Vortex air fryer vs Instant Pot Duo Crisp & air fryer, which is better?

It really depends on your preferences. Some people with less kitchen space prefer an all-in-one product as they like cooking everything in one pot. For example, for a roast chicken, you would start it with the pressure cooker lid, then finish it off with the Air Fryer lid, leaving you with a juicy, succulent inside and crispy roast outside.

Others prefer having two appliances so they can cook more than one thing at a time. The Vortex has a unique square-shaped drawer offering optimum cooking space with a large flat area within the draw. The Vortex Dual has two 3.8L baskets, and the Vortex oven has a large 9.5L capacity. This differentiates the Vortex range from other brands with limiting air fryer baskets.

What’s the difference between the Instant Pot Duo Plus and Duo Crisp?

Duo Plus is a pressure cooker only.  It combines a rice cooker, slow cooker, yoghurt maker, steamer, sauté pan, food warmer, stock pot; plus, with additional programs, it’s also a cake maker, egg cooker, steriliser, and sous vide.
 
The Duo Crisp & Air Fryer is both a pressure cooker and air fryer.  It offers six wet cooking functions: pressure cook, sauté, steam, slow cook, sous vide and warm. The Air Fryer lid offers five crisp cooking functions: use it to quickly air fry, roast, bake, broil (grill) and dehydrate.
