Cosori Pro II Air Fryer

The volume seller, and the presets are the reason people stop reading the manual.

Is it for you

Buy it if

  • A household of two to four, where basket size decides everything
  • You want presets that can be overwritten and kept
  • Dishwasher cleanup is non-negotiable

Skip it if

  • Nonstick coatings that need replacing after a couple of years
  • You want a metal-bodied appliance rather than a plastic one

Cosori sells more of these than anyone for a straightforward reason: the basket is the right size for most households, the presets are sensible, and the whole thing goes in the dishwasher. Nothing about it is remarkable and nothing about it is annoying.

The plastic body and the nonstick basket are where the price came from. Coating wear is the most common complaint in long-term owner reports, and replacement baskets are worth budgeting for.
