Instant Pot - Omni 18L 7-in-1 Air Fryer Toaster Oven

I have an Instant Pot one; it was the highest end one at the time.  I hate it.   It's just a bit too narrow (like, 0.25") for half of baking pans due to how they designed it, the racks crash off if there's more than toast on them and you pull them out even a couple of inches, and the panel stopped working about a week after the warranty ended.  I've regretted the choice since we got it, and it's only gotten worse.   I also have an actual Instant Pot (pressure cooker), and love it.  I think it's another case of the brand name meaning nothing if you venture outside their area of expertise. 

Mine is the Instant brand version of an Easy-Bake oven, so a door that opens similar to a conventional oven with two racks inside. I was concerned my model wouldn't work as well compared to a pull out basket, but no issue so far.

Instant Omni, the one that looks like an adult easy bake oven.

I know exactly what lid you are talking about for your instant pot, but I don't know enough about it to give you a recommendation. I specifically bought this model of air fryer because it is multifunction: roast, toast, bake, air fry, dehydrate, rotisserie. Honestly I rarely use anything other than the air fryer function because we also have a separate dehydrator for making our own Carnivore Snax. Also, I never had an easy bake oven as a child so it also brings out my happy 🥰

there are a lot of airfryer brands, what you have to understand is what it really does, each has its own benefit, I prefer using named brands for it, we have a few of them in our rental properties. Ill be giving you some of those we have with its pros and cons. [Instant pot](https://s.shopee.ph/2B0UdNkodg): the 6 in 1 is the more budget version, 5.7 liters, the machine does tempreture well, you can roast, great for fries but its only up to 400, always remember to preheat your air fryer. can cook from frozen, i do this with french fries and does well with dehydration [Instant pot 7 in 1](https://s.shopee.ph/3VVsDy3JqP), is a better product imo, why, you can see as there is a glass there, nakikita mo siya ano nangyayari, how many times ko binubuksan yn air fryer just to check and that makes the heat go down. larger capacity siya and still hangan 400 lang siya. malaki siya, kung maliit kitchen mo i would not recommend. [Oster](https://s.shopee.ph/1VknqQy16C), been few months in one rental property, cant say much but has glass window, so nakikita mo yn pagkain, no need to open, bigger benefit is that it can heat up to a higher degree, 450 siya not the 400 na lagi sa iba, item felt flimsy though but works well, no dehydration system. [Dowell](https://s.shopee.ph/VsGejysLf), small, quite plastic centric, small foot print, and all manual. only up to 392 F. good enough if food is not that much [Perrymisth](https://s.shopee.ph/9zjLyIhb5r), cheapest brand i would trust, up to 392 F, knobb type and no dehydrator, good enough if you just want to cook and are not asking for anything else.
