Instant Omni Plus Air Fryer Toaster Oven
A strong competitor to Breville at a lower price point. Does the Instant Omni deliver?
High-Capacity Oven Frying
Following the massive success of the Instant Pot, the brand expanded into the oven-style air fryer market with the Omni Plus. Like the Breville, it aims to replace your toaster, oven, and air fryer with one massive stainless steel appliance, but at a more accessible price.
The Omni Plus is huge. It can easily fit a 12-inch pizza or roast an entire chicken using the included rotisserie spit. The rotisserie feature is a massive advantage over basket fryers, allowing you to achieve perfectly even browning on whole birds.
Performance and Interface
The digital interface is clean and intuitive, utilizing dials and buttons to navigate through 14 smart programs. In air fryer mode, the convection fan is incredibly powerful—so powerful, in fact, that you have to be careful when cooking lightweight items like kale chips, as they will blow around the interior.
- Pros: Includes a rotisserie spit, massive interior capacity, very powerful convection fan, cheaper than luxury competitors.
- Cons: The exterior gets very hot during use, takes up a massive amount of counter space, the fan is quite loud.
- Best For: Large families who want to rotisserie whole chickens and air fry massive batches of food.
Cleaning the interior can be a chore, especially if grease splatters onto the heating elements. However, the sheer volume of food you can process at once makes it incredibly convenient for family dinners.
Final Verdict
The Instant Omni Plus offers fantastic versatility and the highly coveted rotisserie feature at a reasonable price, making it a top contender in the oven-style category.
