Lately, the trendiest gadget to have on your kitchen countertop is an air fryer. And, like most, we are fans of all things Instant Pot. So, when the fan-favorite brand debuted an air fryer last year, we were excited. As the name says, this 9-in-1 appliance is lot more than just an air fryer. In line with the versatile Instant Pot, this all-in-one gadget broils, bakes, roasts, reheats, dehydrates and, yes, air fries.

Right now, the newest member of the Instant Vortex family is 50% off on Amazon. The Instant Vortex Pro normally retails for $280, but you can get it for $139.99 with free shipping and returns. This model is an upgrade from the 7-in-1 Instant Vortex Plus, since it has two additional options: toast and proof. If you want to experiment with baking your own bread, start doing it in this air fryer.

As with the original Instant Vortex, which was our favorite air fryer in testing, we love the sleek design and user-friendly display. The touchscreen is modern and intuitive, and displays 14 simple touch controls, the built-in Smart Programs, as well as the option to customize cooking time and temperature.

This high-capacity model is perfect whether you're cooking a family dinner (hello, leftovers!), meal prepping salmon for a week of lunches, or even roasting a whole chicken — just use the included rotisserie spit. There's also a rotisserie basket that attaches to the spit, which is great for ensuring crisp French fries, chicken wings, veggies and so much more. This fryer also comes with a drip tray and two air fry trays, which can be used for everything from toasting homemade bread to roasting fingerling potatoes.

The company claims the main cooking chamber heats up quickly and requires minimal oil, so you don't have to worry about making a mess. Plus, the accessories and oven door are dishwasher-safe, and the Vortex Pro's exterior is fingerprint-resistant.
