Design - It may be small for larger families but its compact size is perfect for me and my partner, always does not take up a lot of the counter space. Its a sleek design which is stainless steel and we got the grey/black color.
Usage - It is quite easy to use, it already has pre set functions for temperatures & times for some items, which makes it convenient to use. The display is big enough to see how much time is remaining for an item to be cooked, etc.
Cleaning - The cleaning of the air-fryer is what held me not buying one for the longest time, but with this air fryer we don't have to worry about that. The basket and the tray inside are easy to clean and are dishwasher friendly and the food barely ever sticks to the bottom, making it very smooth to just pop in to the dishwasher.
Overall, this is a great product for the price its at, it has even made baking and reheating foods so much easier for us! It is a fantastic investment for those looking for quick cooking without having to use too much oil/butter on their dishes. A great addition to the kitchen!
Food experimentation was successful each time. The lamb chops came out excellent although I would try a lower temperature to begin the cooking process and finish it with the preset temperature at a shorter interval. The steak fries was also an excellent tester that passed the experimentation. The giant prawns cooked to the exact specification of tenderness on the preset temperature for seafood. This appliance is powerful from the standpoint of its cooking ability. I can put the ingredients in an 20-30 minutes later its done to the perfection that I require without having to spare a moment to keep an eye on it while I am busy with another task.
I especially enjoy the fact that it is an easy to clean and maintain kitchen appliance. The basket is easy to clean even after it cools down and the crustiness from the food hardens. A quick soak in warm soapy water after the basket cools down and soft sponge does the trick. No residue of smell left in the pan at all. The inner housing can be easily wiped down with a damp cloth when the entire appliance cools down makes for easy maintenance - no more than 1 minute.
It does make a huge difference in the prep and cooking when you need a quick and healthy meal after a long day of work. The COSORI 5 quart was the best after looking at a plethora of other air fryers and also having tested with my sister's (not COSORI brand). The cooking basket height and width is excellent - spacious cooking, especially if you like pans that give you room to maneuver the ingredients. The overall size of the appliance for the countertop would be slightly larger for a small kitchen with less countertop space but if you have room to spare you would hardly notice it taking up room; but for what this appliance does, I would say that the space issue becomes a non-issue.
The initial and subsequent cooking in the air fryer did not yield an odd smell that you would normally get from non-stick surfaces. I did follow the suggestion to preheat and I did it with a bowl of water-vinegar solution in the air fryer for about 20 min cycle two times. The price point for this appliance was reasonable especially for what you are getting. HIGHLY recommend this particular model of COSORI.

Facile à nettoyer, en un coup d'éponge plus aucun résidu.
Il remplace bien souvent mon four qui consomme plus.
I must say it's an absolute gem so far as it cooks food in half the the time of my old Tefal pad airfryer. I did some chicken thighs in about 14mins (10 min press and I added 4 to brown it a bit more). I cooked some sausages from frozen in 10 mins and added an extra 3 mins to get them brown). This morning I boiled some eggs in 10 mins so no steamy kitchen and no need to watch the pot.
The glass tempered screen on the top is clear and pretty idiot proof imho but some may think differently. The presets can be amended as you can alter the temperature and the time which is excellent so there's plenty of flexibility.
The overall design is very pleasing to the eye and differs from the usual Air fryer styles which are a bit ugly but that's just me.
The tray is nice and solid and fits nice and easy without any fuss. The fact that the pan is square is a bonus especially when cooking a joint. Also cleaning it it with a sponge and soap and water is a 2 minute job so no hassle there.
The preheat is 4 mins but you can alter it so not really a problem but you can go manual and not bother with a preheat.
I will be cooking a couple of rump steaks later tonight so I may report back on how it went. I followed an online recipe and ignored the preset so it cooked a much lower temperature and for longer. FOLLOWUP: The steak looked and tasted great however next time I will try the preset which a higher temperature was only 6 mins.
I will be putting it to the test with a whole chicken come the weekend so wish me luck!
