Nice, An Essential Item During the Great 2020 Lock Down
This air fryer provides the functionalities as advertised. I have been using this air fryer daily to make my nutritious restaurant style food for the past 6 months especially when no area restaurants were open. Since the air fryer has good size for volume of food, it occupies a bit more counter space than I first expected. I found there are two very minor problems (I solved BOTH) after I had used for a few days. First, the heat from the fryer in the back caused the wall / backsplash to feel hot if you don't have good ventilation. I have to move the air fryer away from the wall so that hot air can vent more easily without heating up the wall a bit too much. Second, the front glass door is a bit heavier than I expected, and I was concerned the glass door weight could cause the door hinge to break if you don't have the support of the countertop. But if I pull the air fryer away from the wall so that the hot air can escape, there is just not as much counter space to support the heavier glass door. I solved both problems by turning the Instant Pot Air Fryer 45 degrees. Now my 25" (inches) deep countertop space becomes 32" (diagonally), and I found the needed space to lay down the oven door without breaking the door hinge while also the hot air can vent easily while not heating the wall / backsplash. See picture. Think of these things before you buy, such as where you want to set up this air fryer so that you have space for venting the hot air while also have counter space for supporting the front glass door. BTW, my daughter, who recently went back to college but had limited access to school cafeteria / meal plans, also bought this Instant Pot Instant Vortex Pro 9-in-1 Air Fryer for her apartment. Now she and her roommate are using it to make their nutritious meals beyond microwaveable pizza and Macaroni and cheese. I would say this is good for college students who have no experience in kitchen.
