Anything that is oven safe, is safe to use in your Airfryer – think ramekins, silicone moulds, cake pans, glass or ceramic dishes, anything that fits! So, feel free to utilise the kitchenware you already have and use it inside your Airfryer too.
What’s in the box?
- 5.7L airfryer with removable airfry basket
- Removable cooking tray
- Getting started guide
- Safety, maintenance and warranty manual
The "litre volume" information provided by many airfryer manufacturers is not a fair reflection of cooking capacity, as this accounts for the inside space without the basket or drawer. What matters more is the cooking area at the bottom of the basket. To get the best results, you should cook items in a single layer, so focus on the base, not just the height or volume.
The Instant Vortex Airfryer range features drawers designed to maximise the cooking area, without negatively affecting cooking performance. The Vortex 5.7L models have a basket area of 240mm x 245mm which is big enough for a 1.6kg whole chicken, plus roast potatoes. This is ample size for a family of 4.

So easy to use and keep clean

Review by Anonymous on 29 December 2020, 17 days after purchase
After using my Vortex for a week, I found this to be a must in the kitchen. I love the way the basket is designed. It is so easy to clean, no brush needed, just a drop of detergent, hot water, rinse, and wipe. So, because it's so simple to clean compared to my old air fryer, I have used it every day for everything from bacon, sausages and fish fingers to chips! I also find that being able to swop the temperature readout between °C and °F is extremely useful. I highly recommend this product. Read more

I've been watching the air fryer market for a while now and I'm glad I waited for this one. The price is excellent for the size and I'm ready to chuck out my old oven.
Everything bakes/fries/roasts so quickly, I like how easy it is to use and the touch screen is great. This is what is missing in your life!

BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD

Review by Mariette M. on 27 January 2021, 1 month after purchase
My hubby bought me this magic machine for Christmas and boy is it amazing. I absolutely love this airfryer. Make burgers in chips in less than 30 minutes and chips are golden brown and crispy. Fried chicken in 15 minutes. This machine has changed my life for the good. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Life changing!

I don't know how I've ever lived without an airfryer. It's the best value for money you can find and works like a dream! If you're looking for a large air fryer this is definitely the one to get.

Review by Helena S. on 4 February 2021, 7 days after purchase
Received and used it right away! was so excited. Whitefish fillets in no time came out perfect to flake. Chips were a bit dry, next time I might use more oil.
I cannot wait to roast a chicken and reheat my lunches! Great product and the best in the range, I believe. Instant Vortex! The best!
I do, however, wish it had a basket inside and not only a flat inner.
I would recommend this product to a friend.
Awesome

Super easy to use, my kids have used it every day since we bought it. Chips, nuggets, even toasted sarmies. Makes the most amazing crispy and still juicy wings. Plus no oil, what more could you ask for? :)

After having read the positive reviews on this product, I took the plunge and finally added an air fryer to my basket. I definitely don’t regret it! A well made, easy-to-use product that has already produced some excellent results. I would definitely recommend this to anyone considering buying an air fryer.

Review by Anonymous on 25 February 2021, 28 days after purchase
I wasn't sure that an air-fryer was that necessary, as we don't eat a lot of deep-fried food. This is what put me off buying one of the earlier models. However, when I read what this model would do I realised that the "fryer" part in the name was just one of the many options available. The mini oven aspect is proving to be a real asset in addition to any "frying", e.g. chips etc.
It uses less electricity than a conventional oven and with easy to use settings, "what you see is what you get".
Simple, and it being easy to clean is a bonus in my kitchen. Read more

Excellent Product!

Review by Yvette V. on 7 April 2021, 13 days after purchase
It has a huge basket, big enough to cook food for a family. It took a few cooking sessions to get rid of the metallic smell, which was weird. It is not so noisy. I wished however, there was a small recipe booklet included. There is only a cooking timetable for chips and wings in the "getting started guide". Overall very happy with the purchase and good value for money, if you use it often.

