The catch
Typhur Dome 2
A 19.7-inch width means it takes up a lot of counter space.
Side by side
Typhur Dome 2 vs Sync: Sync covers less counter but is 3.4 inches taller
Quick verdict
Dome 2 is the right fit for flatter foods, bottom heat and its internal cleaning cycle. Sync AF13 is the right fit for probe-guided proteins and a deeper eight-quart basket. It uses about 25% less nominal counter area yet stands 3.4 inches taller, so check the height you have before you count it as the smaller option.
Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
About 25% less nominal counter area goes to Sync
Its listed base covers approximately 229 square inches, against 307 for Dome. The saving is about 78 square inches, before ventilation or drawer clearance is added.
Where this comes from
12.6 × 18.2 = 229.32 square inches, and 19.7 × 15.6 = 307.32. The reduction works out to 78 ÷ 307.32 = 25.4%.
The catch
Typhur Sync 8-Quart
The broad basket is bulky, and being a single basket it cannot run separate settings.
Typhur Dome 2
- Why pick it
- Flat foods that do well with top and bottom heat are a staple for you.
- Your counter is wide, and the internal cleaning cycle appeals to you.
- The catch
- A 19.7-inch width means it takes up a lot of counter space.
Typhur Sync 8-Quart
- Why pick it
- You'd use the included wireless probe to judge meat doneness.
- A smaller base footprint is your preference, and you cook taller foods.

In practice
Differences you will notice
About 25% less nominal counter area goes to Sync
Its listed base covers approximately 229 square inches, against 307 for Dome. The saving is about 78 square inches, before ventilation or drawer clearance is added.
How we worked this out
12.6 × 18.2 = 229.32 square inches, and 19.7 × 15.6 = 307.32. The reduction works out to 78 ÷ 307.32 = 25.4%.
Sync is taller by 3.4 inches
Having the smaller base won't make it easier to slide under every cupboard. On a counter where height is the limit, Dome can still be the better pick.
How we worked this out
13.7 minus 10.3 equals 3.4 inches. The figures are body dimensions and leave out the operating clearances that are required.
A flatter meal can still be well served by the lower quart count
Sync has a deeper eight-quart chamber, while Dome's shallow layout and bottom element give it a different role. Looking only at capacity misses that difference.
How we worked this out
Basket architecture and heating placement together lead to this conclusion. No tested cooking-speed or food-quality advantage is inferred.

Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | Typhur Dome 2 | Typhur Sync 8-Quart | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 5.6 quarts | 8 quarts | Sync's larger volume is laid out differently and does not simply spread over a wider floor. |
| Heat arrangement | Top and bottom elements | Top heating | For suitable flatter foods, Dome adds heat from below. |
| Temperature probe | Compatible thermometer sold separately | Wireless probe included | Probe-guided cooking is a need Sync serves directly. |
| Listed base dimensions | 19.7 × 15.6 inches | 12.6 × 18.2 inches | Less nominal counter area goes to Sync. |
| Body height | 10.3 inches | 13.7 inches | More vertical room is needed for Sync, even with the smaller footprint. |
| Cleaning assistance | Internal self-cleaning cycle | Dishwasher-safe removable parts | Washing the basket is not replaced by Dome's internal cycle. |
Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With Typhur Dome 2
- Washing the basket is still on you. The self-clean cycle won't do it.
With Typhur Sync 8-Quart
- Independent testing showed meaningful swings in temperature. The probe also makes setup more involved.
Decision guide
How to decide
Let your usual food pick the basket shape. Dome's wide, shallow layout and Sync's deeper, probe-equipped basket suit different meals.
Food height may outweigh quarts
Space for a whole chicken is shaped differently from space for a flat pizza. For taller proteins, Sync's deeper cooking chamber is the more natural place to begin. Dome spreads its capacity over a shallow area, which helps with flat foods and browning. Don't pick either model from its quart count without checking the shape of your food.
A smaller footprint, but a taller body
Sync frees up more counter area but takes up more vertical space. Under cupboards that matters, particularly after you add the ventilation clearances from the manual. Measure the width, depth and height you have. Do not trust a single label like compact, and leave a safe spot for the hot basket.
Automation does not end the washing
The internal cleaning cycle on Dome deals with the interior of the appliance, and the removable parts are left out. Sync's probe gives you doneness information, but it is also another item to clean and store. Go for the help that spares you the most trouble in your own routine, and plan on ordinary basket cleaning with either model.
What this page can’t tell you
- Ventilation, cords and room to open the basket are not part of the footprint calculations.
- This comparison leaves out the pizza-size examples, because Typhur's Sync page gives conflicting ones.

How we countedThe count uses each product's current fit ratings for “Temperature control is important to me”, “I don't want to keep shaking the food”, and “I can't stand hard cleanup”. A need with no documented match is not counted.
How we calculatedOnly quart figures go into this median. Oven cavities listed in liters or cubic feet are left out, since they do not compare directly with basket capacity. For context, 29 of 35 models publish comparable figures.
