Amazon Prime Day is next week (June 23-26), and we're already seeing some fantastic early deals — and if you haven't yet discovered the joys of air-frying, or you're an air fryer fan who's looking to upgrade, I found a great deal on the air fryer I rely on every day.

We gave the Instant Vortex Plus 4.5 stars when we reviewed it, and it's been my reliable cooking companion for the last two years. As far as air fryers go, this model would usually sit on the pricier side, but thanks to Amazon's early Prime Day sales it's now $69.99 (was $149.99) — knocking off 58%, and saving you $80.
Over the last two years, the Instant Vortex Plus has been my absolute best friend in the kitchen.
As far as its cooking abilities go, its six presets (Air Fry, Broil, Dehydrate, Crisp, Roast, Reheat, and Bake) open the doors for you to whip up an endless roster of meals. No fiddling around with the temperature and timer settings — just tap a button and it does it for you.
It's a six-quart air fryer, so it can fit a fair amount of food. I own the slightly smaller version of this model, and one of my favorite things to cook are chicken thighs, and I've been able to fit up to six at a time and it still produces crispy yet succulent results every time. And to add to that, you really don't need a lot of oil for it to work its magic, making it a reliably healthy option.
As I've mentioned, I own the smaller version of the Vortex and I can already fit a decent amount of food in its basket. But its larger sibling has even room, so you can fit in enough food for the whole family. It does take up some space on the countertop, but serves as a solid cooking appliance if you've got the room.
