Our take on the Instant Pot 4QT Vortex 4 Plus Air Fryer

The Instant Pot Vortex 4 Plus is a 4-quart basket air fryer with 1,600 watts and a top temperature of 401°F. It is a compact single-basket unit aimed at small kitchens and one- to two-person households, where its roughly 13-inch footprint fits under a cabinet. It does the basics well and heats fast, but it lacks the dual baskets, higher top temperatures and app controls that many rivals in its size class now offer. Reviewers are split: many like the results, while a notable share report uneven cooking and durability problems.

Questions and answers

Is the 4-quart basket big enough for a family?
It suits one or two people. A family of four will need to cook in batches, since the basket holds roughly two generous portions of fries or wings.
Can I put the basket in the dishwasher?
No. The basket and crisper plate are hand-wash only, so plan on a quick soak and wash after each use.
How does it compare with the Instant Vortex Plus 6-quart?
The 6-quart model gives you more capacity and more headroom for whole chickens and larger batches. This 4-quart version is smaller and simpler, with fewer preset programs.
Does it need preheating?
Preheating is not required, but a few minutes at the set temperature gives more even browning, especially for frozen foods.
What can I cook in it besides fries?
It handles wings, vegetables, fish, reheated leftovers and small batches of baked goods. It is not a dehydrator and tops out at 401°F.
Is the nonstick coating safe to use with metal tongs?
Use silicone or wooden utensils. Metal tools can scratch the coating, and some owners report flaking with rough handling.

At Wayfair, for $86.99, 33% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
