"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."

"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."

"3 layer frying pa kaya very convenient"
"Large capacity"
"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."

"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"

09Klr650 1.0My 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 :)
Alwaysamazed1977 0.2Instant 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.
anteaterKnives 0.2> 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.
-BananaLollipop- 0.2Philips, Instant Pot/Vortex, and Cosori are all better than Ninja. Ninja has bad non-stack and low power.
beestingers 0.2Mine 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.
benthic_vents 0.2Ours 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.
Best_Day_3041 0.2Just 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.
boderek20 1.0100% recommend the Instant Pot if using for an oven too. It's big at 10qt and has racks like an actual oven instead of a basket. I've never used the rotisserie but still think it's worth it. The loudest noise it makes is the beep for when it's up to temp or finished, but you might be able to change the volume? Never been an issue for me so haven't looked into that. And it's cheap on Amazon right now! https://a.co/d/aSC9WEB
bubbamike1 0.3I 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.
I'm pretty happy with my Instant Vortex Plus. The one with the window is $89 at Amazon. No app.
bxttlecry 0.3[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
