COSORI (CP158-AF) Air Fryer Reviews

I have used this air fryer only 6 times and now the Temp/Time button will not work. Half of the time the preset buttons will not work. Don’t waste your money.

This new Cosori is the same great performing air fryer as the old version. I notice that now there is a silicone bumper that the end of the inner basket rests on instead of flopping around. Problem is this part must have popped out duing cleaning. The outer basket now has a hole which is slightly elevated but will leak cooking juices in use, especially when shaking food up! THey should have made the bumper a part of the inner basket and now the outer basket which now leaks and poses a hazard. Otherwise this air fryer is really the best. Trying to get a hold of Cosori customer support to see if a replacement silicone bumper can be obtained. Update:. Cosori customer support is excellent! Should be getting the missing part soon. Be careful not to lose this part!!!

I want to clarify that this equipment will be used commercially and not domestic ... the life time should be shorter than normal. Before buying, I read hundreds or maybe thousands of reviews of the best-selling equipment on the market, comparing power, INTERNAL SIZE, functionality, durability, PRICE. Rated power: 1700w (high on average) Capacity: 5.8 qt / 5.5L. (high on average) Price: $ 119.99. Good price compared to equipment with similar characteristics. Easy to use, easy to wash, light to transport or move. I have a Philips brand air fryer I bought it in 2016 and it still works like new, but I needed another one and the truth is, I was looking for a more economical and larger internally, if it lasts or yields enough I will buy more of this equipment for my business. IMPORTANT TO KNOW: THE MOST COMMON NEGATIVE REVIEWS IS THAT SMELL LIKE PLASTIC, FLAVOR LIKE PLASTIC, UNPLEASANT FLAVOR. HOW TO ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM: STEP 1 BE ENCOURAGED STEP 2 BEFORE USING WITH FOOD FOR THE FIRST TIME, WASH THE EQUIPMENT THOROUGHLY STEP 3 IN MY CASE I DID PREHEATING 10 TIMES, IN THAT TIME THE KITCHEN HAD A VERY STRONG PLASTIC ODOR AND IT WAS DISAPPEARING STEP 4 WASH AGAIN STEP 5 2 TIMES MORE PRE HEATING STEP 6 USE WITHOUT PROBLEM.

Sooo I’ve been using my Cosori Air Fryer about two months now. One day I was using it to cook up a few turkey burgers for the kids and out of nowhere, and in the middle of cooking, the basket released itself from the fryer, slid out onto the countertop and since I have granite countertops, it kept sliding right off that surface and crashed to the floor. Very random! I was thinking I’d done something wrong. This device has to be perfect right? I mean it wasn’t exactly cheap. I’d done my homework and got one of the top rated. Maybe I didn’t lock it into place all the way. So from that point, I’d made it my business to be sure to push it in all the way until I felt it lock. All was all good for about 3 weeks and then this afternoon, I was making lunch for me and hubby. I’d put in two Burgers and was preparing us a salad when 5 minutes into the cooking process, I heard the fan stop and I turned around quickly but I was too late, the basket popped out, slid onto the countertop and then crashed to the floor. But this time, hot splatter popped onto my foot and leg...OUCH! I wasn’t badly injured but I’m baffled!!! Literally baffled! This is obviously a flaw in the design that can be potentially dangerous. Imagine if my kid was in there??? Realistically, I love this fryer! I love the design, I love ease of use and ease of cleaning and I love the way the food tastes when it comes out. But that right there, that’s BAD! One other issue...there are about 5 small screws inside that loosen on their own so I find myself tightening them at least twice a week. And lastly, don’t ever and I mean EVER hit the button that releases the basket from the tray unless you are holding it over a countertop or something. I made that mistake and the entire tray dropped out and fell on my foot. It wasn’t hot but it hurt like hell!!! Update: I contacted Cosori directly after my blackened mahi ended up all over my kitchen floor. They need to be aware of this problem. At first I was quite offended that one of the reps told me, “We will look into this issue immediately. Meanwhile, take a moment to read your Cosori Air Fryer manual!” What???!!! So you mean to tell me there is a portion of the manual that mentions this malfunction??? Because I already read the manual and it was never mentioned! Anywho....they handled the situation for me and offered to replace my current air fryer and asked me to ship them the old one so that they could investigate this. So I’m feeling that this may not be a common problem as I’ve only found a few videos of people complaining about this same malfunction (which apparently becomes progressively worse). So as of today, a new fryer has been sent and is on the way. Hoping I don’t have these problems again.

Love my new Cosori Air Fryer. My friends have been waiting for me to buy an air fryer because they know I research everything before my purchase. So now three of my friends are going to buy the new Cosori air fryer. I have celiac disease and I am not able to eat french fries at a restaurant. I did not want to get a deep fat fryer so this is a great alternative for me. The french fries were crispy and delicious. I also made a toasted ham and cheese sandwich and a Tuna melt with gluten free bread and they were delicious. I also made breaded halibut, it was so good. I am anxious to try fried chicken which I haven’t had in 5 years. I am so thankful for this healthier alternative. I have seen reviews on air fryers that are noisy and have bad plastic odor. The Cosori is quiet and has no bad odors. I have recommended the Cosori to all my friends.

After a lot of research, I bought the Cosori air fryer. It performs beautifully and it has become one of our most used cooking devices. It's now my most fun thing to cook with! I am especially appreciative that I ordered the less expensive model that has the manual dials for heat and time. I suspected this simpler design would allow more control - allowing me to adjust time and temperature on the fly - which has allowed more flexibility and accuracy in getting it right. The digital model is more expensive and "fixes" your heat settings by push button, based on what you are cooking. The thing I have discovered is that different products of the same category have different sizes and densities, so cooking lengths and temperatures have to vary. With this model, you can pull out the generous-sized pan, check for progress and re-adjust heat and time as necessary - like you would do on any good stove burner. We use this constantly - even to re-heat leftovers, because microwave reheating makes many foods mushy. I have been surprised at the creativity this air fryer invites. Cleaning the non-stick, rugged, rack/pan combination is very easy. After many uses, it shows no signs of wear on the surfaces and I simply add dish soap and hot water into the connected combination, shake it side to side, and rinse thoroughly. Rarely does it need a brush or sponge on it. I have only one gripe, but the product is so amazing, I cannot see removing a star. There are 3 tiny, stainless steel screws that hold the handle assembly to the inner basket. These tend to gradually work themselves out. After much use over the short time we have had this, I am missing one screw. I highly recommend this for purchase, but upon receiving yours, it would be worth taking a small Phillips head screwdriver and tightening these screws. I am hoping the seller will read this review and replace the missing screw. Further, if they change their manufacturing process by adding lock-washers behind the screws, I'll remove this section of my review. Air fryers are an amazing and fun innovation to a home cook's inventory of cooking options. There is a lot of competition among manufacturers, with much variability in quality, as many reviewers on this site will attest. I'm glad I choose this flexible, rugged and easily cleanable model, with it's large cooking area. I am not affiliated with the manufacturer and receive no rewards for this review, which is only biased by my experience with it's positive performance.

It is my first air fryer and I love it! I have a huge oven at home, and I wonder if I need an air fryer. Until I received and used it, I found they were completely different. Air fryers give you a better taste. The recipe for the air fryer also works well. I fry the wings according to the recipe, which is really delicious and healthy.

I loooovvveeee this air fryer! I'm writing this review after I used it. I made onion rings and Korean honey butter wings. SOOO GOOD! Crispy outside and juicy inside! I can literally cook anything in it. I’m going to try something sweet next time, lol. It’s also easy to clean, non-stick martial. Buy it! I would recommend it 100%!

I currently own a 3.7 qt digital airfryer and a 2 qt pressure cooker from Cosori. Happy with both. So when I decided I needed a little bigger basket and airfryer ovens are too much work for what I got out of them, I looked up Cosori’s larger version of my 3.7 qt. only to find this new reprogrammable unit. Reprogramming the bacon preset adding 2 minutes and a shake was a breeze – worked like a charm. You hear the unit’s fan but not so loud that it takes over the room. After cooking a pound of bacon, the unit wasn’t hot on the outside – could touch without burning my hands. Have also made a baked potato, FF, steak, sausage and hamburger. Presets seem to be right on for what I was cooking. A word about Corosi’s customer service – I had a glitch with my new unit – factory quality control missed a defect. So, I called Cosori direct. One fellow took all my information and questions. In no time at all, I received an email requesting pertinent order info and a picture of the unit info on the bottom. Total time elapsed from my call 'til receiving the new unit - 4 days! From past experience, I know Cosori is a quality product (3 qt airfryer and pressure cooker). Now I know their customer service people are professional, pleasant and responsive to your concerns.

A couple months of using this the tiny screws keep falling out into the food I'm cooking. I have managed to get them out and screw them back in tight as I can, but they always fall out. Well, today I missed a washer that fell off the screw. Thank goodness my son is old enough to notice and didn't break a tooth eating it. Very disappointing reading all these good reviews and feeling like I got a lemon. I'm trying to contact the manufacturer because its dangerous, but I'm not sure how. I just want a replacement that doesn't fall apart.

I did a lot of research and read lot of reviews of different brands and decided to purchase COSORI air fryer based on the so many positive reviews. Just received it, we wanted to try out some veggies. Followed the instructions to startup and use it. MOST OF THE TOUCH BUTTONS DIDN'T WORK. ONLY ONE OF THE PRESET WORKED. Even to turn it on/off you need to hold it several seconds every single time and then TEMP/TIME button didn't work. We spent lot of time trying to use it and wasted so much time on this. Only preheat worked after several attempts and that button is not sensitive at all, we have to press too hard. And we can't use time/temp control to change the time or temperature making it utterly useless and defective product on arrival. VERY DISAPPOINTED. Why do they send a defective product without even testing it?

DO NOT BUY ! The whole basket unit will fall out and hit counter dump HOT food down the front of you. The basket came out while cooking a load of chicken wings and dumped forward spilling the load down the front of me and I had to go to ER for very bad hot grease burns down the front of me and both leg fronts . Gave unit to a team of lawyers for testing by safety lab to file law suit.

I bought this air fryer after seeing the tons of review in Amazon. I was very doubtful that it might be one of those marketing tricks. Tried chicken and spicy fried peanuts. Unbelievable results. Both Cooked to perfection. 1lb chicken took only 9mins to cook with 1tsp of oil at 360deg. 1lb Raw peanuts + 1 tsp of oil, fried to crisp in 20 mins 320deg. Opened and Stirred every 5mins though. I couldn’t wait to try all the recipes listed in the cook book that came with the unit. I wish manufacturer provided more fixtures like other brands. Super happy with this product. These are the other factors I was worried about before buying 1. Noise: I would say half of microwave. Much quieter than my hood at 1 setting. 2. Plastic smell: As soon as I received the unit, washed it with soap water. Ran empty cycle for 20 mins. Smelled chemical for first 2 mins. After that there was no smell at all 3. Smoke: There was no smoke at all while cooking chicken. I was super impressed and surprised with the performance.

I finally opened the box. Read the manual and did the recommendations for cleaning, etc. quite a bit to the unpacking but I get that! Nothing like unpacking a broken item, but this AirFryer arrived in good shape. I made my first chicken wings. All I did was cut the tips off and season them. I used the recommended temp and time and actually wound up cooking a little longer, but it’s a pretty quick time for cooking. The skins came out crispy and the meat was nice, without adding oil. (If I used a coating I might spritz with oil, but I think seasoning and cooking was cool). A little bit of appliance smell, but not obnoxious. The timing knob and temperature dial are easy to use. I support the top of the cooker while I pull out the basket. I’m not sure if the larger capacity AirFryer is larger and takes up more counter space or just taller, mine is the 3.7 quart. I think that’s enough for one or two people, certainly. I unplug small appliances after use, a habit I learned growing up. I didn’t notice any excessive heat around the cooker. I would consider this an easy to operate appliance. I am looking forward to more cooking with this and will update as time goes on.

I purchased this air fryer based on the reviews and videos I saw. The first unit came and the touch screen was not interactive. The unit would only power on if I asked Alexa to turn it on. After Alexa powered it on, the buttons still did not work. I called COSORI and they did not question my issue, seeming to me like this was a very common issue. I did a replacement through Amazon and my second unit came. I was able to power it on with the power button, but trying to switch between presets was difficult. Trying to adjust the temp and timer would not work at all. Sorry COSORI, this is a poor product. I am going to find another brand!! DO NOT BUY!!

Buyer beware! It may seem like an amazing deal but these air fryers are shoddily made. I purchased this air fryer and it worked well for a day while using the app, but when I went to use it without the app, the three buttons did not work, the temperature setting buttons! The whole middle area of the touch sensor did not work. So I asked for a replacement and that one was even worse! 60% of the touch areas did not work, including the power button. I also noticed they sent me a refurbished one instead of a brand new one. That is not what I paid for. I can no longer trust Amazon's supply chain to order appliances. I feel like the whole chain is tainted by bad actors and they are too big and oblivious to take any credible actions to mitigate this. All they can do is offer a $5 credit for your troubles. I do not know about you but I value my time and it is worth more than $5. Think twice before ordering any appliances from Amazon.

