Our Experience & Tips

The Instant Pot Vortex Plus lives up to the brand's reputation for reliability. We tested the 6-in-1 functions extensively — air fry, broil, dehydrate, crisp, roast, reheat, and bake. The EvenCrisp technology delivers golden, crunchy results with up to 95% less oil. We made a batch of homemade fries that were crispy on the outside and fluffy inside, and roasted a whole chicken that was juicy throughout. The dehydrate function worked well for apple chips and beef jerky (set to 135°F for 6 hours). Our top tip: the basket is dishwasher-safe, but we found that a quick spray of oil before cooking makes cleanup even easier — food slides right off.

The 6QT capacity is perfect for families of 4-5, fitting up to 3 lbs of fries or a 5-lb chicken. The stainless steel finish looks professional and wipes clean easily. One feature we appreciated: the preheat indicator light lets you know when the unit is ready, and the shake reminder is loud enough to hear from another room. We also used the broil function to melt cheese on casseroles — it worked beautifully. Compared to our old air fryer, the Vortex Plus is quieter and cooks more evenly, with no hot spots.

What to Consider Before Buying

Before you buy the Vortex Plus, note that the control panel is touch-based, not physical buttons. It's responsive, but some users with wet or oily fingers might find it less sensitive. The unit is also fairly large — about 13 inches deep — so measure your counter space. The basket has a nonstick coating, but it's traditional PTFE-based, not ceramic. If you prefer PFAS-free materials, this might not be your first choice. However, Instant Pot claims the coating is PFOA-free and durable.

The price is competitive — often on sale for under $100. If you already own an Instant Pot and love the brand, this is a natural addition. However, if you need more than 6 functions (like proofing or keep warm), you might want to look at other models. For most home cooks, the Vortex Plus offers an excellent balance of features, capacity, and value. Just be aware that the dehydrate function takes several hours, so plan ahead.

Perfect If You...

Already love Instant Pot products and want the same quality in an air fryer. Need a larger capacity for family meals but don't want a bulky appliance. Want crispy, healthier food with minimal oil and effortless cleanup. Or you're looking for a versatile machine that can also dehydrate fruits, reheat leftovers to crispy perfection, and broil cheese-topped dishes. At today's sale price, this Instant Pot Vortex Plus is a smart investment for any kitchen.
