  • Don’t let the word “mini” scare you, this is a very powerful, versatile, efficient little Air Fryer!
Color: White
The media could not be loaded. My kitchen gets so hot in the evening that running the oven/stove nightly for dinner was too much heat, so started the hunt for a small air fryer. It took over 2 months to decide since I didn’t want to spend $$$ not knowing how much use I would get out of it, and if it would work without blowing a circuit. It arrived on the 13th and has been used every day since. I wanted simple, and simple is what I got. Simple enough that straight out of the box, a first time user may never need to reference the ‘get started’ manual included. It’s a cinch to setup and the control panel is intuitive. The mini has a small footprint that is comparable in size to my 9 cup food processor, but weighs less. The stuff I really like: - It doesn’t take up much space on or under the counter. - Available in a variety of colors. Obviously, I love the arctic white color! - The design is aesthetically pleasing and adds a modern touch to the counter top. - It has a low electrical load capacity at 1300 watts that does not trip a 15 or 20A circuit in an old house. This has been a growing concern of mine with newer electronics. - Versatile? The “presets” are the default temperatures for your cooking options: air fry, roast, bake, and reheat. I pretty much use the air fry setting (changing the time & temp of course) for baked chicken (raw chicken w/ seasonings), vegetables, and pretty much everything else. To date, I have only used the ‘Bake’ function twice; once as a test for a plain chicken breast, and once for a baked potato wrapped in foil with both results consistent with my oven’s! - Food Capacity/Space? The 2 qt capacity has space to create large meal size portions for 1-2 people. The square footage of (6.5”x6.5”) is roomy enough to cook a wide range of foods. I don’t use precooked or frozen meats but market fresh. The “mini” can cook one lg chicken breast (w/without bone), 2-3 medium/small chicken breasts, 2-4 chicken thighs, 2 mahi mahi fillets, 1-2 pork chops, or 5 lamb chops (loin or T-bones) at one time as a single layer. Of course, your sizes/cuts can vary but these are what I have ‘air fried’ to date. You could possibly add more (depending on sizes) but remember to not restrict air flow. You can also cook in batches since cooking time is fast. For foods that can be “stacked” (ie veggies, tater tops, tenders etc) you can add a larger portion filling the basket. You can make garlic toast slices and even complete sandwiches (grilled cheese, meatball, and rubens etc). It’s a game changer when it comes to crisping up frozen processed foods: french fries, onion rings, taquitos, eggrolls etc. This rules!!! You can also fill the tray or liner for fresh veggies al dente, or make teriyaki or sweet & sour etc. Best part of all? I have used zero oil! - Odor control? It’s another way to cook bacon perfectly without the whole house smelling of it and minimal mess (results comparable to baking in the oven). The odor is dramatically reduced, but so is the quantity in the tray so you’ll need to cook in batches. - It has an automatic pre-heat function that takes ~ 2 minutes - Energy efficient? The 2 Qt Mini heats up and cooks significantly faster and more efficiently than larger volume baskets and the oven. The longest cooking time used has been 22 minutes at 390°. - Poor eyesight? The digital screen is easy to read with good white on black contrast - Not tech saavy? The dial control is analog & easy to use to set temp and time - Noise? The fan noise level is not overly loud or distracting. - Not watching the clock? It’ll ‘beep’ when ready for you to add food, turn food, and End - Quick cool down? Once basket is removed from unit, it cools down exceptionally fast. - Cleaning? It’s easier to clean. Both the basket & tray are removable and dishwasher safe, BUT the small size makes it easy to fit most small sinks to hand wash (my preferred method). In the event of stubborn or baked on food, I’d recommend using a soft bristle brush or even an old toothbrush to handle the residue on the grill & around the clips. - General maintenance? To avoid grease build up on your coil you should clean the area at least once monthly if not weekly (especially if you air fry bacon). It’s pretty easy to do and it will extend the life of your unit and it’s efficiency. Make sure it’s unplugged and cooled down. Remove the basket & tray, and turn the unit on its side or upside down. Use a damp sponge to wipe off any baked-on grease accumulated. - Compact & portable? Take it with you to save $$$ on food or to stay on a restricted diet. It’s not limited to your home, apartment, or dorm. You can take it into work for that long or overnight shift (it fits right under your cubicle or in your locker). It carries well on your business trip when trying to save $$$ on restaurants, or when car camping & road trips if you have a power inverter. Visiting family for the holidays? Bring it with. - Accessories? silicone inserts & parchment liners are available for this size model making it even easier to cook things like glazed pork, teriyaki, sweet & sour and other saucy or difficult to clean dishes. Plus it will save you on the wear & tear of the original “finish/coating”. - Price? The price was perfect for my budget! Best of all, I found it on Amazon Second Chance which has become my new best friend! Stuff I’m not too keen about: - The instant-connect app does not work for Samsung Galaxy Note 8 android version 9 - Does not contain a splatter shield to protect coil - Cooking with it is addictive! Overall, I am totally happy with my purchase, the size, quality, functions, and price. It’s perfect for adults and seniors, any person that is starting out, cooking for 1-2 people, is stove-less, has limited space, or just wants a small accessory that’s sleek, modern & functional. Durability is unknown at this time, but I’ll update should there be any changes. All in all, I am extremely pleased with my purchase 5-Stars! ... show more