Overall this product is a great addition to any kitchen and amazing at adding a unique flavor to your food. Unless you’re deep frying now, I wouldn’t say this is “healthier”. I don’t add oil to my food unless I’m cooking in here so this is still our not so healthy meal. Cleaning: Cleaning this is horrid!!! I despise it! It is dishwasher safe but if I hand wash the basket every scrubby I have gets caught on the air ventilation holes. Foods: It’s excellent for frozen freezer veggies, reheating food etc. being a bigger basket DOES NOT mean you can put piles of chicken in it. It won’t crisp. So it’s not necessarily faster if you’re making a ton of food. Overall I do like it and use it maybe twice a month. It’s also fun to offer guests delicious home fried food.

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  I ordered the WiFi model and ended up having to use the Wifi only on my phone to get this device started. The push buttons on the front of this device are unresponsive and really, just complete garbage. The buttons seem to be touch capacitive, maybe, for being easily cleanable, or maybe there are real buttons behind the panel...I really don't know. all in all, but they just don't work consistently, if at all. I am going to send this heaping pile of trash back for something that works. I don't even know how this made it past their internal quality assurance and I don't know why Amazon rated this device so high for customers to purchase. I trusted that this would be good, but I was wrong. I won't be trusting Amazon ratings in the future.

OMG! Love this air fryer! Best kitchen purchase ever. I bought this hoping to get a few of my favorite meals with less fat than traditional cooking methods. Not only do you use less oil, but the food comes out better than ever. And it's so much easier than standing over a hot stove! So far (I've had it for a week) I have used it for grilled chicken, grilled potatoes, grilled veggies, blooming onion, Chicken kabobs, and omelettes. Everything has come out delicious! Wonderful when I prepare batches of marinated chicken & Veggies in advance, just pop in the amount you want and dinner is ready in no time. Even though it comes with a small cookbook, it's supper easy to find any recipe online, so you always have access to the info you need. Some of the prior reviews have mentioned issues with the basket dropping off,I have not had this problem at all. It's possible they didn't notice the guide slots in the main basket, or just got a defective unit (possible for anything you buy), but I'm glad I took a chance, I couldn't be happier!

My wife and I didn't really need anything for Christmas, so she had the idea of purchasing an air fryer. We had purchased a pressure cooker a while back and we don't really use it, even though it's a nice one. In part, I think we're kind of creeped out by using a high pressure device, and that's no doubt just an "us" problem. So I read about these things and bought this Cosori 5.8 qt model with Alexa / WiFi connectivity, not that I think I'll ever use that connectivity, but for $10 more after a coupon, why not? And we are a full Alexa house, so you never know. It allows you to upload recipe parameters. So far we absolutely love this Cosori. We've purchased a french fry slicer and made outstanding french fries. We've made burgers in it - both frozen and from ground beef. We've done the grilled ham and cheese and tuna melts, though these will take some experimenting with as the top can blow off of the sandwich or the bread can end up too dry (maybe MORE butter?). My wife has done frozen fish in it. We also bought the extra accessories and have even made pizzas from pre-made dough and we're getting ready to try premade crusts that don't have to be thawed. We've also done the breakfast sandwiches. It makes excellent bacon. This is probably some of the best bacon we've made. The recipe book does have some minor issues, the one that I remember first and foremost is that if you get a pound of ground beef to make sliders, and this is what the recipe calls for - 1 pound of ground beef - the recipe then tells you to fashion it into 4 evenly formed patties. But that's a 1/4 burger. That's not a slider. It makes about 8 sliders using my burger press with the slider piece, and they're GREAT. We've encountered a couple other minor things in the recipe book, but if somebody as bad in the kitchen as me can figure those out, anybody can. If only there was an easy mechanism to recommend corrections. Originally, I rated this as a 4 star due to what was definitely a defective control panel that made changing the temperature and time a serious hassle. Amazon exchanged the unit and while the replace did have a periodic vibration, that appears to have gone away, hopefully for good? The control panel on the new unit appears just fine. In addition to the extra accessories, I even went so far as to buy the Ramekins in two sizes for both eggs and deserts, basting brushes for spreading the olive oil nicely on the burgers, etc. I just ordered additional pizza pans so we can have them stacked up and ready to use. And that leads to the next thing. If you're like me, you'll find that you actually enjoy using this thing so much, you'll want to use it as often as possible. The problem is that, for example, making pizzas for three? Well, you can only do one at a time. Same deal when making an 8-pack of ready to bake biscuits. You can only do 4 at a shot. We've jokingly tossed around the idea of purchasing a second unit, or maybe a bigger one? We'll have to see. I will tell you this - I'm horrible in the kitchen and this thing is actually making me look like I'm talented at preparing food.

As with so many others my WiFi unit has failed the temp and time buttons. Returned it and the accessory kit to Amazon . Please stop selling these defective units.

Cooked the food well, but my hash brown has the burnt plastic aroma afterward. Igree with one of the reviewer: "While cooking the food, it smells so weird like a burnt plastic and when I tried to eat the food it’s taste like burnt plastic." It's definitely a big NO for cooking equipment!

After months of research I finally decided on this model. I went back and forth between the models with windows vs the basket style like this one. Many helpful reviewers stated how easy it was to clean this unit - I think that’s what finally sealed the deal for me. I just wanted an air fryer that was easy to use and clean - if these factors are also important to you, look no further! Now let’s talk about what a great cooking job it does. The first meal I prepared was jerk chicken thighs (boneless, skinless). I marinated the meat overnight with jerk seasoning and cooked them in the (pre-heated) air fryer at 400° for 15 minutes. I pulled the tray out after 15 to flip the meat and realized there was no need - they were perfectly cooked. Crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside. The fryer has a sleek, low-profile design and won’t take up too much room on your counter top (no more than a standard toaster oven). If you’re lucky enough to have lots of cabinet space, it will tuck away nicely. I am just getting started with this thing but am very happy with my purchase. Happy cooking!

The thing reeks of burrning plastic and the food tastes like plastic. It's horrible I was really looking forward to this but now I am totally put off of any air fryer. I may keep trying but today was WORSE than yesterday. It did cook frozen fries and onion rings well bit I could have the same result from my oven. It's too bad they tasted like burnt plastic. I will never consider this product again

I hate hate hate hate the look of this frier. I bought the white one which I paid extra and thought would be a shinny sleak look. It looks like some cheapest matted 3D printed parts put together except the digital window looks very nice ( I have to be fair). It’s too bulky I didn’t want to return it, so I’m using it and it’s working ok so far. Made some fast and nice fries. Unlike other comments said, It could toast bread. Get your fact right people!!! I bet it could be a dehydrator too if you set the temp low enough. Man I’m so angry giving review for this air frier I don’t know why. I guess it takes me some time to make peace with the ugly look. I will come back and give one star if it breaks on me. ??

It caught fire, I never leave my appliances running unattended. I smelled smoke and to my shock it was the cosori air max! Flames quickly spread under the bottom plate. We put out the fire, there was no warning or breakdown. It simply started to burn. Thank goodness I was in the kitchen, I could have lost everything. I have called cosori 3 times and left messages. No one has called back.

Took forever and did lots of research online. Couldn’t find on without negative feedback to took a chance on this one. I LOVE IT!!! I use it for everything. I made a cake in it ( use a little cake pan-it rises like crazy), I made scrambled eggs- when you put in a pan of course, and all kinds of frying. Our favorite is when I make chicken or beef in that Montreal rub, first, and make a batch of frozen vegetables after and tilt the pan so the meat juices cover the vegetables- WOW SO GOOD!! Cooks food in no time. Use it daily. One of my favorite purchases on Amazon. ******* Now a word of advice, something I wish I knew before hand, DON’T SHAKE THE BASKET WITH THE BASE ON!!!! ? It has a nonstick surface, not a smash proof surface. When you shake your food, the basket taps the inside base and now I have a scratch on the inside base. So, just DISCONNECT THE BASKET THEN SHAKE. Then your solid! I got the white 5.8 and its great for a family of three. Super easy clean up- I wash mine by hand. Really really enjoying my fryer! ❤️❤️❤️

We have been using this for a while now and love it. It is super simple to use because it has just the two dials. It doesn't take very long to preheat and cleanup is fast. I just use a kitchen brush with some dish soap on it and everything comes right off with no hard scrubbing. Just a note - Stuff takes less time to cook using this than what it says on the food packaging. I like to spritz a bit of Avocado oil on foods that are supposed to be deep fried. This makes them brown up like they were deep fried.

This is my first air fryer so I am totally amazed with the technology. Instant, perfect results. I was contemplating a new toaster oven when I got this, but one week later I unplugged the toaster oven to be replaced with my Cosori air fryer! It makes breakfast bagel sandwiches to rival Panera ... toast the bagel, fry the egg, and grill up sausage in the Cosori ... and cleanup is wiping out two baskets. Hash browns, fries and onion rings brown to perfection ... way crispier than deep fry. Corned beef hash cooks up great. Turkey burgers from frozen to grilled in 12 minutes, and the bread toasts up in the same pan. Fried chicken is wonderful with panko bread crumbs. Hot dogs are perfectly grilled and buns are toasted to perfection. I chose the Cosori based on customer reviews on Amazon but I checked out other brands in stores and none meet Cosori quality. If you are new to air frying like me, an instant read thermometer is a must and something to lift dishes and pans out of the basket is good. I use a lifter that came with a Insta Pot accessory set. I found most of my cookware works fine .. that is, if it fits in the basket. This air fryer has improved the way I toast, grill, bake and fry. It's a popular cooking trend, you can Google any recioe you want online .... "How do you make a baked apple in an air fryer?"

I bought the 5.8 qt on 10/27 and to be honest, I dislike cooking. I have never in my life cooked wings before and (because the recipe was simple) I did them twice in one week, and they were delicious! As you can tell by my pix, I cook like a beginner. I've always opted for the microwave for its speed and simplicity. But the Cosori cooks faster than a regular oven. It's like having an EasyBake Oven, which I never had as a child. If you're sitting on the fence debating about getting one, get off your butt and do it. There are more expensive ones around and some a lot cheaper. I got the red one because it was under $100 the day I purchased it. My eating habits are certainly becoming much more healthy. There are 100 recipes in the book that comes with the air fryer and they call for items you probably have on hand.

When the air fry craze first hit I thought a multi-task unit was for me. I used the Cuisinart for a year before I decided to buy a dedicated air fryer. The Cuisinart gave me a great learning experience but it was an awful chore to clean. Also the heating element consisted of 3 ceramic rods at the top which didn't air fry the whole basket evenly. I settled on the Cosori after a week of You Tube videos and internet research. In the 2 days of owning the Cosori I've only been able to fry 2 items:, ie: chicken wings and this morning - breakfast sausages. I can tell you that I do not miss the Cuisinart at all. Reasons for my liking the Cosori are: Very easy to clean. The exposed heating element seems to burn off any grease splatter before it hots the fan grid work. The square pan allows more food in a single layer than a round pan. The large heating element eliminates any hot/cold spots in the fry basket. Much smaller footprint than the Cuisinart. There is a learning curve. The 2 items I fried were a little too well done for my liking. The Cosori cooks much faster than the Cuisinart so I will adjust my recipes accordingly. I am glad that I had a year's air fry experience. I know how to correct recipe instructions for my liking. The experience is sufficient to allow me to review the Cosori without prejudice. Between the Cosori and my Instant Pot I can use my range's oven for storage.

This item works well overall and I have had zero serious issues with it. It seems well built and I think that most of the reviewerss that mention the basket attachment point melting on their first use screwed up and didn't put the basket latching mechanism together correctly before running the machine that way. That is technically a product design flaw that requires a modicum of caution for inexperienced users. If the basket is sitting loose in the tray, it's not in there correctly and you will screw your machine up. I have used mine at the highest temp setting for quite some time (I tend to run it hot because I like my food extra done). My basket attachment point has not had a single issue thus far and I expect it to hold up nicely as time wears on. I know a little bit about plastics as a 3d Printing enthusiast and this stuff seems built to hold up well enough to me UNLESS you screw up putting the basket in the tray. In use, the machine works really well overall. It fries things with very little oil needed, but if you want the same texture as actual deep fried foods, you sometimes have to add a little extra oil if something has to cook for a while. PREHEATING IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY unless you like very badly fried food. Some foods don't react like you think they would to the massive amount of air circulation and you get kind of a staleness or dryness. Others like the Broccoli and Cheese Veggie Tots were amazing right out of the gate when properly cooked (Best I have ever made). Bacon in this thing is just incredible and so easy to make. It shrinks up like mad, but it's all perfectly cooked with very little effort. Going to try my hand at Country Ham this weekend. Spam needs a low cook temp (320 or lower) to not flood your house with smoke (the fat in Spam has a low smoke point). This thing is amazing at continuing the cooking process for lightly fried potato chips and tortilla chips. No need to pay more for expensove dark russet potato chips from a major brand. This cooker makes the cheap chips sing. Cleans easy. The Software Design is not the best and requires a tad more button pressing than it should to use, but it's a minor complaint. You can't press the buttons rapidly as they won't take input very quickly. I wish the temp could go about 50 degrees higher overall, but it works pretty well regardless and it's far less messy than an actual grease deep fryer and uses less oil.

