Pros & cons

Pros

  • Broil and dehydrate modes add range beyond the usual air-fry, roast, reheat, and bake set
  • The dehydrate mode is a real draw if you batch-dry fruit or make jerky

Cons

  • The dial-and-button interface feels dated next to touchscreen competitors
  • At 6 quarts, it's a sizable unit that claims real counter space

Skip it if

Skip it if you want a modern touchscreen, or your counter is short on room — the interface feels dated and, at 6 quarts, the unit is sizable.

How we assessed it

We synthesized this

Where a basic air fryer just air-fries, roasts, reheats, and bakes, the Vortex Plus adds broil and dehydrate — and those two extra modes are the reason to choose it. Broil crisps and browns the top of a dish, while dehydrate lets you batch-dry apple slices, herbs, or homemade jerky low and slow, a job most air fryers can't touch. At 6 quarts it holds enough for a family, and the dial-and-button controls are simple to learn. It's a versatile pick for a cook who wants more than the standard four modes.

The trade-offs are fair to name. That dial-and-button interface feels dated next to touchscreen rivals, and at 6 quarts it's a sizable unit that claims real counter space. Our read is synthesized from documented specs and reputation, not a hands-on cooking test — see how we test.
