"i have to say at this point i have never fried a chip in my life and we don't eat much fried food so wasn't sure how useful it would be but as my son pointed out it's like a mini oven so can be used for baking etc too so he encouraged me to be open minded!"

"that is really my only negative so far"

"second i dont know if they all do but mine had only a very basic use leaflet no real guidance on use so a lot of it was trial and error for example i cooked oven chips in it and they cremated within 15 minutes 8 minutes seemed about the right time but then making mini roast potatoes they took about the same time as doing them in the oven"

"the crispness doesnt last as long as oil fried so make the chips last of all when making a meal but the taste is very close to conventional fried chips but not greasy and not dry like oven chips so this device gets my vote"

"i love mine pity the non stick coating comes off"

"i am not a fan of the earlier clockwork timers on early models but nor am i a fan of the type of touch sensitive controls but i sense that the control panel on this item might start to play up over time too"

"very poor takes forever to even cook the smallest portion of chips they over cook on one side and remain uncooked on the other side"

"apart from size and ability for the princess to cook larger amounts both fryers are very similar in terms of control cooking times pretty poor instruction and recipe books and ablity to produce lower calorie fat content foods"

"the biggest disappointment was that they didn't cook evenly some were very well done almost border line burnt whilst others were still raw despite a good half hour cooking yes we cooked a full basket for four of us but the fryer says you can do"

"also the whole thing is quite noisy when it is working full tilt"

"noise this is a noisy air fryer"

"it may be because it is big but it is a noisy appliance even allowing for size 3"

"the only downside is that the provided instructions are extremely misleading and very scant"

"you just set the time for about 18 minutes and shake the basket while in the pan halfway through then when cooked remove basket using the quick release button otherwise and oil residue in pan would get tipped out too and put onto your plates"

"the main criticisms i have if this is that the draw to it is rather stiff and a bit of an effort to get in and out when it is full"

"chips on the night were disappointing though we literally went fat free as no instructions in the box and the chips were more jacket potato in chip shapes not unpleasant but not like a chip either"

"this unit has a lot more cooking power and when i go back to my original branded airfryer it seems sluggish and slow by comparison and it smokes during cooking a lot more than this one "

"but for a novice there is some experimentation needed in lieu of instructions and this could lead to mixed results!"

"the second attempt we sprayed with some 1 cal fry oil like i'd do if making oven chips in the oven but again we found they cooked unevenly even though we turned them half way through"

"we have just returned our cheap 'tower' air fryer as within months the coating had come away and it was going rusty"

"yes it is a large fryer and billed as a family fryer with a 5"

"just to realise that there are no instructions how to take the cooking pan out a very fiddly button that actually is not to be pressed when you want to pull the pan out of the machine but only when already out and you need to release the pan from the support where the juices drain into"

"removing the basket from the drawer needs the button on the handle to be pushed down in order to release the locking mechanism"

"the crispness doesnt last as long as oil fried so make the chips last of all when making a meal but the taste is very close to conventional fried chips but not greasy and not dry like oven chips so this device gets my vote"

"the only downside is that the provided instructions are extremely misleading and very scant"

"so if you have room and do a lot of oven cooking i would massively recommend it but unless it typically comes with a guide recipe book you might need to spend some time on google to figure out how best to use it!"

"the only downside is the drawer is a little tuff to pull out but it is getting easier over time"

"the device was easy to use after unpacking and discarding card and plastic wrapping by giving its basket and pan and cake tin for good measure in case i forget later a wash in warm soapy water and drying"

"i only recieved this yesterday wasnt suppose to arrive until tuesday!"

"it is a big bulky ugly looking thing and i returned it"

"don't know why i didn't get one years ago so good got one for inlaws cooks steak really well sausages from frozen brill roast pots and chips go for it you won't regret"

"defective draw and made of cheap plastic would not buy again has not got none slip feet you have to hold the air fryer to get the draw back in not good at all"

"i used a 6oz flour sugar flour and 3 egg mix plus coconut and was pleased with the result but next time i will try an 8oz mix just to make a bigger rise"

"this is provided with almost nothing although it has far more functions and is much more complex"

"even on first use after washing down the elements with soapy water there was no metallic or plastic taste which people have reported with other models"

"another major lack of information provided was the timings and temperatures that you need to use"

"the device is used by pre warning it to 80 c using the power then the mode button then reduce temp using left hand down button"

"the main criticisms i have if this is that the draw to it is rather stiff and a bit of an effort to get in and out when it is full"

"just to realise that there are no instructions how to take the cooking pan out a very fiddly button that actually is not to be pressed when you want to pull the pan out of the machine but only when already out and you need to release the pan from the support where the juices drain into"

"it was ok for a few months but now when removing the drawer to shake the basket the draw just falls off onto the floor"

"the one thing it lacks is instructions!"