I absolutely love this product. I am not a proficient cook, but I can handle this air fryer. I did not purchase the digital model, I dislike anything digital. The instructions are clear and simple to follow. The customer service at Cosori is the best I have ever dealt with, and Amazon is always above any other service. I read the reviews and agree unequivocally with the 5 star rating. The one review mentioned a design flaw in the latch that holds the basket in place. The instructions emphasize to place the basket on a flat surface before releasing with the latch. This would eliminate the possibility of the basket releasing and having the contents spilled out. This product is the best value, it is not excessively priced and it works very well.

Air fryer works. One major complaint is the basket / drawer leaks steams as it cooks which leaves puddles on whatever surface you have the air fryer. If you press lightly on the basket / drawer the steam stops leaking out which means either the product wasn't designed well or manufacturing tolerances are poor. Even though it works, I wouldn't recommend as the mess it makes it just too annoying to keep cleaning up after every use. ** Updated 11/11/19 ** After Cosori support saying that leaking steam from the basket is normal, I am reducing my overall rating to 1 star as this product is clearly made cheaply / poorly designed. Definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND buying from this manufacture and go with a competitor's product that doesn't leak steam and make a mess on your countertop.

So disappointed. My daughter has an inexpensive air fryer so I decided to go better expecting more than looking nice. So loud I would never use with company in an open kitchen. Going back in the box relegated to the closet. Basket size is nice, that’s the most positive comment I can make for an expensive mistake. Well I have to add their customer support team called today and offered to help me including a refund. Great customer attention! Debating my options but I will always do business with a company I trust.

I just bought it last month .. we might use once or twice a week ... key pad it’s not easy you press and nothing happens you have to keep pressing In order to HOPEFULLY set the temp and time .. if it wasn’t for the keypad all would it be great

I just finished making the most amazing batch of buffalo-style wings in our new Cosori air fryer. Honestly, about the best I've ever had. It is easy to use, easy to clean, and has earned a permanent spot on our kitchen counter. It re-heats food like it was made fresh (think pizza etc.), doesn't require an oven preheat, no oil. Now, the customer support part. We ordered this online and used it first for some fried chicken. it was delicious, but it behaved a little strangely - would suddenly cut out for a few seconds, and then come back on. I thought that's weird, but maybe that's what it's supposed to do? Anyway, it got worse and eventually stopped working after the 4th or 5th use. By this time it was too late to return to Amazon so I contacted customer support via their website chat. Within about 10 minutes we had a new one on the way, no charge, no return required, and 4 days later we received the properly functioning we have now. I wanted to wait until we got the new one to check out before I reviewed. THAT's how customer service is supposed to work when things go wrong. You back up your product when something's not right. So kudos to Cosori for a really great kitchen appliance, and triple kudos for their customer support. I would not hesitate to buy another anything from Cosori.

Just ordered this last week. I have used it at least 10 times already. As much as I love how it cooks food and everything comes out crispy, the burning plastic smell has not dissipated. It makes my whole house smell terrible and makes me nauseous! I really wanted to love this air fryer from How good the reviews were, but the smell is terrible!!!

Good product, easy to use and makes food taxure looking great (crunch where it's supposed to... etc.); however, limited in capacity and to me, it generates VERY loud fan noises and high heat exhausts out the rear of the unit (careful where you place the unit while using it), Oh, and it's a bit bulky/cumbersome. Addition comment after used it many time since purchase, the fan is just waaaaay loud! I am also dropping a star because of it.

I used it four times with great results. Excellent fries and juicy chicken, but the fifth time I used it I noticed the fan speed fluctuating, something it had never done before. Once the timer reached the halfway mark I removed the basket to shake my fries and seated the basket again. While the unit was producing heat and the timer was counting down, the blower never engaged. I tried unplugging the unit for about five minutes in hopes of something resetting, but no such luck. The unit was still programmed with what I had set it to beforehand. I had to finish cooking on the stove top. Needless to say, I'm not very impressed.

My wife and I love this 5.8 qt air fryer. I was never much of a cook until we bought this fryer. Now I cook wings, sausages, and lots of other things in it. In fact, I cooked so much that I have now worn out the basket handle after four months of use. Two out of three screws that hold it together came out, and the handle just flops around. I managed to find one of the screws in the sink drain just after it fell out and before the disposal ruined it. However, the second one is nowhere to be found. Fortunately, the handle will kinda work with just two screws holding it together, but the whole thing feels less secure than it did with three screws. I have ordered a couple of spare baskets so I can keep using the fryer, but I am not happy with paying $25 a pop for a manufacturing issue. The screws should have been mounted so they would not back out under normal use and washing.

The fryer has a defective basket handle attachment that caused the outer basket to fall from the inner basket just by pulling out the basket (without pressing the release button). The first and only time we used it was to make fries and chicken wings... When the timer went off, I pulled it out, and the outer basket fell off. The handle is very floppy. Again, I was not pushing the release button. Luckily, it was over the counter and only fell a few inches, but if it were above the floor, it could have been much worse. We ate the meal, which was perfectly cooked and delicious. Cleanup was very easy. But the dangerous handle flaw is a deal breaker. We originally wanted to get the digital 5.8 quart Cosori, but I read some low reviews about the handle issue. At the bottom of the Amazon page I saw that there was a "newer" model (the manual one we ordered) and it had 100% perfect reviews... I thought maybe the handle problem was fixed.... so I ordered it for my wife's birthday. The handle problem was not fixed. Now we have to return it... very disappointed.

Ordered model CP158-AF, which is nice matte deep red, on Oct. 14, 2019 with delivery window of the 15th by 9 p.m. It arrived before 5 p.m. It was packed nicely and the manufacturers box has a handle so it was easy to lift from packing box. There is a user manual which you should take the time to read and a recipe book about 110 pages of recipes. was starving but I went over it and over the manual. As my pictures show it was larger than I thought as I live in an apt. Make sure you have counter space to have 5" from your wall as steam escapes from the rear. *** There is a plastic cover over the basket release button. Please make sure it's in place so it won't be pushed by accident. It will release the inner basket which is holding the outer basket and also have a solid surface to place it on before you release. I put mine on the large burner on my stove as there wasn't enough room on counter. It was enough room to pull it out so I could flip the scallops. I didn't release it until I was ready to wash it. I had to give a slight tug to remove basket from fryer because it is new. It should slid out easier with more use. The manual is very informative and the display is easy to use with pictures of preset food items. I will purchase additional accessories such as ramakens, cake and pie pan as some recipes call for them. I do have some small glass containers I can use. You can use Pyrex or anything you can use in an oven. Also a sprayer for oil. My first use was for jumbo scallops. I didn't have a sprayer so I used paper towels to dab olive oil lightly and Old Bay seasoning. There wasn't a recipe or temp and cook time so I did a search online. I did preheat of 390 and cooked at 390 for 2 mins each side. Checked and did another minute. I should of used the preset fish instead of shrimp but I'm learning. They came out delicious. They don't get brown like searing them in butter but the Old Bay added some color to them. I have Alaskan Pollack fillets I am trying next and pork chops. So far I love it and look forward to using it daily. I will do an update. ***Update*** Love cooking with this! issue is the cookbook fell apart and I had only browsed through it once and a metal prong seperated from the skewer rack so I went down a star.

This was my first experience with air-frying, and it was awful. I cooked chicken twice, and although it cooked adequately the meat smelled and tasted of melted plastic. In fact, the smell from the unit (plastic smell) permeated throughout my house. I returned the product, and this unit has deterred me from trying another. Not recommended.

I would strongly recommend it to my friends. First, it has a large interior space and can make many chicken wings at the same time. Secondly, it is very nice to have a recipe manual attached, which tells you how to use the product in detail, and there is no noise, so you don't need to worry about the noise affecting your mood when making food. I also attached my own chicken wings, very delicious. Easy to use, just turn the button and wait for the food to be cooked.

I love, love, love this air fryer! I literally use it everyday. I researched several before taking the leap and purchasing this one and I’m so glad I did. Large square basket that feeds atleast a family of 4. The preset buttons cook spot on. So far, I have tried the fried chicken from the recipe book and my family said it was delicious. Nice and crispy. I temped the chicken and it was where it should be. I have always been nervous about cooking chicken on the bone, but not anymore! Being able to preheat the fryer makes cooking even faster, which I love. I’m on an eat clean low carb diet so I cook EVERY meal in it. When I’m cooking my food I normally just keep it at the 350 degrees 15 minute temp/time because it cooks so fast. It has a shake reminder, which I find very handy. Roasted mushrooms, zoodles, jalapeños, I couldn’t even name all that I cook in there but it’s very convenient and everything tastes great! It even crisps up frozen eggplant slices I have vacuum sealed in the freezer. Chicken slices coated in almond or coconut four come out CRISP. When you register your fryer you get an extra 1 year warranty so a total of 2 years Cosori will stand behind their product. The recipe book has tons of recipes with pictures that I can’t wait to tweak and make them where I can eat them. Or I could just make them how the book says and feed the others in my family :) Very detailed instruction booklet and quick reference guide included. Oh, and all the buttons on the touch panel are easy touch so you don’t have to worry about holding down a button or trying to get it to set right when you’re in the middle of cooking. I can go on and on about how much I love this thing, but I would probably put people to sleep!! I HIGHLY recommend!

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  I really like this air fryer. I have only had it for two weeks and have used it three times. Every time I use it excessive smoke comes out of the supposedly seals of the pull out drawer (see video) and sets off my smoke alarm (usually around 8-9 minutes). This will be my third air fryer and have never experienced this before. Also, I have reviewed all of the other reviews and did not see a pattern that this is normal. I am literally afraid to use it. If I still had the box I would return it. I am just going to throw it out. The food did come out good though and I absolutely love the smart features. I am really disappointed because I have read really good things about the COSORI and many of the youTube videos I have watched for air fryer recipes use it. Guess I just got a lemon. UPDATE: I was contacted by Cosori (they actually contacted me) and just like other reviewers, they addressed my issue and sent me a new air fryer. Great Customer Service. It is so refreshing to deal with a company who stands by their product. As I type, I am making wings for the first time in my new air fryer, and guess what, NO SMOKE. Smells amazing!

The fryer itself is good. I hesitated to get the wifi version with all the data leaks, etc. But after using it, was glad I did EXCEPT....the app is junk....it's a generic control app. It let's you set your fryer to preheat and cook. It notifies you it's preheated sometimes. If you are actively using your phone, notifications work. God forbid you set it down and the screen goes off. No notifications. Garbage. I have resorted to setting separate alarms for preheat and cooking. So many possibilities, such poor execution.

I have had the air fryer for several days and find myself using it pretty much every night. I have cooked chicken breasts, pork, shrimps and vegetables (like beans, eggplant, mushroom), it is incredibly how juicy everything turns out while being crisp on the outside. Cooking times are shorter and you save yourself the mess from cooking things in a frying pan on the stove in oil. But the very important thing is you can use very little oil so it is healthier. It is also very easy to clean. I am usually skeptical about new kitchen appliances but this one has me hooked.

I have used this every day since getting it. The 11 presets are convenient in automatically setting temperatures and times to cook food crisply and evenly. I have made fried chicken, fries, steak, vegetables and more in this handy machine, for all kinds of meals. The non-stick basket is easy to clean. As all the oil and excess water drips to the bottom basket, you can cook your proteins, then sides without using multiple pans or watching over the time like you would with a stovetop. You can even defrost. I chose this model as there is an app with recipes for inspiration, and also a way to start cooking from your phone, and get notified on when to shake or flip halfway. It also looks modern in my kitchen and makes a nice futuristic humming sound to boot.

This is my family’s first air fryer. We all love it so much! We have tried it many times. We tried fried fish and chips. Also fried vegetables. All works amazing! Helps my family eat less oil and control weight. Very easy to use and cooked so quick! Love! Love! Love!

When I first got this fryer it smelled horribly bad like plastic and left a really nasty plastic taste on everything. I ran it for 2 hours at 400 degrees with some water in it to see if it would burn off whatever was causing this issue. It worked, now everything tastes great, no plastic smell or taste. But very disappointing I had to do this, they should break these in before they ship them to prevent this issue. In addition, the display is very dim, in a bright kitchen its nearly impossible to see, and the control scheme is a bit counterintuitive and kind of annoying to use. But other than that, I love this device.

This air fryer exceeded my expectations .This works incredibly well. The basket is a great size. I made savory snacks 。And I was glad I didn't need to use oil to fry these.Makes great fries as well. Cooking is very quick. you have to do is put your food in the basket; insert the basket; set the temperature and then set the timer.

