Super Disappointed
By Tobi on Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2024
I love the instant pot brand. I have the original Instant Pot and also owned the Instant Pot vortex plus and love both. When I moved to a smaller apartment, I jumped at buying the Instant Pot Vortex Slim XL 6QT since I don't have the counter space for my older model. First: I did encounter the burnt plastic smell that several people mentioned. I ran the rest run, per the instructions in the manual. Then also ran it twice more with vinegar water. After about 5 more uses the plastic smell decreased and never impacted the food. Second: It is much quieter than my previous model when running. Third : I noticed pretty immediately the the vortex slim wasn't as effective as my older model. With the original Instant Pot Vortex Model, I had to be very careful with the temperature and timing. I rarely could go over 350 degrees Fahrenheit or food would burn and most of my go-to foods would cook in 10 minutes or less. With this model, I had to set it to 400 degrees and even after 20 minutes sometimes my meat isn't finished. I even tested it with regular frozen French fries and was unable to get them crispy. I tested it with an oven thermometer and it isn't even getting to 350 degrees at its highest setting. I am very disappointed in this model. Not sure if they reduced the temperature to make it compact, but isn't performing to the standards I expect for this brand.
