a range

Air fryers are an adjacent category on this site rather than one of the three primary lines, but they are the category where the listings are most detailed. Our published range is on the price and MOQ reference.

Where the figures behind this came from

Every number on this page traces to one of these.

• What 20 bar actually means on an espresso machine2026-10-10Every espresso listing on our storefront states a bar figure, and the number means less than buyers assume. Here is what it does and does not tell you, and which of the published figures to trust.
• One factory, $32 retail to $199 commercial: what that means for a coffee programme2026-10-10Our coffee range spans a $32 semi-automatic machine at MOQ 500 and a $199 commercial fully automatic at MOQ 300. Most suppliers occupy one end of that. Here is why serving both changes a programme.
• ETL and VDE on one grill listing: what a buyer should notice2026-10-10Our 4-slice contact grill listing names CE, CB and ETL directly and carries a detachable VDE plug. Both details change what you can do with the product after you order it.
• A pizza function is not a pizza maker: reading the price gap correctly2026-10-10Our pizza listings span $35 to $85.80 and they are three different products. Reading the price gap as a specification gap is the mistake that costs a buyer the wrong shelf.
• Our own factory figures disagree with each other. Here is how we handle it2026-10-10Our corporate site says 30,000 m² and 90 senior engineers. Our Global Sources profile says 16,000 m² and 20. Both are ours. This is how we publish that, and why.
• How to tell if a Chinese coffee maker supplier is a factory or a trading company2026-10-16A supplier's own category listing tells you more than its company description does. Here are five checks that separate a factory from an intermediary, in the order that produces an answer fastest.
• Verifying an NRTL listing is real: UL, ETL and the databases that check them2026-10-16An ETL or UL mark on a listing title is not a listing you can verify. Here is how to find the certificate, what to read on it, and why a listing title is the weakest evidence of a listing.
• The spare parts clause: how to structure free-of-charge parts in a coffee machine contract2026-10-16Free spare parts are easy to agree verbally and expensive to dispute. What matters is not the percentage — it is the part number list, the years, the claim window and the freight term.
• Vibration pump lifetime: what to ask a supplier, and why the answer is usually a number they cannot prove2026-10-16Pump life claims are the least verifiable specification on a coffee machine. Here is what a test record should contain, why cycles alone do not mean lifespan, and the three documents that make the claim checkable.
• Food-contact material documents for espresso machines: what to request and what each one proves2026-10-16A food-contact declaration is not a test report, and the gap between them is where most importers get caught. Here is what each document type proves, which market asks for which, and what our own documents cover.
• California Proposition 65 and small kitchen appliances: when it does not apply, and when it does2026-10-16Prop 65 is a warning regime, not a certification. Here is how it actually attaches to a small appliance, why the brass boiler question applies to very few importers, and what to do when you are not sure which case you are in.
• What actually determines units per container: why the unit count is the last question, not the first2026-10-16Nobody can tell you how many units fit in a 40ft HQ without the carton dimensions. Here are the variables that actually move the number, and the three figures you need before any loading plan is worth reading.
• UL 1082 and coffee maker safety standards: scope, the other standards, and what to request2026-10-16One standard number does not cover a coffee machine range. Here is what a drip maker, an espresso machine and a commercial unit each sit under, and the four fields to check on whatever certificate a supplier hands you.
• ISTA 3A vs Amazon SIPP: what each drop test is for, and why the report matters more than the standard name2026-10-16Two drop tests answer two different questions about the same box. Here is which is which, what belongs in a report, and what a packaging supplier must confirm before a container is worth its freight.
• Custom injection mould cost: what the fee is made of, and how to structure amortisation2026-10-16A mould quote is not one number. It is a structure of cavities, steel, finish, trials and lead time — and amortisation terms decide whether that structure helps you or traps you.
• Tooling ownership in a manufacturing contract: the clauses that decide who owns the mould2026-10-16Tooling ownership is rarely about the clause text. It is about what happens when the relationship ends. Here are the fields that decide it, and why governing law belongs in a separate conversation.
• Tracing who actually manufactures a branded product: what you can verify, and what you cannot2026-10-16Questions about which factories make for which brands cannot be answered from public information — and anyone who gives you a confident answer is guessing. Here is what is verifiable, how to trace a supply chain within the law, and why guessing is a bad basis for a decision.
• How to Select a Coffee Machine Price Band for Saudi Tabby and Tamara?2026-10-22Saudi split-payment limits are not one number. Tabby's consumer finance licence reaches SAR 50,000, but the published terms at major Saudi retail partners cap financed baskets at SAR 9,000. A coffee machine above that ceiling needs a different route to market.
• How to Select a BIS-Certified Coffee Maker for India under IS 302?2026-10-22Electric coffee makers sold in India need BIS certification under IS 302 (Part 1):2024, and coffee makers carry a product-specific part on top. The 2026 Quality Control Order replaced the 2025 Order and applies to general enterprises from 1 October 2026.
• Which Coffee Machine Categories Should You Not Buy from Us?2026-10-22Anbo United makes seven household appliance categories and 22 models. We do not make Arabic coffee machines, dual-boiler commercial machines, multi-ingredient vending machines or South Indian filter coffee machines. Here is the boundary, and what to do instead.