Purchase this Air-Fryer. I did all the research for you. I spent 3 days researching air fryers pouring over hundreds of reviews, specs and videos. Very convenient. I purchased for my 70+ year old mother's birthday on August 27, 2019. Although mom was a great cook, she no longer enjoys the hassle of cooking now. But this Cosori air fryer has reunited her joy for cooking. She enjoys trying the many recipes included with the device as well as going on Google to find new recipes. Chicken Thighs and hicken wings are big hit. I actually prefer the wings from the air fryer than any restaurant wings. Even shrimp came out great. I worried the texture of vegetables such as squash and zucchini would not do well but I was wrong. The vegetables were great as well. The preset cooking settings make cooking super simple. The shake alarm is really helpful because it's important to turn food to prevent burning and insure even cooking. I highly recommend this new model of the Cosori air fryer. It's basket is relatively larger than others in same price range so you can cook more at same time. Also it has a smart wifi feature which allows you to control the device with your phone.

I ordered the expensive Phillips XXL air fryer because it was supposed to be the “best“. It was indeed large and performed quite well. My only complaint was that it was a bit difficult to clean. When my son came to visit he commented that his Philips air fryer, which is half the size as mine , came with a rack which allowed him to cook the same amount of food as my XXL air fryer. So, of course, I ordered a rack for my large air fryer. However, Phillips does not make an appropriate size rack for the XXL so you cannot take advantage of its large size. I spoke with a number of people at Phillips and they insisted that the small rack was all they had and it was appropriate for the XXL air fryer. As a result, I returned the unit and started shopping again. After doing my research, I decided to buy the Cosori. It is every bit as good as the Phillips, it’s easier to clean, and comes with a rack that is an appropriate size for such a large air fryer. In fact, it is even larger than the Phillips. There’s no need to spend a lot of money buying the Philips as the Cosori is as good or better than it and costs so much less. I might add that the consumer representative at Cosori was particularly nice. She actually measured the rack to make sure that it was the right size for the air fryer.

After hearing rave reviews from family and friends about using Air Fryers I thought it would be a good solution for preparing meals for one that didn’t take long to prepare, made for easy cleanup, used less energy and would allow me to have a variety of delicious meals. Unfortunately my experience with the Cosori Air Fryer has been nothing but disappointing. I’ve used it to cook steak which took much longer to cook than the literature suggested and it didn’t brown up at all. I’ve tried cooking French fries using raw potatoes and after nearly 30 minutes at 400 degrees I had limp fries that I wasn’t interested in eating. I’ve tried frozen French fries that I even sprayed lightly with canola oil hoping to help crisp them up, and again ended up with limp fries after nearly 30 minutes. I don’t know if the fan isn’t working or what the problem is but I’m not at all happy with this product.

Best purchase I’ve made all year! It’s quick and easy to make a meal. I made chicken wings with no breading and they came out crunchy and delicious!

We love our Cosori Air fryer, it’s working and has worked as it is supposed to be working, however after 3 months of use we started to notice that the exterior of the air fryer (is made of cheap plastic) has started to crack. I will still recommend the Cosori however you have to be aware that the exterior is made of cheap plastic. I will update my review on a few months.

Deserves zero stars. The air fryer sent to me has not only been used, but was not even washed. Very disgusting. I will never purchase from Cosori again. I’m very surprised that it came directly from the brand manufacturer itself, not a third party. It was sold as “new”. Thankfully it can be easily returned but it was needed for the holiday weekend.

I bought this unit, in August 2019 and have cooked with it 4 to 8 times a week since. The food turns out delicious every single time! I have NO complaints about its ability to air fry food. This is my 4th air fryer but 1st Cosori.

First of all I want to say that this is a very nice air fryer. It is well done and works great. I also want to make my compliments to the customer service: really top! I wrote an email this morning asking for support because I could not connect my mobile with the air-fryer and they solved in the same day. I take my dusty hat off! PS problem was that it is necessary to turn off mobile data before proceeding, Solved! Thanks!

After using this for the first time, I can honestly say there is no such thing as "air frying". This is nothing more than a counter top convection oven. Heating unit up top to brown, hot air circulated within the chamber to heat. I used my oven fried chicken recipe and tried it in this Air Fryer. The chicken came out the same, aside from the fact I had to make it in 2 batches, due to space, as oppossed to one batch. Maybe it's because I already make my food in my large convection oven. The results are the same. Crispy on the outside; moist and tender in the middle. Little to no oil. As for french fries. I won't even try them. Fries you find in the freezer isle of your local grocer are unhealthy to begin with. Read the ingredients. Some of them require a degree in chemistry to understand what's in them. Plus, they are already laced with oil and sodium. Making them in the air fryer does not change their ingredients, or, in my opinion, make them healthier for you as opposed to making them in my convection oven. I now opt for fresh russets, toss with oil, and roasted on parchment paper in my oven. So, I guess it is just a matter of opinion. As for me, there is no such thing as "air frying". Trying to cut sodiuim, fat, and carbs, I'll continue with my tried and true tested methods used in my convection oven. Low oil, low to no sodium, roasted on parchment paper. Sometimes going back to basics is so much healthier and easier than all these new, must have latest devices.

This air fryer is amazing and I bet this would be my best purchase on amazon in 2019! I've watched air fryer for a long time and hadn't decided until noticed this one. Most air fryers can only work manually to set up time and temperature, which is not suitable for me. I'm always trying to make my kitchen smarter and this wireless-connected air fryer would be the best choice for me! I can prepare meat or veggies in ahead and just put it in the air fryer. I only need to open the air fryer on my way home. Everything is super easy and the receipt book really helps to prepare. Notes for cleaning issues: put aluminum foil and get rid of washing it.

Excellent product. I have been exploring healthy cooking now I have a toddler. This air fryer allows me to prepare delicious fried food to my family without the excessive amount of fat and calories that traditionally come with deep frying. The fryer is super easy to set up, use, and clean. Food came out so much better than expected and I definitely recommend it as a better alternative to deep fryers. I have a lot of kitchen appliances but I already see myself using this on a frequent basis.

This size is good. The basket can be detachable, so it is easy to clean. I have made chicken thighs, sweet potato fries, and I want to try more recipes. I love this air fryer!

Love the convenience and size. Love the flavor and crispness. Love the functional aspects as finish of the cooking unit. However, the teflon on the cooking basket is already rubbing off. We use teflon safe sponges by scotch and haven't had any similar issues with our cookware. Primarily Im concerned about the safety of the coating since its pretty ‘suspect’ if its already wearing off (is it getting into our food, I dont know but I have two children which isnt worth the risk). It has the feeling if one of those ‘dollar store’ pans... Secondly, for it to show so much wear after 3 months is “cheap” and surprising for a unit that is so well designed otherwise. If it is a part that needs regular replacement, fine- then sell the replacement baskets and perhaps dont use teflon.

Not sure if I am a fan of this product.. SENDING BACK .I made beef skwers..did exactly what the book says cooked at 400' for 8 min for medium meat.... made my $30.00 piece of meat rubbery....plus it came out raw.....cooked bacon....wanted crispy....not crispy....made wings....they were frozen...took over 30 min to cook... not crispy....I really want to learn how to use this....but the book they send is very vague on details and how to do......just made onion rings...not good at all....

Actually received the air fryer the day after it was ordered.

Prior to cooking, I ran the fryer on a preheat cycle of 400 deg. F for 5 minutes to eliminate any possible manufacturing/electrical residue. There was somewhat of an electrical smell with this process, but that has been normal with other kitchen electrics I own. (Some manuals will even direct you to run the appliance a few minutes to let it "cure in" and to expect an electrical odor.) The odor dissipates and isn't an ongoing issue after curing.

Started off with cooking tests of 3 inexpensive items: meat, potatoes and bread. I didn't use fresh items for the testing, but chose frozen sausage patties, frozen "cubed" hash browns, and canned biscuits. I made certain to preheat the fryer for every item at the cooking temperature being used - the results were impressive.

For the sausage patties, the fryer was preheated at 390 deg. F for 5 minutes then cooked at 390 deg. F. Cook time was 6 minutes and patties were flipped over at 3 minutes. The finished patties were tender and moist, just slightly browned around the edges, but not at all burnt or hard. Wonderful result. (Quite a bit of time saved over skillet cooked patties which I usually cook low and slow to keep them tender and avoid hardness/burning.)

The fryer was cooled and preheated again at 390 deg. F. The frozen cubed potatoes were lightly spritzed with EVOO, and cooked at 390 deg. F for 7 minutes. With 3 minutes remaining, the potatoes were tossed well, seasoned with salt and pepper and lightly spritzed again. (The potatoes weren't seasoned initially because I wanted to clearly see how well the fryer was browning them.) The end result was light brown crusty edges and tender centers. Perfect. Better than oven roasted.

Saving the canned biscuits for last, I really thought this would be the challenge and was prepared for a re-do. (I haven't been very successful in the past with canned biscuits in the GoWise Turbo air fryer.) I set the fryer to preheat at 360 deg. F for 4 minutes and used the time to lightly butter both sides of the 5 biscuits.

The biscuits cooked almost 5 minutes on 360 deg. F. At 3 minutes remaining, I pulled the basket out and checked them with the intent of flipping them over. But I decided to wait and see what the end result if they weren't flipped. I was very surprised to see the end result were biscuits that looked as if they had been cooked in a conventional oven. I literally could see no difference. They rose perfectly, browned without burning and even had a light brown crust on bottom. So there would have been no need to flip them at all - another time saver and great looking biscuits! Let me tell you I was happy !

Keep in mind these tests weren't even run with fresh foods...so I can imagine how great fresh chicken, wings, ribs, steak, fresh seasonal vegetables and homemade breads will be! There may be occasional tweeks with with temps and time, but from what I have seen thus far, this fryer will produce very good results if proper temp, time and techniques are used. (And barring any unforeseen errors and issues with the unit of course.)

Almost forgot to mention the KEEP WARM feature is going to be a real help to me since hubby's work hours aren't stable! (Then there's that gorgeous cookbook that came with the fryer I need to cook through!) Registered right away to capture the extra year warranty.

P.S. - I also have the Cosori Multicooker which is a stellar performer. It has Bake, Boil, Roast, Steam, Slow Cook (3 levels - Low/Med/High) , Saute, Simmer, Brown, Yogurt, Rice functions and also Manual programmable temperature and time input. (You can also sterilize items with the Boil function) - Fantastic appliance.

First off, I would like to say this is an excellent air fryer. It does what it says. Aesthetically, it's a very nice looking machine, a step above the standard model. Functionally, I would say is inferior to the standard model. The main reason I say this is because on the standard model, all the presets were touch-enabled. Meaning I can select a preset by simply pressing the buttons. On the stainless steel model, you have to press "menu" to toggle through each preset. So If I wanted to select "fish", I would have to press menu 8 times. Where the standard model, I simply press the "fish" button. I will be returning this for that reason.

Expect the product in 2 days as promise when I order but came in one week. I gave them a chance because I’ve been wanting to own an air fryer. Excited to open, it looks good and big and tried to cook something in it but did not met my expectation. While cooking the food, it smells so weird like a burnt plastic and when I tried to eat the food it’s taste like burnt plastic. It’s a big NO for me I have to returned the product right away before it poison my family. I was very disappointed that I had to deal getting rid the weird smell in my kitchen after using this product.

Of the 3-4 air fryers I’ve had, this one is the best. It’s the large lateral surface that makes it. And this stainless steel unit looks awesome on your counter (I’m not one to leave appliances out). Best nonstick surface of the others. No sticking and easy to clean. No peeling yet of the nonstick surface which has been a chronic problem with the last 3 brands I bought.

I set up the Cosori Air Fryer as instructed and placed it on the counter with plenty of ventilation for all sides. Initially the unit worked as described. After about a month, the unit started to shut down intermittently. I thought it was because it was getting hot. I was confused as to why it would perform this way. I plugged it into different outlets to see if that would resolve the issue. This did not. Finally, it died. It was used less than a dozen times during a three month period. I called Amazon to initiate a return. The rep issued a return label less the cost of shipping, which reduced the refund by about $26. I asked why as the unit was clearly defective. The rep said that it was because it was after the 30-day return window. I said that the defect did not manifest until after a month, and that there was no way to know that it would be defective before then. I asked to speak with a manager, who basically repeated the same policy. The manager did offer to give me the contact information of the manufacturer. She made clear that they would not issue a refund, but would likely reissue another unit. I had lost confidence in the unit given how quickly it puttered out. The manager stated that the refund less the shipping was all that could be done. Left with two options, a) refund less shipping or b) risk another defective unit and another return scenario, I opted for the first option. I was, nevertheless, deeply disappointed and frustrated that Amazon came short on rectifying the situation. To be clear, I do not blame the rep or the manager. They were friendly and professional. They seemed limited to the policy. The policy is at issue. This is an electronic unit with electronic complexities. Customers of such units would be better served with longer return windows than 30 days, or whatever the scientific average is for electronic units to manifest defects. Amazon, if you are reading this, please consider variable return windows given unit complexities/categories. Perhaps, algorithms can figure out reasonable expectations.

I really love it! However I have discovered that if you don't use the rack both sides of whatever you put in like chicken or whatever will not get that roasted on both sides. But with that said it's great and I use it everyday. I make sweet potato fries OMG the best!!!

Plenty of room and looks very nice on counter. I bought the accessories and use it often and everything has been delicious. I also bought several low carb air fryer recipe books. This one is better than the ones being pushed. Cleans easily and stainless steel is nice.

