The Instant Vortex Plus came in as our #1 air fryer on our best air fryer list. Instant is one of the most recommended air fryer brands for many reasons. They make high quality pressure cookers, slow cookers and air fryers. The price is under $100 and therefore it is not only great quality from a well known brand, but also a great value. The Vortex Plus uses Evencrisp™ technology to deliver the same crunch and tenderness of traditional deep-frying, but with all of the health benefits of an air fryer.
The stainless-steel exterior is easy to clean and looks great in most kitchens. The air fryer basket is dishwasher safe non-stick, making clean up quick and easy. Like most air fryers, the Vortex Plus cooks anywhere from 120 to 400 degrees F. The air fryer basket in the Vortex Plus is square, which creates more cooking space than its round competitors.
