Really comprehensive review. I was going to go w/ the larger oven but was fortunate to come across your info on the browning discrepancy between racks on the big one!
We have loved having an air fryer for years. I can't say I'm interested in all in the oven model. Having more recipes would be awesome. Thanks for all you do!
You r my hero .. open honest. And a REAL human being…. I have the instant air fryer and I love it. I have had three other air fryers The instant is best moderately priced fryer… the best of any I have used! The rubber thingy are a disappointment.. I use my fryer daily… thanks for all your work producing these honest videos.
Purchased our air fryer about 3 weeks ago online at Macy’s. Finally came in the other day and I’m glad we got the smaller air fryer! ❤️ Thank you for your video!
It's recommended in the manuals to swap the trays when it's time to flip the food. that helps it cook evenly as the heat from the previous top tray will go upwards, and help them brown better all around. convection is usually better all-around because it continuously circles hot air around the entire cavity and keeping temp control while air fryers only produce heat from the top like a broiler system.
YES EXACTLY, Getting double the amount of items and no reaching down inside the basket. Air circulates better because the racks have more airspace between
The vortex plus on air fry mode tells you to rotate the food during the cycle. It even says it happens in the Manuel. I got my mom the vortex for Mother’s Day and it’s been great so far, I made chicken wings with the rotisserie basket and they were so good
I bought the Instant Vortex Plus Oven because I want to use it to bake. I could never figure out a good way bake items in my basket type of air fryer. I use the rotating basket to cook my chicken breast and they come out great. I do the same with cooking french fries.
I have the rotisserie oven and have made tons of veggies in and out of the basket. I love my veggies well done adds more flavour I think. I've rotated 3 chickens, fries and never been disappointed. Last week I couldn't get my rod to rotate I'm hoping I did something wrong or my chicken was to heavy? I settled for just baking it on the rod which was still delicious.
I’ve told people for so long, practically since the countertop air fryer oven models came out, that they’re just not worth the money because of the reasons you showed in your video. Even though you get more room you get less than desired results on that second layer and you might as well just get a countertop convection oven which can do more. The only saving grace about the instant pot oven is that it comes with the rotisserie basket, so wings might cook a little bit better because they’re constantly being rotated. But that’s really about it...especially with the fact that it has a 400° max Your videos are very helpful and detailed for people on the fence about what to get of all products. Thanks again for a great instructional and unboxing
Very helpful video. I have had very limited success with 2 countertop convection ovens over the years. This reaffirms my suspicion that, for my purposes at least, an airfryer is the way to go.
I have a Cuisinart oven type which was a warranty replacement for their failed steam oven. It performs well, but is a bear to clean. I think I will add a drawer type. Trying to decide between the Instant of the Cosori.
Again, I love your reviews! When I saw that IP came out with an air fryer I became super interested in them. I do several things in my oven now that would be so much better in the smaller fryer or on the top layer of the oven. All really great information! Thank you!
Thanks for this! I love the idea of the oven style but they are too tall to fit under my cabinets. I went with the Cosori and have been happy with it. I prefer its removable basket over the design of the Vortex drawer.
Thank you Nili!!! Excellent review!!! I have to admit I was very uncomfortable when you plugged both of them in the same outlet. I’m glad your husband is good with wiring! ❤️
Great comparison video. If I were getting one of the two, I would get the 6 quart. The chicken turned out more efficiently in the 6 quart. Too much rotating shelves, and probably more cook time, in the 10 quart. Thanks for the review. You are awesome and thorough!❤️❤️
Have you tried making a piece of regular toast in the Instant Vortex Plus Oven? I'm curious how this unit would work as a toaster? Considering getting one to replace my toaster oven. If you haven't tried toast in this oven, would you mind giving it a try?
If you were to pick between the cosori air fryer, and the intant vortex air fryer which would you pick.??? I own the ninja max pressure cooker and love it, but it has its pros and cons. Cons being i have odd angle baking pans that dont fit it but do in my cosori. I only got my cosori yesterday and now ive used it im not sure. The ninja makes the best toast. But im not 100% sure with the cosori which then made me think to try out the instant vortex. But i dont need or want 3 air fryers. The intant looks more simple to use as well. So im confused. Com 🤔 helppppp!!! I live in the u.k and the intant vortex 6qt is available but the mini intant oven is not available in the uk.
