    Best for re-heating leftovers

    This is a must have/need in your cooking tools. Never mind the actually cooking you can so with this, I primarily use it to re-heat food. Re-heated Pizza by far comes out of this so crispy and in shorter time than having to pre-heat your oven. Clean up is ridiculously easy and fast. Well worth the price for convenience alone. There's a learning curve on how much time is needed, I've torched a few items, but you'll get the hang of it.

    This fryer is fantastic but for one issue - the noise. My kitchen is open to my living room, and when I'm watching a show or listening to music while the fryer is running, the unit definitely raises the noise floor a few decibels. Works wonderfully once you get a few practice runs under your belt (literally). Best Buy parking lot service during covid took a bit of time but did the job safely.

    I love the function and the quality of this airfryer. The ease of use and easy to read buttons. I like the removable tray and the fryer basket slids in and out easily. Easy to clean. It produced crispy and evenly cooked fries and chicken wings as well as when I baked cupcakes.

    Gotta admit at first I was a little overwhelmed by the fryer, but after two weeks I love it! So simple to use after looking at you tube demos online! It does get extremely hot so make sure you let it cool down completely after using! Had French fries and wings last night, and they were crisp and tender! Only negative is I wish Instant Pot had more detail on how to use and had recipes to try! They have them on line! Love my fryer!!

    Still learning to use, it's okay so far. The door could have been made better, it feels bulky. The size is good. It puts out a LOT of heat when cooking, I'm sure that's the same with all of them. I still have a lot to learn, hopefully it will last a while.

    Very good air fryer. The rotisserie unit is easy to use, does a great job at even browning. We replaced our Cuisinart Air Fryer that heated up much faster but I gave the Vortex 5 stars because there was little bit more time to heat up, but still heats up in a timely manner. The Vortex is easy to clean, especially the bottom, nonstick liner. The digital read-outs make it easier to adjust time and temperature.

    This was a birthday gift for my 52-year-old mother who is NOT tech savy and is against everything new. She has used it every day since I got it for her! Absolutely loves it and now wants to throw away her microwave. I saw on other reviews that some people thought the shelves were too narrow and didn't sit securely. We did not have that issue with our model. She has used the basket and the rotisserie chicken option and they have all worked great. Would definitely buy again!

    ONce past the learning curve it is great. Even my Luddite family are starting to use it. Have done Hot Dogs, Fries, a Roast, pizza, bacon, and steak all came out perfect. Toast is challenging, requires very careful watching. Easy to keep clean.

    I absolutely love this appliance and my family and I use it at least once a day. My tweens are able to cook all of their favorite foods like hot dogs & breaded chicken strips with minimal assistance from me. Im a solo parent working both in and out of our home so, all of us benefit from utilizing this appliance for its fast cooking time and quality results I get when air frying anything that I would previously would prepare either in the oven or on the range in a skillet. We have loaded baked potato night and the air fryer makes the BEST baked potato--either russet or sweet...and the skin is so crispy like it's been fried or roasted in the oven @ high temp, but nope, its the air fryer! The only reason for 4 stars is the digital display has lost it's lights in some spots so, unless you count while adjusting the temp or time, you cant read the display. BB advised me that since I have total tech membership and 2 more months of coverage on this one, that i can replace it, which i plan on doing today!

    Great size for the price. I wanted something that came with accessories and would allow me to cook more than 1 item at a time. I love the rotisserie basket, I made the best curly fries in that thing. My 12 yr old can prepare himself meals in my absence and never worry about him "burning the house down".. Even recommended it to a few ppl. I love it!

    This is my first and only air fryer and I don't know how I lived without it! The size is perfect for 2 people. Very easy to use and clean. Personally I don't need all the various settings. I'd be happy with it just air frying.

    I love this air fryer only down fall is the rotisserie option. If your chicken is too big it will get stuck and you will have to force turn it. Other than that it’s pretty cool. Also easy to clean.

    We use it for everything, from making toast to roasting vegetables and my son who also has one just cooked a steak in his and he said it was great (will need to try this myself). I have dehydrated my fresh herbs and even made some fresh chicken jerky for our dogs. There is a learning curve as to the best setting to use and amount of time as well as which slot to place the rack in. For example, when making toast you could use the bake setting or the air fry setting. After a little trial and error I discovered that using the air fry setting at 400 degrees for 2 minutes using the top rack was best. But you will have to try different settings to find out what works best for you. And making a rotisserie chicken? Whoa, the hardest part is trussing the chicken, that takes some practice but it comes out so much better than the store bought ones. It is easy to clean, all trays come out, front door comes off and I just put the rotisserie basket in the dishwasher. My only complaint is the noise as it is quite loud when running.

    My wife loves this device as we have made, turkey bacon, french fries and chicken so so far and it came out very good without a lot of the grease. There is a Burning smell that happens a little, but is going away after each use. This is definitely recommended based on ease of use, and simple but innovative design.

    Took a few tries to cook things perfectly, just a learning process. However now I use it more than my oven. Things come out so crispy on the outside and perfect on the inside. Great quality product, definitely worth the price. There was a smell in the beginning, but after running the test it went away for me.

    Amazing at air frying, no to toasting and baking

    I bought this because I wanted a smaller multi-functioning table top oven. It's really great at air frying and rotisserie but you definitely need to bring down the time and temperature that your recipe calls for. I cannot bake or toast anything in this oven (luckily, I'm not much of a baker and I don't eat toast often so it's not that big of a deal to me). I tried baking donuts at 330 for 10 minutes and the outside was BLACK CHARCOAL and the bottoms were all goo (quite reminiscent of a campfire marshmallow - yes, my campfire marshmallows always went to THAT point). I tried toasting white bread... and it became the texture of a cheeto puff without the golden tan color I expected. Overall, make air fried goodies like fries, bacon, chicken wings, croutons with that perfect crunch without additional oil. Leftover fried things like tempura? AMAZING. Forget about banana chips (I have a story about that one which I will spare you), baking ANYTHING, or golden brown toast. Just don't. Save your grocery money. Save your heart ache. Save your pride.