Update: Been using the Cosori air fryer for over a year now and use several times a week sometimes more often. I can say it will not wash up in the dishwasher. As time goes on, it becomes increasingly difficult to clean as the oil from cooking along with the fat in meats tend to become stuck along the sides and bottom of the basket. Despite my best efforts, it looks dirty inside because it is. Another concern. I noticed the inside of the Corsori also needs to be kept clean as there is grease buildup around the coil and roof on the inside of the machine. I am wondering if this buildup left unchecked could start a fire. Now before I am accused of using too much oil, I assure you I do not but some oil must be sprayed on chicken and fish if you want it to brown. The same can be said for french fries although the cooker really does not do fries well. Tend not to crisp up. I am disappointed with how it is holding up after a year's repeated use. As far as the teflon coating, there must not be much since many items will stick to the basket and need to be removed with a spatula or other tool even if one sprays a little oil in the basket bottom to avoid sticking. So I am not as enamored with this as I initially was. What I would really like is a new basket but not certain if these can be purchased. Now it gets just 3 stars for these reasons. Initial review 2019: I purchased this about 2 weeks ago and have used it around 8 times since then. It is fantastic. It browns raw meat beautifully. Cooks frozen food wonderfully. Great french fries. No smell. No fussing with cooking oil. On occasion I have added a tablespoon of oil to get a great "crunch" factor and that has worked superbly. The programs are easy to use. Adjustments are easy to make while cooking. It retains the preheat even while not actively cooking so that is helpful as it takes the pressure when getting other foods ready for the cooker. Very happy with this purchase. Between this and my pressure cooker, I am a happy cooker. Save heating up the house using the stove. My electric fry pan can tend to items not suitable for either cookers.

it warmed up french fries after 50 minutes, I sprayed the fries with olive oil and they did not get crisp....very disappointing.....I sent it back...after doing more research there is no way to fry food unless its submerged it oil in a frying pan..........as in there there is no such thing as an air fryer..........it is a toaster oven with a fan in the back and the fan in mine is broken............I am looking into a convection toaster oven (same thing as air fryer only honest)

I guess that it didn't "die", it just decided be lazy. My guess is a faulty temp sensor or some such malfunction, as it will run for 5 minutes or so, and then shut off until the whole thing cools off again. It literally behaves as it's unplugged. If I set it to a low temp, like 200 or so, it will work for longer, but what good is that? Unfortunately, it's just out of the return window by a couple of weeks or so, and I had just discarded the original packaging thinking that it was good to go after using it every weekend for a month. I figured that I was out of luck. Cosori Customer service contacted me (see comments) and after sending an email as requested, they shipped me a new one right away. I'm typing this as delicious corn on the cob is frying in it. Yum! They shipped out the new unit quickly via FedEx and it got to me fast! I am very, very satisfied with Cosori. There's going to be a failure rate with everything, even if it's a very small percentage, and great customer service can make up for it. It did with me.

I was a huge fan of this machine. Used it daily for the first week i had it. Then while using it on day 8 it stopped running in the middle of cooking. Thought it may have over heated so turned it ofd and let it cool for an hour and I even tuned on a fan to help cool it down. It started again but would not stay on. The lights would flash on then off and then back on. I cleaned it up and put it away for the week and decided I wpuld give it one more try before returning and no luck. Started and the turned off. Went through it twice and then it would not turn on again. Returning tomorrow

I like it that it is easy to use. First, I used it for fries. It says to preheat for better and faster cooking results. The thing that I did not like was the fact that every time I preheat or just started cooking, it will always smoke up inside my house. My purpose in buying this was for easy cooking and cleaning indoor. I took it outside and tried cooking bacon and chicken eith the pre-set setting on the menu display and it cooked well. The tray is easy to clean but the air fryer itself inside wasn't easy to clean.

A few weeks ago I bought the all black 5.8 Cosori, then realize they had the stainless steel one which I prefer and I would highly recommend even though it is a little more expensive, the food is absolutely amazing in this air fryer everything actually taste different but in a good way more delicious with barely any oil to no oil, it’s so easy to clean, I love the square basket because you can fit more stuff, take a look at all my pics , From french fries to veggie burgers, Chickpeas, steak, sausage and peppers, breaded chicken cutlet, grilled chicken cutlet, and let’s not forget dessert those beautiful cinnamon rolls.

I've had this since January and I've loved using it however now the drawer won't close on it and I'm not sure what the problem is. And I'm down to months past the return date.

Purchased on March 21, 2019, COSORI Air Fryer 5.8 Qt. Electric Hot Air Fryer from Amazon.com Services, Inc with a certified, 2 year Warranty. Quit working on May 18, 2019. Need I say more! Worked for two months and would NOT even come "on". Started turning "off" and would come back "on" two weeks prior to its total failure! I contacted the manufacture on the COSORI and provided them with the information on purchased and a new COSORI arrived in a few days. Great response on replacing failed air fryer, and great customer service!

OK, I have to admit that before I started looking for one, I didn't understand what an "air fryer" was. For anyone else wondering, an air fryer is a convection oven with a basket. You put spices and a tablespoon or two of oil on your food before it goes in, put your food in the basket, and it gives your food a "sort of fried" exterior. Any left over oil or rendered fat falls through a grate and ends up in the bottom of the basket. If that's what you're looking for, this is huge, but good, and I'm not sure I'd want one much smaller. We made steaks and eggplant last night, and both came out quick, juicy and flavorful. This unit has a ton of features - a bunch of presets, a skewer holder, etc. The baskets are non-stick and dishwasher safe, and it really seems to work well. If you have the space and are interested, I'd recommend it strongly.

This is my third brand of air fryer. I had a Habor that malfunctioned after 2 months. Bought a 400 dollar Breville Smart oven that malfunctioned on day one. i had it....but I wanted an air fryer because I didn't want to fire up the oven every time I wanted to oven fry 4 pieces of chicken. I caved and got the Cosori. PROS: Large capacity (5.8 qt) Small profile compared to others. Non stick seems more durable than others (my habor started chipping after a few uses and hand washing). After having made fried chicken in other air fryers, THIS one reigns supreme. It achieves something that other air fryers couldn't do. Normally, 'crispy' fried chicken in an air fryer just describes the skin being rendered to a point where its like a shell on the chicken. Sure, its crunchy, but it lacks the texture of fried chicken. The cosori somehow manages to get those little 'bubbles' in the skin like real fried chicken. It has more of the texture of real fried chicken. CONS: How long will it last? My past experience with other brands doesn't give me confidence. Sure, Cosori gives you a 2 year warranty...but I would rather have something that lasts than something you need to trade in every now and then...keeping in mind that once the 2 years is up...no more trade ins. Only time will tell. If you want to slide the basket out to flip food, its probably best to pull it completely out, otherwise the electronic control panel gets a blast of hot steam, which can't be good. Maybe the panel is protected from this? I'm not going to chance it. If it's not protected from hot steam, its a design flaw. Update: While performance on this air fryer is great, the unit died after 13 months. Cosori sent me a new one... but said 'because its close to the end of warranty' they will send a new one, but this new one will not be covered. This product is advertised as a TWO YEAR warranty. I appreciate them sending me a new fryer, but I think they need to read their own literature. You WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED with the performance of this air fryer...when it works.

This air fryer is bigger and heats up better than my last one. Plus it allows more things to be put in the basket, which cook pretty evenly. One of the troubles that I have had with some of the air fryers is that they only do the outside of a basket of fries, or a single layer. This one works better than the old one, and honestly better than my NINJA, on french fries anyway. Probably half of the stuff we use it for are fresh fries. The other half is vegetables. Potatoes are a vegetable. I can also trust that all of the veggies will end up cooked, not the ones on the bottom and top. I also like the user friendly aspect of this one. It is very easy to select settings and times and temps.

This is my first air fryer. It is basically a small convection oven that needs 3 - 5 minutes to pre-heat. Cooking is about 20-40% faster than a normal oven. Get the bigger size. We need to make a meal for 2 - 4 people and you want you food to lie flat for the best roasting. Temperature max is 400 degrees. Pros: - Preset - Buttons are easy to use. French fried, carrot (root vegetables), meat, etc. - The cooking book and recipe manual are very helpful. - Clean-up is super easy - the metal is very non-stick as is the bottom pan that catches the drips - You can use a preset button to get an idea of recommended temperature and time but use the Time/Temp button to adjust it down - On the presets, it beeps half way through for you to "shake" the food which is helpful to see how cooked they are - I finally was able to make roasted brussel sprouts with a maple glaze that have not worked out in my normal oven - There was a plastic smell the first time I used it and a faint hint in the food, but now I do not notice it. The cooking area where your food is is metal. Cons: - Big and high so it does not fit in my pan cabinet - French fry preset was way too long. Need about 12 minute instead, total. Tips: - Adjust the time to less than what is recommended or else they may be dry and overcooked - Spray the vegetables with olive oil and I use tongs to "toss" them around at the mid-point alarm I was worried about buying this brand since I had never heard of it before. I have made complete meals, cooking the veggies separate from the cut chicken in the air fryer, and I am very happy with the purchase. I have been using for about 3 weeks.

I added this product onto our wedding registry because I was running out of items we needed. We didn't even know we needed this, but we love using it nearly every day. Actually, the one we were gifted was broken and Cosori sent us a brand new replacement immediately so high praise for their customer service. We love the larger 5.8 quart size and is non-stick and cleans *super* easily which is great for someone like me who hates to wash dishes. A few tips to convince anyone on the fence about getting an air fryer: - Costco pre-cooked bacon tastes AMAZING in this. - Leftover pizza tastes even better than fresh pizza in 5 minutes, no preheat needed. - Tons of Trader Joe's frozen foods cook perfectly and really easily in this like their cauliflower gnocchi, chicken tenders, corn, and turning fresh asparagus and butternut squash zigzags into alternative fries. - Leftover veggies reheat well in this with a nice char which makes it better than the fresh dish Our so-called "instant" pot is never coming up from under the counter again while this Cosori air fryer is the only table-top appliance we don't store away between uses because we use it so often.

Broke after 3 months the inside melted so handle doesn't close!! MUST SAY, customer service was amazing!! Just received a brand new one after they saw my review very happy!! I use it all the time was just upset that it broke but they reimbursed me and sent me a new one and I’m more than happy!!

I adore this machine. My mom and I have been wanting an air fryer for years now and shopped around EVERYWHERE for the very best one. Of course, Amazon had the best deal but was it the right one? For us? My mom’s not good at computers yet I am, what can I find that will work for us both? She needs something that she can easily figure out to use on her own while I want something that isn’t archaic looking with knobs and a CVS receipt-like list of instructions. Well, this was the answer to our prayers! It’s modern, easy to use (functions operate like a regular oven), easy to clean and figure out. Also, everything you put in it comes out instantly more delicious! We bought the accessories and the recipe book, as well, and I’m planning on cooking up a storm for Mother’s Day 2019 using just this air fryer and the recipe book! I don’t even like to cook! Forget that foods are 85% healthier because of less oil, this is so much fun! From breakfast to dessert, I’ve never been so happy to eat! P.S. My one complaint is that it is noisy to me, nothing above annoying level but it does make a consistent sound when powered on. Dependent on your kitchen layout, it could be annoying. If I’m in the kitchen with it, it’s annoying; if I’m not, it’s fine. My mom doesn’t mind it because she says you need to know when it’s on, depends on the person, I guess.

The product is a total piece of trash. The first time did not turn on. After about 5 minutes it did. And worked . The second time barely made it for five minutes. And the third , the third never did worked. Total waste of money.

I researched air fryers for some time before I chose the 5.8 Cosori. It arrived and although it looked great and was packaged well, I will return it. The problem is the drawer. It is very difficult to slide in and out and just feels very clumsy. I will be ordering a different one. Since I haven’t seen mention of this on reviews, I am assuming it could be defective.

I have nothing but great complements on the design and results based upon first two uses. On third time it failed completely - shut down and screen was blank. After 30 minutes it beeped and restarted. So I tried it again. Same failure occurred again - shut down and reset after 20-30 minutes. As I kept trying it the failure problem seemed to disappear most of the time. I was so satisfied when it worked I just kept trying to figure out what was going wrong - some component internally is a problem in the first one. Contacted Cosori. They were very helpful and would assist in replacing it. Excellent customer support. Received a replacement the next day from Amazon. While I initially received one with a defect I am very satisfied with the second air fryer. It is well designed, the right size for 2 - 4 people depending on what you are cooking. I am developing my own recipes for food my wife and I like. We'll take the air fryer traveling with us this summer in that we prefer our own food over restaurant food most of the time. We have cooked biscuits, muffins, corn bread, chicken, turkey thighs, hamburgers, pork ribs, pizza (home made), kabobs, etc. as we see how much we can do with an air fryer. Very pleased with the design and replacement air fryer.

