5.0 out of 5 stars Reliable and efficient

P. · 24 February 2025

I paid over £100 for this, the 5.5l version, back in 2022. Now it is even better value! I use it almost daily and now never use the main oven. I use it for baking part-cooked baguettes, salmon in foil, chicken, baking flatbread, etc.I'm sure I just scratch the surface of what can be done in it and am trying to experiment more. For example, I'm going to try a chicken traybake tonight, which I've never attempted because of the permanent basket. But I now realise that is not a problem because the juices that accumulate can be poured over the meal when served! Edit: the traybake was delicious!There are just the two of us, so our needs are slight but I find that I can make almost any meal using my quartet of Airfryer, microwave, hob and slow cooker.There have been other reviews questioning the life of the catch that keeps the bottom container attached to the main basket and handle, but I have not found it to be a problem. Obviously it is a weakness but the bottom container is never loaded up, and it's still going strong over two years later.The main reason for buying the air fryer was energy cost-savings and it has certainly done that. Along with other economies, we managed to reduce (and maintain) our electricity use by 25%I wholeheartedly recommend this air fryer. It is easy to operate, especially using the short-cut programme buttons. It is easy to keep clean. it cooks rapidly and completely.Even though it is now 30% cheaper than when I bought it, I still think it was a bargain. In fact, I'm now following the various Cosori-users Facebook groups to expand my use of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stop eating supermarket meal deals - start COOKING with an air fryer!

We'd been Meaning to get an air fryer for months - but could never settle on any particular brand or price, or even if we could be bothered to move away from cheap sandwiches. We read/watched reviews online and on youtube. Eventually, we settled on the Cosori mainly because of the sheer number of reviews it had, its overall size and the cost. After just 4 weeks, I am happy to report that we are very happy with the purchase. In fact, we have used it every single day since we received it. It is a very convenient appliance to have - more than just a gimmick! There are several advantages to having an air fryer:1. It is much quicker to heat up than a conventional oven.2. You don't need to have it on for as long as a regular oven - hence you use less energy.3. It takes up very little space - about the same width as a wide toaster.4. The trays are easy to clean, compared to cleaning a regular oven(!)5. It actually makes you WANT to cook something healthy, rather than eat rubbish!6. You can cook chicken, or seafood together with vegetables in the same tray and adjust the cooking time/temperature yourself. Its that flexible.Making roast potatoes, baked potatoes and chips is a piece of cake - takes less than 5 mins to prepare everything - and the fryer does the rest. From chopping vegetables - to eating off your plate - you could be looking at just 25 minutes!But its not just the time and space saving that are a bonus - its also the fact that you can cook and eat tasty foods that you may otherwise have never bothered to try. For example - mushrooms, peppers, cauliflower, corn on the cob - and even aubergines come out absolutely delicious and toasty. Sprinkle in a bit of salt, a very light drizzling of olive oil, maybe a hint of paprika - and you'll be amazed at the result.We've bought a whole load of seafoods - crab, prawns, calamari, mussels, salmon. We just drop these in (straight from frozen) with our vegetables and bingo!Will try steak at some point - but BBQ chicken works really well.So if like us, you are coming home from work and just microwaving a supermarket pizza, or scoffing a scotch egg - then its time to give up those bad habits, and start eating properly.

5.0 out of 5 stars 14 months of ownership, 6 purchased (for others), still my default cooking device.

Coming back to this review after a year and I still stand-by my thoughts. Cosori have made the best air fryers, affordable and well designed. Even if it shows signs of wear from heavy use, it's a better device than InstntPot, Phillips and Tefal by a country mile. If the basket wears, just buy another basket. The device is still far better designed that anything else (I've used) on the market.Have owned this device for more than twelve months and it one of the most useful items in my kitchen.It's form factor means it fits anywhere I need to use it, but even better, I can sneak it on holiday too (mainland obviously).Anyone (even novices) can use to improve their culinary output.Simple to setup and use; works better than you imagined and will improve every meal in ways you won't believe. The other major benefit is that cleaning it is really simple, certainly something you do need to be aware of.This particular model is my 'default present' for wedding gifts, birthdays and house-warmings.I purchased one for my parents; mainly because my Mum can't bend down to use the main oven, but it cooks everything (they enjoy) and cleaning-up is low effort. It's also much cheaper to run than an oven. *I have now purchased six in total. Only one problem, simply rectified.Top tip: get the large one. If you have a family, you will find the air fryer is always in use and you need more space for other items. You can cook a whole chicken in an air fryer, the larger model allows you to cook a larger chicken (which is always very popular).The only tools you will need are a good pair of nylon cooking tongues, an oil spray bottle and Teflon base sheet. If you can, try to get the small riser too, this will allow you to cook two (or more) items at the same time.Children will enjoy learning to cook too. Just follow the simple rules and you will have years of delicious results.

I use this every day. Have it since April2021 and works as promised. The recipe booklet is very easy and well explained so makes it even easier to use. I have a convection microwave and I was advised against buying one saying that the Airfryer is a glorified convection oven. It’s not true, both have its own benefits. You can heat up and cook faster in the Airfryer, with fraction of the time and grease.

Awesome product must buy

Wow,I have been using it for 3 months now and have stopped using pans to cook my food.Have reduced the consumption of oil drastically. This product works like a charm just wish I used this earlier. I am amazed at how often we use this product.No gripes with this product at all works well with everything and the perfect the only thing is I think it may not work well for things that are breaded have tried using it to cook chicken vegis and everything else.It works really well only when I bread the stuff that I'm gonna cook it turns out to taste weird guess it doesn't cook properly.
