      That’s really a different thing.

      The beauty of an air fryer is the quick heat up, cook and clean, while your model is great it’s starting to veer a little to a traditional oven,

      • mauricem on 10/05/2023 - 13:01

        I've got this and a kmart 5l. The 5l is probably 20% quicker but that's where its advantage stops. The 10l is much easier to clean with removable trays and door. The trays let you cook multiple items at different temps using the upper and lower shelves and can act as a windbreak to stop toppings being blown off!

        • Munki on 10/05/2023 - 15:44
          +1

          But that's like saying a conventional oven does a much better job cooking a whole chook than an air fryer. They're still different devices. That 10L is just a mini oven with "Air Fryer" slapped on it.

          • Robot16 on 10/05/2023 - 16:08

            @Munki: Silly question. So the is the 10l the same just a few minutes slower?

        • entropysbane on 10/05/2023 - 20:15

          Kmart one, is it the dual drawer 9 litre for $129?

          https://www.kmart.com.au/product/9l-twin-air-fryer-43096657/

          Seems highly rated from the reviews and can cook two different foods with different settings at the same time.
          I am about to pull the pin but now looking at this vortex.

        • spaceflight on 10/05/2023 - 22:41

          The trays let you cook multiple items at different temps using the upper and lower shelves

          It's a box with a fan in it.
          You can't have different temperatures for different shelves. That's not how ovens work

          • mauricem on 10/05/2023 - 22:49
            +2

            @spaceflight: The upper shelf is closer to the heating element and is significantly hotter than the lower shelf even after preheating.
            eg
            Chips up top, fish in foil below = perfect crispy chips and moist delicate perfect fish.
            using the same time
            Fish up top, chips below = overcooked fish and undercooked chips.

    • kudoz on 10/05/2023 - 16:11

      Why is that? Reviews seem much more mixed on that one

    • infinite on 10/05/2023 - 18:56

      Nope, this is a rotisserie oven branded as an air fryer, it's not eh same thing and won't work the same way. It also has way less effective cooking space in it.

      • mauricem on 10/05/2023 - 22:56

        Its an air fryer with a removable rotisserie with heaps of usable space as food can be stacked over 3 levels instead of just dumped on the bottom. I used the rotisserie once in 12 months. You shouldn't offer absolute opinions about products you know nothing about.

          Looks like a mini oven to me.

          • karkassa on 11/05/2023 - 16:25

            @cookie2: That is exactly what an air fryer is, a fan-forced mini oven. Of course the efficiency, easiness of usage, cleaning, etc, will vary, so better check reviews of individual products.

        • infinite on 12/05/2023 - 23:02

          Food can be stacked over 3 levels and more of it can be stacked over those levels in OP's actual AirFryer though.

          Sounds like you are the one talking nonsense to me.

  • itsmiffy on 10/05/2023 - 10:52

    This or wait for the clear cook version to come under $200 again? Does anyone know if the filters on that need to be bought or do you just wash them?

    Seems the only difference is the viewing window, or our filter and that it’s more quiet?

  • pull the lever on 10/05/2023 - 11:06

    • Tuttorix on 10/05/2023 - 11:08

      No.

      • Grok on 10/05/2023 - 11:14
        +2

        The Phillips can be three times the price or more.

        I have used both and the Phillips cooks well no question but it is way over engineered in the basket/draw area but the control centre buttons and arrangement is an absolute abomination compared to the clean controls of the Instant.

        I would rather the instant by far and pocket a few hundred dollars.

        • Tuttorix on 10/05/2023 - 11:18

          Its been $180 just last month. Also he asked if this or Philips was better, I just answered.

          I don't know which airfryer are you talking about, but I don't know how you could get cleaner than the Premium XXL, and it looks like basically the same setup as this Instant…

      • justaddwater on 10/05/2023 - 11:23

          Depends which. The mesh one is horrible, the others are just as easy.