I was nervous about this air fryer. The brand name was unfamiliar to me, but I bought it on the strength of customer reviews, which never seem to steer me wrong. I am SO impressed with this air fryer, and I will definitely recommend it to friends and family. I've had it for about a month, and because of the ease of cooking and cleanup, I've used it at least once a day and more. I am calorie and fat content conscious, so I use an oil spritzer to lightly coat my foods. I spray the basket with cooking spray when that is a recipe detail. I've seen so many people say that something in cooking spray makes the nonstick coating on their air fryer baskets just peel right off. I have used cooking spray countless times in my Cosori, and the coating has held up fine. I've seen some reviewers complain about the noise and the beeping. I am, like, say what? I was worried about the noise, but I've got to say that the complainers may have sensitive ears. I like to know when my Cosori is finishing a cycle. Then I can be right there to throw in more food if I'm doing two batches or a full meal. I don't find the beeping sound or the fan sound of the machine to be offensive AT ALL. This machine cooks like a dream, I love it, and now wonder how I lived without it. I love the French fries made in the Cosori. I spritz them with EVOO, salt them, and sprinkle them with Messana dried parmesan, which is incredibly flavorful and very low calorie. Stir them in the bowl to coat them, pop them into the Cosori, and diners are moaning with delight in 15 minutes. Delicious and guilt free! Buy this machine. Easy to clean. No mess in the kitchen. Creates fabulous dishes. Last night I was dining alone, and in six minutes I had the most delicious salmon I've ever tasted along with parmesan French fries. My kitchen was as clean as when I started. I can choose to wash the pan and basket by hand or throw them in my dishwasher. It's toss up which I choose to do. I only know my time, which is valuable, has been cut way back in my kitchen without sacrificing meal quality. In fact, we are eating better and healthier! I haven't enjoyed having French fries in a very long time. Now I can enjoy them every day if I wish. You should soak a freshly cut up batch of potato slices for 20 minutes, so when I peel potatoes and cut them up, I do several days' worth and put any I don't use in a container filled with water. That way they are ready to blot dry and fry whenever we want fries. They stay nice in a raw state in water for days on end. Don't hesitate like I did. Buy this wonderful baby.

We have owned the appliance for a little over week now and used it almost every day in some fashion. It cleans up very well and haven't had anything really difficult to remove yet that a few minutes soaking didn't resolve. Chicken fries, stromboli and french fries came out much better than just oven baking. It preheats faster than the toaster oven and cooks in less time. One quirk we don't like that it doesn't remember last temperature / time used. Also, when shaking, sometimes it forgets the current settings causing you to have to input them again. The larger model is very tall. We had problems storing it in the island cabinets. Had to make room under the kitchen sink for storage. Beware that the max warranty for this item is two years. We thought that you received a two year warranty, and then by registering on their site we would receive another year. That is not the case. You get one year warranty at purchase and another year if you register on their site. I confirmed this by contacting warranty support. In conclusion, we really like the air fryer! We think it will be great on camping trips where you can cook food outside the RV and having that extra heat stay outside on a hot, summer day. Edit: fast forward 6 months Still working great and we have used it on our RV trips! The large size works well for a family of 4.

I bought this and it worked great for about 2 weeks, then I began having issues. It would turn on and off during the cooking process repeatedly anytime I set the temperature above 360 degrees for very long. It eventually shut itself down completely and would not power up after I tried 400 degrees for cooking. I thought it was dead and was going to throw it out in anger. A few days later I tried it again, and it powered up fine. I tried to preheat to 400 degrees and it made it about 4 minutes or so before it began cycling on and off. I backed the temperature back down to 350 and it works fine for any length of time at that temperature. Maybe I can push it to 360 degrees, but I know 380-400 degrees causes problems. The thermostat seems to be shutting the unit down due to overheating of the inside of the unit. I have noticed this air fryer seems to cook a little hot for the displayed temperature. French fries start to burn at the end of cooking the allotted time when the readout says I'm at 360-380. Maybe the display and actual temperature are not calibrated correctly. Maybe this is only my unit, or maybe its more prevalent in other units, I don't know. In any event ,it's pretty functional and is a of good size. Just average in overall quality as all these air fryers are almost the exact same regardless of brand in this price range, all made in China. You get what you pay for.

I bought this for my husband's birthday, he follows the keto diet and I thought this would be great for him. We followed the setup instructions, he preheated the air fryer and put in a layer of chicken wings. Halfway through, he pulled the basket out, flipped the wings and put the basket back in. It started cooking again for about 30 seconds and completely shut off, it wouldn't turn back on at all. We tried another appliance in that outlet to make sure we didn't blow a fuse, the outlet is working fine. My husband plugged the air fryer back in a few minutes later, it turned on and immediately off. This is getting returned.

Stopped working after a few uses super sad going to return and buy a different brand.

Got in mail plugged in it flashed a couple times and never worked again

I was excited to use this for the first time. I turned on and then it turned off its own and that was it. Never came back up. A bit disappointed for the inconvenience I have to go through in returning it. I went on and ordered a replacement, I guess things happen. Just a bit of disappointing if it is new? the face seemed it had hairlines swirls, not sure if it was a return. All looked new. Will update once I get a working unit. ********UPDATE******** Ok, I received my replacement order Monday, Thank you Amazon! This is a night and day product compared to what I received before. First, the difference in delivered product. First, the external box was an "Amazon" badged box and smaller over all. 2nd, the box inside was a "Cosori" labeled box compared to what I had before (Leit or something like that). Third, the box inside the Cosori box was the actual box of the product (with all the pics of it). Lastly the big difference was the fact that the basket had tape holding the basket as many "new" products are done. All looked great, plus no Swirls on the face. A new product indeed. I have a feeling the first was a return. Not cool. Now for the product review.. Yesterday, I went crazy and cooked Battered frozen strips for kids and they were Crispy using the frozen option. Wow! Also, cooked fresh cut fries came out awesome. I think I cut them to thin, but the bigger ones were crispy and no oil (except for olive oil per instructions). Lastly last night, a NY and it was perfectly cooked, a nice Med Rare, it was great. Today, was another test. My daughter and I, mostly her cooked the Jalapeño popper from recipe book. They were great, only think I would of added to recipe was cream cheese, but followed directions for first time. Lastly, I cooked two giant chicken breast. I cooked then at 360 per online instructions, but I think the chicken preset would of done it just fine. Flipped them twice. Perfectly cooked at about 25-30 min.at 360. The president et is for 390 for 25. Wish I took pics, but let me tell you, this Air fryer is awesome. Don't doubt yourself in purchasing. You will be happy with results. I research and went with this brand, plus you sign up for warranty they give you an extra year for free. Cant beat that deal! You have nothing to lose, except the oil much to gain with good cooking! Go for it! The one star less was from the beginning ordeal. Enjoy!

My mom had wanted an air fryer for her birthday so I got her one. Good reviews convinced me to go with this one - big mistake. After getting it setup and getting familiar with the controls, we preheated it and decided to make some fries. About half-way through (after we had shaked them and the heating resumed) it suddenly shut off. The lights simply wouldn't come on, no matter what we did. The basket was in fine, the outlet worked, no power issues; there was no explanation. We waited a bit and tried again, but no luck. The lights never came back on. I returned it, after it failed to even cook a single small basket of fries. This wasn't just a broken air fryer - it was a major disappointment for everyone celebrating her birthday.

I received the fryer on Monday used it 3 times and it broke on Friday of the same week. Went off while cooking and nothing seems to make it come back on. It was fun while it lasted. Also the support website listed just goes to a 404 error page. At least I can still return it to Amazon.

We have used this item several times and, as yet, have not had one item come out crispy and not burned. Seems like by the time the fries are done and crispy, the ends are burned. Am going to try just a little longer with other foods and if I'm not satisfied not sure what I will do other than send it back to Amazon (even if I don't get a refund). VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!!

I was so excited to receive my airfryer... after over 5 hours of heating it the plastic smell seemed to go away... tried to cook a chicken in it... burnt... ok tried fries on the fry setting... burnt.. not happy I returned

I RESEARCHED AIR FRYERS FOR QUITE AWHILE BEFORE BUYING ONE AND TALKED MYSELF OUT OF BUYING ONE SEVERAL TIMES. GLAD I FINALLY SAID YES TO MY ARGUMENTS THOUGH! I MADE A BAKED POTATO FIRST, THEN CRAB CAKES, FRIED CATFISH, SWEET POTATOES ,CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS AND TOMORROW PORK CHOPS! KIND OF A LEARNING CURVE TO SEE HOW YOUR APPLIANCE COOKS. KEEP A JOURNAL OF TEMPERATURES FOR YOUR PREFERENCE. ITS SUPER EASY TO CLEAN AND LOOKS GOOD ON THE COUNTER. NOT A LOT OF BUTTONS UNTIL YOU TURN IT ON AND THEN IT LOOKS LIKE COCKPIT CONTROLS! MY THREE FAVORITE APPLIANCES ARE MY AIR FRYER, CROCK POT, ELECTRIC GRILL AND INSTANT POT ...OK 4. HAPPY FRYING!

I heard so much about these things that I had to give it a try. The fact that this one has a Pre-Heat setting is what tipped the scales for me. That helps with the crisping of foods. We are a family of 5 and I got the 5.8qt. size fryer. It holds plenty, yet it has a low profile and fits under my kitchen cabinet. For those of you, like me, who were confused on what this appliance actually is; it’s really a counter-top convection oven. Not a “fryer”. It circulates hot air around your food. The result is nicely cooked veggies, seafood, etc. in a short amount of time. The veggies turn out great... similar to roasting but it takes a lot less time. Just toss your what you’re cooking lightly in olive oil and the machine does the rest. It’s also very easy to clean. The only thing I would improve is the release button on the basket... it’s a little tricky at first to get the hang of... but after a few surprise drops, I’m now trained to make sure it’s resting a counter before releasing the basket. We’re having fun with it so far. This would be a good appliance for very small apartments, motor homes, or boats because it can actually function as your main oven.

I received this air fryer a few months ago as my wife wanted one. She has tried a lot of ones on here but she always found fault with either them being too small or not powerful enough. She noticed many of them had baskets that the non stick flaked off just after a few uses so she has informed me that this one has a great coating. I think it may be ceramic but anyway she says it is a breeze to clean.

She thought it was making weird noises so she contacted Customer Support and within a few hours she had a response. They asked her to video tape the unit in operation and once reviewing the video they got right back to her and said it was normal so we know they stand behind their products.

My wife uses it every day making bacon, sausage and home fries for breakfast and many scrumptious meals.

We get the frozen battered haddock fillets so on Fridays we make our fish fry and it cooks in half the time of the oven.

She made bacon wrapped pork tenderloin and bacon wrapped fillet mignon and they came out crispy on the outside and juicy inside.

I have posted a picture of our last nights dinner. She put a dry rub on the wings and cooked with fries and they too came out crispy and juicy and the fries were nice and crunchy but fluffy inside.

I am so glad she kept trying fryers til she got the one that is the best available.

I really do recommend purchasing this air fryer. They do have a smaller version but we find this size is good especially if we get company.

Great air fryer!!

Opened box on Saturday night ... added Apple Pies Sunda morning (10mins @ 350) and after 2 mins it quite and will not turn back on. I’m very upset with the price I paid and the other reviews.

Not too pleased with the results

stopped working after 2 uses and I left a bad review. Customer service contacted me immediately and sent me a new one. Hopefully this one will work longer. It does an awesome job of cooking food and easy to clean. Good customer service. Would recommend

I'm sorry to say I'll have to change my review from 5 Stars to One Star. I had learned to cook many different foods in my Cosori Air Fryer. I have bragged to my cooking friends and relatives about how good the food was when cooked in the Cosori. My daughter from TN visited us today and I was showing off demonstrating how to use the Cosori when the heating element in the Cosori quit. The fan started blowing cold air. My husband and I were cooking with this Air Fryer almost everyday. I loved the foods I had learned to cook in my Cosori. I am extremely disappointed that it only worked for four months. I'll have to try another brand of Air Fryer.

This product has excellent reviews and I would love to believe that my order is not defective. I saved money and waited for long until they discounted this air fryer but was slightly disappointed. I'm having the same issue as one of the reviews mentioned that it has a burning plastic smell while operating. It's still my first try and will keep trying it for a few times and see how it goes.

We loved how the product worked the first two times we used it but it stopped working after we preheated it to cook with it our third time. After only having it a week we had friends over, tried to cook wings and the air fryer stopped working after a few minutes. It acted as if the timer went off and it completed the cooking process and would not restart. After troubleshooting it would turn on and immediately turn off. We even tried waiting a day and re try it but it did the same thing. Product is being returned and replaced so hopefully it will work next time around.

***Update***
We received our replacement quickly and absolutely love this airfryer! It does seem to cook a couple of minutes quicker than the recommended times for air fryers which is nice. It's been a few months and we haven't had any problems with it.

We loved how the product worked the first two times we used it but it stopped working after we preheated it to cook with it our third time. After only having it a week we had friends over, tried to cook wings and the air fryer stopped working after a few minutes. It acted as if the timer went off and it completed the cooking process and would not restart. After troubleshooting it would turn on and immediately turn off. We even tried waiting a day and re try it but it did the same thing. Product is being returned and replaced so hopefully it will work next time around. ***Update*** We received our replacement quickly and absolutely love this airfryer!

