Love it! So easy to use and really easy to clean too!
Love it! So easy to use and really easy to clean too!
This is the best kitchen appliance I have bought, being a single person it makes cooking for one so easy. I love my air fryer!
We have rarely used the oven since getting this air fryer, it cooks quickly and crisps up nicely. So far really pleased with it.
Was a gift for my older sister living on her own. It’s made life easier because it’s quick easy to use, easy to clean and cheaper than an ove

Seems to be a great bit of kit , takes some use to get used to , many trial and error cooking at first , but once you get an idea of how to adjust temps and times it’s great , you will never fit a 3 course meal in it but for cooking , pies , burgers , sausages , chips , even small pizzas ect it’s great in both energy and time savings , no need to put a huge oven or grill on for cooking simple things .
Was very unsure about buying an air fryer but had heard good things about them. Spent hours researching them. Finally chose this one and so far I’m loving it!
I don’t deep fry because of the mess, the cleaning, disposing properly of the oil etc.
Now I can make these foods without any hassle or mess and it’s cheaper to run.
So far have made scampi (frozen from shop), falafel (from a packet), gyozas (home made, bought the wrappers), frozen oven chips, and they’ve all been amazing. I’ve also cooked salmon and a jacket potato.
I love it, genuinely love it. (I also have very limited space on my kitchen side so it had to be good to earn the space). Had it for 2 weeks so can’t comment on how long it will last).

This air fryer is amazing. It heats up super quick and everything that comes our of it is evenly cooked and tastes great. Early on I cooked a bit of fillet steak and it was the best steak outside of a decent restaurant I have had. I often roast vegetables and cook salmon and its just perfect. My husband cooks chicken thighs and has definitely been converted as they come out juicy but crispy!
Its easy to use, the recipe book is good for reference while you’re getting used to it and it cleans up really well. Highly recommend this and a good size for a family.
We bought a cheap air fryer, which turned out to be useful but too small (8″ round basket). The Cosori with its 9″ square basket affords more flexibility without much more of a footprint. My wife is a fan of using it and I am a fan of her results. Basically, love it. As this is only our second Air Fryer, I can’t make comparative judgements but the main criticism I’ve come across is that it is difficult to clean. My wife and I both disagree. Clean it after each use with the rest of your washing-up and it’s a doddle. For comparisons, spend some time on YouTube.
I can’t say enough good things about this air fryer, I LOVE it! I used to have a circular one but this square model is SO much more practical. It heats up so quickly with the preheat function, the basket removes so you can just chuck the basket and holder into the dishwasher no problems. My favourite thing to use it for is roasted meat – especially a spatchcocked chicken in under an hour. It also uses 60% less energy than my oven so in this economic climate, it’s a no-brainer. It is fairly noisy though and make sure you have space around it so it has air circulation. Be careful of the baskets when removing food as they get VERY hot. 100% no regrets on this purchase, air fryers are worth the hype!

I bought a basic one first but found it was NOT big enough, so bought an AirFyer Oven with 3 shelves and a rotisserie. This is ok and I have kept it, but since having the Cosori I have not used it. You have to keep moving your shelves up and down, The Rotisserie is a pain with chicken sizes and also keeping the rotisserie turning with the chicken on it!
Then I thought I have really got to investigate before spending another 100 and over. After much reading and instigating, I found the Cosori.
First, make sure it’s big enough, this is the biggest one I found in BASKET SIZE. Not too high to store under my cupboards.
Second, make sure it has a basket that you can lift out to turn things and pour things like chips out of, also with a removal basket you can take the basket out for popping in the sink or the dishwasher. Some DO NOT have removal Baskets!
Third, make sure it’s SQUARE, why have a square bottom holder to put a ROUND basket in it? what a waste of space.
Make sure you can get it into your sink for easy cleaning. I wash mine every time I use it. I do not want smoke in my kitchen or a fire. Oh, do NOT use that spray in a can oil from the supermarket, because I have been told it damages your basket lining. I just use rapeseed oil in a spray bottle I bought on Amazon and also bought some of Amazons air fryer parchment liners.
The Cosori is brilliant. I use it most days, from Frozen Croissants for breakfast or for a cooked breakfast.
Lunch a quick easy to home bake quiche or a jacket potato ready to eat in 10 mins or a cheese toasty.
Bake a quick lemon cake with butter icing.
Supper, either BBQ ribs, Steak, Rib of lamb or even a jacket potato chilli.
It’s amazing what you can make with an Air Fryer.
Just think of it as a Fan Oven, but quicker. It comes with preset controls but also you can adjust the temperature and cooking time.
It’s great for just one person, like me or if grandchildren come and want BBQ Chicken wings, cheaper than McD’s & chips or jackets.
