Instant Pot Vortex Plus 6QT Air Fryer with Odor Erase Technology,6-in-1 Functions that Crisps,Roasts, Broils,Dehydrates, Bakes & Reheats, 100+In-App Recipes, from the Makers of Instant Pot,1700W,Black

Beware the cooking tray easily falls out when hot, even when inserted properly (arrows matching).Despite that issue, still a 5 star product so long as you are aware of the issue since the answer is simple: don’t tip things out of it.Otherwise, it’s a nice compact size and it’s extremely quiet! We can barely tell when it’s running, especially while other things are cooking on the stove, etc.I love the “light” so you can keep an eye on the food while it’s cooking. It’s also dead simple to use and doesn’t have any presets that I never use anyways.The odor eraser is “okay”. However, I’ve never owned any other air fryer that attempted to make this claim so can’t easily benchmark it against others. Compared to our last air fryer, it makes a noticeable difference, but I wouldn’t buy it expecting to never smell what’s cooking.Preheats quickly and seems to cook efficiently as food is always cooked based on the minimum time on the package so long as you don’t overcrowd it. I seem to get the crispiest results when whatever I’m cooking is fully in contact with the cooking tray. Therefore, I doubt the claim of cooking “2lbs of fries”, at least to a desirable texture.I admit I could be doing it wrong but I tried a bag of fries once and while cooked through, they were really limp and soggy. However, this was all true of my last air fryer as well so didn’t take off any stars.Definitely well worth the money and a great choice so long as you know the cooking tray will fall out if you try and tip it past 90° (especially while it’s hot) and that the odor eraser makes a noticeable difference, but it’s not magic, the smells will still linger but with less intensity.

We just love the Instant Pot Airfryer. We had previously used an airfryer oven. This one totally changed our daily cooking. Now we can quickly prepare food with cooking times way less than our convection oven, and do it without heating up the entire kitchen. It’s especially good at cooking prepared frozen foods like buffalo wings and battered fish that benefit from getting a crispy finish. The ability to crisp really helps when cooking French fries. Does a really good chile relleno. And now, we always cook our bacon in it using a parchment liner. A spritz of olive oil or avocado oil spray is usually all you need for healthy food. I’m not a great cook, but this product has made my meals edible.

I fully recognize I am about 20 years behind the air fryer eight ball! It seems as if everyone has an air fryer, and recipes are all over YouTube. Finally after persistent encouragement, I bit the bullet and ordered one. Of course as always, I read multiple reviews, watched YouTube videos, and sifted through all sorts of rankings on the Internet. Just trying it on for size, I did not want to spend a huge amount of money. This Instant Vortex 6 quart was on sale at a terrific price so with great reviews, it became the chosen one. It arrived on time, but admittedly the wait seemed long because once the decision was made, we wanted it now! The packaging was superb with no part of the appliance being damaged. After reading the accompanying information, she was finally plugged in, heated up, and ready for duty. Off we go!First experiment (you guessed it) was French fries...absolutely delicious...coming out crispy on the outside and nice and "potatoey" creamy on the inside. Looking back, I think we went through a 10 lb bag of potatoes that afternoon! Next came hamburgers, but the consensus was, "They were OK, but you can't really beat the grill." Number 3 on the menu was chicken tenders seasoned, floured, dredged in egg, floured again and into the air fryer...YUMMY! Again crispy on the outside but really moist and juicy on the inside. Without consulting the experts, shrimp were sprayed with avocado oil and even though delicious, we cooked them a bit too long (our fault not the fryer's). Itching to try something a little different, beef jerky made from flank stead won at number 4; all reported it was "fantastic." Each of these foods was placed directly on the tray and put into the air fryer. No parchment, pans, foil, or silicone baskets were used at all. The next question that arose was, "So what about eggs?" Let's just say the jury is still out as far as perfecting the time and temperature. But the taste, well it tastes just like a fried egg. We did learn that aluminum foil is better than the silicone basket for eggs.This air fryer is stainless steel, solidly and masterfully constructed, has 6 functions, and is one awesomely fabulous appliance! Once positioned it is stable sitting squarely on the counter top with a basket that pulls out to the front sporting a short but adequate cord. It is extremely user friendly and simple to operate. Preheating happens quickly with final heat ranging from 95 degrees to a maximum of 400 degree set with just a rotation of the dial; there is also built in shut off capability for safety and peace of mind. Clean up is very basic and simple; it is accomplished with a squirt of dish soap, hot water, swishing , rubbing with a cloth, rinsing and drying. No scrubbing or scraping needed. Because of the size and capabilities this air fryer would be a great asset in a small apartment kitchen, a first apartment, an RV, a tiny home, and even a “glamping” campsite. In our home it is rapidly becoming an indispensable kitchen appliance. I unequivocally recommend this air fryer.Top 3 Likes:-Easy, quick, simple, safe, and stress free-Stainless steel with 6 functions-Quality construction, stable, and heavy in a good wayTop 3 Dislikes:-No dislikes!

