CT-606 (Large-Capacity All-Round Model | $6,080): Upgraded to 6 sugar jars and a large 12 kg sugar capacity, with up to 136 shapes + 2 toppings to greatly reduce refilling frequency.

CT-608 (Top-Spec Self-Cleaning Flagship | $6,800): The highest-spec model in the range, with 144 shapes + DIY, an eye-catching 2.63 m-high lightbox with illuminated lettering, and an exclusive automatic front-window water-spray cleaning function that keeps the display window clear and clean at all times. The internal Burner（ Spinning head/ Heating head/ Spinner head) still requires regular maintenance. Designed for premium malls and flagship locations.
