Word of warning: I read through the manual when I first got mine & on page 3 it explicitly says:
"11. Never deep fry or pressure fry in the unit with oil. It is dangerous and may cause a fire or serious damage"

Kind of the same deal with pressure canning...you can do water bath canning (hot water canning) in the IP, but you can't pressure-can in it (pressure cook yes, pressure can no). What you might be interested in is a Kickstarter project from GE called the Paragon Induction Cooktop:

Not cheap at $300, but it takes a different approach than the Instant Pot by using a combination of a portable precision induction cooktop base along with a wireless temperature sensor. Rather than pressure-cooking, it competes with stuff like the Anova sous video machine, but can also do stuff like sear a steak (because it's a cooktop), deep fry (because it's a cooktop, and more specifically, because it has a temperature probe that you slap on the side of your pot for accurate readings), temper chocolate, etc. So you can do sous vide, candymaking, deep frying, searing, all kinds of stuff. It's not pressure frying by any means, but it provides more accurate temperature control so that you can get better results. Don't know if it's worth the extra money over just a regular pot & $20 temperature probe tho!
I've looked into pressure fryers before...aside from machines like the $1,000 Henny Penny machine on Amazon, the only reasonable one I've found is the $162 Kuhn Rikon pressure frying pan: (not sure how this would compare to say the KFC models)

I ended up getting a Philips Air Fryer instead (having an actual deep frying machine in my house is too dangerous to my health lol). It's okay; it tends to dry stuff out pretty easily & not really get things that crispy, I wish I had just gotten a larger toaster oven instead, one with a convection feature. It was really expensive & has a really small cooking area, even on the XL version. There are a variety of alternatives that use halogen bulbs, infrared, and other methods of cooking that seem to be equally as good for a lot less money (like the ones from Vonshef, Big Boss, etc.). Anyway, just some other options to look at. I don't know of any cost-effective electronic pressure fryers tho. Probably too dangerous & too high of a liability to make as a cheap appliance lol.
