   I ordered this because I had been using a really large combo Instant Pot (family size) that my son let me borrow while he was out of country and loved how quick everything cooked, with less grease, the variety of uses was great.This one is just about perfect for a single person. I do like how it works so far, but there are a few little annoyances.If you really want to cook 1 chicken breast or 1 salmon or 1 steak (not a big one) then it’s perfect, almost. But personally, sometimes I’d rather cook TWO chicken breasts so I could have leftovers for reheating later. The basket is too small for two (well, too small for the chicken breasts I get at the meat counter). Also, I don’t think squeezing 2 chicken breasts in here would be a good idea because you’re supposed to leave room for the air to circulate. In the photo is a different chicken breast that I usually buy, I thought I’d try this brand since they run a bit smaller, but these are also too big. I would only cook one of these at a time as well.It took a couple times to figure out how long to cook sweet potato fries! But that’s what taking notes is for.Another thing I’m not a fan of is the little half circle metal thingy in the middle of the tray that’s used to pick the tray up and set it back in. I think having just a hole there would be better. Cooking any piece of meat or salmon that is flat, doesn’t sit flat. Not that it probably affects cooking, but it’s just weird. I had a piece of salmon once that finished cooking with a bump in the middle.The tray, it has rubber bumpers on each side. You do have to press down on the tray to put it in and take it out. Seems like it’s thick sturdy rubber, so it should hold up a while.And finally, there aren’t any recipes specifically for this size. On their website the question was asked, and answered that we should refer to the regular air fryer recipes. But having a smaller basket, wouldn’t that mean the cooking times would be different? I’ve had to play around and take notes to figure out cooking times. Not even in their manual did they offer suggested cooking times for anything, which would have been nice if they did.It does clean up really easily. It’s not too large, and it doesn’t take up tons of space.For the price and what it does, as long as it doesn’t fail on me any time soon, I’m using it regularly and it’s doable. I’m kind of on the fence about maybe buying a bigger one in the future, as there are so many more options for cooking with their multi-use pressure cooker/air fryer.**UPDATE: Has anyone ever left soapy water in the basket to let it soak? Have you had the water leak from the bottom of the basket? I can only figure the water was past the screw in the basket, and the screw was loose. So I kind of tightened it, it didn’t really need it, but it still leaks. Am contacting the manufacturer. Just heads up, don’t leave the basket full of water on your counter or you may have a mess to clean up. lol

   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.

   My old airfryer/toaster oven quit working so I tried this airfryer.I haven’t used it much but I want to share my experience.In past years I started with a small cheap unit to so see if I would use it much and I did. Eventually went to an all in one airfryer toaster oven and it worked well but cleaning the wire basket was inconvenient. The style of the Insta pot brand is much easier to clean. I bought the 4qt size and it fits the smaller portions perfectly. I also prefer the square shape over the round shape because it’s easier to fit things like asparagus with a salmon filet.The airfryer comes elegantly packaged if you are considering it for a gift. The fit and finish are very good for a kitchen appliance and a cut above most others I have seen.One thing to note is the mechanical timer is difficult to turn when you need to reduce cooking time. After I learned this I simply decide how long I want it to run and turn the timer to that setting while paying extra attention not to go longer. Problem solved

   My wife and I bought this without really being convinced that it would be something we’d like. Well, it surely didn’t take long for us to fall in love with this little air fryer! We actually look forward to seeing what new things we can cook in it. We like it so much that we turned around and ordered a 10-quart oven (to cook larger meals for the two of us), as well as a slightly larger 6-quart one for our daughter and son-in-law (all the Instant Vortex brands). The food tastes great, cooks quickly, and the clean-up is a breeze. It also fills the kitchen with the aroma of the tasty meal to come! Very impressed with our purchase, and would recommend these little air fryers to anyone who is considering one.
