    Yes, I filmed this video before I got my haircut! 😆💇‍♀️
    One more thing I've noticed since filming this video is how exceptionally quiet this model is... Even quieter than our old 6qt Vortex. Sometimes I have to go check if I actually turned it on because it's so quiet. 👍🏼

    I purchased the exact same 4qt air fryer and I love it. I removed that unsighty front sticker by heating it with a hair dryer and gently peeling it off. I then cleaned any residual adhesive with Goo Gone.

    The most useful review I have seen so far. Size comparison at the end was perfect. Loving your use of quarts as a volume measurement and fractions instead of percentages, takes me back to the good old days. Hugs from England :)

    Great review. Thank you for showing the different sizes. I'm debating whether to get the 4 or 6 quart. While I like the bigger capacity of the 6, I don't like that it'll take up that much more counter space. It's just for one person, so I think the 4 quart would do.

    I've had the black one for over 2 years, and I love it. My handle broke early on, but it's just the front plate and it's still going strong. I actually use a toaster oven tray in it most of the time as it's easier to clean. I got mine for 49 bucks on Black Friday and am so glad I got it. Enjoy your new shiny model.❤

  • @shannonrobinson262
    @shannonrobinson262 Год назад +2

    I briefly looked at the specifications on the different sizes and a couple of different brands. I was given an instant pot a few years ago and enjoy its ease of use, so is one. Then I read the reviews and started watching videos….all of which reinforced the option as the best choice for me. We are a family of 6, but the kids are in college and high school, so we eat at different times. Also we have several food issues, so we usually only cook for 2-3 at a time. Looks like this will suit. Also we use a countertop oven, so have a larger convection oven for larger amounts. It just irritates me when the kids cook one serving of nuggets and fries, then the next kid does the same….it’s a waste of energy. This should help. Thank you for such a nice review.
    Ok, a bit of honesty…I actually bought it because I use fried tofu and paneer cheese in my cooking. It splutters when fried in a pan. I’m tired of getting popped with hot ghee! The kids reason is the justification to buy it. Who could justify such an item to fry paneer cheese to add into Indian vegetable dishes😂😉

    • @lathais
      @lathais Год назад +1

      I am glad I read your review. I got this only today and hasn’t gotten around to use it. So I was frying paneer on the stovetop and like you said the oil spluttered all over the stove. Now thanks to you I know I can fry tofu and paneer in this. Thank you 🙏🏽

    I have the mini and ❤ it. Got it for $29 one day on Amazon. I got it for my tiny RV but use it in the house. We’re only two so it’s a decent size. I’m thinking of getting a larger one at some point though.

  • @TheJingWang
    @TheJingWang 10 месяцев назад +1

    Good review!
    Exactly what I would want to know, if I was on the market for one of those.
    I got the Ninja Air Fryer Foodie Grill a couple months ago, because I was impressed with how high the temperature goes in that one. 265C/509F.
    Turns out, I still like my steaks better panfried though, lol.
    So I could just have gotten a regular one for half the price.
    I don't like the way the huge, heavy lid has to be opened up and that you don't have a removable basket. Plus, the beeping is very loud and annoying.
    And yes...they should totally tell you, that the presettings are just a way to save time and don't actually do different things.
    I live in an apartment and basically don't dare to use it at night, because I'm afraid, my neighbors will hear it. It's that loud.

    I like your new air fryer. I also dropped the drawer too and the handle came off, but I reattached it with some duct tape and hope it holds up for now. Not ready to shell out more money for a new one just yet. I have the six quart and it is still going strong, even with me dropping the drawer. I discovered that WD-40 is great for removing stickers. It doesn't take much and it will come right off. I then just washed it in some Dawn and Hot water and no smell of the WD-40. I used to have a Nuwave and the Instant Pot air fryer is much better.

  • @MM-oc3sb

    My only issue with the Vortex rubber attachments is they get loose after awhile and food stuff gets stuck in them. So you have to take them off and clean that area, then get them back on. So that wears them out. I can see the 4 qt for 1 person. I am able to get 12-14 wings in the 6 qt and 4 large baking potatoes in it as well.

My wife and I were researching on which air fryer to buy as our first air fryer after moving the US a few months back, and your video was timely. We really liked the in-depth review of the insta brand. After seeing your video we came to a conclusion that the 4 quart would be ideal for us. Your video helped us decide what we wanted and placed an order on Amazon.

    Congratulations on the new air fryer, I have a 10 quart NuWave Brio and I really don’t like it. I don’t think the food gets really crispy at all. I have been looking at and researching a new one that is smaller and a basket-type. The one i have right now is more of an oven type, but without shelves in it. It is just one big basket, like the one you have but it opens from the top, not with a handle. I can fit a lot in it but it does not crisp well. It does cook well and we do like what comes out of it. I am definitely wanting a basket-type so I can flip food. So much easier to turn things, My favorite was my first air fryer, a Farberware 3.5 quart basket. It made really crispy food but I had to make many batches to get a lot of food out of it. It broke about 4 months after I got it. The basket dropped and it got misshapen. The basket fell out and the outside got bashed a bit and the basket wouldn’t fit in anymore. Such a shame because it was terrific. I went from that to a Power XL 6 quart with the stainless shelves. It was also a dehydrated. The handle on the door broke and they wouldn’t replace it. I also had trouble opening it but it still worked well. It was great for about 4 years and then the motor died. So sad. So I decided to go up in size. Sorry I did. Not happy with the 10 quart at all. Anyway congrats on the new machine. I hope you all love it,

  • @RV-there-Yet
    @RV-there-Yet 2 года назад

    Hmmm...those are some rather distinctive design flaws @Insta people, that really is disappointing. This brand has been around long enough that we should be able to expect a bit more attention to detail, imho. (*Btw, just heat that sticker gently w/a hair dryer & it should come off w/out leaving any residue). The little silicone bits cracking is kind of a big deal too~ sheesh! That being said, I do like the size for an RV, next on my list, so thanks for doing the side by side~ very helpful.
    The cook modes on my air fryer actually do have variances, meaning they do not all cook the same. The convection fan only comes on in air fry/ roast/dehydrate. It does not come on w/broil/sear/ preheat or bake~ unless I do it manually. That being said, mine is a larger, square mini-oven style that is an off brand~ "Iconics" I think is the name. I love it, but do NOT love the clean up~ it's a fairly big mess nearly every time we use it.
