The Happy Onion™ is a dual-function kitchen device designed to enhance everyday cooking experiences. It addresses two common kitchen challenges: the discomfort of chopping onions and the rapid spoilage of fresh produce.
In Chopping Mode, activated by a single button, the device utilizes a quiet internal fan and carbon filter to draw in and absorb onion fumes, dispersing onion gas away from the face, preventing eye irritation. A calming blue LED indicates active use, ensuring a comfortable cooking environment.
Switching to Preserve Mode, the device intermittently filters ethylene gas emitted by fruits, slowing down spoilage and extending freshness. A soft yellow LED signals this mode, promoting sustainability by reducing food waste.
The Happy Onion™ features an onion-inspired silhouette with a matte finish and a friendly, anthropomorphic design, encouraging users to keep it on display. Available in colors reflecting real onion varieties and a premium stainless steel edition, it complements various kitchen aesthetics.
USB-C rechargeable and easy to maintain, The Happy Onion™ combines functionality with emotional design, transforming mundane kitchen tasks into delightful experiences.