Please do some of your favorite air fry meals! I watched one on doing crispy kale, it did a much better job than using your oven and much quicker. I feel these air fryers will save on electricity
This is exactly the comparison I was looking for! I have two questions. I'm wondering where the exhaust is on these ovens and whether or not you can keep them under your cupboards. Is the exhaust from Air fryers extra greasy? Also, is there a place to wind the cords, LOL one of my little pet peeves. Thanks for the review 😁
I have been trying to decide if I need the Vortex or Foodi grill. I already have the Duo Crisp. But sometimes wish I could air fry more fries or more chicken strips if I got the bigger air fryers. Is the Vortex a lot wider than the Duo Crisp?
I recently bought the instant pot Vortex, the smaller one. I have been second-guessing my choice, thinking I needed the bigger one now but after watching your video, I realize I have the best one. I really like it, have made grilled cheese, potato wedges, hot dogs, and want to try roasting veggies.
I don’t have either but I’ve had a basket type (which broke after 4 months) and an air fryer oven (power xl afo 6 qt). I have to switch the trays around and it’s really annoying. I bought it for the rotisserie (which I have used 3x in two years). The door handle broke off, they wouldn’t replace it or sell me a new door and it still works but I have to use a fork to get the door open. I am not that happy with the Browning. I think the Mealthy CrispLid browns better (I’ve done side-by-side cooking tests).
Best unboxing out there as usual, thanks! In your opinion, how does actual crisping compare to the Instant Pot Duo Crisp? Other than size & basket differences. Thanks, great review!
I got the Instant Vortex Air Fyer oven. The first time I used it I ran it for 40 minutes at 360 without any food but with the three trays inside it. When it was done, I removed the trays and washed it with detergent and water. Then I put the rotisserie in for ten minutes, took it out and washed it. While I was doing that, I placed a pyrex bowl with lemon and water. I cooked in it immediately after and the food was great. Odor removed! The odor is coming from the manufacturer's oils to protect the coat of the oven and the accessories that come with it.
Why does my Instant Vortex air fryer keep increasing temperature on it's own? I am trying to make jerky treats for my dog. I set on bake at 180 for 1 hour. And after 20 minutes or so. I hear a beep and the temp. rises to 400. This has ruined many treats. What is going on???
I just happened upon this review, I bought my Instant Vortex Plus Oven on Black Friday, 2022. I have several things I agree with you about this model. First, what appealed to me about this was the window! I do love that feature, which was my main decision as to why I chose this model. I agree with you about the dual shelves and the cooking results - disappointing. The top shelf does cook better and faster, but the 2nd bottom shelf leaves a lot to desire! You need to swap the shelves out OR at the end, put the bottom shelf up to the top position to finish crisping whatever you are cooking, ad the result can be dried-out foods, bummer! Also, getting a chicken in the cage for a rotisserie can be "challenging! Wow! Better have a small chicken! It can also dry out quickly as well if you don't babysit it. My #1 complaint about the Instant "brand" itself is the non-stick covering for both their air fryers and their Instant Pots! The accessories made by the company, both air fryers and the Instant Pots, the accessories that come with the devices and the ones you can purchase in addition still by the same Instant brand itself, the non-stick coatings ALL rub off way too EASILY! The company either needs to either not use the coating OR use a better quality coating that will not rub off and yes, it does easily rub off even using a sponge to wash it with. The company does go 'cheaply' with the non-stick materials they use for any of the appliances they make, at least that is my experience with purchasing and using their products. I do not want to ingest the coating! You cannot cover the trays of the air fryer or you block the airflow. I've tried using aluminum foil and poking ALL the holes in it, but that does not work very well. Small bread loaf accessories for the Instant pot, or the shelf for the inside, and the spring cheesecake pan, ALL their coatings are scratched and are coming off. With the popularity and supposed high quality this brand has become, this company has really disappointed me in this area. I DO feel it is a harmful health concern we should not be having to deal with over the life of these appliances/accessories. From my experience alone, it is pushing me towards a better brand that may cost a little more, but I know their product does not have this issue, I know this due to friends who have a different brand and have no troubles with the coatings used. Next air fryer I get I will go back to and purchase the basket type due to inequal cooking in a dual shelf and as you said, it takes more time. I will not be purchasing the Instant brand. Disappointing. I should point out here that the liner for the instant pots is stainless steel, thankfully! They did go correctly in that aspect, as well as the basket they provide, or was that accessory available for purchase separately, I cannot remember now? I do love the instant pot, oh yes! I cannot cook without it now! I am still going to purchase a regular 'oil' deep fryer in addition to the air fryer. I find some foods just get too dried out with the air fryers and would taste much better deep-fried instead with more fat in them. Air fryers can often dry foods out too much no matter how carefully you cook them, in my opinion. Getting a little off-topic here, but in my opinion, the creation of air fryers does seem to go along with the government food guidelines and the appeal to some people of lessening the number of fats in our diets when we know it's not the fats that cause harm! It's the seed oils! Just a funny little fact, one well-known company that makes deep fryers, in their instructions, does state not to deep fry in animal fats, ha, ha! From everything I've read, there is nothing wrong with using lard, tallow, or duck fats! In fact, it is said animal fats are proven not to go rancid as quickly as the seed oils do, lol! Oh, anyway, that will also become an addition to my kitchen regardless of the air fryers!