This air fryer is easy to use.It has a variety of different functions roast,reheat,bake and dehydrate as well as air fry .It has plenty of interior space in the cooking basket.I am very pleased with this air fryer.It has also been extensively tested and reviewed by staff At America’s Test Kitchen.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I’ve been using this Instant Vortex Plus for a few months now, and the see-through window with the interior light is honestly the feature I didn’t know I needed. Being able to watch my food crisp up without having to yank the basket out is super satisfying—and it actually helps prevent overcooking since you can just glance at it instead of guessing. It’s a small design choice, but it really sets this apart from other air fryers I’ve owned.That said, I do wish they made the metal grate easier to remove. It gets gunked up pretty quickly and it’s impossible to remove it when it’s hot because the handle is too small to grab with kitchen mitts on. For something that needs regular cleaning, it really should just slide or clip out more easily.Still, the performance is solid. Heats up fast, cooks evenly, and the presets are helpful without being overcomplicated. Just fix the tray removal and it’d be perfect.• Pros– See-through window with internal light is a game changer– Heats up quickly and cooks evenly– Sleek design, doesn’t take up too much space• Cons– Metal grate is annoyingly difficult to remove for cleaning– Exterior can get pretty hot during long cooksThanks for reading, hope this review helped :)

PRO: See thru window is a plus; really crispy foods with air frying; quick, quiet and great for a couple or smaller eaters up to 4 people.CON: can be very dangerous! Bake cycle when making something loose like macaroni & cheese. No lifts for pan to place in or retrieve! You set the oven temp and the time bake and it preheats!!! Now it is hot! How do you slip in the baking pan without scorching knuckles! I had to take the whole basket out to cool it - No way to retrieve. Now off to find a lift of some sort!CON: no directions in package. Waste of time to find out essentials not obvious. If making fries, nuggets, etc simple to figure out on your own…but other things like the bake cycle would be nice to know what essentials you need to buy or they should include like LIFTING HANDLES. Would be nice to include a circular about sizes of pans you need, etc and what to buy!!! Spend hours researching on your own! Ridiculous.For older people or younger people this can be dangerous. Thank GOLLY for AMAZON who delivers quick!This would be fun instead of aggravating! I can only review baking and frying because haven’t used the other settings. Their Web leaves a lot to be desired. For selling, simple. Made out like recipes were available but they didn’t say for all their sizes all mixed up for all the appliances they sell! I gave up and bought a book for two cooking with air fryers! First AirFryer for us to own so maybe for the rest of you out there in the quick cooking world you do not have the issues we just had.UPDATE: BOUGHT NECESSARY ITEMS TO BE ABLE TO USE THIS…and since have found many videos on YouTube and really enjoying this item. So changed from 4 stars to 5 stars. Like so many appliances today you have to download complete manuals. Thats just the way of life. So really happy with this little cooker. Do you need it? Probably not! But it sure cooks fast and you get excellent results when you understand what to do and there is lots of information out there. So just read! Made beautiful wedge potatoes last night with a chicken that usually we would grill and used the AirFryer feature and both were excellent. Now looking for another great dinner for tonight that is really quick. The preheat is so quick, not sure it is necessary at all. The CON that I find now is the tray that fits in basket will dump with the food, so watch out! If you know this, you can use a hot mitt to catch it! Laughing. So just pay attention.

Buy this air fryer if you want a decent machine with a horrible design flaw: the switch that lets the machine know the basket drawer is closed will fail after about 1-2 years of light usage and will involve a complicated repair or replacing the machine with a brand that doesn't have planned obsolescence baked in from the moment you close the basket the first time.I would estimate that the switch on my unit failed after approximately 150 uses (open and close the basket being one use) before the switch completely failed and no longer allows the unit to function due to it thinks the basket is missing even when it's fully seated.The basket drawer switch design is 100% plastic and simply wears down enough so that it will not fully depress the pin it supposed to engage/depress when the basket closes.I will say it was a decent air fryer until I had to throw it in trash. Now it's in some landfill with all the other chinese made crap that didn't last. Needless to say I will never buy another Instant Pot Vortex product again: fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Buy at your own risk, you've been warned.

The Instant Pot Vortex Plus 6QT Air Fryer is a game-changer in the kitchen! Its sleek design and user-friendly interface make it a joy to use. I've been able to whip up crispy fries, juicy chicken wings, and even perfectly baked cookies with minimal effort. The spacious 6-quart capacity is perfect for families, and the pre-set programs take the guesswork out of cooking. Cleanup is a breeze thanks to the non-stick basket. And it is a way healthier alternative to normal deep frying!What truly sets this air fryer apart is its ability to deliver consistent results every time. Whether you're a seasoned chef or a beginner, the Instant Pot Vortex Plus makes cooking fun and easy. It's also incredibly versatile, functioning as a roaster, broiler, and dehydrator, making it an all-in-one appliance that saves space and time. If you're looking to upgrade your cooking experience, this air fryer is a must-have!

Love this model. The window in the front is very helpful. It super easy to use and does a great job with a variety of foods that we have tried. This is the second one I have purchased and have given it as a gift to my brother who is really enjoying it.

Nunca había tenido una air fryer, pero pienso que es un buen producto. La mayoría de los productos que he preparado traen instrucciones y quedan bien

Best air fryer ever, it's not quiet, but when it comes to even predictable cooking this fryer can't be beat. Not too mention it is quality built unlike many others that are so cheap. If your looking for a long lasting air fryer, that will last for years, this is the one to get.

Optimista el cocinar sin lugar a duda. De freír durante media hora o mas grandes tandas a solo unos 5 minutos es genial. Solo que limpiar se me hace algo engorroso. Y el recibo de la luz incrementó notablemente.

Rápida, increíble la ventana para ver los alimentos. Fácil de limpiar y usar. Evita olores al freír pescado o cortes de carne.
