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 :)

100% 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

[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

You’re definitely overthinking. I use an air fryer for lunch everyday so we bought an Instant Pot 10 quart air fryer and it gave us trouble almost from day one. The controls were flaky, and not responsive and the door was a terrible design. After a few years we swapped to a Ninja DZ401 Foodi 10 Quart 6-in-1 DualZone XL 2-Basket Air Fryer. We’ve had it almost a year and I absolutely love it.

Hopefully this is on-topic enough for this sub! /r/appliances seems to be more focused on the major appliances. This is one of my frequently-visited subs and I just trust y’all, feel like I’m less likely to get hit with corporate shills 😂 I use my air fryer for so many foods when it’s just myself. This was my third one, although this is the only one to die: 1) Tiny, generic brand, gave to my mother when a friend gave me a brand-new Power XL in the box. 2) Power XL - great, used it a lot, but ultimately wanted a bigger one. 3) Instant (-Pot brand) Vortex Pro. Fantastic. Loved having the two levels. Was planning to get the rotisserie attachment. But now it’s just kicked the bucket after about 1-1.5 years of use. Not feeling keen to buy another. So, any suggestions from the /r/cooking hive mind? To me, an air fryer is a cooking tool like any other, but happy to re-post elsewhere if it would be more appropriate. Bonus points if it looks decent on the countertop! Thank you all kindly in advance!!

I’ve has the [Instant Pot Vortex Plus](https://a.co/d/bkdMZrt) for going on 6 years and it’s great, I’ve bought several as house warming and Christmas gifts. Everyone always says it’s amazing

Ah shit well I’m definitely not buying anymore of their products, the instant pot and air fryer I already have will stay but once they stop working I’ll go with another brand

Instant pot vortex plus 10 qt is amazing! 2 shelves, a basket that constantly turns (fries come out amazing without turning) and a rotisserie spit for a smaller whole chicken. I no longer use oven or stove and rarely microwave due to this and my IP pressure cookers.

Well, first, restaurants are deep frying their fries in a large professional deep fryer. Personally, I feel the best air fryer for fries is a toaster oven style air fryer that has a rotisserie basket. Not a toaster oven with a air fryer setting but an air fryer with a oven setting. There is a difference. Fries in that rotisserie basket constantly tumbling just gets super crispy. But If you are using frozen fries. Any air fryer works great DO NOT OVER FILL. Max temp for 15+ min and toss several times during cooking. If using fresh potatoes. Don't. Not till you can successfully cook frozen fries