I am seriously considering getting rid of my basket-type air fryers (2 of them) now that I have the Ninja Foodi Grill. My husband and I both like the Ninja so much better because of its versatility.
Never carried for the ovens reason air fryers are 1 level. One reviewer said it goes into preheat by default?. Its the physics of cooking, air fryer blows hot air directly onto food in confined space, convection oven blows hot air around whole cavity of oven gently passing over the food. You need a wire basket in convection oven so air passes 360 around food to get air fryer effect
No, but it's only on certain programs. So if you don't want it to say "turn food" choose the "bake" program. It cooks the same way without the turn food interruption 👍🏼
Okay when it came to the vortex oven the one with the two shelves in there he was supposed to put the shovels in the bottom when I told you to turn them over you were supposed to flip them the shovels on the top to the bottom and the one the bottom to the top that way they both end up the same Chris penis on all of your chicken because I have been doing it like that and all my chicken come out like the top chicken that you show on their both of them I hope this info helps you
I agree for the most part... The only time the oven might be the better choice is in a dorm or studio apartment where you'd be replacing a regular oven... Or if someone is REALLY into the rotisserie feature 🙃🙂🙃🙂
You may want to try out the rotisserie function and let us know how well it works. When I was doing my research I saw a few reviews that were not so good with the rotisserie function but then again there is always a learning curve. Thanks again I look forward to your next video 🧐
I bought the oven type and gave it away because I didn’t find it was worth all the extra doings to get what it produced - maybe someone else thinks it’s worth it, but not me.
Pulling out trays crumbs falling.... I just put a pan on the door so nothing falls down. Plus if I need to take something out before others it's right there. you are getting double amount 2 trays vs 1 basket. sticking my hand down in the basket vs pulling out trays to load or flip. I cook daily just for me in the vortex more than IP...but even freezer prepping food is a breeze ready for air fryer quick meal.. easy peasy breast strips oiled then oats grind up with seasoning coated then frozen single sheet freezer then bagged pull out place on rack no preheat 400 F 20 minutes. $2.00 lb Walmart breasts homemade vs. premade with more ingredients....I buy 3 packs of breast and on the day I buy, I separate cut and leave some whole. while I am preparing for the freezer I have my oat breaded strips cooking ready for my lunch or dinner while I whip out freezer meals. I grind my oats and store plain and seasoned, I have oil already preseasoned with seasonings sitting in bottles for daily use. I (63YO) come home at 7pm from work pull out my frozen chicken either plain or beaded, using the seasoned oil for the plain, and use the solid bottom pan & coat the chicken on it and 400F top shelf 15 min no preheat, flip and check for done ....preheat if your preparing for faster. The oat coated strips already are oiled pre-frozen cook top trays with holes ...add some frozen veggies, below the oven floor with solid pan and seasoned oil or micro or instant pot or really on the stove add my seasoned oil and I have dinner ready 30 minutes and my pans already washed to sit down and eat.OOH and don't get me started with pre-cooked potatoes in micro or oven keep them in the fridge or whip them up while you are doing prepping then cut them into disk or wedges SEASONED OIL and top-shelf basket tray such crispy potatoes and fluffy inside. I do the whole meal meat pot and veggies at once then potatoes go on the top shelf to finish crisping while I plate and wash my other few items. YES I LOVE MY VORTEX PLUS :)
I have tried both and I had the same results. Very disappointed with Instant Vortex Plus Oven as I luv to air fry chicken breasts, homemade burgers and veggies (asparagus/broccoli). Hands down Instant Vortex Air fryer is the still the best!!!
