A lot of friends have been singing the praises of Air Fryers. Having recently received an Instant Pot as a gift, when I saw their Instant Air Fryer on a prime day sale at half price, I bought one. It is compact enough o fit next to the Instant Pot beneath a corner cupboard. I have not used it a lot since I bought it, but I've been experimenting, and like the results. If you've not tried Pillsbury cinnamon rolls cooked in an air fryer, do so. The recipe I found added a teaspoon of heavy whipping cream on top of each one. I encourage you to try that as well. Since making the purchase, I have noticed more packaged foods include air frying instructions. Having tongs, especially the silicon tipped ones are handy. Where I am it's still outdoor grilling season so I have not air fried meat yet. The other must have is a handy time-temp chart for various foods. You can buy one, but why when you can find one online to download for free.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly What I Needed

I am late to the air fryer game. I've never used one. I used this one for the first time last evening. I air fried tilapia, and it only took about 4 minutes. I used a recipe I found online. The tilapia turned out just right and was very tasty. I had coated it with olive oil and put some spices on it before putting it in the air fryer. I normally would have cooked it in my oven, but the air fryer is so much easier, and I'm sure uses much less energy!
I like the fact that it's easy to clean too. It didn't take me long to understand how to use it. I plan to use it instead of my oven whenever possible.

It's perfect!

I'm originally an Instant Pot Duo Plus owner, and I purchased that back in summer of 2020. In November of 2020, I decided to branch out and purchase the Instant Pot Duo Air-fryer Lid attachment just to get the air-fryer "experience" since I'd never tried one before.

After 2 wonderful years of use, decided it was time to join the big guys and get a stand-alone airfryer because I found myself frequently using the air-fryer lid, more than I expected to. There were some cons with the lid, though, such as having to have your IP available to use with the lid, more to clean up since the air fryer bucket had to go into the inner liner and any juices or liquids that come off the food would go right into the inner liner itself which meant you had to clean both the bucket AND the inner pot of the Instant Pot. I still made it work though, because I LOVED cooking with that lid, and I managed to make so many good masterpieces with that thing!

Fast forward, and my only regret about this stand alone air-fryer is that I didn't get it sooner! I absolutely LOVE IT! I did encounter that "plastic smell" during the test run, but it went away fairly quickly. First run it was pretty strong; by second run (made a small batch of fries), it was ever so faint, but quickly dissipated. By third run (put a couple Nathan's Hot Dogs in there), it was gone completely and all I could smell was the delicious food! I'm excited to cook some wings in it soon! I've cooked wings in my Instant Pot and crisped them using the air-fryer lid in the past, but it seems you can put the wings straight into the Vortex Plus air fryer: no need for that first step in the Instant Pot! very exciting and looks super roomy. Box says it can fit up to 2.5lbs of chicken which is plenty for me to eat plus have leftovers for a couple days, or even if I want seconds or thirds.

I almost thought I would regret not getting the 6QT (I own a 6QT Instant Pot), but turns out the 4QT is plenty for a single person or maybe if you may cook for 1 or 2 other people (I don't tend to have a lot of house guests; normally it's just me and my college aged daughter), and it works out to about the same amount that would fit in the air fryer bucket that came with the lid attachment! The difference is in the Vortex everything is more spread out because of the shape and dimensions (I measured the air fryer basket on the 4QT and it is exactly 8in on each side. Would easily fit accessories that are 7.5" or smaller), but it fits the same amount of food and gets better circulation.

Also, I see people complaining about the warning label on the front of the unit. Sure, you could easily remove it with isopropyl alcohol by loosening up the adhesive and then scraping it off, but it's there for a reason. Pretty sure removing it is classified under misuse of the product and would instantly void the warranty if anything were to go wrong and that label were missing from the unit. They'd (the company) def use that as an excuse to not help you with your issue(s) should they arise. So, I say suck it up and let the label stay. It's there for your own safety and protection in case anything goes wrong and you end up needing to get something replaced or serviced. If it's that serious, at least just move it to another part of the unit, like maybe the side or back, but def don't toss it out completely. I personally see no problem with it being where it is, so mine is going to stay put. All I care about is what the inside can do, not something as frivolous as a warning label on the outside.

Anyway, I digress. I wanted to finish off by saying, I recommend this appliance and its size if you are a single person, or maybe a household of two; up to 3 persons. If you believe you are going to be making much larger portions of food, or larger batches for multiple ppl, then adjust accordingly and get the 6QT, 9QT, or even 10QT. I personally do not need anything that big, so 4QTs is plenty. Also I was so glad that I was able to measure the inner basket because it seems that information is so difficult to find anywhere. I mentioned it above, 8" X 8" square with rounded corners. I find that a lot of the accessories that will fit into the 6QT Instant Pot, will fit into the 4QT Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer. So I will purchase accessories based on that information. Generally, anything between 7" and 7.75" will fit into it unless it's just very oddly shaped or something.

I'm excited to cook a lot of my other favorite dishes in this unit, as well as dishes I've never tried cooking in it before! Worth the money spent! I chose the Instant Vortex Plus because Instant is a brand that I already have experience with, and therefore it's a brand I trust. I look forward to seeing what else they come out with.

I have a small condo, so I held off getting an air-fryer, even though everyone I know who has one tells me they love theirs. This is plenty large enough inside, yet has a small footprint and is attractive. I like a neat countertop, and this is very attractive and doesn't take up much room, so I can leave it out. I like that it has the Instant Pot brand name, too. When I cooked some tater tots, they came out brown and crispy and were the best ever! I was thrilled to not have to turn on an oven in the summer heat! Very, very happy with it!

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2024
I got this for my cooking challenged 23 year old daughter. In her words “I love it, so easy to use”. Considering she is not a talented cook and her boyfriend enjoys meals that she cooks using it I call it a heck of a product. From my perspective it is well made as I would expect from this brand using quality materials. From hearing her rave about it, I may get one for myself.

In her words, “It is easy to use and cooks well with adequate heating. It is not noisy and very versatile with all the cooking functions. It is perfect for 2 people capacity wise. It is a great product”.