FOLLOW UP: The medium chicken from Aldi fitted nicely in the tray and after seasoning I gave it 60 mins in the Cosori with a turnover after 30 mins. I think I could have gotten away with 45 mins but I wanted to be sure it was cooked. The chicken tasted great nice and soft and juicy and the missus said it was the best meal I’ve made her.
Next on my list is a leg of lamb. FOLLOW UP: The 1.5 kg leg of lamb fitted nicely in the tray as I looked for a more square piece with less bone. After defrosting it I seasoned it with 2 tablespoons of oil, salt and pepper, garlic powder and mixed herbs. I left it covered for a few hours in the fridge. And took it out an hour prior to cooking to get it to room temperature. I set it at 180c for 20mins then turned it over and gave it another 40 mins. I like it well done and checked it with a knife. I let it rest for 10-15mins and served it with steamed veggies. The missus gave me 10/10 as it was well cooked, tender and juicy. Another great result and it seems I’m now cooking every Sunday.
it comes with a 2 year warranty, manual, recipe book and access to the app which has more recipes in it. Also there's a FB community and oodles of recipes online.
Overall for the price you will not be disappointed as I certainly wasn't.
When it's back in stock buy it!
- Easy to clean (when new, the non-stick is super easy to clean although you do need to be careful to get in around those four little rubber grippers on the crisper tray
- Pre-heats REALLY quickly: ready to go in four minutes, and if you are in a real hurry you can put your food straight in while it pre-heats and it's starting to warm up within a minute or two
- The outside and cupboard I have it in stays nice and cool – the outside doesn't heat up too much or seem dangerously hot anywhere.
- It does cook things quickly: much quicker than my oven. So it saves me time and (some) electricity costs.
- It makes really nice fries and crispy things, but I've found that it really is crucial to shake/flip things. Anywhere items are touching they will not crispen up, so you need to shake and turn throughout the cooking period: at least once but more is better.
- The beep is a good volume: not crazy loud, but loud enough to hear clearly (unlike my new oven!)
- The display is nice and clear and bright.
- The crisper tray makes a big difference because hot air can get underneath the food. I tried using paper air fryer liners, and they do save cleaning the non-stick drawer and crisper tray, but the food does not crispen up as well.
- It's really not too noisy. It does make some noise, but I'd read about noisy air fryers and was fearing the worst. This is not the noisiest appliance in my kitchen and doesn’t bother me when it is on.
- Like other air fryers, it isn't, of course, really frying. It's like a really good fan oven, so you can make really good oven chips and crispen things up like you could in a great oven, but it's obviously not really "frying" them like advertising wants you to think!
The “Could be Even Better”:
- I haven't used any of the "programmes" so far. The only one I went to try (chips) the temperature and time were very different from what the pack said and what I wanted. I just set the temperature and time each time I cook something, which is really quick to do.
- Because there's no window, to check on your food you need to pull the drawer out, and this cancels the Shake function, which means a quick check early on might mean you then don't get the reminder to shake half way through
- I really wish it showed seconds on the timer, not just minutes. I see it's on "1" and think, "Great, it's nearly done, I'll stand by it and get my food as soon as it stops", and that is the longest one minute of the day! If I knew it had 60s left I'd get something else done while it finishes, whereas if it said "10s to go" I'd know I could walk over and get my food as the beeps start. I'd much rather they dropped the cooking "programmes" that rarely match what I want and instead added seconds digits to the timer.
- The mechanism that locks the drawer in place is sufficiently stiff that when you put the drawer back in, in order to push it in far enough to get cooking to start again the whole machine tends to slide back on the shelf. The drawer mechanism is too stiff.
- After it's finished, the lights on the display go off and sometimes the power button stays orange. I instinctively press that to get the other controls to light up but instead it turns it off! The whole off/orange/bright colour scheme of the buttons doesn't feel intuitive to me at all.
- My kids figure the air fryer is like an oven so they don't need to clean it after use. I go to use it and find it's got fat/oil and food bits left in it quite regularly!
This is our first air fryer, and both my wife and I really like it.
