Wonderful airfryer!
We had never used an airfryer before but decided to try it. Wow we have really enjoyed it. We use it for veggies. They turn out crunchy and yummy. We have loved doing frozen foods in it like egg rolls. They cook in half the time. We like how easy this fryer is to use. It has plenty of room, is easy to clean, not too big or too small. It looks great on my counter. Very modern looking. The controls are on top and clear and easy. We are so glad we purchased this.

Picked this unit due to great recommendations and good price. I believe there was a $40 discount when I purchased it. Very nice looking, super easy to clean and intuitive.I was going back and forth between this model and another which had the “dehydrate” feature, ie. to make beef jerky and other such dehydrated food.Finally, figured I’d probably not use that feature all that much, so decided to go with this unit. It’s big enough to feed 3-4 people, and its quiet, fast, and looks great. I like the touch screen, and that auto “shake” feature that’s very convenient.People complained about a plastic smell, but I followed the instructions, ran the pre-heat cycle twice with it empty, and didn’t get any smell.

La friggitrice ad aria Cosori è un prodotto straordinario con un rapporto qualità-prezzo imbattibile. Grazie alla tecnologia di circolazione dell’aria calda, cuoce i cibi in modo uniforme e croccante, riducendo significativamente l’uso di olio. Il pannello di controllo digitale è intuitivo e offre diverse impostazioni preprogrammate per una varietà di piatti. La pulizia è un gioco da ragazzi grazie al cestello antiaderente removibile. Robusta e affidabile, questa friggitrice ad aria rappresenta un ottimo investimento per chi cerca qualità senza spendere una fortuna.Unica “nota dolente”, la capacità è soddisfacente ma non esagerata, se dovete cucinare per più di 3/4 persone dovrete fare più cotture.

The “Good”:- Easy to clean (when new, the non-stick is super easy to clean although you do need to be careful to get in around those four little rubber grippers on the crisper tray- Pre-heats REALLY quickly: ready to go in four minutes, and if you are in a real hurry you can put your food straight in while it pre-heats and it’s starting to warm up within a minute or two- The outside and cupboard I have it in stays nice and cool – the outside doesn’t heat up too much or seem dangerously hot anywhere.- It does cook things quickly: much quicker than my oven. So it saves me time and (some) electricity costs.- It makes really nice fries and crispy things, but I’ve found that it really is crucial to shake/flip things. Anywhere items are touching they will not crispen up, so you need to shake and turn throughout the cooking period: at least once but more is better.- The beep is a good volume: not crazy loud, but loud enough to hear clearly (unlike my new oven!)- The display is nice and clear and bright.- The crisper tray makes a big difference because hot air can get underneath the food. I tried using paper air fryer liners, and they do save cleaning the non-stick drawer and crisper tray, but the food does not crispen up as well.- It’s really not too noisy. It does make some noise, but I’d read about noisy air fryers and was fearing the worst. This is not the noisiest appliance in my kitchen and doesn’t bother me when it is on.- Like other air fryers, it isn’t, of course, really frying. It’s like a really good fan oven, so you can make really good oven chips and crispen things up like you could in a great oven, but it’s obviously not really “frying” them like advertising wants you to think!The “Could be Even Better”:- I haven’t used any of the “programmes” so far. The only one I went to try (chips) the temperature and time were very different from what the pack said and what I wanted. I just set the temperature and time each time I cook something, which is really quick to do.- Because there’s no window, to check on your food you need to pull the drawer out, and this cancels the Shake function, which means a quick check early on might mean you then don’t get the reminder to shake half way through- I really wish it showed seconds on the timer, not just minutes. I see it’s on “1” and think, “Great, it’s nearly done, I’ll stand by it and get my food as soon as it stops”, and that is the longest one minute of the day! If I knew it had 60s left I’d get something else done while it finishes, whereas if it said “10s to go” I’d know I could walk over and get my food as the beeps start. I’d much rather they dropped the cooking “programmes” that rarely match what I want and instead added seconds digits to the timer.- The mechanism that locks the drawer in place is sufficiently stiff that when you put the drawer back in, in order to push it in far enough to get cooking to start again the whole machine tends to slide back on the shelf. The drawer mechanism is too stiff.- After it’s finished, the lights on the display go off and sometimes the power button stays orange. I instinctively press that to get the other controls to light up but instead it turns it off! The whole off/orange/bright colour scheme of the buttons doesn’t feel intuitive to me at all.- My kids figure the air fryer is like an oven so they don’t need to clean it after use. I go to use it and find it’s got fat/oil and food bits left in it quite regularly!This is our first air fryer, and both my wife and I really like it.