I had the Votex Plus but returned it. I was mainly interested in doing the whole chicken. I was unable to find chicken 4 pounds or less. It seemed to cook other things ok but I’m not big on that kind of food.
"handle breaks all the time on the bucket style." Surprisingly low quality from this a very highly regarded Brand in a brutally competitive market as absolutely perfectly said here.
Thank you for doing this video!! I have been trying to figure out which style of air fryer to get and this was super helpful!!!
You're welcome! 🥰
I love that you get to play with and try new kitchen toys I call them! And that you share your thoughts with us! Thank you! 💕
Really comprehensive review. I was going to go w/ the larger oven but was fortunate to come across your info on the browning discrepancy between racks on the big one!
We have loved having an air fryer for years. I can't say I'm interested in all in the oven model. Having more recipes would be awesome. Thanks for all you do!
read my quick diy cheap freezer chicken meals above
You r my hero .. open honest. And a REAL human being…. I have the instant air fryer and I love it. I have had three other air fryers The instant is best moderately priced fryer… the best of any I have used! The rubber thingy are a disappointment.. I use my fryer daily… thanks for all your work producing these honest videos.
I think your idea is great. To put an item that does not need to be crispy on the bottom rack of the 10 Qt. I am going to try that. Thank You so much.
Purchased our air fryer about 3 weeks ago online at Macy’s. Finally came in the other day and I’m glad we got the smaller air fryer! ❤️ Thank you for your video!
I agree with you Nili. I much prefer the air fryer over the the air fryer oven. The results are quicker, faster and better. Good job on the video!

YES EXACTLY, Getting double the amount of items and no reaching down inside the basket. Air circulates better because the racks have more airspace between
Totally agree with you.
during the food flip in the big oven... you should swap the trays. That always helps me!
Perfect!
The vortex plus on air fry mode tells you to rotate the food during the cycle. It even says it happens in the Manuel. I got my mom the vortex for Mother’s Day and it’s been great so far, I made chicken wings with the rotisserie basket and they were so good

Very helpful video. I have had very limited success with 2 countertop convection ovens over the years. This reaffirms my suspicion that, for my purposes at least, an airfryer is the way to go.
Thank you for this. I’ve been trying to figure out the difference.
Great video! Thank you for your detailed analysis, so helpful!
I have a Cuisinart oven type which was a warranty replacement for their failed steam oven. It performs well, but is a bear to clean. I think I will add a drawer type. Trying to decide between the Instant of the Cosori.
12:37 The Vortex Plus oven is still on the heater cooldown stage
I just got the 4 qt can't wait to try it if it is even close to that 6qt I'll be happy! Mine has stainless steel wrapped case.
That model looks great! I know you'll love it!
i love that im a subscriber, ive been thinking about buying something like this.. thanks for the info
I’m can decide what air fryer that I want, but this video is extremely informative. Thanks for taking the time👍🏾😉
This is a great review, thank you for doing it.
I love my vortex air fryer , should have got one sooner 😍
Excuse my curiosity but how many of these appliances do you have. How do you store them? They all do great things but they take up so much space.
Again, I love your reviews! When I saw that IP came out with an air fryer I became super interested in them. I do several things in my oven now that would be so much better in the smaller fryer or on the top layer of the oven. All really great information! Thank you!
Thanks for this! I love the idea of the oven style but they are too tall to fit under my cabinets. I went with the Cosori and have been happy with it. I prefer its removable basket over the design of the Vortex drawer.
I was not send an instruction book with my air fryer by way of Amazon. How do you change a charger. A light went off at top of fryer plus message.
Hi can you help explain why the temperature doesn’t increase in increments of one? My vortex jumps in increments of 2.
How is clean up after a rotisserie chicken in the oven?
Does it make a difference in the larger oven, does it make a difference if you rotate the trays when you turn the food?
