Instant Pot Vortex Plus 6QT ClearCook Air Fryer vs Typhur Dome 2 Air Fryer AF05

The Instant Pot Vortex Plus 6QT ClearCook Air Fryer is a versatile kitchen appliance that offers six different cooking functions in one device. With its clear viewing window and odor-reducing filter, this air fryer makes cooking easier and healthier. The 6-quart capacity allows for cooking large meals, and the multiple functions enable users to air fry, roast, broil, bake, reheat, and dehydrate food with ease.

The Dome 2 takes a different shape from most air fryers. Instead of a deep bucket, it uses a wide, low-profile 5.6-quart basket with a full-width cooking surface that fits a 12-inch pizza, so food spreads out in a single layer rather than stacking. That layout is the whole point: single-layer cooking is what makes air frying brown evenly. It uses dual heating with adjustable fan speeds, exposed through the Typhur app in Air Fry mode on this AF05 revision, plus 15 cooking functions and a self-cleaning cycle. The basket is aluminium alloy coated in a PFAS-free, fluorine-free ceramic non-stick layer, which addresses the coating question that comes up repeatedly with air fryers.
