I was able to get a hold of the new Instant Pot Vortex Plus Airfryer. It has a 10 QT capacity and tons of great features…so they say. If you would like a first look at it, watch my video.
It’s only in select Walmarts as of now. I found it by going on the Walmart app, searching for Instant pot vortex plus, and then changing site locations until I found one that carried it or could ship it.
Good morning, Lana. Just read you first cooking review and decided for the first time in my life to watch your opening video you’re(truly-first time, ‘cuz I have NEVER watched on purpose ANY info video other than what comes across on FB.. I enjoyed it btw. 😊). had already ordered the air cooker – due to arrive on the 12th – and now I am more excited about its coming than ever. I’ve been cooking for more than 60 years and converted to the IP a scant few months ago. It’s not my go to for everything, but does cover a multitude of sins. Tried a couple of different air fryers over the years but was underwhelmed. So when I saw the double rack/rotisserie features of the Vortex, coupled with the ‘good’ I’ve found in IP my interest was peaked for sure. I have shared your Manhattan driving experience and think you are eligible for sainthood for your endeavor to get the Vortex early on. I don’t live in in NY but my city is clearly big enough, and my tolerance is is clearly low enough to know that the time waiting for delivery far exceeds energy expended fighting my way thru. 😊😂
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. You really made my day and even made it completely worth driving through Manhattan, lol. I bought an air fryer a few years ago. I hated the whole basket thing and I ended up drying out everything I put in it so I returned it (bless Bed Bath and Beyond’s return policy). But I am doing Weight Watchers now and when this came out I thought I would give it another try. So far I am really enjoying it. I posted a review this morning where I talk about cleaning, the accessories, and my voyage into airfrying bacon (spoiler…it came out really really good.) Thank you again and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it when you get yours.
Do you know if the entire Vortex is coated with Teflon or just the trays? Teflon is a deal-breaker for me unless I can just replace the trays. Thank you for any info. you can provide!
I just watched both of your videos on the Instant vortex plus. Thank for showing me how to remove the door. Also, the idea for the hot dogs! Have you tried air popcorn in the basket?
Thank you so much. I’m so glad you found it helpful. I haven’t tried popcorn but I’m wondering if it would fall through the holes. I have done popcorn in the IP though.

Can’t wait to find out how it all works! This is a much better deal than the Cuisinart all in one!

I’m not sure if the inside of the housing is coated or not. IP is usually good with getting back to your questions if you email them.
