Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the Vortex Plus 10 Quart Air Fryer Oven's ease of use, cooking performance, and size. Many appreciate the rotisserie and the large capacity, finding the rotating basket to be a helpful feature. However, customers are negative about the appliance's noise level and the perceived low quality of the door. Some also reported an unpleasant odor during initial use.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    1. The box was not sealed with tape. 2.There was no user guide or warranty card with the item, I down loaded the user guide from the internet. 3. Found the key pad not responsive, i,e some button would not work, 4. There in no receipt for the purchase. to calm a warranty return. I feel that this was a repackaged item

    Item delivered was damaged When my son returned it. Best Buy replaced it, but was told the protection plan cost had risen since purchase. This was a gift and I’m not pleased it was damaged and then was asked to pay more for plan. I believe the Air Fryer is a good product and I would buy again probably not from Best Buy!

    The LCD screen doesn't work and cannot be viewed. I USE air fryers outside, due to the heat off the unit, but you cannot see the LCD screen. The light is too dim.
