Instant Vortex Plus 6 Quart Air Fryer Oven

Exact. Replacement! Quick shipping

I recently purchased the Instant Vortex Plus 6-Quart Air Fryer Oven, and I must say, it has quickly become my favorite kitchen appliance. This air fryer oven offers a range of features that make cooking a breeze and delivers deliciously crispy results without the need for excessive oil.

One of the standout features is the clear window and internal light, allowing me to monitor the cooking progress without having to open the basket. This feature not only saves me time but also helps maintain the desired cooking temperature.

The easy-view progress bar is another handy addition, letting me know exactly where I am in the cooking process. It even provides helpful messages for when to add and turn food, ensuring optimal results every time.

The large basket is a definite advantage, accommodating a substantial amount of food. Additionally, the square shape makes it effortless to spread out the food, guaranteeing even cooking throughout. I appreciate that the air fry basket and tray are dishwasher safe and non-stick, making cleanup a breeze after each use.

Not only does this air fryer oven cook quickly, but it also keeps items irresistibly crispy. Whether it’s fries, chicken wings, or even reheating leftovers, the Instant Vortex Plus does an outstanding job of maintaining that desired crunch.

One of the most significant advantages of this appliance is the ability to achieve crispy results using significantly less oil. It promotes healthier eating habits while still delivering that satisfying fried texture.

While there are a few minor drawbacks, such as the space it occupies on the counter and occasional unresponsiveness of the controls, they are outweighed by the overall performance of this air fryer oven. With daily use, I have found these inconveniences to be manageable and far outweighed by the exceptional results it consistently delivers.

Although the included instructions were minimal and lacked a recipe booklet, the Instant Vortex Plus has received high reviews and recommendations, including from America’s Test Kitchen. It has become an indispensable part of my daily cooking routine, and I cannot imagine my kitchen without it.

In conclusion, if you are looking for an air fryer oven that offers large capacity, quick cooking, crisp results, and easier cleanup, the Instant Vortex Plus 6-Quart Air Fryer Oven is an excellent choice. Despite a few minor shortcomings, its performance and versatility make it a must-have for anyone who enjoys quick and delicious meals.

It’s perfect!

I’m originally an Instant Pot Duo Plus owner, and I purchased that back in summer of 2020. In November of 2020, I decided to branch out and purchase the Instant Pot Duo Air-fryer Lid attachment just to get the air-fryer “experience” since I’d never tried one before.

After 2 wonderful years of use, decided it was time to join the big guys and get a stand-alone airfryer because I found myself frequently using the air-fryer lid, more than I expected to. There were some cons with the lid, though, such as having to have your IP available to use with the lid, more to clean up since the air fryer bucket had to go into the inner liner and any juices or liquids that come off the food would go right into the inner liner itself which meant you had to clean both the bucket AND the inner pot of the Instant Pot. I still made it work though, because I LOVED cooking with that lid, and I managed to make so many good masterpieces with that thing!

Fast forward, and my only regret about this stand alone air-fryer is that I didn’t get it sooner! I absolutely LOVE IT! I did encounter that “plastic smell” during the test run, but it went away fairly quickly. First run it was pretty strong; by second run (made a small batch of fries), it was ever so faint, but quickly dissipated. By third run (put a couple Nathan’s Hot Dogs in there), it was gone completely and all I could smell was the delicious food! I’m excited to cook some wings in it soon! I’ve cooked wings in my Instant Pot and crisped them using the air-fryer lid in the past, but it seems you can put the wings straight into the Vortex Plus air fryer: no need for that first step in the Instant Pot! very exciting and looks super roomy. Box says it can fit up to 2.5lbs of chicken which is plenty for me to eat plus have leftovers for a couple days, or even if I want seconds or thirds.

I almost thought I would regret not getting the 6QT (I own a 6QT Instant Pot), but turns out the 4QT is plenty for a single person or maybe if you may cook for 1 or 2 other people (I don’t tend to have a lot of house guests; normally it’s just me and my college aged daughter), and it works out to about the same amount that would fit in the air fryer bucket that came with the lid attachment! The difference is in the Vortex everything is more spread out because of the shape and dimensions (I measured the air fryer basket on the 4QT and it is exactly 8in on each side. Would easily fit accessories that are 7.5″ or smaller), but it fits the same amount of food and gets better circulation.

Also, I see people complaining about the warning label on the front of the unit. Sure, you could easily remove it with isopropyl alcohol by loosening up the adhesive and then scraping it off, but it’s there for a reason. Pretty sure removing it is classified under misuse of the product and would instantly void the warranty if anything were to go wrong and that label were missing from the unit. They’d (the company) def use that as an excuse to not help you with your issue(s) should they arise. So, I say suck it up and let the label stay. It’s there for your own safety and protection in case anything goes wrong and you end up needing to get something replaced or serviced. If it’s that serious, at least just move it to another part of the unit, like maybe the side or back, but def don’t toss it out completely. I personally see no problem with it being where it is, so mine is going to stay put. All I care about is what the inside can do, not something as frivolous as a warning label on the outside.

Anyway, I digress. I wanted to finish off by saying, I recommend this appliance and its size if you are a single person, or maybe a household of two; up to 3 persons. If you believe you are going to be making much larger portions of food, or larger batches for multiple ppl, then adjust accordingly and get the 6QT, 9QT, or even 10QT. I personally do not need anything that big, so 4QTs is plenty. Also I was so glad that I was able to measure the inner basket because it seems that information is so difficult to find anywhere. I mentioned it above, 8″ X 8″ square with rounded corners. I find that a lot of the accessories that will fit into the 6QT Instant Pot, will fit into the 4QT Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer. So I will purchase accessories based on that information. Generally, anything between 7″ and 7.75″ will fit into it unless it’s just very oddly shaped or something.

I’m excited to cook a lot of my other favorite dishes in this unit, as well as dishes I’ve never tried cooking in it before! Worth the money spent! I chose the Instant Vortex Plus because Instant is a brand that I already have experience with, and therefore it’s a brand I trust. I look forward to seeing what else they come out with.

Primero debo decir que me asusté cuando leí lo del olor a plástico, pero, el instructivo del equipo es claro: haga una prueba en vacío tanto iemoo y a tantos grados, ese ciclo sí olió a plástico, posterior a eso, el olor no volvió.
He hecho un poco de todo: mojarra frita, pescado, papas a la francesa evidentemente jaja! Con excelente sabor y bien doradito ( solo hay que ir aprendiendo a manejar tiempos de cocción y temperatura)
Por otra parte, la base es fácil de lavar, el instructivo dice cómo hacerlo, así evitarás que se quede grasits pegada, aunque debo admitir que la base de pronto me da cosa que se ralle con la rejilla, pero trae protectores.
El equipo emite varios bips para avisarte si ya terminó o para que voltees la comida.
En cuanto al consumo eléctrico, no me aumentó ni $10 el pago de luz y eso que la uso de dos a tres veces x semana.

Bien
