No replacement parts!!!
Amazing air fryer but no replacement parts available. Our crisper plate is all rusted (terrible materials used) and our basket handle broke (terrible materials again) but they don't have any replacement available for either. Stay away.

Malfunctioning Airfryer
It worked fine for a few months but later noticed the lights would keep flickering and screen would turn on and off. It end up catching on fire and blowing out. Don't buy!

Basket Closed
Right basket keeps saying close basket after it's already closed. I really wanted to like it but it just doesn't work. The parts site is also gone so it's either I have to toss it but a new one. Hopefully it's a easy fix I've tried other baskets from other air fryers but all seem to repeat close tray. Stumped.

Photos misleading
Be careful to look through images. I thought I was being sent the fryer in first picture but was sent a different one. I’m sure both work great but was trying to avoid major logos on the front which is why I picked this. Ended up getting one with a huge Instapot logo on front.

Nonstick coating comes off. After just over a year it can no longer be effectively cleaned. Stuff just doesn’t come off.

First item: 2 day old pizza
This air fryer is not only cosmetically beautiful but cooks perfectly. I put a little water on my pizza and especially on the crust. Used the air fryer at the default setting and the pizza came out better than the first night we had ordered it. I cant wait to make more things and be able to look into the windows rather than opening the drawer and stopping the time.

Love the dual baskets
I really loved the first one I bought until 2 weeks into using it the 2nd basket kept saying close basket even though it was closed already & wouldn’t allow me to use it. I returned to Target & ordered another one. So far so good on this new one so maybe I got a lemon the first time. I absolutely love having the 2 baskets to make a complete meal quickly. The light inside the baskets is also a great option so I can see the color of the food to make sure I’m not overcooking it.

Love this!
I had never had an air fryer before this and I am so obsessed now. This makes delicious fried foods without the grease you would usually use to fry food. It also makes fried food leftovers taste just as good as when you had them the first time. Cooking is super fast and I recommend this to everyone!

Doing Right By Brussel Sprouts
This is my second round with an air fryer. The fryer not to be named was a glorified convection oven. It was not good.This bad boy delivers on all the Air Fryer awesomeness promised in so many viral videos. Yes to brownie toast. Yes to smash Brussels sprouts. Hello tastiest fries not from an industrial fryer. I make everything in my Vortex air fryer. Everything, you can boil or fry eggs in an air frier. This is where my mind and my egg consumption exploded. Stand out - the dual basket is amazing. Having 2 4qt baskets make meal prep so easy. One basket for veg/carb and the other for proteins. If you want to cook a larger food item the baskets can be joined as one, perfect for roasts, breads or hole poultry.Clean up is a snap. Mostly removing the cooking trays and quick washing the baskets. If cooking a large meal or several items the turn around between dishes is so quick. The design looks good and is user friendly. More compact than you would think. My counters are heavily contested for space. And I am using my air fryer enough to give it a permanent place and work space. With the summer months approaching I can see the air fryer and a rice maker handling most of my meal preparation until fall. Woohoo for minimal heat radiating.

Love it!
I have been using my Vortex Instant air fryer for a few weeks now and have been enjoying the most amazing food prepared in virtually no time! I love how quick and easy it is to pop food in the fryer and just leave it until it's done! The beautiful red color looks so good with my kitchen decor. The air fryer is easy to clean and takes only a few minutes of my time. It has multiple settings to adjust according to the food you are preparing. I'm so happy!

Great Airfryer
This is the second Air Fryer I own, and I absolutely love it. The air fryer has two separate fry buckets that can be used simultaneously for two different functions. Yes, you can use two buckets at the same time to cook different foods!!! There are six different functions, but I haven't tried them yet( fry, bake, dehydrate, roast, reheat, broil). The air fryer, dehydrate, and roast functions are the ones I am using the most. What I love is that it air-fries the food evenly, makes a perfect crunch, and the food tastes great. The roasting option is a great option to have for cooking veggies. It saves a lot of time for a working person like me. This air fryer is easy to wash and operate. Overall, I think it is excellent for a bigger family and for someone who doesn't want to spend too much time cooking.

One kitchen appliance to rule them all
I'm in love with my air fryer. For context, I only cook for two so I find so much use out of my air fryer. It has essentially made my oven obsolete. I'm able to cook anything I want in there that I'd normally use my oven for, and it's way faster because of the convection (which I don't have in my oven). It also has some other nifty features like dehydrating, which has been fun in exploring dried fruits and meats. This is my favorite appliance.

Instant vortex mini 2qt air fryer
I ordered the instant vortex mini 2qt air fryer for myself. It is the perfect size to beable to cook food for 2 people. I love the new air fry concept because you get to have your food nice and crispy without frying in grease to achieve same results. I didn't know how much I would really like this product but I use it 3 times a week now that I have one.

Healthy food
This is a great healthy way to fix any foods especially fried foods. Requires no oil so food tastes so much better and is less oily. Great quality and color matches perfectly with everything else in my kitchen. This is great for 1 person; a couple or a family.
