Bought this two weeks ago and I have it sitting in the garage because I am too bored to read the manual 😂 Thank God I came across your video. Thank you so much!

works great. i love that it has stainless steal pot inside kzread.infoUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg and not the one with coating. we used to have a coated pot before, and the coating slowly peels, and i am sure went into the food that we cooked. Absolutely love stainless steel, and will not use a coated product again.This pot has many settings and many buttons, and i need to sit down with a manual to figure out which setting to use. I used the basic functions, and even though i am not technologically skilled, i turned it on and assembled it without any help.Very satisfied with this product overall.

Thank you Nili! These videos are super helpful, love them ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great video! I just got this model about 4 weeks ago and that was the most informative and comprehensive review I've seen yet. Thanks. I'm using it for everything after my toaster/convection oven quit. It's so easy to clean and all the accessory gadgets make the possibilities endless. Again, thanks for educating me on the subtleties on button verses actual function. Subscribed. (looking up that reverse sear steak idea) ;-)

TY sis Nili! I love your new gadget you got there. No worries I will wait for your new video on your new gadget.

Awesome ~ so good to see the comparison Nili, thanks🌼

This is the best review I have seen on the Vortex. Mine is on order and I have been curious about the different settings and now I know. TYVM. 🙂

Great unboxing & comparison. I hope the family is doing great. Be well.

ive had this version since christmas, and we love it! use it pretty much every day, and i prefer the tray to the basket because it’s not as much bulk to clean up. i have a SUPER tiny kitchen and it somehow doesn’t look obnoxious on the counter, which is why i stayed away from those weird egg shaped ones. every inch counts! and the window feature takes it to the next level. overall i am super happy with it (and my mother in law bought the same one after staying here and using ours, so that’s saying a lot 😂) edit- for anyone wondering, i can stick a whole chicken in there no problem. i use nili’s “frozen chicken in the instant pot hack” and then roast it a few minutes in the air fryer and it’s AWESOME 🙌

Carrie, thank you for this information! Does the window get very hot and is it staying clean with regular cleaning?

Thanks for this; I've been noticing several brands now have the window in the basket and wondered if they work well. So will watch your chicken demo.

I bought a new airfryer to get rid of the cumbersome grease catching louvers of the basket type to try and clean all the time. I LOVE the take out tray. So easy to clean with less bulk . I also have a window on mine which I LOVE. I can check to see how things are going without having to pull out the basket.

I have the exact same one but without the dehydration settings. I love the windows!

This is like the old days of your videos 👍

I just got the Gourmia 7 quart from Costco (when it was on sale for $40). I thought by the picture that it was the older type with a basket but it is the same as this one. It has a disk for the bottom that you remove and all the grease goes to the bottom. So far the french fry setting has been tried with two different types of frozen fries. The crinkle cut cooked the best. The thin ones got too crunchy and almost burned. It has a reminder feature which I really like. You can turn it off if you want. You can turn it off, along with the preheat. You get reminded that you have to add food or turn food. I like it. I thought I would find it annoying but I like it because sometimes you walk away while you are cooking and you hear it beep and it reminds you to come back and add the food or turn the food. I did an unboxing, still not edited. I am doing a video on my opinions on the machine but that hasn’t been recorded yet. I really like how brown my food gets.

Brilliant! Thank you very much. Helped me a lot. Cheers.

Hi Indigo! Thank you so much for the review. It was so helpful as I'm in the middle of shopping trying to decide between the one with the window or without. Have you noticed if the window gets very hot, or if it's been a problem for you at all (cleaning, etc.)

Thorough. You’re awesome.

Hi Nilli , loved your review and all your reviews and recipes. I have purchased several Instant products, namely after you reviewed and used them and have been very satisfied with performance. I admit when I saw this AF unboxing I thought Instant had followed Cosori with a dual heating element design since the shape and size (sans the window) look similar. My guess is it’s only a matter of time before Instant adds this feature which negates flipping halfway…many thanks for sharing

I’m gunna invest in these for my cooking i hate cooking and this would help my goals so much thx sorry that’s why I’m following ppl lol with instant pots ❤😂

This looks like a good air fryer at a reasonable price! Thanks for showing it.

You have the best KZread review of this Instant airfryer. You explain its use and the features very clearly and stay on point. I'm watching your video since I have one on order to replace my dead Tristar Power AirFryer Oven. The fan made a grinding noise and stopped working and it's now out of warranty. I picked this Instant airfryer model replacement because it is 1700w vs others @1500w and has the basket style and clear window. The one that died had a rotisserie that required a very small chicken, and cleanup of the interior, shelves and oven door was incredibly hard. (I do not recommend the oven style airfryer!) To clean the basket on this one, do you put it through the dishwasher? Thanks!

... cool ... still learning the insta-pot though ...

Thank you for this, fear of air fryers, gone. This size will help me prep more food for the week. One quick question, if I may….when you reverse sear, do you use the broil option on the air fryer? Thank you.

Nice thank you

That was a really good demonstration/comparison. Man, I wish, I could turn off the sound on my Ninja Air fryer & Grill. That thing is so annoyingly loud, it drives me crazy. I wonder how well you can see the level of browning through that dark glass, though? Why would they not put in clear glass?

