Makes chicken in 10 min, and it's nice and it's juicy. Veggies end up perfect. And you can make donuts? All in record time and with minimal cleanup , effort and power usage. Only thing I'm wondering is why I held out so long before buying one.
In my humble opinion this is far more useful than the Actifry XL I also own. Mainly because it has a larger element and you can adjust the temp and time where the XL only allows you to set the time. And not having a paddle is an asset in that it doesn't break up the fries. Cleans up VERY easy, I am amazed at how well the bottom rack comes clean with a brush.
Made sure every bit of plastic was removed from the inside, except for the silicone feet.
Did a test run for 30 min at 400. Entire house smelled like plastic. I got cancer that day, should have done it outside.
Have used the product 7 times since, and depending on how much salt is in your food, you can still taste plastic. Tater tots are the worst.
That being said, there are a lot of great reviews so maybe im just a supertaster or something. The product cooks really well and is very easy to clean.
I love my instant pot vortex plus air fryer. However, I've never owned a deep fryer or air fryer before. I did though watch tons of videos of review of different air fryers. The features I like most about the vortex: the square design; the beeps indicating preheating, turning food (like a built in timer) reminders; auto shut off when I open the chamber I don't have to press a pause button; the dial I don't have to press buttons million times. I tried air frying breaded pork chop, breaded chicken thighs, cornish hen, baked mini potatoes, frozen chicken wings. The air fryer makes cooking very convenient I don't have to keep eyes on them. In and out and Voila. Taste test: like any "healthier" option, it is not as delicious as real deep frying but I think my waistline thanks me. I use avocado sprays to coat all my food and it's all satisfying guilt free comfort food.
