Instant PotVortex Plus 6QT ClearCook Air Fryer, Clear Windows, Custom Program Options, 6-in-1 Functions, Crisps, Broils, Roasts, Dehydrates, Bakes, Reheats, from the Makers of Instant Pot, Black

My first air fryer-I finally joined the bandwagon. I love it! So easy to use; plenty of room in the basket; preheats so quickly. I like that there is a window to peak in without opening the device. I think I have used it everyday since purchase. Today I am going to give hard boiling some eggs in it.

I decided to see why everyone likes these air fryers, and now I know why. The convenience is great, and it’s very easy to keep clean. We have a convection oven, so I figured we didn’t need an air fryer. Well it’s very nice not to heat up the oven and the kitchen now, especially for something small. Easy to use. Good purchase.

I have the 2-drawer version, which is great but takes up a lot of counter space. I got this single drawer model for friends. Large space for cooking, love love love the viewing window. Great quality, as expected from the InstantPot company.

I should have bought this air fryer years ago. Cooks food you want crisp like it’s supposed to be and doesn’t heat up the house like a conventional oven. Get parchment paper inserts and your life will be just a little bit easier.

I have always wanted to try one of these but figured it would just end up in a closet somewhere. Just got it and cooked boneless marinated pork chops and asparagus spears, separately. This was stupid easy to clean, wwas incredibly quiet, gave off almost no heat and I loved the viewing window. It will be trial and error to get timing right on things, this is a high wattage unit and therefore needs less time than smaller units. I bought the 6 qt. so I could do a whole chicken tonight. You do need a large heat resistant mat under it. I got a 25" long mat and glad I did so I can set the basket on it for turning over food. Does not come with a cookbook so bought refrigerator magnet cheat sheets, however, I think looking up recipes is better. You can open the drawer and check for doneness and either remove the food or continue cooking. It tells you when to turn over the food. I have a tiny kitchen and the appliance book made it sound like you had to use it in a huge open area to be safe and I only had one spot to put it. The cord is only 2 feet long so I sas lucky this worked out. It put out very little heat at all so no worries there. Cooled down fast. I have no place in the house to store it as we live in a tiny home (560 sq feet) but it is very lightweight so I just move it out to our shed when not using.

It cooked consistently and safely for 2.5 years. Then the bucket failed at the handle and screws, and it was unusable.Reasonably easy to clean in the dishwasher, quite often the tray needs some additional cleaning. See pics for bucket failure. Not finding the bucket part for sale, we bought a new appliance.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I picked this on a friends recommendation. It has been used almost daily for chicken strips, egg rolles, French fries. Great for reheating pizza and ff’s. Even made cookies in it. Lots of recipes/suggestions online.

Received air fryer yesterday, fast shipping, well packed in box, no smell like some have said about Instant vortex air fryers. Have cooked fries, hushpuppies, and boiled an egg in it. All turned out good. I really like the controls. They tell you what is going on at all times, like preheating, cooking, when to turn your food, and it has a large basket, 9 1/2in x 10 1/4in. inside area. So far i am 100% satisfied with the Instant vortex air fryer. One other thing, I have never heard an air fryer this quite. You can barely hear the fan only if you are really trying to here it. And when you press the icons the beep is so faint and not loud at all. Great machine.