You will be amazed at what you can do with one. Lots of recipes on F.B or the internet.
I am much happier and less afraid of cooking, could only wish for easier instruction on cooking basic things like single eggs, a single chop, single pies from freezer or shelf, stews and basic meals, not fancy in ingredients or presentation, but plain and wholesome . Us old Batchelors do not know or understand these things
There is a rich market that you have the first opportunity to mine ,and with women’s equality, the market can only expand. The simple fact is women don’t cook for men anymore, rightly so, but leaves us needing help. you can take the market if you wish and the need is dire most divorced or single older men have not a clue and would jump at eating properly cooked tasty home cooked meals again. Just saying not preaching
The oven comes nicely packaged (Photo).
Everything is very well protected in transit.
Make sure you remove all packaging before use, don’t forget the piece of cardboard under the basket in the oven.
It comes with a good instruction booklet, a small recipe book and a 2 year warranty card. (Photo).
Quality wise, it feels very well made.
It is reasonably heavy and quite bulky in size.
I have mine permanently out. I don’t think it is ideal as something you store away in a cupboard and get out when needed.
Although I was tempted by the digital, touch button version of this oven. I’m pleased, I opted for this, the analogue version.
I much prefer the immediate temperature adjustment, by just turning the dial, either up or down.
Similarly, the cooking time can be altered by simply turning the timer dial.
It’s simplicity itself to use.
Set your temperature, then turn the timer dial to set the time.
The oven will then switch on, with both the orange and green light on (Photo).
The green light will go out when the temperature has been reached.
The oven will switch itself off when the timer reaches zero and ‘pings’
Cooking timing is a little hit and miss at first. You really need to experiment with various foods, to see how you like them cooked. One thing you must do, is always pre-heat, as you would a conventional oven.
So far I have cooked chicken breasts, fish and chips and a Betty Crocker chocolate brownie mix.
All were very successful, the chocolate brownie took slightly longer than I anticipated, but I did dial in quite a low temperature.
It really is true, oven chips have never tasted better than when cooked in this.
Cleaning is simple, just remove the basket, separate the two halves, then give them both a rinse with soapy water.
I mainly bought this as it was a waste to use a 3Kw oven to cook a small meal for 2 people, this uses half the power, and cooks a lot of things in 3/4 the time.
Overall, I’m very pleased with the oven. (I call it an oven, as that it what it really is).
It has certainly achieved its energy saving purpose, and there is the added bonus of all foods tasting great, and some foods tasting even better.
UPDATE May 2021: I’ve now had this air fryer for over 7 months and I’m still very pleased with it. It is used 2-3 times a week, and always cooks beautifully.
A couple of tips that I would give are :
Buy the bigger model. It will always be useful to have the extra cooking space.
Pick a temperature, and use that for the majority of your cooking. I leave mine at 180 degrees, and now, after 7 months, I know exactly how long to cook the majority of different items. You will occasionally need to alter the temperature, but get used to one and cook accordingly.
The manufacturers will probably say this next one is a no-no, but as the top gets reasonably warm, it’s a great place to put your plates to warm up. I wouldn’t do it with too many, but for 2 or 3 it works well.
As I said, this has proved to be a really good buy, and I’m very pleased.
I hope you found this review helpful.
For the most part l wouldn’t say this is any better at cooking than the likes of the Ninja or any of the other top price fryers available, but it can certainly hold its own at the very least, as none of them can do any better. Why then would you want to pay 3 or 4 times as much for exactly the same result.
So far we love the results, Chicken legs were perfect. Frozen chips cooked ok with no added oil.
Much prefer it to our old one with its rotary paddle.

2ND AMENDMENT, COMPLETELY REWRITTEN REVIEW.
This is a good, value for money device with one weakness: the handle attaching inner basket to main drawer.
But, looking at other makes, it is a design weakness and could be remedied easily.
My workaround is below.
I bought the largest size to be able to spread food more thinly; it speeds up cooking time considerably and makes it easier to stir not shake.
Received replacement basket today, 6 days after emailing seller in a rage.
The basket seems fine, it’s the right one.
Delivered by DPD, sent from Germany.
Vendor arranged this to be sent to replace the original one which broke after nine months usage – once a day, most days; I burned my hand stopping it dropping to the floor.
If you DO NOT SHAKE THE BASKET!!!!!!! it should be fine.
1: to prep, clean and dry basket and drawer, click together, insert and PREHEAT!
2: when it beeps, remove drawer WITH BASKET STILL ATTACHED, use an oven glove to support the drawer, place on a HEAT RESISTANT SURFACE (I use an old pizza stone), add food, then into unit to cook.