Yes, if you rotate the trays will cook more evenly but cook time will still have to be longer than the drawer style to get the same level of crispness
Thank you Nili!!! Excellent review!!! I have to admit I was very uncomfortable when you plugged both of them in the same outlet. I’m glad your husband is good with wiring! ❤️
Great comparison video. If I were getting one of the two, I would get the 6 quart. The chicken turned out more efficiently in the 6 quart. Too much rotating shelves, and probably more cook time, in the 10 quart. Thanks for the review. You are awesome and thorough!❤️❤️
It's a good thing I didn't get the oven one I'm happy with the smaller version thanks😊
Good job, thanks for pointing out the oven caveat of the lower levels
Swap the tray half way through. Easy enough
Have you tried making a piece of regular toast in the Instant Vortex Plus Oven? I'm curious how this unit would work as a toaster? Considering getting one to replace my toaster oven. If you haven't tried toast in this oven, would you mind giving it a try?
Wow, I almost bought those tenderloins today! Instead bought the non breaded..glad I found your videos, new subbie! Btw, love your name!
Kind of left out the main rotisserie feature in the Vortex Air Fryer Plus...?
Is the oven PTFE and PFOA free?
I can't wait to have mine thank you for the video I made the right choice
can you reheat soups/broth in the vortex plus oven? I dont' have a microwave & was wondering if the vortex plus oven can do the job
Yes, you could, although using a pan on the stove would probably be more effective
If you were to pick between the cosori air fryer, and the intant vortex air fryer which would you pick.??? I own the ninja max pressure cooker and love it, but it has its pros and cons. Cons being i have odd angle baking pans that dont fit it but do in my cosori. I only got my cosori yesterday and now ive used it im not sure.
The ninja makes the best toast. But im not 100% sure with the cosori which then made me think to try out the instant vortex. But i dont need or want 3 air fryers.

I have two questions. I'm wondering where the exhaust is on these ovens and whether or not you can keep them under your cupboards. Is the exhaust from Air fryers extra greasy?
Also, is there a place to wind the cords, LOL one of my little pet peeves.
Thanks for the review 😁
They exhaust out the back. Just make sure it’s a few inches from the wall
I have been trying to decide if I need the Vortex or Foodi grill. I already have the Duo Crisp. But sometimes wish I could air fry more fries or more chicken strips if I got the bigger air fryers. Is the Vortex a lot wider than the Duo Crisp?

It would be nice to compare against the Instant Pot Air Fryer/Lid.
I don’t have either but I’ve had a basket type (which broke after 4 months) and an air fryer oven (power xl afo 6 qt). I have to switch the trays around and it’s really annoying.

Hello, for the fryer vortex plus..can i heat the rubber protectors? I just got mine today and i removed them but I wasn't sure if i should throw them.
Yes, the silicone protectors can stay on during cooking
Can you compare to the gowise?
Thanks so much! My Phillips air fryer is close to crapping out so I will get the Instapot Vortex.
Nice
Your supposed to rotate the shelves in the air fryer with shelves.
Best unboxing out there as usual, thanks! In your opinion, how does actual crisping compare to the Instant Pot Duo Crisp? Other than size & basket differences. Thanks, great review!
How long does the plastic smell goes away
I got the Instant Vortex Air Fyer oven. The first time I used it I ran it for 40 minutes at 360 without any food but with the three trays inside it.

So the instant pot or cosori?
Instant Pot
Thank you both!
I don't pre-heat and returned the Instant because of the forced pre-heat each time and you can't turn it off.
I purchased the oven model Instant air fryer for my parents and they love it.
I have the Ninja air fryer and grill combo. It's really nice!
I am seriously considering getting rid of my basket-type air fryers (2 of them) now that I have the Ninja Foodi Grill. My husband and I both like the Ninja so much better because of its versatility.
I've cooked steaks in mine on the grill setting and also air fried chicken and used it to crisp up the skins of baby potatoes!
Does it comes with a recipe book?
No recipe book included. I've been googling things but haven't found much on the vortex. Theres more info on vortex plus.
Okay
What are the dimensions?
I think 13.23 front across Lx 13.23 from front to bac W x 14.37 H
You have to take out a cardboard inside the basket in the instant vortex
I can't run 2 Instant Pots at the same time on the same circuit.
