Yes, I filmed this video before I got my haircut! 😆💇♀️
One more thing I've noticed since filming this video is how exceptionally quiet this model is… Even quieter than our old 6qt Vortex. Sometimes I have to go check if I actually turned it on because it's so quiet. 👍🏼
Hmmm…those are some rather distinctive design flaws @Insta people, that really is disappointing. This brand has been around long enough that we should be able to expect a bit more attention to detail, imho. (*Btw, just heat that sticker gently w/a hair dryer & it should come off w/out leaving any residue). The little silicone bits cracking is kind of a big deal too~ sheesh! That being said, I do like the size for an RV, next on my list, so thanks for doing the side by side~ very helpful.
The cook modes on my air fryer actually do have variances, meaning they do not all cook the same. The convection fan only comes on in air fry/ roast/dehydrate. It does not come on w/broil/sear/ preheat or bake~ unless I do it manually. That being said, mine is a larger, square mini-oven style that is an off brand~ "Iconics" I think is the name. I love it, but do NOT love the clean up~ it's a fairly big mess nearly every time we use it.
I don't recall you mentioning it but the 2qt mini is half the price of the 4qt vortex. I am a single guy and bought the 2qt mini, It is great but I wish I would have gotten something bigger.
Good review!
Exactly what I would want to know, if I was on the market for one of those.
I got the Ninja Air Fryer Foodie Grill a couple months ago, because I was impressed with how high the temperature goes in that one. 265C/509F.
Turns out, I still like my steaks better panfried though, lol.
So I could just have gotten a regular one for half the price.
I don't like the way the huge, heavy lid has to be opened up and that you don't have a removable basket. Plus, the beeping is very loud and annoying.
And yes…they should totally tell you, that the presettings are just a way to save time and don't actually do different things.
I live in an apartment and basically don't dare to use it at night, because I'm afraid, my neighbors will hear it. It's that loud.
Do you have a recommendation for a good air fryer cookbook or website?
Use a hair dryer to soften the glue of stickers, just about 30 seconds on high & those stubborn stickers come off easily!
Girl, just ditch it and get yourself a Casori
Wow they came out good!!!🍗
Hi, I don't think you have to keep the sticker on. If it was meant to be on, it would be on the picture, that's on the box. Take it off, then wipe the sticky residue off with paper towel and some cooking oil. Should come right off.
The only thing I hate about instapot vortex is the rubber pieces on bottom of tray. They always come off when i wash it. Its such a pain. Any suggestions on cleaning it?
Congratulations on the new air fryer, I have a 10 quart NuWave Brio and I really don’t like it. I don’t think the food gets really crispy at all. I have been looking at and researching a new one that is smaller and a basket-type. The one i have right now is more of an oven type, but without shelves in it. It is just one big basket, like the one you have but it opens from the top, not with a handle. I can fit a lot in it but it does not crisp well. It does cook well and we do like what comes out of it. I am definitely wanting a basket-type so I can flip food. So much easier to turn things, My favorite was my first air fryer, a Farberware 3.5 quart basket. It made really crispy food but I had to make many batches to get a lot of food out of it. It broke about 4 months after I got it. The basket dropped and it got misshapen. The basket fell out and the outside got bashed a bit and the basket wouldn’t fit in anymore. Such a shame because it was terrific. I went from that to a Power XL 6 quart with the stainless shelves. It was also a dehydrated. The handle on the door broke and they wouldn’t replace it. I also had trouble opening it but it still worked well. It was great for about 4 years and then the motor died. So sad. So I decided to go up in size. Sorry I did. Not happy with the 10 quart at all. Anyway congrats on the new machine. I hope you all love it,
I'm sure that the girls have outgrown making a train out of the boxes of this one! I don't know if Levi pretends like the girls did! Those wings looked incredible! I may try some uncooked chicken breast tenders in my drawer-type air fryer. I can only hope they turn out as well as your wings with bones did! I'll try my Trader Joe's EBTB seasoning on them! As always my absolute very very best to all of you including your pets and the stars of Chicken TV! Take care, all!
My kids use parchment liners or a silicone liner specifically for air fryers. Both on Amazon. Makes removing food and cleanup easy.
Kind of wish I’d have seen this sooner as I just purchased the instant 6 Quart.
It does take up some space but America’s Test Kitchen rated it #1 and I cooked salmon in it the first day I had it
I thought it was pretty quiet.
I will be cooking many frozen hamburgers about quarter pounders. But don’t really have a clue how long to cook.
My only issue with the Vortex rubber attachments is they get loose after awhile and food stuff gets stuck in them. So you have to take them off and clean that area, then get them back on. So that wears them out. I can see the 4 qt for 1 person. I am able to get 12-14 wings in the 6 qt and 4 large baking potatoes in it as well.
Thank you i’m glad to share this and buying an air fryer
Thank you i’m glad to share this and buying an air fryer A 4 quart is perfect for me and you know what in the big ones sometimes you have to wait a little longer for those wings to get crispy
Thank you for review

I've had the black one for over 2 years, and I love it. My handle broke early on, but it's just the front plate and it's still going strong. I actually use a toaster oven tray in it most of the time as it's easier to clean. I got mine for 49 bucks on Black Friday and am so glad I got it. Enjoy your new shiny model.❤
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Nili.
TY Sis Nili! I love your new gadget and what you made in there. Yummy!
I had lost a few of my "bumpers" in the past and found replacement ones on amazon…like $8 for 8. Called "air fryer rubber tips".
Oops! I removed my warning label with lemon essential oil! Thank you for the video!!
I like your new air fryer. I also dropped the drawer too and the handle came off, but I reattached it with some duct tape and hope it holds up for now. Not ready to shell out more money for a new one just yet. I have the six quart and it is still going strong, even with me dropping the drawer. I discovered that WD-40 is great for removing stickers. It doesn't take much and it will come right off. I then just washed it in some Dawn and Hot water and no smell of the WD-40. I used to have a Nuwave and the Instant Pot air fryer is much better.
This brand and model – Vortex Plus – is the top recommended air fryer by America’s test kitchen – and they really put thing through lots of tests! I want one but I have 2 others that work well.
I have the Ninja air fryer and grill.. I love it and use it daily.
It does great with bacon and sausage..
Next time I might get an Instant brand just to try.
