Clear windows, full baskets, can't lose. (Amazon)(Amazon)
Psst: Super Bowl Sunday is less than a week away — do you have a "game" plan yet? After all, it's not a party without plenty of food, and if you want to prep those wings and fried snacks with as little trouble (and grease) as possible, we've got just the thing. Air fryers are nothing new, but the Instant Pot Vortex Plus Dual Basket Air Fryer isn't your average appliance. True to its name, it has two drawers for cooking multiple things simultaneously, saving you lots of time. Speaking of saving, it's also on sale for $70 off — and it'll arrive in time for the big game if you order soon.
Scuzzed-up bathroom? Grimy tiles? Never fear, the Khelfer is here.
'Tis the season for frigid feet — unless you have this No. 1 bestselling space heater at the ready. Small, yet mighty, this toasty appliance can warm up to 200 square feet of space in mere seconds, has two heat levels and even doubles as a fan come summer! Get it for 45% off.
You know what they say — you snooze, you lose! Don't let this dreamy discount disappear into the night.
This top-selling booklet contains instructions for cooking over 120 types of foods in your air fryer. Stick it right on the fridge thanks to the magnet on the back.
One five-star fan, who called it a "godsend," wrote: "Nothing worse than overcooking meat or fish because you guessed wrong on the timing and/or heat settings. I've referred to this for several things now and every time, the food came out restaurant-perfect!"
A+ crunch factor with little to no oil? We're treating every night like Fry-day.
At over 30% off, this markdown brings the price to about as low as it's been since the holidays. And since it's got multiple baskets, it's almost like getting two appliances in one. For comparison, this similar Ninja model costs over $20 more on sale.
Even if you're not a football fan, we can all agree that getting dinner on the table in less time is a good thing. And while most air fryers heat up more quickly than full-size ovens, the Instant Pot Vortex Plus takes things a step further with its two-sided design. Because each basket can be programmed individually, you'll no longer have to cook your protein first and your vegetables second — they can go in at the same time. There's also a SyncCook setting, which lets you program both baskets with the same specifications; this comes in handy if you want to cook multiple batches of the same food at once.
Another nifty feature? The ClearCook windows, which, along with an interior oven light, allow you to keep an eye on your grub. In fact, this was one of the traits Yahoo Home and Garden Writer Kristin Granero called out in her roundup of the best air fryers: "All of its functions — from air frying to roasting — worked and worked well. We also appreciated the clear basket panels for watching our food come along."
Other perks include one-touch smart programs for air-frying, roasting, baking, reheating, broiling and dehydrating, as well as overheat protection and auto-shutoff safety features. As far as cleaning is concerned? The baskets and trays can be popped into the dishwasher, but they're also a breeze to wipe by hand.
More than 1,900 Amazon customers have given this model a perfect five-star rating.
"Amateur home chef here," wrote one newbie. "I am really kicking myself for not jumping on the air fryer train until now. ... This thing is life-changing and I never even take it off of the counter … that’s how much we use it. It makes leftovers taste amazing, especially those fried foods we take home from the restaurant. They fry up just like new again. We have saved quite a bit of food from going into the bin. I don’t have to heat up the whole house, and I can cook two different things beautifully on both sides at different temperatures."
"This air fryer has lived up to every one of my expectations," shared another. "I have air-fried, baked, roasted and reheated food, and the results were better than I'd expected, especially since I was only guessing at the temperature or time needed. Cleaning the two individual compartments is easy and I have noticed very little, if any, grease or debris at the heating elements or fans."
"Being able to see what I'm cooking with the little window and the light button has been a game-changer!" exclaimed a third. "This thing is simple to use, the drawers are huge and cooks amazingly! I looked at soo many other air fryers and kept coming back to this one. I'm so glad I bought this one!"
"I work in food and cook a lot at home, so I’ve tried my fair share of kitchen tools and equipment," said a generally pleased buyer. "This is quickly becoming my go-to! Powerful and large enough to feed a large family." Their one note? "I wish it came in stainless steel."
"With items like chicken wings, having both baskets makes it cook faster because if you pile too many in, they don't crisp well," explained a final fan. "Love that I don't have to overheat my apartment with the oven in [the] summer, plus it comes to temp faster than the oven so I can get food started faster." They did add, "[It] takes a good bit of counter space, but to me, it is worth it — we use it A LOT."