          • DontNeedThis on 11/05/2023 - 13:20

            @Tuttorix: I had the mesh one. Basically uncleanable, unless you use a dish washer

            • Tuttorix on 11/05/2023 - 13:24

              @DontNeedThis: Tell me about it man, I ended up replacing mine altogether once it had too much "patina". But if someone buys it brand new, just get those silicon or baking paper inserts with holes at the bottom and are cup shaped. You'll never have our problem ever again.

        • infinite on 10/05/2023 - 19:00

          No, not even close.

        • Navanod66 on 11/05/2023 - 09:58

          The Philips with the mesh and the "starfish" base basket is a nightmare to clean and eventually "seasoned" itself a new non-stick layer of grease like an iron skillet.
          I particularly hated the protruding metal tab near the base of the basket that traps crumbs and is constantly in the way when cleaning!

          We had to use the Philips outdoor as it started to produce smoke when cooking from all the built up grease!

          The Instant Vortex, in comparison, is a dream to clean and operate. As soon as we got the Vortex, the Philips went to landfill!

  • ssd01 on 10/05/2023 - 11:14

    • Theycott on 10/05/2023 - 11:26

      If the pizza is small enough… sure? I don't know why you would cook pizza in an air fryer though. The toppings would fly everywhere and would likely just end up being a huge mess.

      • ssd01 on 10/05/2023 - 11:29

          Max temp is 205.

      • NigelTufnel on 11/05/2023 - 10:37

        I've found our Philips great to make a quick mini pizza for my kid with these for lunch. But they are not fussy on the quality. It would not fit a decent sized pizza anyway and be a pain to get out of the basket even if it did cook it well.

    • infinite on 10/05/2023 - 19:02

      Yeah, but no different to cooking a small pizza in an oven set to 205c.

          +5

          Sorry I should explain. Put paper down and then the internal rack on top and then food on top of that. It makes cleaning easier as you can pull the paper out with all the melted cheese and stuff on it, rather than clean the whole basket.

    • mangolassi on 10/05/2023 - 11:34

      Caps out at 205 C, and the heat come only from the top.

      Maybe a tiny pizza stone would improve results, but this can't even toast bread well.

    • Theycott on 10/05/2023 - 14:27

      Just buy a pizza oven if it's within your budget. If not, get a pizza steel for your oven. If even that's too costly, pizza stone.

        If you return things that are not in a re-saleable condition for Amazon you may get flagged and potentially banned + blacklisted from ordering. The algorithm will pick up on customers who they are losing money on and cease doing business with them. Not worth the risk for $30

            @Lonewolf1983: Yeah, well the key word is re-saleable condition. You can try and fool them and if it works it works, but if they realise you returned a second hand product as new you are playing a risky game.

            Also, it might be slightly suspicious to buy 2 of the exact same product and return one?

I measured the philips basket at 23cm x 22.5cm x 9cm for 4657cc, and the Instant basket is said to be 24cm x 24cm x 8.5cm for 4896cc based on what i can find online.

      The IP duo crisp isn't as good an air fryer as the Vortex - people say it's just ok, and really just used for making pressure cooked things have a bit of colour.

      That being said, pressure cookers are pretty amazing in their own right

    • Caped Baldy on 10/05/2023 - 15:26

      I got one but haven't used the air fry feature yet. It's seems like a pain to clean.

    • dawnchorus on 11/05/2023 - 20:00

      I am currently considering buying one of these or the phillips when on sale to fill the role of air fryer in our household.
      I purchased a Duo Crisp last year and we have loved it, especially the pressure cooking and slow cooking features.
      It is a great airfryer too, however I find the vertical basket just a little too restrictive especially if you want to do a parma and chips situation, you really need to do the items seperately to have them cook properly.

      Have yet to have a batch of chips cook properly in it as the basket space just isn't quite generous enough to give surface area for a clean cook.
      Potato gems on the other hand work great, and hash browns turn out well too aside from only being able to fit 4 at a time (who only eats 4 hash browns??)

      Considering I only paid about $100 for the duo crisp I am thinking I'll pull the trigger on one of these for all the air frying. The crisp lid is massive and loud anyway.

      I also think that the clear window would be useless after a few months or look horrible if not well maintained.
