Instant Pot Vortex Plus 6 Qt 6-in-1 Air Fryer with Odor Erase Tech, Black

Title: Excellent Air Fryer for Quick and Delicious Meals! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I absolutely love the Instant Pot Vortex Plus Air Fryer! It’s easy to use, heats up quickly, and cooks food evenly with a nice crispy texture. It’s perfect for preparing fries, chicken, vegetables, and many other meals with less oil. I also love how convenient it is for everyday cooking and how easy it is to clean. It saves time in the kitchen and delivers great results. Definitely worth it and highly recommended!

Oh my gosh, I LOVE, LOVE this air fryer! I use it almost daily. It runs a bit hotter than my previous one and I usually have to shave a few minutes off air fryer directions on the packages. But make no mistake that is not a complaint! This works so well, it's quiet, easy to use, and love the different choices: air fryer, bake, roast, reheat, dehydrate, broil... I've used them all and can't say enough good things for it. It has become a more important kitchen appliance than the microwave! It's not too big or too small, it's the Goldilocks of air fryers.

Before buying, I researched a variety of Air Fryers, including Consumer Reports' recommendations. I even borrowed an air fryer from a friend (wire racks as opposed to a bucket style). I am extremely happy with the Instant Vortex Plus 6 QT. Pros: 1. It is a workhorse, holding a full 6 quarts of volume. I am only one person; however, I like to bulk cook and this air fryer works beautifully for large amounts. 2. Simple to clean - the bucket removes easily, as does the wire rack insert. Soap, water and gentle sponging clean it easily. There are no wire shelves to scrub. 3. Simple buttons for digital controls. Not complicated at all. 4. Offers a variety of cooking settings so it not only air fries but bakes, roasts, reheats, etc. 5. Not overly large or bulky. Fits under my cabinets; although, I pull it out when cooking. Cons: 1. A bit pricier than other models but still feel it's well worth it. 2. The 6 QT bucket is a tad heavy when using one hand to take it out and mix the food. I am really enjoying this Air Fryer and definitely recommend, especially for someone new to air frying. Trust me, the bucket style is so much easier to use and clean than the wire racks. Enjoy!!

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 way Top 3 Dislikes: -No dislikes!

I don't know how I ever did life before air fryers! We use them so much, this is our third! I thought I was going to hit the jackpot with this one based solely off the brand. While I do like it and don't feel "stuck with it", there are a few things I think they could improve upon. Things I like: 1. Time and Temp are easy to control/change, even mid cycle. 2. LOVE the window and light!! Being able to see in without having to stop, open and restart is great! (especially because of #3 on my list of things I wish were different) 3. Very easy to clean. 4. Clean, sleek design. Also love the square shape vs. traditional round fryers. Wastes less counter space. 5. Very quiet. Some might think the signal when the cook time has ended is too quiet. Things I wish were different: 1. Even though the square shape allows it to waste less counter space, it does have a rather large footprint. I wish it was just a little smaller without compromising cooking capacity. 2. I really wish it were stainless steel inside. Why, in 2024, are we still pumping ourselves full of forever chemicals with non-stick cookware?!? I've mitigated this (as much as possible) by purchasing stainless steel basket inserts. They fit and work great, but still would prefer not to cook my food in a non-stick oven. 3. I wish there were an option to skip the pre-heat function, mainly because once your pre-set cook time is up, and if your food is not fully cooked, you have to go through the pre-heat cycle all over again in order to continue cooking. Is it terribly long? No. Unnecessary? Very. Overall, it's a great air fryer so far. I've been using it regularly for 3 months now and haven't had any functional issues.

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.

I purchased this air fryer in 2022 but didn’t begin using it until I moved into my new home in 2023. Initially, I was very happy with its performance. It cooked evenly, preheated quickly, and was relatively easy to clean. For about two years, it was a reliable part of my kitchen routine and made weeknight meals easier and more enjoyable. However, this satisfaction didn’t last. Recently, the air fryer stopped working completely. Every time I try to use it, it throws an error message telling me to “close the basket” — even though the basket is fully inserted and clearly locked in place. After doing some digging online, I realized this is not a unique or isolated issue. Many users have reported the exact same failure: a faulty sensor that falsely registers the basket as open. This is clearly a design flaw, and I suspect it's intentional. The malfunction started shortly after the warranty expired, which is suspiciously convenient for the manufacturer. Even more frustrating is how the air fryer is constructed: it's nearly impossible to open it up and fix or replace the broken sensor. Everything is sealed in a way that strongly suggests the company does *not* want consumers to attempt any kind of repair. In my opinion, this is a clear example of **planned obsolescence**. The product is built to fail just outside of the warranty period, pushing customers to buy a replacement rather than fix the one they already own. It's wasteful, environmentally irresponsible, and incredibly frustrating for anyone who expects their kitchen appliances to last more than a couple of years. This experience has left a bad taste in my mouth — and not the kind an air fryer is supposed to deliver. I will **never** purchase another product from this brand again, and I strongly urge others to avoid it as well. If you want something that’s actually built to last, look elsewhere. Spend a bit more and invest in a brand that values quality and customer trust over short-term profits. **Bottom Line:** Do *not* buy this air fryer or anything from this brand. It’s a scam disguised as a kitchen appliance. You’re better off saving your money and choosing a company that stands behind their products with durable design and real customer support.

I did a lot of research before purchasing this air fryer and have zero regrets. It ticks all the features that make it a great buy. Easy to clean large basket, simple controls, a window, a light, quiet, controls cooking odor fairly well, and heats up quickly. Preheating is really unnecessary. I always use the minimum cooking time listed in the recipe. I don't normally cook meat in it since I use a grill 3 times a week, but decided to try a roast chicken. They recommended a 4lb chicken. Good luck finding a 4lb chicken. I got a 5.5 lb chicken and it fit fine. OMG! I'll never buy a store bought rotisserie chicken again. It was tender, juicy, and had beautifully crispy skin with flavor through to the bone. We use it mainly for roast potatoes, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, brussel sprouts, frozen pizza, tater tots, and hard boiled eggs. The eggs come out perfect every time. I bought it a year and a half ago for $109. There were similar sized air fryers that were cheaper, but none with all the features of this one.

I am so happy that I got this Air Fryer, I have tried cooking just about everything to perfection and I love how quiet it runs. There is plenty of room in the basket to cook my food in, and even the notification sound is not overly loud. Clean up is a breeze, no real need to soak it or put it in the dishwasher, just wait for it to cool and wash with warm water. For any first time buyers of an air fryer, this is the one you should really consider.

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

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.

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.

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.
