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.
“very quiet”
Professional reviewers praise the Cosori Pro LE for its even cooking, quiet Air Whisper® operation, high 450°F heat, and modern angled glass display. They note the intuitive 9-preset interface and shake reminders as strengths, while criticizing the absence of automatic preheat and the need for rear clearance, which can limit placement.
Everyday users love the quiet performance, easy-to-use presets, and compact size that fits small kitchens. Common praise centers on consistent crisping and the convenience of dishwasher-safe parts. Recurring complaints focus on the manual preheat step, the requirement for rear airflow clearance, and the need to batch-cook for larger meals.
