Vortex Pro 10QT Air Fryer Oven

As a general thing, I think toaster oven style are mostly a bit nicer to use and more flexible. The one exception to this is you can get dual basket air fryers that make cooking different foods at the same time easier. With a oven style you have to choose carefully/are limited in what part of a meal you are making. But oven style with trays just seem easier to deal with, there's none of the awkward shape or difficulty loading/unloading foods with trays. Turning food over is simpler if you don't want to be rough with it i.e. something breaded where just shaking the basket is going to knock everything off or break it up (tater tots). If you have only one tray with food on it, just put on tray on top of the other and flip the whole thing and stick it back in. Trays also give you a bit more use of the space since you have multiple levels, not just the bottom. I know some baskets you can put a trivet or something in if you can find something that fits, but it's intrinsic with oven styles. The Vortex Pro specifically also has a rotisserie cage and a spit that comes with it which can be used for many things beyond just a chicken. I'm sure it's not the only one, but it is a feature I know it has that not all do. And you can use a oven style one...well, as an toaster and oven easily. The shape is less confining of the uses. Cleanup is probably a split decision...cleaning the trays is easier, and less work, but if you regularly clean the entire interior, that's more work than just cleaning a basket. But I'm sure pricing needs to be a factor...I have a friend that got a Breville, but I don't know if I would have gotten that as my first air fryer because of the price. I might be convinced to spend on it once my Vortex Pro dies.

been using this [instant pot vortex pro 9 in 1](https://amzn.asia/d/3X291z3) air fryer. I like it, features are helpful. but for baking, my girlfriend prefers her [conventional oven ](https://amzn.asia/d/bDDbnPb)

My 10qt Instapot one has been just fine. Like my regular pressure cooker instapot and ninja creami I just do not use 90% of the settings on it :)

I have the two instant vortex the 6 quart basket and 10 qt oven style. They each have plusses. I like the oven for toasting/reheating since I can put the tray up high. It's better for chicken too since I can do two trays at a time and flip them easily. Good for anything you want in only one layer and I can do two trays of that at a time The basket is great for throwing a lot of veggies at once like asparagus, peppers, broccoli and cauliflower

[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

Philips, Instant Pot/Vortex, and Cosori are all better than Ninja. Ninja has bad non-stack and low power.

Instant pot vortex and I love it! My tray does not fly out when tipped upside down. Easy peasy to clean. Gets blazin hot and fast!

My instant pot vortex is a breeze to clean, often times I can use just a paper towel.

> this was a big issue when they first came out; I assume they've fixed it by now Can confirm - it had a smell the first time I ran through a 15m air fryer cycle (empty, per the quick start instructions) and I haven't smelled anything since.

Mine is the Instant Vortex. Slightly smaller than a standard microwave. Has two shelves. I use it for so much. Its great for chicken thighs, sausages, raw vegetables, making toast. And of course also from freezer to plate items. It heats up leftovers 10x better than a microwave. Pizza and fries especially.

Ours just died after using it almost every day for two years, which is why I’m in this thread. We liked it quite a bit, but agree with Wirecutter’s criticism that the Instant Vortex’s user interface is crap - it’s just a cheap touchscreen with poor sensitivity. I’m looking at other models now - the Instant Vortex was a lovely gift but I don’t think I want to buy another.
