Which Should You Buy?

Instant Vortex 6 Quart Air Fryer

We found the Instant Vortex 6QT to be a solid all-rounder that nails the basics. The EvenCrisp system produced noticeably crispier results than competitors in the same price range, and the 6 qt capacity is generous enough for a family of four. If you want straightforward air frying without paying for extras you will not use, this is the one we recommend.

Instant Vortex Slim 6 Quart Air Fryer

We think the Vortex Slim is the best value in the entire Instant lineup. You get the same 6 qt capacity and 1700W power as the standard Vortex for $20 less, and the slimmer profile actually fits better in tight kitchens. You give up the extra cooking modes of the Plus, but if air frying, roasting, baking, and reheating cover your needs, there is no reason to spend more.
