Score: 80/100Rankings
The Instant Vortex Plus 4QT offers six versatile cooking functions in a compact, stainless-steel package with dishwasher-safe accessories. Its small capacity and single-basket design limit batch cooking for larger families. Best suited for couples or small households needing a space-saving, multi-function air fryer.
The Ninja Crispi Pro 6-in-1 Glass Air Fryer delivers 1800 W power, six versatile cooking modes, and modular glass containers that can be used for cooking, storing, and serving. Its high electricity demand, bulky size, and fragile glass components are notable trade-offs. Ideal for families and meal-preppers who value large-batch cooking and glass versatility.

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.
Professional reviewers praise the Ninja Crispi Pro for its 1800-watt power, six versatile cooking modes, and innovative modular glass system that doubles as storage, highlighting its non-toxic, heat-resistant glass and safety certifications. However, they caution that the high power draw may require a dedicated circuit, the unit is bulky, and warranty details are inconsistent across listings.
Everyday users commend the appliance for delivering even, fast cooking and the convenience of glass containers that can go from oven to fridge, noting the wide temperature range and easy cleanup. The main frustrations revolve around the high electricity demand that can trip breakers, the large footprint, and some confusion over exact capacity and the fragility of glass compared to metal baskets.

“wide 80-450°F range, easy temp/time adjustments, and dual-container flexibility but notes the need for a dedicated circuit”
