What People Say
I lost two of my original bumpers and my basket was starting to scratch; these fit perfectly and saved me from buying a whole new tray.
Super cheap and they do exactly what they are supposed to do. Highly recommended for any Instant Vortex owner.
These arrived quickly and were so easy to pop onto the tray. Now my air fryer doesn't make that awful scraping sound anymore!
Problem & Solution
If you own an Instant Vortex, you know the frustration: after a few washes, those tiny rubber bumpers on the crisping tray start to wear down, fall off, or get lost in the sink. Without them, your metal tray scrapes directly against the non-stick coating of your air fryer basket, leaving behind unsightly scratches and eventually ruining the finish entirely.
These 4PCS silicone bumpers are the perfect, low-cost insurance policy for your kitchen gadget. They slide on in seconds to create a protective barrier between the metal tray and the basket. Not only do they prevent permanent damage to your appliance, but they also keep the tray securely in place, ensuring your food cooks evenly without the tray sliding around while you shake your fries.

This product is designed for busy home cooks and Instant Vortex users who prioritize the longevity of their kitchen appliances. It is perfect for anyone who has lost their original rubber feet during cleaning or is tired of seeing metal-on-metal scratching every time they remove the tray.
It is also a must-have for budget-conscious shoppers looking for an inexpensive way to maintain their equipment without needing to replace an entire expensive air fryer basket.