Never carried for the ovens reason air fryers are 1 level. One reviewer said it goes into preheat by default?. Its the physics of cooking, air fryer blows hot air directly onto food in confined space, convection oven blows hot air around whole cavity of oven gently passing over the food. You need a wire basket in convection oven so air passes 360 around food to get air fryer effect
what is your favorite air fryer?
can you turn off the "turn food" and just let it cook
No, but it's only on certain programs. So if you don't want it to say "turn food" choose the "bake" program. It cooks the same way without the turn food interruption 👍🏼
Okay when it came to the vortex oven the one with the two shelves in there he was supposed to put the shovels in the bottom when I told you to turn them over you were supposed to flip them the shovels on the top to the bottom and the one the bottom to the top that way they both end up the same Chris penis on all of your chicken because I have been doing it like that and all my chicken come out like the top chicken that you show on their both of them I hope this info helps you
Thank you! The smaller drawer type is the way to go.
I agree for the most part... The only time the oven might be the better choice is in a dorm or studio apartment where you'd be replacing a regular oven... Or if someone is REALLY into the rotisserie feature
🙃🙂🙃🙂
You may want to try out the rotisserie function and let us know how well it works. When I was doing my research I saw a few reviews that were not so good with the rotisserie function but then again there is always a learning curve. Thanks again I look forward to your next video 🧐
Yes, I'm planning to play with the rotisserie 👍🏼
It actually says to swap trays it is not rocket science.
These Instant vortex Airfryer ,have a big problem ,the plastic stink when you are cooking ,I dump the one I had
You are suppose to rotate trays just saying
Like the comparison video
I bought the oven type and gave it away because I didn’t find it was worth all the extra doings to get what it produced - maybe someone else thinks it’s worth it, but not me.
Pulling out trays crumbs falling.... I just put a pan on the door so nothing falls down. Plus if I need to take something out before others it's right there.
you are getting double amount 2 trays vs 1 basket. sticking my hand down in the basket vs pulling out trays to load or flip.
I cook daily just for me in the vortex more than IP...but even freezer prepping food is a breeze ready for air fryer quick meal..
easy peasy breast strips oiled then oats grind up with seasoning coated then frozen single sheet freezer then bagged pull out place on rack no preheat 400 F 20 minutes. $2.00 lb Walmart breasts homemade vs. premade with more ingredients....I buy 3 packs of breast and on the day I buy, I separate cut and leave some whole. while I am preparing for the freezer I have my oat breaded strips cooking ready for my lunch or dinner while I whip out freezer meals. I grind my oats and store plain and seasoned, I have oil already preseasoned with seasonings sitting in bottles for daily use.
I (63YO) come home at 7pm from work pull out my frozen chicken either plain or beaded, using the seasoned oil for the plain, and use the solid bottom pan & coat the chicken on it and 400F top shelf 15 min no preheat, flip and check for done ....preheat if your preparing for faster. The oat coated strips already are oiled pre-frozen cook top trays with holes ...add some frozen veggies, below the oven floor with solid pan and seasoned oil or micro or instant pot or really on the stove add my seasoned oil and I have dinner ready 30 minutes and my pans already washed to sit down and eat.OOH and don't get me started with pre-cooked potatoes in micro or oven keep them in the fridge or whip them up while you are doing prepping then cut them into disk or wedges SEASONED OIL and top-shelf basket tray such crispy potatoes and fluffy inside. I do the whole meal meat pot and veggies at once then potatoes go on the top shelf to finish crisping while I plate and wash my other few items.
YES I LOVE MY VORTEX PLUS :)
😎
I have tried both and I had the same results. Very disappointed with Instant Vortex Plus Oven as I luv to air fry chicken breasts, homemade burgers and veggies (asparagus/broccoli). Hands down Instant Vortex Air fryer is the still the best!!!
I had the Votex Plus but returned it.
I was mainly interested in doing the whole chicken.
I was unable to find chicken 4 pounds or less.
It seemed to cook other things ok but I’m not big on that kind of food.
"handle breaks all the time on the bucket style." Surprisingly low quality from this a very highly regarded Brand in a brutally competitive market as absolutely perfectly said here.
Oven is terrible, thanks for sharing. I will buy a Philip's stainless one.
With the noisy beeping and non-stick coatings, I am so turned off by these appliances.
FYI when the Vortex tells you to rotate or turn your food, move the bottom rack to the top and top to the bottom. I hope that helps 😀
