"Been air frying the hell outta veggies, frozen stuff, chicken thighs, all that - and it's holding up like a champ."
"we use the hell out of it for wings, salmon and fried Twinkie’s and it has never let us down."
"it has a rotisserie mode, in case you want your fries to be tumbled while cooked and a "spit" that secures your whole chicken."

"now bought a Insta Vortex Plus. They use good Teflon unlike the Xiaomi"
"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."
"The cleaning is pretty much similar to an oven, nadedetach din yung catch at front cover kaya madali lang"

"the window extremely helpful for keeping an eye on food that you don't have a actual air fryer recipe for ... that window allows me to look at the progress without opening it up over and over again"
"Recently got an Instant Vortex Plus with the window to see inside. Can't imagine using one without the window tbh."
"you can see your food cooking through the window, so you can monitor what you’re cooking"

"It is the perfect size for one or two people."
"It is the perfect size for me. ... Cooling for one, sometimes two."
"I did have the air fryer adapter for my six quart instant pot, but it was way too small for two of us. If you're cooking for more than two people, I would get an eight quart."

"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"
"the plastic burning smell never went away"

"but it doesnt convert the 2 baskets into one."
"If you're cooking for more than two people, I would get an eight quart."
"you can't use the rotisserie if you have the air fryer packed with any other ingredients, like QVC claims."
I have the one without glass window for 6-7 years and it’s working perfectly.
r/airfryer • Don't believe America's Test Kitchen, the Instant Pot Air Fryer Is Mediocre to Bad At Best ->Yo, we were in the same boat not long ago - didn’t want any of that non-stick teflon coating bs, or plastic trays that smell weird when hot. Ended up grabbing the Instant Vortex Plus (stainless steel one) and it’s been solid. Trays are full stainless, no peeling, no coating drama. Cleans easy af. It just works. Been air frying the hell outta veggies, frozen stuff, chicken thighs, all that - and it's holding up like a champ. We also looked at the Cuisinart toaster oven w/ air fryer function - pretty sure you can swap the trays for stainless if needed. That one looks more like a real oven tho, more space but also bigger footprint on the counter. My advice? Skip anything that has non-stick unless you like scraping black flakes off your food in 6 months. Ask me how I know 😅 TL;DR: – Stainless trays or bust. – Instant Vortex Plus (SS version) been goin strong. – Avoid non-stick if you wanna keep your sanity.
r/BuyItForLife • Non-toxic air fryer, recommendations? Please share your favorites ->I haven’t that much Air Fryer experience but I’m very happy with the 6 qt Instant Vortex Plus. I hardly use my oven anymore.
r/AirFryers • Moving: Need Air Fryer Recommendations 🕺💃 ->1. For basket fryers cleaning the basket is going to be the same everywhere. Remove the grill and clean both separately. The only difference is whether the basket/grill are non-stick or dishwasher safe. 2. Parchment paper defeats air flow and therefore the purpose of an air fryer. In addition for foods which give off a lot of fat, such as chicken legs, the food would be lying in a pool of fat on the parchment paper. You want the fat to drain in order to crisp the food. 3. Top reviewed is Instant Pot Vortex Plus 6QT. Not the most robust unit out there. Support and parts can be problematic. The unit will likely last as long as the non-stick coating does. Non-stick coatings or all cookware has a limited life.
r/AirFryers • Moving: Need Air Fryer Recommendations 🕺💃 ->I have it and the basket is falling apart. I use the heck out of it. Love it other than I wish the basket held up better.
r/AmericasTestKitchen • Best air fryer ->can't go wrong with an instant vortex
r/airfryer • What is the best air fryer or brand? ->I recommend the Instant Pot Vortex Plus 6QT XL Air Fryer 🤷♂️
r/airfryer • New Air Fryer Recommendations ->Whatever capacity you get, make sure the basket is on the wider side rather than the taller side since food cooks best in a single layer. America's Test Kitchen recommends the Instant Vortex Plus 6-Quart in their latest air fryer cookbook.
r/airfryer • When choosing an air fryer, which capacity are you more likely to choose? ->I have this one and have nothing but good things to say about it
r/AmericasTestKitchen • Best air fryer ->Even kitchen aid isn’t what it used to be… if you want a quality stand mixer built like a tank, you’ve got to look at Bosch or Kenwood. I have an instant vortex plus 6 qt myself. Crisper plate nonstick coating is crap, but the rest seems sturdy enough.
r/airfryer • Air fryer that won't die? ->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.

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.
