Instant Pot 4QT VORTEX 6-in-1 Mini Air Fryer, Air fry, Bake, Roast, Broil, Dehydrate or Reheat, Sea Salt, 4 Quarts

SO FAR – FABULOUS!
This is our 1st airfryer. After scouring a half dozen websites with their own airfryer ratings (food network, food & wine, etc.), I decided upon this one. It was consistently a top suggested product on all of these website. We have an Instantpot, which we have used with great success for years, so I felt confident purchasing their airfryer. A key standout (and unique) feature of this model is the stainless steel cooking container. I, personally, find this to be a higher quality material than plastic.So far, we’ve made fried paneer cheese cubes, breaded mushrooms, breaded zucchini, roasted potatoes, broccoli, green beans, Trader Joe’s frozen tempura cauliflower, and a medley of sweet potato, onion and Brussel sprouts. Everything has turned out perfectly, and fast! I am confident that all of the other things we make will follow this precedent.SIZE: This particular unit was out of stock in 6qt at the time of my purchase. I was uncertain about whether the 4qt would be large enough, but once I had it in front me, it was easier to visualize. The 4qt cooks enough food for 2-3 people (ex. 3 chicken breasts or pieces of fish can easily fit).SHAPE: During my research, I saw that there are 2 main shapes of an airfryer container: 1) Tall and deep 2) Short and wide. In thinking about the foods that I intend to use this for, I like the short and wide containers because they allow foods to spread out more evenly versus being stacked. This unit is the short and wide shape, and I love it!EASE OF USE: I am familiar with the Instantpot, and the turn dial to select time, temperature, etc. functions are the same with this. It is not a complicated unit, with just a few basic buttons. And, when you set the total amount of cooking time, the unit will automatically give a beep when it is time to toss the container’s content mid-way through. The container has a tray with little silicone feet that keep it in place while you dump the container’s contents onto your serving dish.CLEANING: Remove the tray; clean. Wipe out the cavity. It’s very simple. The people who’ve complained about this are likely overcooking, putting messy types of foods, or leaving it to sit too long before cleaning.SMELL: Many people noted a plastic smell while cooking. Yes, there was a little bit of an odor while cooking for the first few times of use, but I no longer smell it.COOKING: Follow the directions on the recipes and/or back of food packages with airfryer specific directions. You cannot go wrong. And, it preheats within minutes! It cooks foods so fast!DURABILITY: Our Instantpot is going strong after 10+ years. Just keep it clean and take of it; use common sense when using it. I do not anticipate we will have any problems. However, I am also realistic. Some appliances just do not last forever.UPDATE (9/28/25): We continue to enjoy this product, making a variety of different foods fast! We have not experienced any problems of any kind. We highly recommend this air fryer!

Love this machine! Better than convection/air fryer we had before. Instant Pot is a good brand.
I had one of those expensive convection/toaster/bake/air fryer for the longest time. It was huge and so annoying. I finally found this Instant Pot Vortex, which is a good size for two people. I have the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker and love that, too. Less counter space and better results. It’s easy to use with a good display. I got some parchment inserts to keep the basket clean. Just don’t insert them until after warm-up! There is a larger capacity model for a bigger family. It’s a good brand.

Great product
Good quality air fryer when compared to others. Has a smaller capacity than one would want however it’s good for a single person or a couple if you get a rack for it. It has a nice nonstick coating that makes it very easy to clean and functions well. The temperature holds very well and doesn’t burn food if used correctly. A great starter fryer.

budget-friendly, space-saving kitchen gadget
I wasn’t sure what to expect from a mini air fryer, but this little device has completely exceeded my expectations! It’s the perfect size for small kitchens, dorm rooms, or anyone cooking for one or two people. Despite its compact size, it cooks quickly and evenly—crispy fries, juicy chicken, roasted veggies—you name it.What I love most is how fast and easy it is to use. No long preheating times, no greasy mess. Just toss in your food, set the timer, and you’re good to go. Cleanup is a breeze too, thanks to the non-stick basket.It’s also surprisingly quiet and energy-efficient. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly, space-saving kitchen gadget that delivers great results, this mini air fryer is a total win.Highly recommend it!

Primero debo decir que me asusté cuando leí lo del olor a plástico, pero, el instructivo del equipo es claro: haga una prueba en vacío tanto iemoo y a tantos grados, ese ciclo sí olió a plástico, posterior a eso, el olor no volvió.He hecho un poco de todo: mojarra frita, pescado, papas a la francesa evidentemente jaja! Con excelente sabor y bien doradito ( solo hay que ir aprendiendo a manejar tiempos de cocción y temperatura)Por otra parte, la base es fácil de lavar, el instructivo dice cómo hacerlo, así evitarás que se quede grasits pegada, aunque debo admitir que la base de pronto me da cosa que se ralle con la rejilla, pero trae protectores.El equipo emite varios bips para avisarte si ya terminó o para que voltees la comida.En cuanto al consumo eléctrico, no me aumentó ni $10 el pago de luz y eso que la uso de dos a tres veces x semana.

Efectivo
