What it is, and who it might fit
Vortex Plus 4QT is a single-basket air fryer in Instant Pot's documented US range. Its advertised capacity is 4 US quarts.
An undivided basket suits food that benefits from one shared cooking surface. Larger advertised volume does not establish how many portions will lie flat.
The product description says four functions, while its Features list names six. We list the six named in Features; check the manual before relying on a specific mode. The linked US manual asks for at least 5 inches above and around all sides; how far the drawer opens is not quantified.
What to check before buying
The stated exterior width is 10.1 inches. Allow additional space specified by the manual and room to open the appliance.
Usable single-layer food area is unknown. Exact accessory compatibility and release dates are not inferred from this model's name. These limitations matter more than a decorative score.
