COSORI Air Fryer Pro, Compact 5QT, Ceramic Coating, 7 Presets with Preheat & Keep Warm, 450℉, Easy to use & clean, Shake Reminder, 130+ In-App Recipes, Nonstick & Dishwasher-Safe Basket, Gray

This was an excellent purchase. Very user friendly, easy to maintain and clean. The overall size of the COSORI Air Fryer 5 QT is perfect for small to large size cooking. I am not a fan of too many kitchen appliances but I will say that this is well worth the investment for what it does and the rewards that it yields to your time management, nutrition and economic needs. Overall design and color is sleek, and simple, a little more boxy for my taste and space availability but I am able to live with it for the benefits that it yields. 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.

The simple intuitive design makes cooking with this air fryer a real pleasure. As someone who has never used an air fryer, I found learning how to use it very easy. My main reason for buying it was to reduce the amount of oil in my diet from deep fried foods. Every time I fill my deep fryer it costs $13 to $15 in the USA, but with the air fryer many foods only require a light misting of oil. I use an oil pump sprayer that significantly reduces oil cost. I figure the thing will pay for itself in oil and energy cost with the year. Now I don't have to heat up my kitchen in the hot summer with a big gas oven just to hear a few fries or roast some chicken. The speed, cooking functions, timer and heat levels are perfect for what I use it for. I love the way this thing makes crispy chicken wings, frozen battered fish, onion rings and French Fries (Crisps for the UK folks) and OMG! you should see all the amazing recipes I've discovered for this thing. It's like going on a culinary adventure everyday trying out all the new things I can make with it. Now here's the part I really love about it,.. the way it's built. I totally dismantled it and examined every part, every component, safety features, and the circuit board. (I'm weird like that) Actually I went much deeper into it. Then I did some research on replacement parts available. Then I studied the design looking for that "Built in obsolescence", you know, that one thing most manufactures build into stuff to make the item fail after a set period of time. I could find any! The ceramic coating on the cooking surfaces is really good, I wouldn't use abrasive cleaners on it so everything will glide and slide nicely. It cleans really easy but there are some areas between the handle and outside of the shaker pan that can't be accessed without taking the handle off. I recommend doing that once a month if you use it a lot or more if something nasty gets between there. Don't buy the model that has app control or notifications, it's gimmicky and unnecessary. If you've never used an air fryer, after a small learning period, it will be your new favorite kitchen appliance.

I compared several videos on air fryers on U-tube, along with comparing the good and bad reviews on all. I came to the conclusion that the Cosori Air Fryer had the best features for me along with being in the price range I felt comfortable with. Easy instructions for cooking and function is normal with the ability to heat up to 450 degrees. I really like the control buttons being on the top and completely sealed, rather than on the front with notches where food could get stuck. This completely sealed control top makes it easy to clean.

I bought this thinking I would use it a few times a month, I use it much more often. This is the perfect size for me, or a couple but a family may wish to buy a larger one. It's a good quality fryer, easy to use and easy to clean. So far everything I've cooked came out well and with less mess than using the stove or having to heat up an oven for one sweet potato. Glad I purchased.

The COSORI Air Fryer Pro LE is a great air fryer. It gets up to the pre-heat temperature quickly and does a good job cooking evenly. This was our first air fryer and we have been using is almost daily if not more than once per day. Beyond the obvious like french fries and chicken nuggets, we've used it to make pizza, garlic bread, cook brats, veggies, and more. We also use it to toast bagels and warm up donuts. Everything is delicious, but it does take some learning to get good at estimating the correct time and temperature. The fryer basket with the crisping grid inserted is approx 3 5/8" deep (to the top of the basket) by 8 1/2 wide. It has a non-stick coating which so far has been easy to clean. We've been careful to not use any metal utensils to avoid scratching the coating. The touchpad is very responsive and can either be tapped or long pressed when changing temperature and time. The pause button is nice to check how items are cooking. Some quibbles: There are no user presets, so every time it's turned on it resets to the default time/temp. We don't really use the included preset modes much - chicken, frozen, steak, etc - as they all tend to overcook the food in our experience. Having those to be user configurable would be nice. The preheat mode can be set for desired temperature but then shuts off when it's reached - requiring the temperature to be set again for cooking. Also, it would be nice if there was a way to control the beeping volume and even disable the beeps when using the touchpad - everything makes it beep which gets minorly annoying. Finally, when the fry basket is pulled out, the touchpad is disabled (which makes sense) however I've learned I have to wait until it beeps and the power light comes on again after the basket is inserted before trying to use the touchpad. Pressing for example the power button immediately after inserting can sometime cause the touchpad to lock up requiring the unit to be unplugged to reset it. Overall this a nice air fryer with an easy to clean finish including the glass touchpad on the top. Considering the quibbles, if I were to go back in time knowing what I know now I would likely look for one with more user configurability. However we are very happy with the Cosori Pro LE and have no plans to replace it.

Easy to use and clean. Does a great job on so many things! Big time saver! Makes eating healthy simpler and more convenient.

The best air fryer on the market. I can't say enough good things about it. Because of the lower price point, we bought this air fryer for a short term rental property we own. We stay there ourselves on occasion and we were so impressed by it, that we took it home and traded it out for our personal air fryer. Don't tell our renters. The highlights: 1. It's extremely quiet - to the point that you don't actually think it's working right, but it absolutely is. 2. It looks really nice. 3. And maybe the best part is it heats up to 450 degrees whereas most air fryers top out at 400. This is a game changer for crisping the outside of your foods, but not overdoing the insides. I would highly recommend this air fryer to anyone.

Cooks fast, crispy, and healthy. Easy to use and clean—totally worth it!
