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 bought two of these on special and now they are my go to mode of cooking. They heat quickly, and with the crisper plate, they cook so efficiently and evenly; and best of all… fast!Cleaning is a piece of doddle in my dishwasher as the whole basket is non-stick. I also bought a job lot of 100 paper liners for £4.99 on Amazon that have been invaluable in keeping the machine clean so I don’t have to wash the basket every time.So far I have made the best (fast) roast potatoes, moist turkey crown roast, breakfast ‘all in’ sausages, mushrooms and bacon; and little 69p Tesco fresh mini pizzas (with a few embellished added toppings) make fabulous cheap fast snacks in minutes.Adapting recipes, temperatures and timings is a learning curve, but I now make notes for future use… I have a temperature probe that I have been using as I can’t quite believe how quick this airfryer cooks foods. Unfortunately, because the drawer fits in so precisely, there is no way to cook using my wired meat probe inserted during cooking unless I splashed out on a new wireless Bluetooth one, but with time my confidence will grow and I won’t need to use the temp probe as much to check if meat/poultry is cooked through.I’ve had a tefal family actifry (with stirrer) for years and love it too; but this airfryer knocks spots of it as it’s so much quieter and less fiddly to keep clean.The window is a game changer and makes all the difference as it removes a lot of the guesswork as you can see how your food is cooking and browning without having to open the drawer.10/10 from me. I paid £79.99 on special, and then paid £14.50 for a pathetic metal rack to allow layer cooking, but that was too fiddly trying to work out timings and temperatures for 2 different layered foods, so I just returned it and invested that £14.50 towards a second identical airfryer so I could cook roast potatoes and accompanying meats more efficiently.I now roast potatoes, carrots and parsnips all at the same time and they taste so wonderful. Even my hubby is loving all the food I am preparing.Highly recommended if you can get these machines on offer

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.
