Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Me before: Another gimmicky appliance. Hard to clean. Takes up too much space. I have two convection ovens, don't need. Me AFTER: OMG! How did I ever function in the kitchen without one of these? Takes up as much space as a larger coffee pot. EASY PEASY TO CLEAN!! Super fast cooking even from a frozen state! Simple to use! Doesn't heat up the whole kitchen. Quiet! Perfect for small portions! The box arrived and it was HUGE! Oh my! Well, it was just well protected as the unit itself, is very well made and not too big on the counter. After washing the basket and tray and removing minimal packing materials, it was ready to go. For the inaugural test, I pulled FOUR POUNDS of pre-cooked frozen crispy wings from the freezer. Having made these in the oven before (with lots of time and mess!) I knew exactly what to expect. WOWOWOW! A short preheating and 15 minutes and one turn later, it was wing central! Crispy, heated through, and little to no mess in the basket. And best of all, you can see what's going on with the window in the front!! :) You don't have to open the basket and lose heat. After cooling, I drained the small amount of grease and easily cleaned the basket and tray in the sink. Ready for the next culinary delight! I am sold! The only issue I have with this Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer is that it's not intuitive how you change the time or temp settings. It appears that I have to download an app or use the internet to figure that one out, but the preset temps and times for the various fryer cooking options should be enough for now. I am no longer a skeptic and HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GREAT Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer! ( At least one family member will be getting one of these for the holidays! ) ---- Update: I received another one of these great Air Fryers, this one in Stainless with the OdorErase™. I must say, in addition to all the great features above, trapping odors is a huge plus if you use the Air Fryer for fish or other aromatic foods. Instant has hit a home run with these Vortex air fryers and I look forward to using it for every meal!
