    Damn that's a lot of functions. If only I didn't already have 3 air fryers and 4 pressure cookers!

      Party at @Bdawg's house - who's bringing the KB's and the Quilton?

      I think someone has a bottle of special-use-by-date soya sauce somewhere…

    Omg does everything you can think of. Does anyone care to elaborate more about the pros and cons?

    • undercut on 29/09/2023 - 10:36

      One pro is the stainless steel bowl (vs. the usual ceramic coated which tends to peel after awhile). Dishwasher safe too.

      I have the Pro Version of this combination. If I didn't have that I would be, seriously, considering this.

      Pro
      It is really quick for cooking lamb shanks, stews, soups etc.
      The all in one means you can saute onions etc before you do the pressure cooking
      It is pretty much set and forget. You don't need to worry about monitoring it on the stove.
      It is good for sterlising jars and bottles for relishes etc.

      Cons
      It is big to store and you also have to have a spot for the air fryer lid
      It is a relatively small air fryer capability.
      If you do curries you can get an issue with the smell staying in the sealing ring.

        agree with this. The con of the air-frying capability made it not worth it for us. We ended up selling it and buying a duo instant pot and airfyer.

      • ArgentLynx on 29/09/2023 - 12:21

        I've been chucking the sealing ring in the dishwasher after every use and it seems to come out alright, despite me making some pretty noxious curries

        • BargainBogan99 on 29/09/2023 - 19:49

          I had issue with the sealing ring stretching out of whack from the dishwasher :(

        That’s why they come with two seal rings

      • Bdawg on 29/09/2023 - 13:41

        How do you sterilise jars in it, do you put water in?

        • try2bhelpful on 29/09/2023 - 14:12
          +1

          You put a bit of water in the bottom, stand the jars on the trivet and pressure cook them.

      • PAEz on 29/09/2023 - 23:10

        Sticking the sealing ring in the oven gets rid of the smell completely.

    • EBC on 29/09/2023 - 11:37

      I have an older version and the pros have been stated by others, it really is handy to be able to do so much in one pot. Even with the small capacity on the air fryer, I find it great. Fantastic way to reheat things without having to heat the whole oven.

      One con is I am pretty sure that every air fryer setting does the exact same thing. Bake, broil, airfry, roast. You set a temperature for each (and it remembers these temperatures between sessions) but the fan turns on just as aggressively on all settings. If you have anything light in the airfryer it will absolutely be blown around. I have also made chocolate chip cookies in mine on a circular non-stick pan and they get blown into the rim of the pan. The only reason I use any setting but airfry is because it has remembered a lower temperature for that setting whereas I keep airfry at the max temperature.

    • FeZZa21 on 29/09/2023 - 13:07

      it doesn't give you 30T storage though

  • TooSerious2 on 29/09/2023 - 10:50

    Great price. We use ours more than once a week. Curry, bolognaise, mexican, stew, air fried snacks. Bought for $160.

    Sear meat, brown aromatics, add veg and liquid, slow cook. Run out of time? Give it some pressure magic. True one pot meals. And you can scrub the pot.

    It could be bigger as an air fryer. But wedges in the bottom and frozen junk food on top will feed 4 kids.

    Instant Pot AUS/NZ made a huge mistake not making the air fryer lid a separate compatible accessory like they did in the US. I already had an IP before this came out and was told I'd need to buy a whole new unit just to have the air fryer lid. No thanks.

    • MakkhiChoos on 29/09/2023 - 13:16

      You want others to suffer just because you did?

    • Adamantine on 29/09/2023 - 16:39

      I wouldn't go to the extreme of calling it suffering lol. At the time they released this product, I was hoping that Instant Pot would make a smart business move and not alienate a large portion of their already established AU/NZ customer base that already had an IP and had been asking for the Air Fryer lid for 18+ months.

      I still use my IP, it's a good product. Just would have been nice to not have to buy a separate gadget for air frying.

    • ashtdp on 29/09/2023 - 19:14

      The airfryer lid you’re talking about is seperate product line. That comes with it’s own power cord and all the Airfryer buttons on the lid, so you can use it on existing compatible InstaPot cookers.

      The one in the post is a seperate line of product that comes with all AirFryer buttons/functions built into main unit and the Airfryer lid attaches to main unit with a multi pin connector for power supply.

      So they chose only one line of product to AU/NZ market probably based on the assement of how many units they have ever sold in this region that would be compatible to AirFryer lid. USA had been far bigger customer base for them for many years and it makes economical sense to introduce the seperate line of compatible lid to their market.

    Got one from amazon and sent it back they are crap. Basket is a pain to get out when air frying as it has no handle like a draw one. Could never make chips right in it but that could have been me.

    • OhNoUShiz on 29/09/2023 - 11:47

      And you can only use either air fry or pressure cooker at any time…

        What were you expecting to do? Pressure cook some soup why also air-frying chips at the same time? in the same device? in the same room? in this climate?

          Thats why it is a dumb design just like your comment.

  • nzcoops on 29/09/2023 - 12:03

    Can people elaborate on the "small airfryer" capacity? It says 8L and most I'm seeing at Target/Kmart are equal or smaller? Or you have to go two drawer (side by side) to get over 8?

