I purchased this air fryer after about 2 weeks of comparing several air fryers. I have a toddler and this air fryer makes meal times tear free. It heats up so fast and food is ready quickly. So much less messy than the oil fryer. Everything tastes better and is crispy like in an oil fryer without the mess and oily taste. I told my ex in-laws about this air fryer and they purchased one because of recommendation on the ease if use.

Buy it! It’s amazing! The rotating drum makes it worth every penny by itself. The rotisserie makes a perfect 4lb bird! Crispy & beautiful! The ease of making snacks & reheating food that you don’t want to eat soggy or be dried out & over-cooked is also worth every penny. Your leftovers wont go to waste! & just making food in it is easy, clean up is easy, functionality is easy...it’s a no-brainer for me!

OMG! LOVE this machine. Next best thing to having a deep fryer for my french fries. No oil! I will put my chicken wings up against any bar or restaurant anytime, from marinate to plate in 18 minutes. I choose this unit because the inside is all metal, no plastic. High heated plastic releases toxic substances.
Very easy to clean also.

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.

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.

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.

Convenient oven. Made a pork rotisserie roast and it turned out excellent. Tried to make some cookies using pre-made cookie dough and they turned out okay. A few more tries will be needed to figure out the best setting for cookies.
What I don't like about the oven is the sketchy door. When you shut the oven door, you have to ensure it is dead center and horizontally flat because it has a slight up and down wobble in either direction.

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!!

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!

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.

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.

Excellent concept, works great, I kind of sort of feel that it's a bit hotter than what it says. The little tool they give you to pull the trays out is kind of pointless. If you have a mitt or wrap a towel and a quad or double, it'll pull them out. The only thing I've noticed is that the display in for areas is lit up versus three, not sure if the kids sprayed it with something and got it wet. But it's mainly for the kids to use and us. So who knows. Works great no issues, you can make a lot of good neat stuff on it. Just probably not let your kids clean it and take care of stuff in the kitchen LOL.

Not all meals are cooked correctly, need to conduct temperature changes or timing. Rotisserie chicken has to be small enough to fit requires constant cleaning after every use.