I'll admit that the only reason I bought this, is because several people told me that air fryers make great steaks. I love a good steak, and have never been satisfied with any that I've made indoors. Every recipe I've seen says to cook steak at 400, but I usually cook very thick, 1Lb Ribeyes, and that seems to dry it a bit too much on the outside, while leaving the middle undone, so I reduced the temperature to 380 and slightly increased the cook time, and it came out perfect! Of course, the thickness of your steak is going to make a difference, so experiment a little! I simply marinated in McCormick's Garlic, Herb & Wine marinade and had the best homemade ribeye I've ever eaten. I have only had the thing a week so far, but have made steak 3 times, taquitos, frozen corn dog mini's, and frozen pre-breaded okra. The okra didn't turn out so good, so I'll need to experiment a bit more with that, but everything else was great. I read that spritzing a little oil on the okra first will have it coming out just perfect. I love that the flavor is sealed, foods are perfectly cooked on the outside and crisp when they are supposed to be crisp (like the corn dogs and taquitos), but not dried out on the inside. It is my first air fryer, but I believe I made the right choice going with the Cosori. It is super easy to use and super easy to clean. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this brand again!

Waste of money, giant piece of crap!! WILL NEVER BUY THIS PRODUCT AGAIN!!

Arrived on time. Tried it that night. Made excellent breaded pork chops (see picture). My only concern is that there is a rattling noise that gets progressively louder and then abruptly stops (sounds like a loose part of some sort). I did line the outer basket with aluminum foil but I don't think that caused the noise. Overall, I can see myself using this for many years to come. The chops came out juicy and crispy as if I had deep fried them, with the satisfaction of knowing that it's healthier to some extent. For those that bought this, is the noise in my video normal or do I have a defective unit? I don't really mind the noise I'm just scared that it will break down in the future or heavens forbid catch fire. 5 stars if it weren't for the noise. Update 2/1/2019: Arovast reached out to me via personal message and asked me to send a video of the appliance directly to them for analysis. It turns out that the unit indeed had an issue. I was ordered a replacement unit free of charge within 24 hours! Shirley was excellent in handling the issue and bringing a swift resolution. Great customer service and great appliance, I will be sure to spread the word!

Used it once and the touch screen did not work again until after cooling down. After the second use the heating element does not work anymore. Was looking forward to using this often but not now. Hoping customer service is awesome when I call to talk about this. Update..... Cosori customer support is wonderful! They stand behind their product. They are sending a new one and don’t want the other in return. No hassle! I even got a follow up call and email to see if there was anything else they can do. Thank you Jubilee!

I’ve used it twice...so still getting used to it. Last night I made chicken thighs and they took much longer to reach the proper temp than the recipe had called for and I had brought them close to room temp. Not quite sure how to get the crispness on veggies like broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Have to adjust to learning curve. Appreciate your interest.

I ordered this a week ago after looking and reading tons of different reviews about air fryers, asking what friends thought about theirs and what kind they had on FB, and even signed up for consumer reports to find the "very best one". I have a 1930 house and anything that is going to "take up space" has to earn its spot, while doing all of this research I still didn't like the egg shape of the other air fryers....then pops up this beautiful Cosori!! After reading all the reviews and showing my husband we were sold!! I received it last Thursday and have used it everyday since. It cooks perfectly, noise level is low, and is it gorgeous on my countertop. I'm a person that doesn't like anything sitting out, but I love walking into my kitchen and seeing it. I am also not a person that leaves reviews and here I am leaving my first review. I would definitely buy this again and have already started tell all my friends and some strangers about this beauty. I wish I would have known about Cosori before I bought my Instant Pot. Thank you Cosori for a well made, and thinking out of the box (or egg) design.

I have shopped around air fryer for quite some time. I bought crux 5.3 exclusive for Macy but I had to return it due to the quality/ size concern. Eventually going back to my favorite pressure cooker brand cosori and I found this widget. A bit bigger than I used to have, voltage is my main concern, but it square out when I actually used it. Fried Chickens received compliments from my wife and daughter. Easy to use, touch screen, sleek design and etc. a bit pricey but you pay for it for your family safety and food presentation.... now I know why people give 5 stars to this widget... I measure the basket for you guys , 9” x 9.5”. Good size for anything, no electric issue... well done cosori team!

Works amazingly well! I've had another air fryer, but it's nothing compared to this one. Cooked my fries within 25 min, crispy, and tasty. My only complaint is the basket is difficult to dislodge from the pan itself, and I've almost dropped it as a result (why I gave 4 stars instead 5). They need to work on a better means of releasing the basket so we can wash it, and retrieve the food from it. Other than that, I'm very happy with my purchase. I've already registered for the warranty to get the extra year. Very satisfied customer.

As a working parent, I don’t have an hour to spend in the kitchen preparing dinner, nor do I particularly enjoy cooking. Yet I want to provide a good nutritious meal for my child. I bought an instant pot thinking it’ll reduce my dinner prep times, but most of the recipes have a long list of ingredients that I don’t have time for ....so when I received this air fryer and the recipe book with super easy instructions and fewer than 10 ingredients needed, I was overjoyed. So far I have tried frozen chicken nuggets, frozen sweet potato fries, grilled cheese sandwich and teriyaki salmon. My daughter loves every dish made in it! I couldn’t be happier.

At the end of December I finally decided to purchase an air fryer. After looking at several I decided on the Cosori 5.8 qt. Everything I have tried in the Cosori, frozen french fries, onion rings, breaded okra, beer battered fish, chicken nuggets, fresh salmon, tater tots, and pepper poppers, have turned out crispy and delicious. I find it very easy to use. It has several presets as well as manual controls. I like the shake reminder when using the frozen preset and that it turns off when you pull out to shake and back on when you return the basket. The square basket allows everything to fit inside nicely and clean up is a breeze. The size of this fryer is too large to leave out on my kitchen counter but it is easy to lift in and out of my pantry when needed. I was impressed that they offered a two year warranty, tells me they stand behind what they are selling and I am hoping if I ever have a problem their "Need Help? Talk To Us! statement on the very nice recipe booklet I received with customer service information will prove to be as helpful as the statement sounds. I am not sure why it took me so long to take the air fryer plunge, but I am glad I chose the 5.8 qt. Cosori air fryer and hope it continues to prove to be an excellent decision and purchase on my part.

I found the Fryer of my dreams!!! IS that even a thing? Okay... maybe not! :) I own a smaller air fryer and love it to pieces and was looking for a larger model.... I bought a different one before this one and it was a nightmare.... So I looked up some more info on Air Fryers and came across this Cosori model. Bought it and have loved it since I took it out of the box! Soooo Easy to Use and soooo Easy to clean too! I've cooked 40lbs. of Chicken Wings in it since I got it. Italian Sausages, Hamburgers, Fresh French Fries, Cornish Hens, Biscuits, Eggs, Stuffed Mushrooms, Pizza, tater tots, Fish, I can go on... I really use this machine a lot... In fact, I use this and my other Fryer when making meals for my family... Quick and easy to do. I haven't had any issues with it... it turns on easily, cooks quickly, and clean up is a breeze... My disabled husband who only has use of one hand can use it easily as well... He even cleans it without a problem... One of the Best Investments I ever made in a kitchen appliance!

First off, I absolutely hate cooking. I don't like the mess. It takes too much time. My recipes never turn out like they show in the cookbooks...and my cooking is pretty awful. I got the Cosori Air Fryer a couple of weeks ago, and I've been happily cooking every day, multiple times a day since.

You just pull it out of the box, and it's ready to go. The detachable basket and pan are all that needed cleaning in soapy water before adding food. The buttons are self-explanatory. You've got a snowflake for frozen foods, fries for fries, bacon for bacon, and also Preheat and Keep Warm.

When I first turned it on, I wasn't sure what to expect. I wondered if it was going to get hot and scorch my counter (or me). I thought it would be noisy. It was none of those things. It does get a little warm on the outside but not hot like an oven. You do need to be careful when you're pulling the basket out or any food from inside the fryer because it's deceiving that it works so quickly and gets food that hot that fast. As for noise, you can hear the air moving, but I wouldn't call it noisy. My Alexa is near the air fryer, and the Alexa hears me just fine when I'm talking while the air fryer is running. Also, since my Alexa is near the air fryer, you can tell that the air fryer doesn't get too hot or spit things at you or I wouldn't have the Alexa there.

The air fryer looks great on my counter too. It's already become a conversation piece in my kitchen. I had family over this weekend, and they wanted to know what it was. I put on a kitchen demo of sorts, and everyone stood around and watched, then ate all of the food (not a crumb left on the plates!), and then they said they needed to get an air fryer too.

So far, I've tried recipes in the included recipe book as well as a recipe for chicken fried steak in an air fryer cookbook I purchased separately. What's great about the cookbook included in the Cosori air fryer is that each recipe has a picture with it, and the ingredients aren't intimidating to those of you like me who don't care for cooking. Most recipes call for ingredients you've actually heard of and probably have in your pantry -- a real plus for me because I also hate wandering around in a grocery store searching for a random ingredient I'll only use once.

The very first recipe I tried was sweet potato fries in the included Cosori cookbook. I like my fries a little crunchy, so I probably could have left them in the air fryer a few minutes longer than the recipe called for, but they were still delicious. Definitely the best sweet potato fries I've ever had.

For fun, I then threw in some frozen okra I had bought in the freezer section. I bought a water bottle and filled it with olive oil, so all I did was lightly squirt the olive oil on the okra while in the air fryer basket and then just pushed the snowflake button. The okra came out so crunchy, just the way I like it. And I couldn't believe it had gone from frozen to crispy crunchy in just a matter of minutes. Most of them were golden brown, but I could tell the ones that I had missed when I sprayed the okra with the olive oil. Those were white -- still crunchy and tasted fine, but a weird-looking white. I've since bought a pressurized oil sprayer can that's specifically for spraying olive oil, and it works much better at spraying everything evenly than my plastic water bottle.

Same night and onto my third recipe: chicken fried steak. Now, this recipe wasn't in the incuded Cosori cookbook. This particular cookbook didn't have a picture, so I wasn't at all sure how it would turn out. It's so good, I've cooked it twice in three nights.

That night's entire meal was cooked in the air fryer: sweet potato fries, frozen-turned-air fried okra, and chicken fried steak. It felt like an elaborate meal with hardly any time invested, and my kitchen wasn't a disaster after cooking all of that. I only had a few plates and a couple of bowls that I'd used instead of pots and pans and baking dishes all piled up on my counter with a greasy stove to clean.

The next day, I tried the mozzarella cheese sticks in the included Cosori cookbook. I totally botched this recipe, using baking soda instead of cornstarch. Did I mention how bad I am at cooking? Even so, the mozzarella sticks worked out okay (but not great, which was likely my own fault). They crisped up nicely and quickly. They just didn't look a thing like the picture in the recipe book. I would have also liked the cheese to be more melted on the inside. It seemed like the outside was really crispy and the inside wasn't really melted. This could all be because of my using the wrong ingredient, so I'll give it another shot because, even with the wrong ingredient, they weren't bad. They didn't taste like mozzarella cheese sticks, but they were still good.

For dinner, I cooked the kids grilled cheese sandwiches also using the included cookbook. These didn't turn out as expected. At least I used the right ingredients this time. But the cheese wasn't gooey like it would be if you cooked it on the stove. If I had doubled the amount of cheese the recipe called for it would probably be perfect. The bread was golden brown, though. It was a bit of a pain to have to melt butter on the stove, then brush it onto the bread, then grate cheese before putting it into the air fryer. I can get a grilled cheese sandwich in a pan quicker than that, but it was still fun to try. I'll try the recipe again with more cheese. I think it's a recipe I can tinker with to make perfect.

I then tried the pizza from the Cosori recipe book. I didn't use pizza dough. I prefer pita bread. I followed the instructions as if it was pizza dough, which means you preheat the air fryer, brush your crust with olive oil, and then put it in the air fryer at 320 for five minutes. Then you take it out to add toppings. On mine, I put pizza sauce, pepperoni, mozzarella, and parmesan. Pop it back into the air fryer for another five minutes at 320, and it's done. It was so good. I'll be making another for lunch. The only downside was having to cook one at a time because I couldn't fit two pieces of pita bread in the basket together.

My most-recent recipe to try is the coconut shrimp, which is also in the cookbook that comes with the air fryer. What would normally be a giant mess of the kitchen was only three bowls to dredge the coconut shrimp and then a plate to put them on. You preheat the air fryer while you're getting everything ready, and then pop the shrimp in for eight minutes. They were very tasty, but I'll add more coconut in my dredge next time than the recipe calls for. The recipe was good, but I couldn't really taste the coconut.

I keep picking out new recipes to try in the cookbook, which is a first for me with my loathe of cooking. I've included pictures of the country fried steak, pizza, grilled cheese, mozzarella sticks, and coconut shrimp that I've made so far.

Even owning the 5.8 quart, you have to get used to cooking in batches. I wanted to make four chicken fried steaks that first night, but there was only room for two. Not a big deal. You just have to cook in batches. Making three pita bread pizzas, I just had to make each one separately since I could only fit one round piece of pita in at a time. For the grilled cheese sandwiches, two actually fit into the air fryer at the same time.