    • sbcbakedbeans on 29/09/2023 - 12:19
      +2

      I believe 8L is the capacity of the stainless steel insert where you do the pressure cooking.

      To air fry you put a smaller basket inside of the stainless steel insert, which also has a little removable tray to give you two levels to put food on to air fry. I would estimate the volume of this smaller basket to be 1/3 of the stainless steel insert.

      I suppose you could probably air fry without the basket, but you wouldn't have proper circulation around the food.

      • nzcoops on 29/09/2023 - 12:27

        Thanks team. Makes sense with the insert thingo. Did look in the site to see if they mentioned different capacities with the different inserts but info was pretty lite on.

        • sbcbakedbeans on 29/09/2023 - 13:07
          +1

          I have the 5.7L version and the basket fits enough for 2 adults in my experience, but obviously totally depends on your habits and needs.

          As @EBC mentioned, the top section cooks faster than the bottom one when using the tray, so if you're cooking two different things that isn't a problem, but if it's all one thing can be a pain.

    • EBC on 29/09/2023 - 12:23
      +2

      As I understand it, it is less about the volume and more about the surface area when it comes to air frying because you can't really put 8L (or even 6L if you just fill the basket) of chicken tendies in and expect them to come out crispy. If you are laying them flat in this air fryer, you are getting maybe 6 tendies in there. If you use the extra shelf you might double that but the top 6 will cook much faster than the lower 6.

    I've had an Instant pot and an Instant airfryer. Both were ok for around a year but then started to fall to pieces, maybe I was unlucky but I wouldn't buy again. A shame really as this unit sounds appealing.

    • try2bhelpful on 29/09/2023 - 14:16

      I handwash all the bits of this and don’t have an issue. Do you wash yours in the dishwasher?

      • Willyeckerslike on 29/09/2023 - 14:29

        We did with the Instant pot lid and pot. The lid pressure release broke. Not the Instant Vortex Air fryer, this was handwashed. The little drip tray was really flimsy and felt cheap. They also used the Philips previously and that lasted 6 to 7 years and was cleaned in the dishwasher. I returned to a Philips Air fryer and bought a Breville fast slow pro. Both come with a bigger price tag but are better quality in my opinion.

        • try2bhelpful on 29/09/2023 - 16:03

          If you use an air fryer a lot then the Philips is, definitely, the way to go. Interestingly enough I went from the Breville Fast Slow Pro to the InstantPot. I did like the programming with the Breville but I had the lid not sealing issue, I hated the always attached lid when you are cooking and I preferred the stainless steel pot of the InstantPot. Did you contact InstantPot support and ask for a new lid?

          • Willyeckerslike on 29/09/2023 - 17:28

            @try2bhelpful: Yes I did, they said I'd have to buy a new lid but there were non in stock and no lead time available, so went for the Breville. It is good with the programming compared to the instant pot and the lid is a bit of a pain but you get used to it. Non stick doesn't really bother me much, we use silicone utensils and so get so good.
            The airfryer is used daily and the pressure cooker weekly.

  • FuRyZ on 29/09/2023 - 14:12

    Great find thanks. We've had a Instant Pot Duo Nova for a while. Been pretty happy. That is cheape enough that I might seriously consider the upgrade to the combo air fryer at that price.

    Best air fryer and pressure cooker ever!

  • try2bhelpful on 29/09/2023 - 14:22

    We mainly use the air fryer for bits of fish etc. it works well for snacks. I don’t think it replaces the Philips ones but it allows us to do a few things without feeling guilty about heating up a big oven. If you do a lot of air frying this may not be for you. It suits our needs well.

  • Stability on 29/09/2023 - 14:24

    Whats the difference between this and the Duo Crisp? Looks exactly the same?

  • tunzafun001 on 29/09/2023 - 21:21

    Any comparisons to the Ninja version of this?

  • hoverboardrider on 02/10/2023 - 15:51

    We have the Ninja Foodi Smartlid, bought it from BigW for $380. It's really great, don't have to change lids as you can switch between all 14 functions really easily, it's super convenient and easy to use and we cook everything in it and don't use the oven anymore although we do sometimes use the Ninja in conjunction with our airfryer. We've had the Ninja for about a month and use it 4 or 5 times a week. We've use pressure cooker, steam/air fry, steam cook, saute, airfry, slow cook and dehydrate functions mostly. The first thing we cooked was a steam/air fry whole lemon chicken with leek and potatoes and it was delicious, chicken was crispy skinned and meat still moist not dried out, to cook this took about 6 or 7 minutes to pre-heat and 20 minutes of cooking time, we dead set were amazed, and we didn't open the lid until it was done. We've done spag bol in under 10 minutes of cooking time, same deal don't open the lid, just mix everything up at the end. No mess either, just wash out the pan and wash the rack or airfryer bowl, dead simple. The Ninja is awesome and if you read the pros and cons online like we did you may want to pay a bit extra for the Ninja because it is really easy to use and just works. The reason the Ninja is taking the market share of the others is because it's just better, especially when you can do full meals in one pot and keep the veges rice and meat separated and never have to swap lids like other machines like the instant pot. If you get the Ninja, I don't think you'll regret. it. We don't, and we are surprised how good it is, and we've cooked roasts, chips, one pot meals, soups, spag bol etc.
