Color: Vortex ProSize: 10QTVerified Purchase

This is my 3rd air fryer and my last! I love it and have purchased 12 more as gifts because I love it so much! Everyone I’ve gifted it to agrees how awesome it is. I did have to replace it after almost 3 years because the panel started going and couldn’t change the temp and some of the buttons didn’t light up any longer, so you had to guess where certain things were. It’s used almost daily, so was not too upset. I bought the same one again and it’s going strong!

Robotic stir fry

Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2020

Color: Vortex ProSize: 10QTVerified Purchase

First I got the instant pot pressure cooker add on. I fell in love and it was too small for the entire family. So I got this one. When I saw the rotating cage I knew I wouldn't consider others without it.

The add-on was actually faster to pre-heat than this fryer. The plug for the add-on has a barrier to prevent using both sockets of a typical electric outlet at the same time. It is probably because the pressure cooker is a lot tougher. The add on is not only smaller, also if you have to look at the status of the food you have to open it and stare deep into the bottom of the fryer. This fryer has a glass window that is a lot easier. And it's a lot easier to turn the food because you just slide out a tray.

Honestly, this is a plastic box with a stainless steel skin. Most budget appliances are like that. If you want more metal you need to pay more for that. The steel skin is decent when some other appliances are a bit flimsy. The inside is all metal too with a tough glass door. I did saw a tiny jet stream leaking out near the front gaps (not the door) when I first use it. But I didn't see that again.

The coupling to the rotating cage is tough plastic. It would be a lot more expensive to make with a metal part. But it is unthinkable to melt those pieces of plastic with only 400F. The guy who managed to melt it must be doing something unthinkable, or, of course, there's some sort of malfunction when the temperature is out of control.

There is some plastic smell when you first use it. But it will go away very soon, like after 10 minutes of frying. And it's not bad unless you use a much higher temperature than 400F, which I don't think it's possible.

The cage is stainless steel which has quality. There are two frying trays and a drip tray all have a quality non-stick surface. Since there's no direct heat on any of these, cleaning should be easier than a pan or wok. Disher washer using white powder pods should get them cleaned. If not, my go-to is to submerge everything in boiling water and add washing soda (or baking soda). Everything comes off easily or food stains don't accumulate; you can do a more thorough cleaning when you have the time.

I have a range hood like two jet engines but I can only hear strong winds hitting on the grease filters. The noise of this fryer is overwhelmed by my range hood but the pitch of the fryer is higher so I can still hear it.

When the fryer is hot, the label on the glass door can be peeled off effortlessly.

I know some models carry the warning label about BPA and lead. I looked into it and it's either nutjobs, corporate sabotagers, or conspiracy theorists. My model doesn't come with a warning so Instant Vortex may have dealt with it.

First, it's too late to worry about non-stick when an associated chemical can be detected in most of the population. Nowadays, non-stick materials don't use bird-killing chemicals and won't have that in the non-stick to leak out. The non-stick itself material is rather inert. Without direct heat as in woks and pans, any health risk will be one dimension less.

BPA is associated with soft plastic. The plastic coupler in the fryer is as hard as it can get. I don't know why there is an issue when there's no food contact with the plastic. Any BPA has to leak out as gas to make any possible contact with food. But you how strong the air circulation is inside the fryer.

A blogger has the equipment to test for lead! Where she discovered lead, there is no food contact. I remember she discovered traces of lead in the cord/plug, and something like the inside of a rice cooker. Isn't that nuts? The inside of the rice cooker isn't in touch with anything other than the bowl. The lead have to leak out to the bowl but any traces would have been largely eliminated when you rinse/wash it. In comparison, everything wood and metal in hardware stores are cancerous per CA P65. And is the cord inside the conducting metal or on the outside plastic? I will be surprised if you find lead in plastic.

But why test only this fryer? I bet you can discover lead in every appliance where there is no contact with nothing. Anyway, it's not a major issue. The suppliers just happen to give you something with lead or BPA in it when it's not expected. Hard plastic doesn't usually contain BPA and BPA free plastic isn't a big deal. Similarly, you can swap suppliers for a lead-free component in some obscure places inside.

