Instant Pot - Duo Crisp + Air Fryer (Dual Lid System)

I don't have a dedicated air fryer, but I grabbed the Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Air Fryer Lid, and it 1000% is my favourite kitchen appliance. It air fries great. It also sautés, sears, slow cooks, pressure cooks, roasts, dehydrates, and sous vides great. It takes up a small space on my counter. You can buy more than one pot for it if you want to be able to have a clean one ready at all times, and you can line it with parchment when air frying in it to keep the pot clean and ready to go. You can cook damn near anything in it in a variety of methods; even when you forget to take a roast out of the freezer until an hour before you want to eat it, and it's dishwasher-friendly (well, minus the air fryer lid). My only tip beyond "get one!" is to get the 8-qt instead of the 6-qt. We have a 6-qt with three adults, and I really wish I'd gotten the bigger one. To answer your question directly, though, I definitely find it easy to cook and reheat things in the air fryer. And for the small extra time investment over using a microwave, the food usually tastes way better and has a much more palatable texture.

Instant Pot has a stainless steel inner which works great. Get the 8L Duo Crisp one as it has pressure cooker and airfryer functionality

Avoid Ultimate Lid since people have had SO MUCH problem with it refusing to open. 8qt is probably best if you just want one unit, because generally you want capacity with an air fryer. I never paid much attention to Foodie, but the adage was "Foodie is an air fryer that can pressure cook," and IP Crisp models are "Pressure cooker that can air fry." There are aftermarket air fryer lids that can be used on IPs of either 6 or 8qt capacity, or can also be used on a stock pot. I bought the Mealthy Crisp Lid, which is now discontinued, but others still exist. The Crisp Lid used halogen lights, like those glass "turbo convection" ovens. I only used it once, to make French fries, and it could really heat.

I am using instant pot duo 8 quarts. It has two lids, one for air fryer and one for pressure cooker,. You can use it as a pressure cooker and an air fryer. The airfryer is not at all loud and works really well. You can try that too

I have the 8qt IP with two lids, and really like it. I use it either for pressure or air frying almost daily. I almost never turn on my regular oven any more because the AF acts as a small convection oven that is big enough for almost anything I would bake/roast/grill for two people. The one with the combined lid wasn’t released yet when I bought so that wasn’t an option, and I’ve seen some reports of that lid getting “stuck” in pressure mode since it works differently than the simple pressure lid. I like that that my pressure lid is dishwasher safe, although it’s super easy to clean too.

I have the 8qt Duo Crisp which has two lids, one for pressure and one for air frying. I love it, it acts like a small convection oven with the AF lid and I have mostly stopped using my regular oven except for large roasts or similar.

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

I have the same unit. I quite like it. We don't have room for an entire separate appliance, but we do have room for the second lid. I'm certain a dedicated air fryer would be better at being an air fryer, but considering we don't have room for that this is the next best thing and it sees very heavy use in our household of 4.

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.
