Instant Pot - Duo Crisp + Air Fryer

I have the 6 quart duo crisp. I use it as a regular instant pot and never as an air fryer. It is more convenient to have my separate Ninja air fryer. The second lid with air fryer accessories mean you don't save counter/cabinet space and the inner space for air frying in it is too small. A basket-style air fryer is easier to use too.

I have the air fryer lid that I don't think they sell separately any longer, but I love it and use it so much. Super handy and works really well. If I needed to replace my 6-qt IP, I would probably buy the 6-qt Duocrisp (it's just two of us).

Mine is great. I use it pretty much daily since 2020 and it’s holding up fine.

I love mine. Have had it 4 or 5 years now without problems. The air fryer part is very compact, however, and works better for a single/couple rather than family in terms of meal prep.

I've got the Instant Pot Duo Crisp with air fryer lid. It works well enough for each job, but I've found that I very often wish I had separate appliances to use at the same time. It doesn't save much kitchen space, because you still have to store whichever bulky lid you're not using. As an air fryer, it's small and not as easy to handle as a drawer type fryer. As a pressure cooker, it's excellent. No complaints there. But in the last few years the Instant Pot brand is enshittified (see recent posts on this subreddit). If buying now, I'd look for an electric pressure cooker from another brand, and a separate air fryer.  Use case: Enthusiastic home cook, usually making 4 portions from fresh ingredients. 

We use it probably 1 or two times a week since we got it 3-4 years ago and love it. I finally tried pork chops in there last week and that may be my go-to cooking meeting l method from here on out. Highly recommend.

I love mine and I use it all the time but I've been debating on getting a ninja just because of the shape of it. The tall depth of the instapot makes air frying a little bit difficult, especially when they tell you to do stuff in one layer. There's not a whole lot of surface area in that instapot.

I got one as a wedding gift. It’s really nice since I wouldn’t have room for both an air fryer and slow cooker and instant pot. My husband loves it.

I dont know this specific brand but oven airfryers are alright. If you need it because of space it’s fine. The main issue with specifically airfrying is that theres a TON of extra air space then a normal airfryer. So it takes longer and doesnt cook as evenly. I love my instant pot duo air fryer, I would suggest that instead. They make an oven type airfyer though. But i have one of these types at work and it’s pretty nice for reheating food.

I use my Duo at least twice weekly, but probably use the air fryer part one time a month. As others have mentioned, the size and shape limit its usage as an air fryer — especially if you have something that should cook only in one layer.
