effecient air fryer
This does a really good job air frying food. I like the clear window on the drawer so you can see how the food is progressing without opening it. it was rated very high from america’s test kitchen and i can see why. so far, it’s performed well. Easy to clean and not complicated to use. I’ve been into air fryers since the beginning. This is my third one, and I like it the best, so far. If youre looking for an efficient, easy, and compact model, here it is.
Real person, yup –
Great Dual Basket Air Fryer cooking fish! And 2. It went away pretty quickly. I did not want the model that required replacement filters regularly and Iâm happy with my choice. I never had an air fryer with pre-set values so I dont miss that feature. Also, having to let the unit cool down before restarting a new program should not be an issue because 1. I already have two baskets to use at once if needed and 2. When a program is done and I remove a basket to get the food out, that cooking âbayâ seems to cool quickly and then shut off completely with the basket out. I can recommend this air fryer without hesitation!
Update; after 6 months of use, I like it even more. I use it as a toaster oven and it works great. It is noisy but I usually have no other people to annoy when I use it so I donât care. My dog gets pretty excited whenever I start it up because she usually gets a bite of whatever Iâm cooking or toasting. I have found that the pet âcheese taxâ also must be paid on many other foods. But seriously, this is a great unit. Easy to clean, not ugly, toasts/bakes/air frys very well.Original review: I bought this after first getting a competing mfgâs multi-purpose grill-air fryer-dehydrator-griddle. That unit was too heavy, you could not clean the inner lid area well or easily, and it was not great as an air fryer. As a grill, the food would slide off the angled grill surface. After reading reviews I decided to get single function devices instead of the âjack of all trades, master of noneâ unit. I returned the other unit, but Amazon will not let me review it now, saying âunusual review activityâ means only confirmed purchasers can review it. I think that is cover for a number of bad reviews it may be getting. It was a smart move. This InstantPot Vortex XL 8-quart air fryer has two smaller 4-Qt baskets that let me cook two different foods that finish cooking at the same time. The windows and light in each basket let me see how brown foods are without opening the baskets. Great function. The baskets and bottom grate platform are nonstick coated metal and should hold up well. No missing or broken parts. The unit has a surprisingly small footprint for being a dual basket model. After reading many air fryer reviews I came to the conclusion that Iâd either need two machines, or a dual basket model even though both baskets would be smaller. I paid extra for a model with minimal âmetal lookâ external decoration because in my experience, it is just more to keep clean and adds to the busy look of my kitchen. I plan on keeping it out because Iâve used it almost every day since Ive had it. When the unit is unplugged, it is nearly all black and non-distinct and thatâs a plus because I replaced the rarely used toaster oven with this machine and am trying to minimize counter clutter. I do recommending using a microfiber cloth for wiping the large expanse of smooth plastic that shows the touch controls when in use, because I used a paper towel and then a cotton dishtowel to wipe it and I can see some light swirly scratches on the surface. The only working surface that is not easy to clean is the part with the heating coil over each basket. They recommend wiping it as needed if food or grease ever stick, so I will. I assume most residue would burn off as the coils heat to high temps while in use. I did follow the instructions to run both sides once before actually cooking anything. There was a slight odor but it went away quickly. Iâve cooked fish sticks and reheated fried fish fillets from restaurant leftovers and there was some âcooking fishâ smell for both at the start but 1. I

I’m an AirFryer Convert
Count me among those that were skeptical about AirFyers. Why would I need one of those? I already have a very nice convection oven. My aversion to ‘yet-another-appliance’ partially was because my dad has a house full of NuWaves, sous vide, and other QVC type gadgets. Yes, he even has an AirFyer. While they cooked some amazing fries, I didn’t want my kitchen overrun with half-baked appliances like his (pun intended).I eventually came around because I was watching a cooking YouTuber make some meals that actually looked decent as opposed to the gimmicky QVC demos. I originally tried the InstantPot AirFryer lid. Again trying to avoid the dad-house appliance hoarding clutter, I thought it would be great to have it consolidated with the InstantPot (which is an appliance I love and adore). I tried cooking fries, but wasn’t impressed with the results. My 6 quart InstantPot seemed too deep for the lid, and I didn’t have enough cooking surface.I realized I just needed to pay a little bit more than the AirFryer Lid to get a purpose build AirFyer, so I returned the lid. Searching around the reviews, I settled on this Instant Vortex ClearCook model. The Food Network and America’s Test Kitchen reviews were fantastic. I really liked the window feature to see the food cooking.The first thing I tried was cooking fries, which came out fantastic this time. Crispy on the outside, hot and tender inside. I was right about the larger surface area from the purpose build AirFyer than the InstantPot AirFyer lid. It’s important to cook in a single layer, and the wider surface area allowed enough spacing for two servings of fries.Then I tried making beef jerky, which was again easy and fantastic. I love cooking and recipes, and I could see there was a lot for me to experiment with.Being a convert, I realized there were some advantages to an AirFyer that I was missing from my earlier skepticism:- I don’t have a large family to feed; it’s just my husband and me.- AirFyer is perfect for cooking single-serving portions for two people.- It heats FAST. It took about 2-3 minutes for a 400F preheat. My convection oven takes almost 15-20 minutes to preheat to 400F.- Less radiant heat than the oven, so should be fine for summer use.- I love to cook, but not a fan of dishes. This is super easy to clean.I am really impressed with this Instant Vortex model. It cooks great, and I really like the clear window. I like being able to see the browning without opening the basket and letting out heat. With energy prices going up, it seems an advantage to have the smaller appliance and less cooking time.If there is a downside, I am not a fan of the knob dial. I would much rather have push buttons to adjust temperature and time, but this is just a preference. The other thing I am wondering about is if the clear view window will get covered in grease or fog up over time. I’ll do my best to keep it clean, and we’ll see how it ages.The Instant Pot Pressure cooker is an appliance that I adore, and is an appliance that has been well worth the space in my cabinets. I’m convinced that the Instant Vortex will do the same for my household. I can’t wait to try new recipes! This has given me new inspirations for my cooking!

