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.

This air fryer has saved so much oven use. We took it camping with us for a week and with the outside grill, never had to use our RV stove.Great product!

We love it! Use several times a week.I held off from buying one for a long time. Not fan of things on the counter. Didn't know if we would use enough. It is nice looking and we find all different ways to use it. Did investigate several. I liked this had the capability to do other things, reheat, bake, etc... Very easy and convenient to clean. Well worth the money and the counter space!

Finally took the plunge and bought this a few months ago. I honestly have kicked myself pretty much every day since in that I waited so long to get one. This is made such a big impact on my ability to cook here at home. It's great for warming up leftovers like french fries, very intuitive and simple to use, clean up is a snap. I bought some silicone insert pads for it so that I don't have to buy the disposable paper kind and they work quite well. Highly recommend!

This air fryer is great for a couple or small family due to its small capacity. It heats up very fast within 30 seconds, so pretty much I don't need to preheat the air fryer. It cooks the food evenly. It does a good job on "squeezing the fat out of the meat".One huge downside of this air fryer is that the cleaning part is a real pain. I have to remove 4 small pieces of silicone grips and use toothpick to clean every single holes. The tray inside is also very hard to clean. I used to have a Philips airfryer XXL. I have to admit that Philips is way ahead Instant Pot on design. It was always super easy to clean.Overall this air fryer does its job, it's a great value for money if you can accept the cleaning afterwards so I give it 4 stars.

Have used it many times. Air frying, roasting and dehydrating. Works very well.

Perfect size for 1 or 2. Super easy to use. Food comes out great. This is made well and so easy to clean. It’s not loud when running and the few beeps it makes aren’t any different when my coffee pot or microwave beeps. Some have said the beeps are annoying. Basically a good purchase!

So far so good. Haven’t used it every day but heats up quickly and nice addition to my kitchen.