Hey indigo Niii I've discovered How To open That Oder Erase component all you need To do is Hold The Oder Erase with you're Thumb and You're middle Finger Then Take you're Table knife and look For a spot in The back then place you're Table knife and jam The knife inside The device with you're Thumb and you're middle Finger and press on it while you try To Force open the object then after you opined it Then you can see The filters inside and you can Throw Them away Remember Squeeze The Oder erase device and use The kitchen knife To Force it open at The same Time That Should open it

Which model do you have?

So I live in an RV with no oven. I am not a fan of microwave/convection gadgets. BUT, it would be interesting to see if this can cook something like the Hawaiin rolls on the bake function. Small batch works for me as it is just me and my son. Would be grand if you can think of things to actually bake. Does your 4 qt have a bake function as well? Thanks as always for your stellar content that is clear and so easy to follow!!

Having a Cosori with a basket, I would not want one without.

That was super helpful, I’m trying to decide which size 🤔.

My mini air fryer doesn't have a basket so for a couple extra dollars I bought a rack. Will have to checkout the smaller one !! I live alone and except for chick. wings never make that much at once. (Besides I don't have much counterspace).

Nice idea from hubby in your kitchen area !! My stand mixer takes up soooo much room and then there's that huge extra bowl accessory !! Gee wanna buy a blender but hesitate cause I have no counter space ! Thanks for the tour, you're giving me ideas!! (I live in a rental so can't do very much).

Great video 👍thanks , but what about the basket, and tray materials, are they of what, Teflon ?? Its important to inform about it. Healthy cooking….

Hi !! I got today one and wondering if yours have a bit off plastic at the top of the glass inside of tray !! Cause when i first washed was water between glasses and wondering of that is some gasket sticking !! Tks

Was there a plastic film to peel off the top display area? Mine looks bad and as if I should peel it off but cannot find an end to start with

It is pretty. I am using my air fryer almost every day. I do Steak from Frozen and when the internal temp is fine I torch it with a butane torch. Works great. The cleaning up is the not so fun work when I use it. I cant imagine how annoying a basket would be to clean. Once I am done cooking, I just fill it with water and let it sit and then it wipes off later. I had bought those air fryer parchment paper inlays but it did not make less of a mess. The window would be a problem. There should be more corners. And if I compare my very dirty oven window... This should be dark fairly soon since there cant be any non stick on the window. Why do we need to see the food? This feels like a way to make people upgrade a perfectly good device with the exact same device + window. I am very curious to see how this fryer window holds up after awhile. It will get a lot of use in your kitchen.

Hi Nili. I just bought the 6 qt. Instant Vortex 4 in 1 air fryer. Love it! Just like yours it has only 1 basket with the inner “tray”. May I ask where you got yours? No stores in my area carry your model. I’m having fun experimenting with it. Today at lunch I reheated the left overs from last night’s dinner out. Everything came out great! I started with the reheat button, but after a few mins in I switched to air fry. Everything was so crispy & delicious. I think that the presets are kind of like the,ones on the Instant Pot. Totally unnecessary.

HAH... I did exactly that you did with the odor filter casing... couldn't open it as it wasn't clear how to open and couldn't so I just put it back into the fryer. Did you finally find the solution? I just purchased mine last week.

What are the inside dimensions of the cooking tray?

Drawer jammed with ome of the shelf ,not used yet ,any ideas x

Hesitant to give up counter space/buy another appliance, since we have/love a Breville counter-top convection oven. Can air fryer recipes be done in a convection oven, using the same time/temp with similar results? Has anyone tried it??

btw, nice review.

Lets get real about the 'window'. I've read comments re water filling inside the window area, drying & leaving stains/ugly. That it's not fully sealed, etc. and can't be cleaned if this happens. Very scary. So... 1. Is there a way to pop off or unscrew the front window assembly? 2. Given the color of light bulb & window..... Is one TRULY able to discern proper color of the food to see if it's golden, etc? Because that's the only reason I can think of to peek in.

The filters are out of stock on their website (UK). Some people have tried amazon and they were unsuccessful. Is it worth buying if such problems are likely to persist? Apparently the glass gets extremely hot to touch. Some reviewers have said it may be unsuitable for children to be around it. Has this been your experience?

I've Heard lots of people say that after just a few months the display doesn't work. I'm thinking of buying this one with the window but that worries me.

I just bought it but the glass gets hot is that normal??

When using Air fryer do I just pull it up or take whole thing off

How to clean the window?

Thinking ahead, I wonder whether or not the value of the glass face will diminish with time as the fats and oils polymerize on the glass. It may be less frustrating in the long term to get the model without the glass face.

Pourquoi tout les air fryer instant sont tous en anglais

I just bought the Instant Vortex 5 quart air fryer with clear cook. I have not plugged mine up or turned it on yet. I just took it out of the box and set it on my counter. I'm VERY intimidated by it. Every Instant air fryer video I see on You Tube has a round knob on the panel and is a 6 quart. My panel is completely flat with no knob and is a 5 quart. i can't find a video using an Instant Vortex 5 quart air fryer with a flat panel like my model. Now I'm scared to try and use it. I am a absolute newbie and I know absolutely NOTHING about air frying. The booklet that came with mine doesn't give a whole lot of info. Also, how do I know what temp and how long to cook something? I can find air fryer recipes all day long but each different air fryer probably uses different temps and cook times for the same recipe. Can you help me?????
