First edition InstantPot big air fryer has worked well but broke the tray. 2nd gen with the stainless face is a little beefier so I’m hoping it continues. Zero issues so far.

I have the Instant Vortex Plus 6-qt single basket. Cooling for one, sometimes two. It is the perfect size for me. It is one of the most frequently used items in my kitchen.

Instant vortex plus 6qt has worked amazing for us! We’ve had it for about 2 years now with no issues at all.

I don’t know about a dream but we use the hell out of it for wings, salmon and fried Twinkie’s and it has never let us down.

I'm on my 3rd AF. My first was an Instant Pot 6QT VORTEX Plus and the 2nd was an Instant Pot Vortex Plus 6QT ClearCook Air Fryer, Clear Windows. The 1st one was OK. I really didn't care for the one with clear windows. It just didn't seem to get as hot as the 1st one. I now have a Cosori Air Fryer Pro, Compact 5QT, Ceramic Coating. It gets up to 450ºF unlike the first 2 which maxed out at 400ºF. BTW I don't use the presets. I just set the temp and time myself.

I’ve had my air fryer for 2 years and it has not changed for me. Instant vortex plus 6 qt.

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.

I'm pretty happy with my Instant Vortex Plus. The one with the window is $89 at Amazon. No app.

I bought one back in July and since I unpacked it I haven’t used my oven once. There may be better ones but it’s worked well for me. I like the dial to change time and temp.
