Instant Pot Vortex 2QT Mini Air Fryer,Small Air fryer that Crisps,Reheats,Bakes,Roasts for Quick Easy Meals, Includes over 100 In-App Recipes,is Dishwasher-Safe, from the Makers of Instant Pot, Black

This little cutie is perfect if cooking for 1-2. It is top quality. Nothing cheap or tacky about it even though it is small. The size and basket capacity easily accommodates 4 burgers. 3 large russet potatoes, measuring 6.5 inch by 6.5 inches across the bottom of the basket. I appreciate that the basket is square vs round. It is powerful and evenly thoroughly heats item and crisps perfectly. It is very quiet and the large lit function panel is so easy to see and operate. It is sleek looking and has a small footprint. Very pleased with this purchase.

It has 5 cooking types and preheating time is short. Perfect size for small meals, but it can hold a lot of food if someone stops by to eat. Quick and easy set up and use. The heating cycle is little noisy, but it isn’t overwhelmingly loud or irritating. I haven’t used oil and it delivers crispy results.The compact size allows for easy storage, but it takes up little space on the counter. Overall, a solid item worth getting!

This air fryer is fantastic. It is perfect for 2 people and would work well for 4. Food comes out perfect. I use it many times a week for both lunch and dinner. It does fish to perfection and potatoes can be roasted whole or air fried as slices or fires. Texas fries come out perfect. It's easy to clean, though I do wish the heating unit was easier to clean under. A small brush or pad works but takes some effort. The rest is a breeze. I had another, larger air fryer and continually cut my hands when cleaning it. And food comes out better in this fryer than it did in the bigger one. If I ever need a new one I will go back for another one of these.

I gave my original one to my daughter while I was away to try out the usefulness of an air fryer. She has a big family but put away her toaster oven and decided to keep it. The school aged children (grade 3+) warm up their own snacks, prepare school lunches. I offered her a bigger one but she likes how compact it is. I bought a new one. I love the color, it is very easy to use and it's my number one appliance. Great for veggie burgers, chicken nuggets, fries, makes perfect toast. Chicken breasts come out moist and delicious in 10 minutes. Perfect size for one or two people. It isn't the easiest to clean because if you put it in the dishwasher you might ruin the coating. So I bought a couple of silicon inserts which makes cleanup much easier. For best use, also get an oil sprayer. The new ones in the clear containers work very well.

Perfect size for my university dorm room space! Cooks for 1-2 persons give or take. Great for quick meals especially when I don’t want to be in the shared kitchen (I do A LOT of meals especially breakfast in this air fryer) Very easy to use and clean. I love the fact that it’s so sleek and has a timer so it shuts off when the timer has stopped . It can be a bit loud but that doesn’t bother me really. Be careful not to fill it to capacity because the basket is shallow and then the food touches the heating ring and burns and I can’t seem to be able to get rid of the burnt piece completely because the ring is built into the air fryer. So now whenever I use it sometimes it smells as though there’s something burning which I can admit was my fault for over stuffing the basket. Otherwise it heats up very quickly and cooks food evenly.PRO tip: wrap the removable tray in aluminum foil paper and dispose of it if you don’t want to wash the entire basket every single time, it also speeds up cooking time :)It’s definitely worth it, it’s not too heavy so it’s easy to move around and great quality. Definitely my favorite appliance right now!

I ordered this because I had been using a really large combo Instant Pot (family size) that my son let me borrow while he was out of country and loved how quick everything cooked, with less grease, the variety of uses was great.This one is just about perfect for a single person. I do like how it works so far, but there are a few little annoyances.If you really want to cook 1 chicken breast or 1 salmon or 1 steak (not a big one) then it's perfect, almost. But personally, sometimes I'd rather cook TWO chicken breasts so I could have leftovers for reheating later. The basket is too small for two (well, too small for the chicken breasts I get at the meat counter). Also, I don't think squeezing 2 chicken breasts in here would be a good idea because you're supposed to leave room for the air to circulate. In the photo is a different chicken breast that I usually buy, I thought I'd try this brand since they run a bit smaller, but these are also too big. I would only cook one of these at a time as well.It took a couple times to figure out how long to cook sweet potato fries! But that's what taking notes is for.Another thing I'm not a fan of is the little half circle metal thingy in the middle of the tray that's used to pick the tray up and set it back in. I think having just a hole there would be better. Cooking any piece of meat or salmon that is flat, doesn't sit flat. Not that it probably affects cooking, but it's just weird. I had a piece of salmon once that finished cooking with a bump in the middle.The tray, it has rubber bumpers on each side. You do have to press down on the tray to put it in and take it out. Seems like it's thick sturdy rubber, so it should hold up a while.And finally, there aren't any recipes specifically for this size. On their website the question was asked, and answered that we should refer to the regular air fryer recipes. But having a smaller basket, wouldn't that mean the cooking times would be different? I've had to play around and take notes to figure out cooking times. Not even in their manual did they offer suggested cooking times for anything, which would have been nice if they did.It does clean up really easily. It's not too large, and it doesn't take up tons of space.For the price and what it does, as long as it doesn't fail on me any time soon, I'm using it regularly and it's doable. I'm kind of on the fence about maybe buying a bigger one in the future, as there are so many more options for cooking with their multi-use pressure cooker/air fryer.**UPDATE: Has anyone ever left soapy water in the basket to let it soak? Have you had the water leak from the bottom of the basket? I can only figure the water was past the screw in the basket, and the screw was loose. So I kind of tightened it, it didn't really need it, but it still leaks. Am contacting the manufacturer. Just heads up, don't leave the basket full of water on your counter or you may have a mess to clean up. lol
