6-Quart Air Fryer Lid

Overall it is a pretty good purchase when you don't have the space for a dedicated air fryer. It cooks evenly and quickly -- I just wish you didn't have to stop everything to check on doneness. It has a rather small capacity though using the 2nd tier tray helps, but it is a hassle to remove if you need to turn things half-way. I don't like that the cord forces you to unplug whatever it next to it. All this being said, we're using the air fryer feature much more often than the instant pot itself.

Love it! I now cook most everything in my instant pot now. If you cook for one or two then this is perfect. The lid extends the basic instant pot to baking, crisping, broiling + air frying. It's all I need. Fav is cooking a whole chicken at high pressure 35 mins then the lid change and broiling at 15 mins. Moist crispy and easy! Get one!

First time owning an air fryer do not a lot of experience. But it is really easy to use and the food tastes great without frying. My only complaint would be capacity. You only get about two servings of fries at a time

Very easy to use, cooks quickly and works fantastic. Only tricky part is finding good info on cook times for different things - it doesn't really tell you anything in the instructions and times I've found online seem to vary - so you'll have to do some testing and practice with some items to figure out best time and temps. So we started a page that we keep track of what we cooked with time and temps for future use. So far have done lots of wings, did crispy cauliflower, hashbrowns, jalapeno poppers, cheese curds, all turned out fantastic! Nice and crispy like they were fried, but without the oil!

I love this item, since I already had the pot. I use my air fryer often and I love that I’m saving space in my kitchen for just adding the lid.

I first dipped a toe into "air frying" with a cheap barrel-shaped oven that is a common design among air fryers, and I was impressed at how quickly it was able to bring a crisp or caramelized effect to foods. I wasn't too impressed with the space it took up, vertically and otherwise, nor am I crazy about kitchen appliances that are only brought out to do one task, so I've spent the years since trying various toaster ovens that claim to be able to air fry. Some accomplish this in ways that come close to the speed of a dedicated air fryer, but none which I've used are as slow as this fryer lid. I've done several batches of frozen fries with it, but it always takes longer than recommended to bring a crisp texture to them; comparable to oven baking, but with a much smaller capacity. The Instant Pot itself is a nice tool to have, making pressure cooking, which is speedy and often a one-pot meal solution, an approachable experience to a lot of people. I get why so many people seem to be Instant Pot fans. Furthermore, I understand that the fryer lid is handy if you want to brown meats or something, and prepare everything in one pot. But as an air fryer, it lags behind the better convection toaster ovens, which I get use out of every day, and it lacks the capacity of a regular stove. It's priced comparably to an entry-level air fryer, which I think would do a more efficient job. I can't imagine this would be a necessity to anyone with a stove, unless they were so in love with their Instant Pot that they can't imagine using anything else.

This saved me space on the counter compared to the buying a separate air fryer. Some downsides are the small capacity of the basket it came with and the lid is on the heavy side.

Works OK but with few things to be improved: 1) Non-Stick coating pilled after first use. 2) Can not see the food you are cooking. 3) Kinda heavy for everyday use. 4) Inner basket, its base and pot must be washed after every use - good to keep them clean but bad if you just want to be lazy for once. 5) Kida small even for two people. 6) It still take up lots spaces when stored, so might pay less to buy a stand along air fryer.
