The Emeril Lagasse Everyday 360 provides a generous 16-qt interior and twelve preset cooking functions, combining air-frying, rotisserie, and more in a stainless-steel countertop oven.

Professional reviewers commend the Everyday 360 for its versatile 12-preset menu, generous 930 cu in capacity and even 360° airflow, positioning it as a solid mid-size countertop oven-air fryer. However, they note slower preheat, a 400 °F temperature cap and a thinner metal build that may not satisfy users seeking rugged durability or ultra-high heat performance.
Everyday consumers appreciate the appliance's ability to crisp foods without oil, accommodate full pizzas, and handle a range of cooking tasks from baking to dehydrating. Common frustrations revolve around slower heating, the limited maximum temperature, a relatively flimsy metal shell, and tight interior space for larger dishes.
“"like a toaster" in sturdiness”
Professional reviewers describe the Instant Pot Vortex Plus 4QT as a powerful yet compact solution that delivers quick, even heating thanks to its 1,500-1,600 W output. They commend its six cooking functions for providing versatility that replaces several kitchen appliances, and they appreciate the touchscreen interface and dishwasher-safe non-stick basket as convenient, quality-of-life features. However, they note the limited 4-quart capacity and single-basket design as drawbacks for larger households, and they point out the lack of induction compatibility as a minor limitation.
Everyday users consistently highlight the appliance's ease of use, compact size, and reliable cooking results, especially for frozen appetizers and single-portion meals. The most common complaints revolve around the small 4-quart capacity, which forces sequential cooking for larger meals or multiple items, and the single-basket design that slows down multi-item preparation.