Great capacity and options

Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2024

Color: Vortex ProSize: 10QTVerified Purchase

I've been using this for several months now and it's the most used item in our kitchen. We have teen kids and a busy house and this is definitely to go to for cooking and warming up food around here. That being said, I have a few things to say about it.
Overall, the unit functions great. It does everything you'd expect and I use pretty much every feature that it has.
The good:
Dual racks that can hold a LOT of food. One tip to put out there for future owners is that the stacked racks are great, but you need to rotate the racks to keep the consistency of the food. Top rack will cook MUCH faster than the bottom. That's the rack I use as a 'broil' rack. Middle and bottom racks are good but still need to rotate to keep the food cooking at the same rate.
The rotisserie basket is nice and use it occasionally, but not as often as I anticipated. If you have seasoned something like fries or tots, the rotating rack dries and knocks a lot of the seasonings/coatings off. It's capacity is pretty limited as I discovered that you don't want to fill it really any more than half full or even a little less. Anything more will slow the process and things don't cook and crisp nearly as well.
The racks and base are nonstick and very easy to clean up... even when you make a big mess with something oily and drippy.
It has reminders of when to add food after preheating, when to rotate/turn your food and the interface is easy to read and intuitive to use.
The Cons:
By far, my biggest issue is the door. It drops down like an oven door. This means that when the door is open and you're taking food out or putting it in, everything will drop and drip all over the door and down into the hinge. If it's flaky, or breaded and you're flipping or rotating things, the crumbs will drop all over the door and especially down into the hinge and will start to grind when you open and close the door. I actually have a little handheld vacuum that I grab often to vacuum out the hinge because there's no easy way to get the crumbs and debris out of that hinge.
If you're cooking something 'drippy', like chicken breasts, or a steak, the fats and juices will drip all over the door when you're taking it out or turning the food and again... into the hinge that is nearly impossible to clean. Then you close the door to continue cooking so the fat dripping are on your glass door window and you're cooking it onto the glass even more. This door thing drives me crazy, but I love the unit. I would MUCH prefer if the door hinged on the side and opened like a microwave. It would completely eliminate this frustration.
It also doesn't align to shut often because the door has some play in so you have to jiggle a bit sometimes to get it to shut. You kind of get used to the feel of it and it gets easier and just one of the quirks about the unit.
That all being said, I love the unit and it works great.

I love this air fryer. I was concerned it wouldn't be big enough to cook large items but it has done well. I've even used it to roast cocoa beans and the consistent temp and rotisserie function are great! Haven't tried to cook pork chops in it yet but its on the to-do list. Have cooked some super cheesy turkey melts and the cheese cleans up very easily. Looks great on the counter top and its not too big.

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2024

Color: Vortex ProSize: 10QTVerified Purchase

Hey, our oven quit and we can’t really buy another stove yet. So we bought this. It is small enough to keep out on the counter top, and yes we have to cook and eat in shifts, (7 of us), but, we kind of eat in shifts any way. I would say it would be perfect for 2 or three people. But, it is good for us because I didn’t want something to take up too much counter space. Makes things nice and crispy, if you want to.

I’m glad I didn’t return it because of reviews I read

Reviewed in Canada on September 19, 2023

Color: Vortex ProSize: 10QTVerified Purchase

I was going to return this because of a lot of cons i read on the reviews plus I don’t have a lot of counter or storage space but I’m sick of feeding my son and bf fried foods cooked in oil especially my son, who loves fried foods.

My take on the cons I read

1. Plastic smell- when I opened the air fryer for the first time, there’s a wiff of plastic smell. Per the cleaning instructions, I wiped the inside with damp towel and dried it. I did this several times until I can no longer smell plastic when I stick my nose in it. I also washed the 2 trays and grease tray with warm water and diswashing soap and dried it with clean towel. I ran an empty cycle using Airfryer for 20min and almost immediately, there’s a strong plastic smell filling my kitchen. I did 2 empty cycles for 20min each and I’ve been smelling the vent behind it for plastic smell. During the 2nd cycle, the plastic smell wasn’t as strong as the first cycle. I used it to cook food for the first time after few hours and the food did not smell or taste plastic.

Bottomline for the plastic smell, I think cleaning the inside with damp towel and washing the trays really helped get rid of the smell in my opinion. I ran 2 empty cycles for 20min each and the plastic smell was gone.

2. Touchscreen not sensitive enough- for this one, I don’t really have a problem with it. Mine is working great. No need to touch it multiples times or even hard.

3. Too loud- I’m not sure if its because I always have Grey’s Anatomy playing on my tv whenever I ran my airfryer but I don’t think mine is as loud as some people mentioned.

4. Beep too quite- Yes, the beep indeed is quite, but my solution to that is just setting my phone alarm.

Food taste so much better and flavourful compared to conventional oven cooked foods.

I have not tried the basket or the rotisserie but I’m excited to cook lechon belly in it soon.

Overall, I’m very happy with this. This is my very first big appliance purchase since my bf and I started living at our own place. It will help me with dinner especially because I work the graveyard shift and I can cook my son all the fried food his little heart wants.

Color: Vortex ProSize: 10QTVerified Purchase

I don't have a lot of space on my kitchen counters for multiple appliances (toaster oven, air fryer) so I decided to experiment by buying one of these from Amazon Warehouse in "acceptable condition". Turns out that the blemish is only a small cosmetic ding in the back of the unit, and it's not at all visible unless you seek it out on the back.

First benefit: This unit has a significantly smaller footprint than a compact Breville toaster oven, the appliance that formerly occupied the countertop location. It's a little taller than the toaster oven, but not significantly so.

Second benefit: In the few days I've owned this, I've air fried, rotisseried, baked and toasted up a storm. I am so impressed by the quality and versatility of this appliance. And the interior wipes up clean very easily.

Third benefit: Aside from Instant branded accessories, there are a number of third parties selling good quality accessory kits for this air fryer oven, at reasonable prices. I used a bit of the money I saved on the oven to buy a kit from Amazon Warehouse. The only downside is that, with the interior dimensions of this oven (approximately 9" x 9"), I didn't already own many metal pans that small, so I had to buy some. Unlike toaster ovens, which accommodate rectangular baking sheets and pans, the Instant Vortex Pro requires square or round sheets or pans 9" or under in size.
