Was expecting more from air fryer lid

Purchased just over a week ago. I have the instant pot 6qt and 3qt that I use all the time and love! Was going to purchase the Ninja Foodi then saw this and purchased instead. The pressure cooker works great, as expected. The air fryer is disappointing, I can only assume I got a bad fryer lid. Have ...

Started out great then the crisp lid has been bad

Year plus ago I bought this model but for whatever reason, I forgot to register it. I'm regretting it now. I will skip my disappointment that they don't sell replacement parts for the air fry basket. The cheap plastic base cracked and I had to improvise. Fine. But lately the air fryer lid will give ...

Not a great air-fryer

The air-fryer isn’t great, everything sticks and it’s very hard to clean after air-frying even after spraying with cooking spray . The pressure cooker mode works great and easier to clean then after air-fryer mode. Had it since November and still has a new plastic smell while using it.

Air Fryer basket peels

I love the instant pot and everything about it except the Air Frying basket’s coating started to peel after two uses. I was disappointed having to return it.

Size for pressure cooking is great but the area for air frying was too small. Taking it back and getting IP Vortex

Versatility in exchange for tiny inconvenience

First, it’s important to note I am a long time crockpot user and was hesitant to spend the money on an instant pot that I felt I would not get much use out of. As a stay at home mom, I love the convenience of “dump and go” crockpot meals or a simple one-pot meal I can throw together in my Dutch oven...

Good for the home cook, professionals should stay away

Tldr; if this had a real sous vide circulator and accurate thermometer, a 500 F broiler, and more accurate cooking options, it would be show stopper. Unfortunately, it doesn't, so it's good to save space (maybe) for the home cook, but worthless in a professional kitchen. Someone else wrote about sou...

Pretty decent, but not excellent

So... the story of this purchase is that I needed to replace my air fryer (for some reason, my air fryers don't last longer than 2 years until something in that plastic housing cracks), and I was tempted by the advertised versatility and the obviously sturdy construction of this one. I have a small ...

I am an experienced pressure cooker user, so the Instant Pot posed less of a learning curve for me than for some.

I have used the slow cooker, pressure cooker, sous vide and air fryer functions so far. Great performance in every mode. My family and I love the yogurt I make in the sous vide mode.

Worth it mostly. Bigger than you expect. Too much for the average user.

Definitely a good replacement for my traditional pressure cooker. It's quite a bit larger than my mind had estimated and the lid you're not using takes up a large footprint of area. The companion app in general doesn't seem to grasp that this item exists and struggles to be relevant. I'd say it's a ...
