Their first Instant Pot 10 qt 7-in-1 rotisserie air fryer ran daily for seven years before its electronics died; the replacement's build quality is noticeably worse, so it will be their last.

Their four-year-old Vortex Plus 10qt has a fading LCD that is almost unusable, though they find the oven itself great.
Bought the Vortex Plus 10 qt in 2019 and found it a good one, but it is now showing odd display numbers and was often too small for a family of four, so they are replacing it.
Loves the Vortex Plus so much they have bought it twice despite the display failing both times, relying on cheap insurance for a replacement.
Great for everything until the door hinges went, after which the control panel barely works.
Likes their Vortex but it began acting up not long after purchase, adding time and switching from F to C on its own.
Mixed feelings: early units had a button fault and two RMAs, the fourth works well. Likes it for potatoes, roast chicken pieces, nuggets and bacon with little preheat, but dislikes the 400 F limit and awkward rotisserie basket.
