COSORIAir Fryer Pro 9-in-1, Compact 5QT, 450℉: Half Time & Chef-Grade Cook, One-Wipe Clean Glass Panel, 130+ In-App Recipes with Nutritional Info, Nonstick & Dishwasher-Safe Basket, Gray

I've owned a number of different brands of Air Fryers over the past 10 years and it has been very hit or miss. I moved into a smaller place recently and wanted a new Air Fryer that was better suited for smaller spaces and not take up too much counterspace. I searched long and hard and decided on this one. There is another version of this one that is slightly smaller and is WiFi enabled. I elected to go with this one since I could not think of a situation that I would want to control this unit remotely (although you can see the WiFi indicator on the touch screen, it doesn't light up and there is no WiFi functionality in this unit. I assume the control panel on the WiFi version is exactly the same or they plan to make this one WiFi enable in the future as the reason for it being there.I've used it several times already to cook wings, fish, shrimp, and I even cooked a NY Strip in it (yep! I Air-Fried a steak... I know, I know... I said the same thing to myself that you are thinking while it was cooking), but to my surprise, using the preset worked like a charm. The steak was evenly cooked to a perfect medium well temp, just the way I like it. It was juicy, had a little char on the edges, tender and delicious (I cook a mean steak regardless). When I cooked the wings using the Chicken preset, I ended up adding additional time and increasing the temp since my previous experience with other Air Fryers indicated that the presets always undercook chicken, besides the fact that I like to flip them towards the end to ensure they are crispy all the around. The unit indicated 20 minutes @ 360 degrees. I changed it to 25 mins @390. At the end I flipped and added an additional 5 minutes for 10 wings and then after a total of 30 minutes Bam!!! Perfectly cooked chicken wings. I reduced the time by 5 minutes if I'm only cooking 5 wings or so. Pause at the 5 min remaining mark and flip. They come out just as crispy as if they were deep fried (non-battered wings) Now, 30 minutes is in no way faster than pan frying but waiting a little longer for healthier food is not a deal breaker in my book, especially if the food turns out good.The unit has a number of presets including one for Fries that alerts you when it's time to flip. I have not used that preset yet but found the presets on every Air Fryer I have owned, to be hit or miss.Cleaning is a breeze. No, seriously, you cannot get any better than this. Simply let the unit cool. (DO NOT run it under water while it is hot, as it will warp the aluminum pan due to the rapidly changing temps which will also cause the Teflon coating to start to separate prematurely from the pan).Remove the crisper tray and run it under water or use the sprayer and then gently wipe it with a wet sponge or dish cloth using just warm/hot water or a mild soap. The rubber ends are removable, but I just leave them on and clean around them. Rinse the pan and wipe the same way. This is the easiest Air Fryer to clean. The non-stick surface, like all other Teflon based coating will deteriorate over time or improper care, therefore, use silicone, Teflon based or wooded utensils in it to avoid scratching the surfaces.It comes with no cookbook or any other accessories. There is an App that you can download that controls the Wifi version, but the App has dozens of recipes specific for use with both this model and the Wifi version.It has an actual on/off button where most units need to be unplugged (I unplug it anyway since I don't trust touchscreen automated electronic panels which when defective can cut the unit on by itself). It has a timer and a preheat option. You can pause the unit, so you don't have to reset the temp/time if you open it to check on your food allowing you to continue once you close it (major plus). The outside of the unit does "not" get hot. The fan ports the hot air out of the rear and has a built-in guard to ensure you have space behind it so that it is not flush up against the wall. There is a startup process when you first get the unit. Following the instructions, you basically run through each setting and a few presets to familiarize yourself with it. You'll run preheat which will burn off and residual oils left from production. Unlike MANY of the others I have own or tried, there is no burning plastic odor when this thing is running. I had a different brand with an oven door and trays instead of a pan, that smelled like burning plastic that didn't go away until I THREW it away.I chose this brand over so many others since I bought my daughter a previous model of the same brand. Since I have not heard a single complaint about it in 3 years' time, I conclude that it is still running fine because she would not hesitate to call me and let me know how much she hates the piece of junk I bought for her for Christmas that one year.Overall, I am happy with this unit, although it did cut off prematurely once during cooking, but has since operated fine. I've had it less than 30 days but so far so good. It seems well thought out in the engineering department. While I should probably return for the one glitch, it has likely been resolved once the unit was unplugged and plugged back in.I highly recommend this unit if you are only cooking for 1-2 people. YMMV

After years of resisting purchasing a stand-alone air fryer due to limited counterspace, I saw this one on sale and finally caved. While I had been using a combined oven/toaster/air fryer for a couple of years, I never felt like it gave me the "true" air fryer experience all of my friends with a stand-alone air fryer described. Sure enough, my experience with this unit is very different from my combo unit -- and I'm glad I made room for both on my kitchen counter. This unit is very easy to use, and best of all, EXTREMELY easy to clean. As with my combo air fryer/oven, I find that it takes a little longer to cook everything than whatever the food item's cooking instructions say, but it's still fast and easy. I haven't tried putting the whole basket in the dishwasher, but it's so easy to wipe clean that I've never felt the need. I do regularly put the grate through my dishwasher, and it comes out sparkling clean (without that dreaded black residue) and no visible signs of wear. I'm very pleased with this item!NOTE: At first use, I was concerned, because the strong plastic odor remained even after several attempts to burn it off (as the instructions recommend). The instructions said to contact the manufacturer if that foul odor did not dissipate after one cooking cycle, but I'm glad I didn't -- it took several cycles in my case, but eventually did go away. So, if you run into this issue, just be aware and have patience.

I bought this air fryer, knowing nothing about air frying stuff . or anything about air fryers this air fryer is very good. I have some air fryer disposable papers that I put in the air fryer, but that’s just a personal choice. It is really easy to clean when you have the air fryer the instructions that they gave with you are very, very simple. I did shrimp for my first test NE and I just clicked the seafood button and it did it. The shrimp tastes better than how you would normally cook it. I do like the safety features on it. It will not turn on unless the bottom pull up pocket is in there completely and right. It has a lot that you can do for it. I basically have put in after cutting up like six Russell potatoes after cutting them all up correction after cutting up eight of them, I wanted to make french fries it has a dedicated button for french fries for seafood, steak for frozen stuff for bacon for veggies and even chicken. Practically taking the guess work out of it.. . my suggestion when you get it make sure you look at every part of the box and just read the instructions. My other suggestion is before using it turn it on and just push preheat doesn’t in like less than four minutes then click whatever button you want you can even adjust the time and the temperature when it’s on it is so easy to clean. I was very skeptical about this air fryer but no it really is very good. I try not to do any grease and it does a pretty good job of it taking it out. Yes if you do ground beef. It does all the grease goes on the bottom majority I would just say when doing ground beef do it at 400 for 10 minutes or 12 and push the shake button that basically tells you to take it out and you know stir it why just did what I took it out and just drained the fat out consolidated and put it back in and now I have the healthiest ground beef. It’s very easy. it doesn’t take a lot of energy so it saves you on energy bill for your energy saver people.