  • We use this almost daily! Cooks perfectly!
Color: Aqua
We love this air fryer! It is only 2 of us in the household and this is the perfect size. it is compact and we love the color. We have had it for months and it cooks so well! If you have more than 2 people you might want to find a larger size since this one is only 2QT. I usually cook frozen items in it such as appetizers, meatless burgers, french fries, you name it. Everything comes out perfect! The outside looks like the day we got it. As far as the inside, I hand wash it and do not let it soak in water ever but it is showing some signs of rust but we do use it a lot. The food we made taste amazing it this! Please keep in mind to never keep it up against the wall when using. We pull it out, the heat needs to escape from the back of the unit. It has a small foot print and takes up very little room on our kitchen counter. We are very happy with this! ... show more

  • Happy with this purchase !!
Color: White
i've used it every day since i received it two weeks ago and am happy with this Instapot Vortex. As a carnivore, frying meat and bacon on the stove is a messy affair and frequently set off the smoke alarms. Now I cook bacon and the meats in the air fryer, it's fast, no grease spattering all over the stovve and me ! Easy clean up. I like the simplicity of use and it's quiet. My only question is why the ding to tell me to turn the food is set so low. I see other buyers here saying they want to turn it off as I guess it's too loud for them but I can barely hear mine and wish I could turn up the volume. PS: I don't have a hearing problem. I bought a kitchen timer to remind me to turn the food half way thru the cycle so not a big deal. One other thing..it would help if there was more space for food to expand (like muffins or any baked item) so it wouldn't get so close to the element and brown too quicklyy or even burn. But for the low end model and mini size this is great for my needs. ... show more

  • Right-sized for an individual. Simple interface. Consistent results. Knob is a little iffy.
Color: Black
I purchased the Instant 2qt mini air fryer based on a recommendation from an organization that does reviews. I was late to get on the air fryer train, but I'm glad I did. If you don't need to air fry much and don't want to give up too much counter space, this is great. If you're preparing solo meals, this size mostly suffices. If you have a partner or kids, you may want something bigger or with two baskets. However, I picked this because it's all I needed AND the review said it cooks consistently. Apparently larger air fryers can produce more inconsistent results. Size: The basket is roughly 6.75 inches x 6.75 inches, with (just a guess) about 2 inches of comfortable space between the bottom tray and what I believe is the fill line. Would you want to fill it that full? Absolutely not. (If only the marketing materials weren't blatantly misrepresenting how much you can actually fit into this little guy. Or any air fryer.) One standard size block of tofu, cut into reasonably sized pieces, fills the bottom of the basket in a single layer. Does a good job at cooking two hash brown patties, or a single serving of tots. I've reheated single slices of pizza in it for a little bit of extra crispiness on leftovers. Tempura chicken works great, no surprises there. I have not yet achieved comfort with trying to air fry fries -- sometimes they get burnt, and I'm cautious to not cause too much layering. Sadly, I am only able to comfortably fit one piece of frozen breaded salmon in it, but it does a great job at crisping those up. The inner tray is held in place with some silicone "tabs" that offer less resistance if any oil gets applied or comes off of your food, but it has yet to accidentally fall out. Not too noisy. I don't have anything to compare to, but I am not bothered by this at all. Unlike many modern appliances, it is only capable of a simple beep; no songs! Joy! The user interface is simple. However, I suspect the different functions it has are only for show. At best, they control whether you have any predetermine preheat time, and maybe offer a memory for temp/time. As far as I know, the fan is always running, so you don't get to opt-out of air fryer mode. I am skeptical of the knob. Like some old/faulty volume knobs, sometimes "down" actually means "up" and vice versa, but it seems to MOSTLY work. That may be the annoying mode of failure for this device. I will keep an eye on it. ... show more