First impressions are great
Just received this air fryer. Got the model without the odor filtration because I think that’s a humid and I don’t want to pay for special filters. Tonight I cooked fresh salmon and it turned out just wonderful… perfectly done and crispy on top. I love being able to see food as it’s cooking. Preheated very quickly, quiet, and easy to clean. Controls are super easy.

So quiet you will wonder if its working correctly
This air fryer is amazing! Has the easiest interface I have seen and has some additional features I love like being reminded to turn food over. Has a great range of temperatures is super easy to clean and this thing makes almost no sound compared to other air fryers I have used in the past. Definitely a winner!

Works well but stopped working after 3 years
I really liked this item–it cooked things up quickly and recrisps leftover fries nicely. It has a lot of different cook options, but I was never clear how they differed. I really liked the window so I could monitor how things were cooking without opening it up.Sadly, this stopped working after 3 years. The sensor that tells if the basket is closed stopped working, so it won’t even turn on now. Now I need to get a new one and have to research if I should get another of the same item or see if there is anything better out there.

The Instant Vortex Plus XL 8-Quart Dual Basket Air Fryer Oven has completely transformed my cooking routine. The dual-basket design is a brilliant feature, allowing me to cook two different foods at once without flavors mixing. With its SyncCook and SyncFinish functions, both sides are ready at the same time, making it super convenient for preparing meals fast.The 8-quart capacity is perfect for larger portions or family meals, yet it doesn’t take up much counter space. From crispy fries to juicy chicken, everything cooks evenly and tastes fantastic without needing much oil. Plus, the variety of functions â air fry, bake, roast, reheat, and dehydrate â make it a versatile appliance that replaces multiple tools in the kitchen.Cleanup is also a breeze; the non-stick baskets are easy to wash by hand or in the dishwasher. If you’re looking for an efficient, easy-to-use air fryer that delivers great-tasting results, the Instant Vortex Plus XL is a top choice! Highly recommended for anyone wanting healthier meals without sacrificing flavor.

We now have 2 of these. One at home and one at our cabin. Super easy and efficient to use. There are so many recipes you can make with this. I love the window and light option as it allows for checking on your food without opening the fryer. Not the cheapest machine on the market but it is a good size and works well for a family of 3-4.

Cuando se usa una canasta sola, la receta sale exactamente como se espera. Pero cuando se usa para asar dos comidas distintas, o una receta en ambas canastas usando la función “Sync cook”, tarda más para calentarse o no llega a la temperatura esperada.

We recently purchased the Instant Air Fryer and I have to say, it’s been a game changer in our kitchen! For the price, it offers just about everything you’d want in an air fryer. Itâs got a ton of features that make cooking easy and efficient, from adjustable temperature settings to different cooking modes. You can cook a wide variety of dishes in no time, and it does it reliably every single time. Whether you’re cooking snacks or full meals, it handles everything with ease.One of my favorite things about this air fryer is how safe it is to use. It’s designed in a way that you donât have to worry about burns or spills, which makes it perfect for everyday cooking. Plus, it heats up really fast, so youâre never waiting long to get your food ready.Cleaning it is a breeze! The basket and tray are non-stick, so all you need to do is give it a quick wipe-down after each use. This makes it so much easier to use on a daily basis without dreading the cleanup.Weâve used it a lot for parties and itâs always a hit! Whether itâs fries, wings, or appetizers, the air fryer makes everything crispy and delicious in no time. Itâs definitely been a crowd-pleaser at every get-together!Overall, Iâm really happy with this purchase. Itâs an affordable, reliable, and versatile kitchen tool that I highly recommend!

I was always sceptical about air-fryers, I don’t know why – maybe because they got so much hype? But we finally figured we’d get one to try and see what all the fuss was about. This one got good reviews and it was a lower price (for the capacity) than many others, plus I liked the design and the window to see the food.Wow. This thing is AWESOME!!!It looks like you’d imagine an air-fryer would look if Apple made one (and you know it would be called the ‘iFry’). Very modern, very slick, super easy to use interface.I haven’t used one without the window but find it really useful to see the food while it’s cooking without having to open it so I’m glad we got this model, plus it’s a very trusted brand. From reviews I’d seen you can’t just go off the “quart” capacity – it’s all about surface area with air-fryers so you want plenty of space so the food isn’t crowded, which is what makes this one so good (vs others that may be the same or higher capacity, but by having more depth which isn’t as good).So far we’d made Chicken Wings, both plain and breaded, and the breaded ones tasted as good or better than the best Fast Food Chicken you’ve ever had (KFC, Popeyes etc…). We’ve also made Burssel’s Sprouts with Bacon and mmmmn, so delicious.Lots of more things to try making, but so far everything has worked out beautifully and cleanup has been a breeze. So definitely recommended.
