CONCLUSION

PROS

Instant Vortex Pro Air Fryer
Ninja AG301 Foodi Air Fryer
Yes

It has two cooking trays that can be used on three levels, and it looks a lot hotter/faster on the top level than on the bottom. The air fryer does not get dangerously hot like an oven. You can accidentally touch the top of the fryer and not burn your handoff. The vent in the back is also warm but not blazing hot. As long as the safety instructions are followed, this machine feels very safe to use. The rotary controls for time and temperature are efficient and allow you to make precise adjustments to these parameters instead of punching up/down buttons. The square basket holds more food than most typically round models with the same volume specification. Airflow is excellent and hot spots are minimized. An interlock switch allows the cooking basket to be removed easily to check progress and to redistribute/stir the food for more uniform cooking. Reinsertion of the basket allows cooking to resume without loss of settings.

Yes

It’s a very well-designed and engineered indoor grill with the added benefits of the air frying that I love so much along with baking/roasting functions and dehydration. Powerful and effective at air frying and leaving grill marks. Super-hot high-density grill grate gives you char-grilled marks and flavors. Uses 500°F cyclonic air to perfectly cook or char-grill your food to your desired doneness on the grill grate for delicious, char-grilled marks and flavors. Bring the outdoor grilling experience to your kitchen. With the BTU cooking power of an outdoor grill, it brings outdoor grill flavors conveniently to your countertop any day of the year. Easy to clean. The PTFE/PFOA-free, nonstick ceramic-coated grill grate, crisper basket, and cooking pot are dishwasher safe. This countertop grill is wonderful! You can grill anything from steaks, chicken, hamburgers, and sausage. Easy to use. The digital control panel makes it easy to select your cooking function and adjust time and temperature so you can grill with confidence. Virtually Smoke-Free The combination of the temperature-controlled grill grate, splatter shield, and cool-air zone reduces smoke and keeps it out of your kitchen. 500 Degree Cyclonic Air Rapid cyclonic air moves all around your food for Surround Searing, which gives you even browning and delicious charring without burning.

CONS

Instant Vortex Pro Air Fryer
Ninja AG301 Foodi Air Fryer
Yes

When using air fryer mode, at around 3 quarters’ time, the fryer will ask you to turn over your food. This was also not very clear in the instructions. The basket is SMALL and not ideal for party-size servings. Six quarts are good for a couple, but anyone with a big family is going to find them running multiple batches to get enough food cooked. If you're planning a big super bowl wing fest, you might want to get something bigger. The basket/rack at the bottom is not secure and makes taking out food more difficult than it has to be. You cannot simply turn the basket over to get your food out on a plate because if you do that, everything (food, bottom basket, grease) comes spilling out and crashing to the floor. A lot of reviews people complain about a toxic chemical/plastic/rubber smell that does not go away. The owner’s manual mentions that this may occur but is non-toxic

Yes

Big, heavy, and needs lots of space to store away. Pricey for a grill marker but remember it can do more than just grill.
