Vortex Plus ClearCook + OdorErase

I was looking at this one too, the design really looks ideal, but the heat comes from behind, which I didn't like. Fist off is to ask yourself if you really require dual basket or not. If not I'd suggest a 6qt basket design like the Instant Pot Vortex 6qt with Odor Ease, this is hands down the best designed, most feature packed air fryer right now at that size and price point. They have a dual basket model as well. If you prefer a ceramic fryer, check out the Corsori TurboBlaze. It lacks some features compared to the Vortex, but is also excellent. I have tried Ninja air fryers before and was not impressed with the features and build quality.

Just bought this to replace my Instant Vortex. I was looking for a ceramic basket fryer and this looked to be the best one I found, especially for the price. I haven't used it enough yet to really evaluate, but so far it seems great, and also looks good on my countertop. It's very compact for it's capacity. I few things I miss from my Vortex is the shake/flip alert, which is such an easy thing to include that I don't know why all fryers don't have this. The other thing I miss from my vortex is the knob, which makes it so much faster to dial in the temp/time. I'm still debating whether I miss the window or not. It's sometimes useful, but not sure if it's really a crucial feature. But otherwise it's a great air fryer.

Yes, or the upgrade version with a clear window and "odor erase" filter, which I have and love.

We got ours from a relative who couldn't get rid of the smell. After a few cycles at 400° the odor went away for us. But I think some folks are more sensitive to the plastic smell than others.

# Instant Pot Vortex Plus 6QT Air Fryer is the top recommendation from some review sites. I have the model with Odor Erase

If you have space, it really is. Just be cautious what you buy there are a million options. This one is the recommendation from America's Test Kitchen and is excellent. https://a.co/d/iyc9Y1F

Can confirm this is the one (updated 11/24).  Also, As mentioned elsewhere the clear cook odorerase version. is the upgrade pick

Instant Pot Vortex Clear Cook Air Fryer 5.7L . Not full price of course. It was on special for $90 over Black Friday/Christmas, so it will be again sometime. Both from Amazon and the Instant Pot website. It's my second, as the first one the LCD screen failed after 2 years, but best Air Fryer for sure. Worth it. I just searched and it's $150 online now at a few places. Or the "slim, no clear window" version is $69 at Instant Pot website. I've not tried the slim version

Thanks I went to Aldi, Kmart, Target, JB Hi-Fi, Spotlight and The Good Guys yesterday. Checked out at least 10 different brands and models. But ended up buying an Instant Pot Vortex Plus ClearCook model from Myer after reading deals on Ozbargain.

I purchased the same Vortex Plus with front window from a thrift store with the "Close Basket" error. The only solution for me was to open the unit and replace the micro switch.  When you close the door, a cone shaped extension, visible on the top front center housing, gets pushed up to the micro switch.  If the micro switch is faulty, you'll always get the "Close Basket" error.  This used unit has been working for close to 2 years.

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 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.