We are so happy you’re enjoying your airfryer! We checked in with the supplier and while this smell is completely normal with new products, they suggest adding a cup of water and vinegar to the cooking basket and then running the airfryer at the maximum temperature for 10 minutes to help remove the odour faster.
Airfryer that dreams are made of!

I just love my new airfryer! It works amazingly, cooks everything perfectly and very quickly, and clean up is a breeze! Compared to other air fryers, the size, look and feel can not be beaten! I would definitely recommend this to a friend (if not all of my friends)!

Have been mulling over this purchase for months and getting recommendations from family and friends on their air fryers, this one came out tops by far!
So took the plunge and made the purchase as a Mother’s Day gift to myself. So glad it arrived in time and can’t wait to try out the different recipes in the app.

Fantastic Choice

Review by Veronica L. on 17 May 2021, 17 days after purchase
I have been on the hunt for a well-priced, decent-sized air fryer for a little while, and this one delivers on all fronts! It offers one of the "roomiest" baskets in its class (you could easily fit half a head of cabbage in there!) and it is incredibly user-friendly and easy to wash once you're done. I would definitely recommend this air fryer if you are looking for a mid-range spend with a high-end result. A very happy customer indeed :) Read more

Replaced my previous basic Philips AirFryer. In comparison, this air fryer is an evolution. It's an absolute breeze to clean, roomy, and its display is exceptionally convenient and easy to use.

Unbelievably good!

Review by Warrick T. on 6 July 2021, 13 days after purchase
I knew air fryers were good... I didn't know they could be this good! It has completely transformed how I cook by slashing cooking times and decreasing electricity usage by not having to use the oven. I am extremely impressed. You won't realise how badly you need one until you have one in your kitchen.
I would recommend this product to a friend.

Review by Shân O. on 20 December 2021, 17 days after purchase
If you're (also) one of those people who has waited months to get an air fryer, wondering if all those (other) people who have one and are raving about it are right... they're right. They're absolutely right. Don't wait. You'll also wish you had got this gem months earlier.
It's big enough for roasts, or a very decent amount of veg. Makes cooking so quick and easy. The whole compartment is non-stick, and it cleans like a dream -- you practically just rinse it out with warm water and soap. The only thing I use my oven for is baking, although for small batches, you can also do that in here. Did I mention you shouldn't make the same mistake, and wait? Read more
I would recommend this product to a friend.
A good buy!

This is my first airfryer and since I love my InstantPot pressure cooker, I decided to try their airfryer, and I am very impressed.
Not only is airfrying quick and convenient, but this appliance is also very easy to use and easy to clean making it a kitchen staple!

We don't use our oven anymore!
Item reviewed:
Review by Caterina T. on 24 June 2022, over 6 months months after purchase
We bought this as a gift ourselves as parents-to-be.
We lived on ready-made meals in the early weeks of our baby's life — it was just so easy to pop them in here to cook while getting on with other things.
The timer function means you don't have to worry about anything burning. Nowadays we use it pretty much every day for roast veggies, chicken, toasted sandwiches, pastries, you name it.
It halves the cooking time and is great for a busy mom like me! It's become a workhorse in our kitchen, and our oven rarely gets used. Read more

I love it and it has changed my life.
I would say it is nearly perfect apart from my concern about the chemical smell that is still subsisting even after 2 months of use (including following the recommendation to get rid of the smell in other comments).

I have tried everything but the smell of plastic is still present and makes the food taste unpleasant.
The smell of plastic doesn't go away until the unit has cooled down completely.

Plastic smell.

Review by Anonymous on 16 June 2022
Returned my purchase on the second day.
My airfryer had a bad plastic chemical smell that was making the food taste like plastic. I ran the machine as per instructions but that didn’t take away the bad smell.
Now I’m stuck without an airfryer and a kitchen that has a bad smell left behind from the airfryer.
I informed the manager that I would want a refund as I would not want the same brand of airfryer again.
Utterly disappointed!! Read more
