Which Should You Buy?

Instant Vortex ClearCook 6 Quart Air Fryer

We found the ClearCook window to be more useful than we expected. Being able to glance at your food without pulling out the basket keeps heat inside and prevents the constant open-check-close cycle. The window does fog up slightly during high-moisture cooking, but for fries, wings, and most everyday foods it stays clear. If you are the type who checks on food frequently, this is worth the premium over the base Vortex.

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.
