"after a month of burn in with the equaliser I have set (increase all bars to +5) it sounds so pleasant and great, more than value for money ! ... It’s sounds amazing in terms of bass and volume only post using custom eq. ... It sounds like a proper hifi system is playing. ... I can make my tribit sound like bose,jbl or however I want via different EQs. ... Tribit x sound plus 2 according to me is the best sounding speaker under not just 5 but ₹10k ... I agree ... I second that! ... loved the speaker later on so much that I got one more lol."

"Excellent detail retrieval ... The Aether raises the bar for the entire IEM industry. ... It represents a tectonic shift in what consumers can expect in both tonal purity and technical prowess per dollar. ... The Aether’s capacity to resolve detail eclipses many much more expensive IEMs both old and new alike."

"the window extremely helpful for keeping an eye on food that you don't have a actual air fryer recipe for ... that window allows me to look at the progress without opening it up over and over again"
"you can see as there is a glass there, nakikita mo siya ano nangyayari ... how many times ko binubuksan yn air fryer just to check and that makes the heat go down."

"I cooked a whole, bone in turkey breast, around 5.5lbs. Came out amazing, and in no time"
"Takes less than 30 seconds to preheat."
"poke some holes in a potato and toss it in the microwave for 7 minutes then roll in a little oil and salt then 8 minutes in the air fryer (flip halfway) and it’s better than a restaurant baked potato."

"it’s got a rotisserie! I don’t have the shake anything"
"The fry basket rotisserie attachment alone is worth it to me."
"it has a rotisserie mode, in case you want your fries to be tumbled while cooked and a "spit" that secures your whole chicken."

"The off gassing on mine was terrible."
"How long does it take for the plastic smell to go away? I just got one and can't handle the smell 😩 ... Right? It's so bad and the plastic smell gets into the food. ... I did that and it still stinks 😂 I just use it for reheating food now since I don't have a microwave lol the taste is less noticeable though"
"It's all cheap plastic construction"

"The basket developed a small hole on it, due to rubbing when it’s inserted/removed (which is a design flaw in my opinion)."
"before the handle fell off the basket"
Background-Raise6389 1.0Id definitely go with the Instant vortex mini. its around $60 and is the recommended budget air fryer on wirecutter. You can find some good options [in this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/cookingforbeginners/comments/1lxgrty/best_budget_air_fryer/)
Blowingleaves17 1.0I like Ninja, but if you want a small one, I highly recommend Instant Pot Vortex 2-QT Mini.
Tht's similar to the Instant Pot Vortex 2QT Mini Air Fryer I have. I use it all the time, instead of my larger Ninja, simply because I air fry very little food at a time.
Flux_My_Capacitor 1.0I’m guessing most people buy larger air fryers given the comments. The instant mini is only 8” as well. I love it.
Great-Menu515 1.0Following the recommendation from [wirecutter](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-air-fryer/) I just bought the [Instant Pot Vortex 2QT Mini Air Fryer](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08YS2ZZ97/) (has a basket) and I am in love. I have used it every day since I bought it
hiyel 1.0Don’t buy Instant Pot. I got their Vortex Mini model, and used it almost daily for about two years. The basket developed a small hole on it, due to rubbing when it’s inserted/removed (which is a design flaw in my opinion). I contacted them to get/purchase a replacement basket, since the rest of the device functions just fine. They told me that particular model is discontinued, and they can’t get me another basket.
Jheritheexoticdancer 1.0I’ve use a Insta Pot 2 quart air fryer. It worked great for me for 5 years. I just replaced with a 5 quart Ninja. Besides being larger which is no biggie cause it’s just me, I have problems with stuff blowing around in the Ninja which wasn’t an issue with my Instant Pot AF. Also, the old Insta Pot AF had a roast option. I noticed most but not all portable models, no matter the brand, replaced the bake option with dehydrator. Perhaps there are folks who do dehydrate, but I personally don’t know anyone interested in such a feature. I’m thought about gifting the Ninja and going back to a Insta Pot AF EXCEPT the model Ninja I have has a ceramic coating which I love and is supposedly healthier than Teflon.
ma77mc 1.0If you just want a small but good one, I have the instant vortex mini, its a fantastic air fryer but, is VERY small.
reduser876 1.0My toaster oven has an air fryer basket and setting. I don't think it does nearly as good a job air "frying" as my basket style fryer. I use both for different things. When I first got the basket style (Instant Vortex 2qt), I experimented and compared both with frozen french fries. The oven air fryer was way behind the basket. Took longer and never got as crispy. Not even close.
anteaterKnives 0.1> this was a big issue when they first came out; I assume they've fixed it by now Can confirm - it had a smell the first time I ran through a 15m air fryer cycle (empty, per the quick start instructions) and I haven't smelled anything since.
BeerSlayingBeaver 0.1Thanks for your input! We have one of those instant pot vortex air fryers, just with a different label on the front. The house we are moving into has fairly new appliances. They were bought in '22 I believe but it's just the two of us and a dog so we don't often like using the oven if we can help it. I'll take a look at the Bella air fryer! I guess air fryers themselves aren't that expensive. If I'm going to spend $500 on appliances, I might as well look at a combi oven too 😂