3: when ‘shake alarm’ sounds, remove as above, use PLASTIC spoons – or spoon and slice – to turn the food in situ.
4: drawer back in, to finish cooking.
5: when cooked, remove as above AND ONLY THEN: use button to separate basket, tip basket onto plate or into bowl with kitchen roll to degrease.
6: wait until cool – at least 3 hours – before washing.
NB: EVERY time, BEFORE you use, double check the screws holding the basket to the handle.
When I GENTLY flipped the contents like a pizza, it tended to loosen them, I suspect this was a factor in the handle breaking.
It would be better if the handle had a steel skeleton, covered in places with plastic!
Last comment, when it finishes, press the power button and immediately switch off at wall socket and unplug; before removing drawer.
Very easy to forget to do so.
Not critical, but as a safety measure, not least in case of power surges, a good idea.
Last of original review:
It was fine for 9 months, although I had to tighten the screws holding the inner basket to the handle every twoish weeks, nonstick didn’t last long.
Cleaning was OK – using kitchen wipes then kitchen roll. Bit tricky round heating element.
14 June 2020: usual protocol; shake alarm beeped, I pulled the drawer out, put it on the pizza stone I use as a HEAT rest, pressed the release to lift – handle came away, basket dropped into main drawer with me acting as a barrier; burnes my hand on the basket.
Was able to get it to finish cycle and it sort of works but not for long.
Maybe just bad luck, but this device favours style over robustness.
I was exceptionally p***ed off at so short a life cycle. I had expected up to 3 years cooking oven chips etc.
NB: oven ready frozen is OK; fresh is a disaster unless you pre steam THEN spray with oil – in a separate bowl!
Easy to clean, easy to use & I can’t recommend enough.
The cooker book that comes with it is very useful and looking on the Internet really opens the Air Cooking world.
We are a family of eight so need a large capacity air fryer. We still have to cook in batches but it fits 4 while chicken legs at a time and cooks them in 25-30 minutes. The flavour with absolutely no oil is fantastic, crisps up just like KFC but way less calories and fat.
Fries are also amazing and take 25 minutes using the pre set fries function. We find half a potato per person plenty (jacket potato size).
It’s super easy to clean, dishwasher proof basket. It’s big but smart looking in all black so looks ok sat on the worktop all the time.
Couldn’t live without it now. We use it to cook homemade chicken nuggets, sausages, bacon, chicken kievs, fish fingers, roasted chickpeas… We once tried churros but the result wasn’t great. Everything else has been really good.
So why did I order another drawer type? I watch a lot of keto videos on you tube and was impressed when seeing how versatile this and how large the square (much better design) baskets are. After that I watched a lot of Cosori product reviews for the large air fryer and it convinced me to try another one. So glad I did! The drawer size is generous enough I can fit in my smaller cake tins so don’t need to buy special ones.The instructions are much better with these, you will need to adapt temps depending on thickness of frozen food etc but this is no different to a conventional oven. You get warnings to shake the drawer. It comes with a fantastic recipe book – best I’ve ever seen with an appliance! I’ve already done a few recipes and the results were good. Although beware with the bbq chicken one – the salt amount is too high to be able to eat. Lucky for us I added it to oil and ketchup as a marinade so was able to taste it before using it on meat! I made it up second time with some ketchup and tbsp olive oil to use it as a marinade only adding the salt and chilli powders to taste later because the original amounts are way to spicy for my son. You can fit a lot of food inside this one, I got 4 large pork chops in easily. An option that was available with my old air fryer because you aren’t supposed to cook items with fat on in it. They were honestly much nicer cooked in the Cosori than in my fan oven. The marinade also went down well with my very fussy son! Clean up – you do need to wait until the basket is fully cooled. I left it overnight after the pork chops. Was dreading cleaning as you can’t use anything abrasive but they do give you instructions for making a bicarb paste. However, didn’t need it! It cleaned out super easy with a cloth and soapy water. Whatever coating they have on these is amazing.
Final verdict – can’t recommend this enough! It’s definitely worth waiting to buy one until you can spend a bit more. The cheaper ones just don’t compare with ones like this. I’ve learnt this with a few small appliances over the last couple of years. This will be getting used daily along side my oven for baking too. Catering for a keto diet, Coeliac and a diabetic means making all your own stuff so any extra cooking surface is much appreciated!
As I never new much about airfryers and then a friend mentioned them, I investigated YouTube and comments and picked the Cosori. Why, well I liked the square basket, auto shutoff when checking food and restarting when basket replaced and ease of cleaning. So if you are new to airfryers then you certainly can’t go wrong with this one.
P.S… Just before I go….How many companies get in touch 3 days on with an email telling you that if you have a problem or a question to get in touch. Never in my experience. So good aftercare.. me thinks..
