Which Should You Buy?

Instant Vortex Plus 6-in-1 Air Fryer 6QT

We think the Vortex Plus 6-in-1 is the sweet spot in the Instant lineup. For just $20 more than the base Vortex, you get dehydrating, broiling, and baking modes that actually work well. The odor erase filter is a nice touch that we did not expect to appreciate as much as we did. If you are deciding between this and the base model, spend the extra $20.

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.
