"The Instant Pot Vortex Plus has a pleasant low whoosh. ... If it didn’t heat up and beep I’d darn near use it as a white noise machine to go to sleep."

"now bought a Insta Vortex Plus. They use good Teflon unlike the Xiaomi"
"The cleaning is pretty much similar to an oven, nadedetach din yung catch at front cover kaya madali lang"
"I like the oven style and tray vs basket style because easier to clean. ... I just pop the trays in a dishwasher along with the dishes."

"it’s got a rotisserie! I don’t have the shake anything"
"The fry basket rotisserie attachment alone is worth it to me."
"it has a rotisserie mode, in case you want your fries to be tumbled while cooked and a "spit" that secures your whole chicken."

"How long does it take for the plastic smell to go away? I just got one and can't handle the smell 😩 ... Right? It's so bad and the plastic smell gets into the food. ... I did that and it still stinks 😂 I just use it for reheating food now since I don't have a microwave lol the taste is less noticeable though"

i have a 4l basic air fryer from instant pot. using it regularly for the past couple of years and very happy with the purchase. these days you can find all sorts of fancy models with glass doors, traditional oven like design, etc. air fryers are just miniature convection ovens.
r/Frugal_Ind • Air Fryer Oven Vs Convection Microwave ->[Instant Pot](https://s.shopee.ph/AUislZZh2b). We bought the older version ng Air Fryer nila sa Mall 3 years ago and hanggang ngayon nagagamit pa rin namin. Puro 1500W energy ng Air Fryers nila kaya energy efficient talaga, 30-40% lang kasi ng kuryente nagagamit compared sa other oven/air fryer. Iyang Instant Vortex Plus 6-in-1 Air Fryer naman nila is 6 modes na kaya less hassle tantiyahin niluluto + touch screen na rin. Sabi ng nag-assist sa amin sa mall is safe for dishwasher tapos madali linisan iyong coating ng basket ng model na mayroon kami. But wipes lang pinanglilinis namin. And upon checking is diyan din sa Vortex Plus. Affiliate link posted. https://preview.redd.it/t0liy6ja6ubf1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a70acbae0863fe28a1576a70ddaec1bd61fb2bb

r/ShopeePH • Air fryer recos ->I think for that size is Oven size na, walang top brand out there na may available ng 9L at least.

r/ShopeePH • What's the best air fryer in terms of value / cost? ->I got the Instant Pot Vortex Plus last Christmas and I have used it quite a bit. It isn’t great for everything so I wouldn’t consider it the only tging you need in your kitchen. I read you should not use many cooking sprays on the non-stick coating in an air fryer so I got an inexpensive spray bottle and put vegetable oil in it to spray my air fryer or food in it. I usually don’t bother preheating my air fryer before putting my food in. It just sits in the air fryer during the preheating time. I did not use liners for a long time but got some silicone liners for my air fryer recently. I did not find clean up too hard without them but they are nice to have.
r/airfryer • This Christmas have opened me to the world of air frying. I've never used one before. ->What kind of air fryer is it? What are you trying to cook? I have the Instant Pot Vortex Plus. The machine turns on when you insert the basket and then you select what function, temperature and cooking time you want and push start. The machine then will run for a couple of minutes and then beep and say on the screen to add food. You don’t have to factor in the preheat time in the cooking time as it does it automatically. Halfway through the cooking time it will beep and say turn food. When it reaches the end of the set time it stops and you can remove the food. If the food needs more time you can start it up again for however long you think it needs. Kind of like using a microwave. I usually just put my food in my air fryer and insert the basket and let it just be in there during the brief reheating time. When it says to turn food I pull the basket out and either shake it or turn over the food and put it back in. On my air fryer you can pull the basket out whenever you want and the cooking will pause and restart when you insert the basket unless you cancel the cooking cycle or unplug the machine.
r/airfryer • This Christmas have opened me to the world of air frying. I've never used one before. ->Thanks for the reply. I have an Instant Pot Vortex Plus, which is great, but I often have to stage food and keep stuff warm, so want to try a dual. Might give the Paderno a try, it has good reviews and it's $150, wife likes blue.
r/airfryer • Paderno Vida Air Fryer ->Word! I have the Vortex plus.
r/airfryer • I analyzed Reddit for the 20 most recommended air fryers in the past year ->Instant Pot Vortex Plus! I just bought the version with a window and it's pretty fantastic. Very noticeable upgrade over the one I had previously (Bella) which was actually great, but I couldn't find replacement parts for it.
r/BuyItForLife • The Best Air Fryer to Buy Now? ->It’s the sides, too, at least for mine (not a ninja).
r/airfryer • New 2 basket Air Fryer ->Oh, I have an instant pot vortex plus.
r/airfryer • New 2 basket Air Fryer ->You can test it by cooking something, then carefully touching the side.
r/airfryer • New 2 basket Air Fryer ->The Instant Pot Vortex Plus has a pleasant low whoosh. If it didn’t heat up and beep I’d darn near use it as a white noise machine to go to sleep.
r/airfryer • Can you recommend quiet air fryer please! ->I have the Instant Vortex Plus. It's the most used item in my kitchen, bar none.
r/airfryer • Why do you guys prefer dual air fyers? ->My plus has been running great for over a year now
r/airfryer • Warning: Instant air fryers are garbage and their customer service is even worse ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
