"The roborock I have kicked and smashed with my foot so many times out of anger when it doesn't collaborate, and still he rocks 4-5 yrs later and no broken parts"

"It's MUCH easier to clean non stick surfaces (1 minute after each use). ... Takes me 1 minute to clean my Cosori with a nylon brush and Dawn."
"Clean up is a snap all it takes is a little bit of your dish detergent I use Dawn and three tablespoons of baking soda made into a small little paste you cover the inside you cover the. Inside in the rack with it you wait 15 minutes rinse it well with warm water paper towel dry it and it's done."
"both baskets go in the dishwasher, which makes cleanup way easier"

"On my air fryer you can pull the basket out whenever you want and the cooking will pause and restart when you insert the basket unless you cancel the cooking cycle or unplug the machine."

"You can cook potatoes or vegetables on bottom while you’re air frying on the top."
"And it does so many other things. ... I used normal air fryer before and they are extremely limited relative to the speedi. ... You can steam in the speedi. ... You could use it as a rice cooker. ... It has like 10 functions and they all work very well."
"it has a rotisserie mode, in case you want your fries to be tumbled while cooked and a "spit" that secures your whole chicken."

"But the thing just stopped working after less than a year ... that’s after my first Fitbit did the same"
"My seventh Fitbit died last week (from Luxe to Versa to Charge 5 and 6, this was my second in-warranty replacement), white line on the screen to no screen at all within 24 hours."
"Ours just died after using it almost every day for two years ... I don’t think I want to buy another."

"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"

"Id give up the extra quart of capacity to get the flexability of that big basket for when I am doign something that doesnt fit well in the smaller side by side baskets."
"Ninja's removable plate design would always result in a soggy underside if I overfilled due to the air being unable to circulate."
"is VERY small"

"Crisper plate nonstick coating is crap"
60PersonDanceCrew 1.0I have an older version of this and I love it
PuggleLover11 1.0Can confirm this is the one (updated 11/24). Also, As mentioned elsewhere the clear cook odorerase version. is the upgrade pick
DazzlingCapital5230 0.6The instant pot vortex one is quite on sale right now and works well. I would also get a small microwave if you do lots of little things that require that.
BourbonBravado 0.4we have the ninja side by side. it works fine. you can operate both sides as one, if you want. and you can set both sides to finish at the same time if they have different settings. i don't like that you have to manually pause it if you don't want hot air just blowing out when you open a basket and it doesn't have a reminder to flip like our single basket Instant Vortex does.
bubbamike1 0.3I haven’t that much Air Fryer experience but I’m very happy with the 6 qt Instant Vortex Plus. I hardly use my oven anymore.
I bought one back in July and since I unpacked it I haven’t used my oven once. There may be better ones but it’s worked well for me. I like the dial to change time and temp.
Caprichoso1 0.31. For basket fryers cleaning the basket is going to be the same everywhere. Remove the grill and clean both separately. The only difference is whether the basket/grill are non-stick or dishwasher safe. 2. Parchment paper defeats air flow and therefore the purpose of an air fryer. In addition for foods which give off a lot of fat, such as chicken legs, the food would be lying in a pool of fat on the parchment paper. You want the fat to drain in order to crisp the food. 3. Top reviewed is Instant Pot Vortex Plus 6QT. Not the most robust unit out there. Support and parts can be problematic. The unit will likely last as long as the non-stick coating does. Non-stick coatings or all cookware has a limited life.
There have been many posts searching for a "non-toxic" air fryer. Don't really understand it. I am extremely chemically sensitive but I have absolutely no problem with teflon coatings. Haven't seen any posts about health issues with teflon with their air fryer other than the obvious ones such as the coating failing. Top reviewed fryer is the Instant Pot Vortex Plus 6QT. It is relatively cheaply made so the LCD display is failing but I can still use it. Double baskets have limitations. The Breville oven style is a high quality expensive product but not as good at air frying.
donlapalma 0.3I have it and the basket is falling apart. I use the heck out of it. Love it other than I wish the basket held up better.
Professional-Joke119 0.3I have this one and have nothing but good things to say about it
RelationshipRude5068 0.3Even kitchen aid isn’t what it used to be… if you want a quality stand mixer built like a tank, you’ve got to look at Bosch or Kenwood. I have an instant vortex plus 6 qt myself. Crisper plate nonstick coating is crap, but the rest seems sturdy enough.
It’s the sides, too, at least for mine (not a ninja).
Oh, I have an instant pot vortex plus.
You can test it by cooking something, then carefully touching the side.
bxttlecry 0.2[Instant Pot](https://s.shopee.ph/AUislZZh2b). We bought the older version ng Air Fryer nila sa Mall 3 years ago and hanggang ngayon nagagamit pa rin namin. Puro 1500W energy ng Air Fryers nila kaya energy efficient talaga, 30-40% lang kasi ng kuryente nagagamit compared sa other oven/air fryer. Iyang Instant Vortex Plus 6-in-1 Air Fryer naman nila is 6 modes na kaya less hassle tantiyahin niluluto + touch screen na rin. Sabi ng nag-assist sa amin sa mall is safe for dishwasher tapos madali linisan iyong coating ng basket ng model na mayroon kami. But wipes lang pinanglilinis namin. And upon checking is diyan din sa Vortex Plus. Affiliate link posted. https://preview.redd.it/t0liy6ja6ubf1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a70acbae0863fe28a1576a70ddaec1bd61fb2bb

I think for that size is Oven size na, walang top brand out there na may available ng 9L at least. Ingat sa pagbili dahil baka fake/generic product mabili mo, delikado dahil appliances.
