Main trade-off
Typhur Dome 2
Its 19.7-inch width demands substantial counter space.
Head-to-head
Typhur Dome 2 vs Sync: Sync uses less counter area but stands 3.4 inches taller
The short answer
Choose Dome 2 for flatter foods, bottom heat and its internal cleaning cycle. Choose Sync AF13 for probe-guided proteins and a deeper eight-quart basket. Sync uses about 25% less nominal counter area but stands 3.4 inches taller, so measure the available height before treating it as the smaller choice.
Before you choose
The reasoning and the trade-offs
Sync uses about 25% less nominal counter area
Its listed base occupies approximately 229 square inches versus Dome's 307. That frees about 78 square inches before adding ventilation or drawer clearance.
What this is based on
12.6 × 18.2 = 229.32 square inches. 19.7 × 15.6 = 307.32. The reduction is 78 ÷ 307.32 = 25.4%.
Main trade-off
Typhur Sync 8-Quart
Its broad single basket is bulky and cannot run separate settings.

About this comparison
Compare Typhur Dome 2 and Sync AF13 by food shape, probe control and counter footprint. Sync needs about 25% less nominal base area but stands taller.
Dome uses a wide, shallow basket and two-sided heating. Sync combines a deeper chamber with an included probe.

What matters in practice
The differences that matter
Sync uses about 25% less nominal counter area
Its listed base occupies approximately 229 square inches versus Dome's 307. That frees about 78 square inches before adding ventilation or drawer clearance.
How we reached this conclusion
12.6 × 18.2 = 229.32 square inches. 19.7 × 15.6 = 307.32. The reduction is 78 ÷ 307.32 = 25.4%.
Sync is 3.4 inches taller
The smaller base does not make it easier to fit under every cupboard. A height-constrained counter can still favor Dome.
How we reached this conclusion
13.7 minus 10.3 equals 3.4 inches. These are body dimensions, with required operating clearances excluded.
The lower quart count can still suit a flatter meal
Dome's shallow layout and bottom element give it a different role from Sync's deeper eight-quart chamber. Capacity alone would miss that distinction.
How we reached this conclusion
The conclusion combines basket architecture and heating placement. It does not infer a tested cooking-speed or food-quality advantage.

Meaningful differences
What changes the fit
| What changes | Typhur Dome 2 | Typhur Sync 8-Quart | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 5.6 quarts | 8 quarts | The larger Sync volume is arranged differently, not simply across a wider floor. |
| Heat arrangement | Top and bottom elements | Top heating | Dome adds heat from below for suitable flatter foods. |
| Temperature probe | Compatible thermometer sold separately | Wireless probe included | Sync directly serves the probe-guided cooking need. |
| Listed base dimensions | 19.7 × 15.6 inches | 12.6 × 18.2 inches | Sync takes less nominal counter area. |
| Body height | 10.3 inches | 13.7 inches | Sync needs more vertical room despite the smaller footprint. |
| Cleaning assistance | Internal self-cleaning cycle | Dishwasher-safe removable parts | Dome's internal cycle does not replace washing the basket. |
What you give up
Every choice has a cost
If you choose Typhur Dome 2
- The self-clean cycle does not replace washing the basket.
If you choose Typhur Sync 8-Quart
- Independent testing found meaningful temperature fluctuation, and the probe adds setup complexity.
What matters in practice
How to make the call
Choose the basket shape around your usual food. Dome's wide, shallow layout and Sync's deeper probe-equipped basket serve different meals.
Food height can matter more than quarts
A whole chicken and a flat pizza need different shapes of space. Sync's deeper cooking chamber is the more natural starting point for taller proteins. Dome spreads its capacity across a shallow area, useful for flat foods and browning. Avoid choosing either from the quart count without checking the food shape.
The smaller footprint comes with more height
Sync can leave more counter area available while occupying more vertical space. That matters beneath cupboards, especially once the manual's ventilation clearances are included. Measure the available width, depth and height rather than relying on a single label such as compact. Also leave a safe place to set the hot basket.
Automation still leaves washing to do
Dome's internal cleaning cycle addresses the appliance interior, not every removable part. Sync's probe adds doneness information but also becomes another item to clean and store. Choose the assistance that saves you trouble in your own routine, and keep ordinary basket cleaning part of either ownership plan.
What this comparison cannot tell you
- Footprint calculations exclude ventilation, cords and basket-opening space.
- Typhur's Sync page contains conflicting pizza-size examples, so this comparison does not use them.

Match countThe count uses the current product-to-need assignments for “I care about temperature control”, “I do not want to shake food often”, and “I hate difficult cleaning”. A need with no documented match does not count.
Calculation noteThis median uses quart figures only. Liter and cubic-foot oven cavities are excluded because they are not directly comparable with basket capacity. 29 of 35 models have comparable published figures for context.