Like I said before, the cookbook that comes with the air fryer is full of pictures. It also has more than 100 pages of recipes. For example, you'll find recipes for strawberry cream scones, stuffed french toast, BBQ bacon, ribeye, meatballs, fried chicken, crab cakes, wings, pigs in a blanket, french fries, onion rings, roasted corn, cheddar buttermilk biscuits, cinnamon rolls, pound cake, and orange cranberry muffins. I would be lost without the cookbook. It also tells you exactly which button to push on the air fryer too, so you're learning about how to use your air fryer while you're actually cooking instead of having to read an instruction manual cover to cover before you even have enough confidence to cook something.

I mentioned not having many dishes to clean after using the air fryer. What I love most about cleanup is how easy the air fryer itself is to clean. Everything just slides off of it. I'm barely scrubbing it, and it's clean. I know the description says it's dishwasher safe, but I just wash it in the sink because there's nothing ever dried on and stuck to it. I love how I can put a little soap on it, and it's clean and ready for my next recipe. The water beads on it, so it dries really fast.

The only negative about the air fryer is probably my own impatience with one of the controls. The temp/time is shared by one button. If you have a recipe that calls for you to adjust the temp and/or time, you have to toggle the button. It starts with temp, so if you need to change how long to keep something in, you hit the temp/time button again. Somehow, I keep managing to hit time when I mean temp and vice versa.

Also, the air fryer cuts off when you pull the basket out, just as it should so it's not running while there's nothing in the bottom. When you pop the basket back in, it defaults back to the original temp and time settings when you turn it on, not what you last had on there. It would be nice if it remembered what your setting was 5 minutes before. For example, the other night when I had to make the pizzas in batches, I had to run the air fryer 5 minutes for one crust, then five minutes for the next, and so on. Every time, I had to reset the time and temp when I pulled a crust out. That's when I began noticing how bad I was at toggling the temp/time button I mentioned above.

Both the time/temp button being shared and the air fryer not remembering your last time/temp are extremely minor downsides. But they're the only negatives I could think of because this air fryer has quickly become my favorite kitchen appliance.

I have never had any experience with an air fryer, so I have nothing to compare the Cosori air fryer against. But I did my research. read the reviews, watched videos, and crossed my fingers that I was buying the right one. I couldn't have made a better choice. I'm actually excited to cook for the first time ever. Tomorrow on the breakfast menu: french toast sticks!

Definitely the best sweet potato fries I've ever had. For fun, I then threw in some frozen okra I had bought in the freezer section. I bought a water bottle and filled it with olive oil, so all I did was lightly squirt the olive oil on the okra while in the air fryer basket and then just pushed the snowflake button. The okra came out so crunchy, just the way I like it. And I couldn't believe it had gone from frozen to crispy crunchy in just a matter of minutes. Most of them were golden brown, but I could tell the ones that I had missed when I sprayed the okra with the olive oil. Those were white -- still crunchy and tasted fine, but a weird-looking white. I've since bought a pressurized oil sprayer can that's specifically for spraying olive oil, and it works much better at spraying everything evenly than my plastic water bottle. Same night and onto my third recipe: chicken fried steak. Now, this recipe wasn't in the incuded Cosori cookbook. This particular cookbook didn't have a picture, so I wasn't at all sure how it would turn out. It's so good, I've cooked it twice in three nights. That night's entire meal was cooked in the air fryer: sweet potato fries, frozen-turned-air fried okra, and chicken fried steak. It felt like an elaborate meal with hardly any time invested, and my kitchen wasn't a disaster after cooking all of that. I only had a few plates and a couple of bowls that I'd used instead of pots and pans and baking dishes all piled up on my counter with a greasy stove to clean. The next day, I tried the mozzarella cheese sticks in the included Cosori cookbook. I totally botched this recipe, using baking soda instead of cornstarch. Did I mention how bad I am at cooking? Even so, the mozzarella sticks worked out okay (but not great, which was likely my own fault). They crisped up nicely and quickly. They just didn't look a thing like the picture in the recipe book. I would have also liked the cheese to be more melted on the inside. It seemed like the outside was really crispy and the inside wasn't really melted. This could all be because of my using the wrong ingredient, so I'll give it another shot because, even with the wrong ingredient, they weren't bad. They didn't taste like mozzarella cheese sticks, but they were still good. For dinner, I cooked the kids grilled cheese sandwiches also using the included cookbook. These didn't turn out as expected. At least I used the right ingredients this time. But the cheese wasn't gooey like it would be if you cooked it on the stove. If I had doubled the amount of cheese the recipe called for it would probably be perfect. The bread was golden brown, though. It was a bit of a pain to have to melt butter on the stove, then brush it onto the bread, then grate cheese before putting it into the air fryer. I can get a grilled cheese sandwich in a pan quicker than that, but it was still fun to try. I'll try the recipe again with more cheese. I think it's a recipe I can tinker with to make perfect. I then tried the pizza from the Cosori recipe book. I didn't use pizza dough. I prefer pita bread. I followed the instructions as if it was pizza dough, which means you preheat the air fryer, brush your crust with olive oil, and then put it in the air fryer at 320 for five minutes. Then you take it out to add toppings. On mine, I put pizza sauce, pepperoni, mozzarella, and parmesan. Pop it back into the air fryer for another five minutes at 320, and it's done. It was so good. I'll be making another for lunch. The only downside was having to cook one at a time because I couldn't fit two pieces of pita bread in the basket together. My most-recent recipe to try is the coconut shrimp, which is also in the cookbook that comes with the air fryer. What would normally be a giant mess of the kitchen was only three bowls to dredge the coconut shrimp and then a plate to put them on. You preheat the air fryer while you're getting everything ready, and then pop the shrimp in for eight minutes. They were very tasty, but I'll add more coconut in my dredge next time than the recipe calls for. The recipe was good, but I couldn't really taste the coconut. I keep picking out new recipes to try in the cookbook, which is a first for me with my loathe of cooking. I've included pictures of the country fried steak, pizza, grilled cheese, mozzarella sticks, and coconut shrimp that I've made so far. Even owning the 5.8 quart, you have to get used to cooking in batches. I wanted to make four chicken fried steaks that first night, but there was only room for two. Not a big deal. You just have to cook in batches. Making three pita bread pizzas, I just had to make each one separately since I could only fit one round piece of pita in at a time. For the grilled cheese sandwiches, two actually fit into the air fryer at the same time. Like I said before, the cookbook that comes with the air fryer is full of pictures. It also has more than 100 pages of recipes. For example, you'll find recipes for strawberry cream scones, stuffed french toast, BBQ bacon, ribeye, meatballs, fried chicken, crab cakes, wings, pigs in a blanket, french fries, onion rings, roasted corn, cheddar buttermilk biscuits, cinnamon rolls, pound cake, and orange cranberry muffins. I would be lost without the cookbook. It also tells you exactly which button to push on the air fryer too, so you're learning about how to use your air fryer while you're actually cooking instead of having to read an instruction manual cover to cover before you even have enough confidence to cook something. I mentioned not having many dishes to clean after using the air fryer. What I love most about cleanup is how easy the air fryer itself is to clean. Everything just slides off of it. I'm barely scrubbing it, and it's clean. I know the description says it's dishwasher safe, but I just wash it in the sink because there's nothing ever dried on and stuck to it. I love how I can put a little soap on it, and it's clean and ready for my next recipe. The water beads on it, so it dries really fast. The only negative about the air fryer is probably my own impatience with one of the controls. The temp/time is shared by one button. If you have a recipe that calls for you to adjust the temp and/or time, you have to toggle the button. It starts with temp, so if you need to change how long to keep something in, you hit the temp/time button again. Somehow, I keep managing to hit time when I mean temp and vice versa. Also, the air fryer cuts off when you pull the basket out, just as it should so it's not running while there's nothing in the bottom. When you pop the basket back in, it defaults back to the original temp and time settings when you turn it on, not what you last had on there. It would be nice if it remembered what your setting was 5 minutes before. For example, the other night when I had to make the pizzas in batches, I had to run the air fryer 5 minutes for one crust, then five minutes for the next, and so on. Every time, I had to reset the time and temp when I pulled a crust out. That's when I began noticing how bad I was at toggling the temp/time button I mentioned above. Both the time/temp button being shared and the air fryer not remembering your last time/temp are extremely minor downsides. But they're the only negatives I could think of because this air fryer has quickly become my favorite kitchen appliance. I have never had any experience with an air fryer, so I have nothing to compare the Cosori air fryer against. But I did my research. read the reviews, watched videos, and crossed my fingers that I was buying the right one. I couldn't have made a better choice. I'm actually excited to cook for the first time ever. Tomorrow on the breakfast menu: french toast sticks!

Did not work right out of the box. It would not shut off when you removed the tray.you had to hit pause to shut it off. It's so much trouble to return I worked on the part that worked the switch and with a little modification I made it work. Just shows you thing are not tested before boxed. I'm very disappointed that I had to work on it to make it work right. And you can't go by the recipes. If you do you will burn everything. So play with it to find the right temp. and time. I'll keep working on it. .

I chose this particular air fryer over hundreds offered on Amazon. Features that were the most important to me were the number of presets (counting defrost) (12), the warranty (1 yr), Cosori accessories, and ease of use. It is easy to clean in the dishwasher, and the preset settings mean that I don't have to calculate time or temperature. But it's also easy to add time or subtract it if you need to. The night I received my air fryer, I made the most amazing steaks that were so tender and moist inside! Since then, I have made Cornish hens, BBQ ribs, blueberry muffins, tater tots, and many other dishes. The fryer is not heavy and it is not loud when in use. Do yourself a favor and buy this!

So, I've only cooked one thing in this so far, but it was steak and steak was what I bought this cooker for specifically. I cooked a decent sized ribeye and it was FANTASTIC! Well equal to anything I've cooked in an oven, stove top, or grill, but honestly also equal to steaks from most restaurants. The steak was tender, moist, evenly cooked and all around delicious. Winner, winner, steak dinner!

I never write reviews, but in this case I will. This Cosori air fryer is a super nice fryer. It's easy to use and the clean up is so easy. I use it almost every day. I work long hours, this makes My time cooking so much quicker. Great Product.

I love how easy it is to use and the fact that I use it on a daily basis whether I'm making the kids cheese fries for a snack, potato skins, meatballs, potatoes, Chicken fingers, etc! I'm still finding new things to cook. The only con is I had to reconfigure some of my own personal recipes to make sure chicken or hamburger meat doesnt get dried out. I still love it. Best money I've ever spent on a counter appliance. It definitely has plenty of room for a family of 4. I made 4 good size stuffed chicken breast at one time. I can make 20 med/ large meatballs at one time just to give you a general idea of how big and deep it is. Buy it you wont regret it!

This is the second air fryer I have purchase, other manuf. did not work so order this one. The clear button should be removed and redone by Cosori. T-Fal has a better way to separate pan. Think how this is manuf. could be a lot better am sure it will break sometime soon the way it is made. Also the pictures show bread and cakes able to be baked, yet not recipes are in enclosed recipe book or are any on their website. Nor have I found on any air fryer cookbooks for sale.

This air fryer is awesome! I need a large basket for walleye and this is the largest I could find (10x10), which was a selling point. However, there are so many benefits! The programmed options, the ease of cleaning, the safety button on the basket, the price, just to name a few. I've only had it a few days and I've already made a home for it on my counter and replaced my smaller, less versatile Phillip's air fryer with this dynamo. I'll keep the other one for things like fries or potatoes, while using this one for the main items. I haven't looked at the recipe book but I'm going to do so soon. One more thing, I shop on Amazon very often and this is one of the few reviews I feel compelled to write.

I love this air fryer! I use it to make hamburgers, chicken wings, sausages, bacon, to cook vegetables, and to reheat already cooked foods. I do a lot of grilling in the summer but I don't like cooking meat indoors because of the smoke and grease that gets everywhere. This air fryer does not smoke and grease does not escape. Everything I have made so far has come out very well cooked and delicious. It's also very fast. I have no complaints so far and I'm very glad I got this air fryer.

I love this product. I have tried several recipes & they all came out great with a few little common sense tweeks here & their. I was a little leary about having to cook in batches but it cooks so fast that it is an non issue

My Wife and I purchased the Air Fryer and received it Sunday. So far we have only used it twice, but so far it is great! We cooked Crab Cakes last night with some tater tots and biscuits this morning for breakfast. Really easy to use and easy to clean. So far we both love it. Update We have had it a few weeks now and continue to enjoy it. We did buy some accessories that work, but I wish that there were some designed specifically for the 5.8 QT Air fryer. These were made for both which means they are really too small to take advantage of the 5.8 QT volume. They only "kind of" work. We still love the fryer. That is why I did not change the star rating. But I really would like to see some specific accessories designed for the increased volume of this fryer.

I've had this about a week. I've made cake, sweet potato fries, wings and chicken thighs. I love how amazingly crisp and juicy everything is! The presets are extremely accurate and is a great size for 4 good size thighs or 12 wings.