"second i dont know if they all do but mine had only a very basic use leaflet no real guidance on use so a lot of it was trial and error for example i cooked oven chips in it and they cremated within 15 minutes 8 minutes seemed about the right time but then making mini roast potatoes they took about the same time as doing them in the oven"

"2 litre capacity but the larger portions take longer cooking time and to be honest the external size is quite imposing it is big and that size isn't reflected in regards to the quantity it can cook quickly"

"keep in mind because you don't use lots of oil best to add the salt spices when on your plate as it doesn't stick to them and ends up on the bottom of the pan"

"defective draw and made of cheap plastic would not buy again has not got none slip feet you have to hold the air fryer to get the draw back in not good at all"

"as with seemingly all of the airfryers they state things like serves 5 people but i'd take that with a pinch of salt"

"i have cooked fish low fat sausages and something i have never done before is to bake a cake"

"this is giant sized"

"i pretty much tried a bunch of stuff and if it worked brilliant if not i ordered take away : whilst this is very good for me the size drives me a bit nutty because its so big"

"we are yet to try baking not bread but we understand it can do quiches and cakes but i haven't let the mary berry in me loose yet as visually appealing that seems to be!"

"5 cm high there is no room"

"there are seven different "food" buttons chicken steak chips etc all with a picture on them in case you can't read i suppose?"

"we have just returned our cheap 'tower' air fryer as within months the coating had come away and it was going rusty"

"it was ok for a few months but now when removing the drawer to shake the basket the draw just falls off onto the floor"

"meat garlic bread fish cakes roast veg onion bhajis"

"i bought this air fryer because it is a much safer way to cook fried food as it has a timer and uses such a small amount of oil"

"only negative is that the basket itself can be a little difficult to clean as grease gets stuck in between the side ridges but that’s to be expected and wouldn’t stop my from buying this product again!"

"so i had a look round for a more permanent replacement for this still functioning but very basic model and read a lot of reviews and watched a lot of videos about the cosori all singing it’s praises so i got online and hey!"

"salt and a shake of smoked paprika cook for twenty five minutes and i defy anyone to say they are not as good if not better than deep fried chips"

"this is the 3rd air fryer but 1st cosori we have owned and is by far the best for ease of use usable capacity and cleaning brilliant non stick coating on both basket and tray "

"why oh why did air fryers have clockwork timers for so long when so many other devices were already electronic?"

"a complete waste of money even shaking chips like you are asked to they come out one side white the other burnt"

"very disappointed"

"the fire made a terrible mess"

"that is annoying"

"its even compact enough to leave on my kitchen counter in my midget kitchen rather than battling overstuffed cupboard to get the device out as i do with electric whisks food processors and similar cooking aids "

"thought i would give this a trial run by placing 2 frozen sausages in and seeing how we go"

"my only gripe is i wish we had gone for the larger model as i believe you are able to cook more than one item at a time via a rack?"

"i bought a set of 7" air fryer accessories too which have really come in handy as well as a 6" loose bottom tin for cakes"

"item appears fairly well made and came in a ridiculous amount of packaging which is good and bad depending on your perspective"

"i didn’t want to spend silly money on one of the leading brands just in case it ended up banished to the cupboard next month"

"i first thought it was splashed grease though i haven’t cooked anything that fatty in it but on closer inspection and cleaning these spots appear to be rust that cannot wipe off"

"i don't dread cooking anymore"

"so disappointed :0 even after the first week i noticed a couple of light scratches scuff marks on the inner basket and base"

"i have to learn to control the timing for the brussels sprout though some of the fallen leaves were overcooked"

"my children are very fussy eaters and they prefer the chips in the cosori compared to the tefal actifry"

"i do the same with the tinned boiled potatoes but i also add various herbs and spices to the potatoes in the same way as the chips but remember to drain the tinned potatoes in to a sieve and leave them in the sieve to dry out a bit i usually leave them for 15 mins then place them in the basket and in to the air fryer viola the potatoes may make a popping noise in the fryer but it’s just the potatoes drying and cooking it’s well worth the effort"

"only negative is that the basket itself can be a little difficult to clean as grease gets stuck in between the side ridges but that’s to be expected and wouldn’t stop my from buying this product again!"

"i have to learn to control the timing for the brussels sprout though some of the fallen leaves were overcooked"

"also very good at cooking duck breast or chicken kiev giving a better flavour and crispy outer skin than my conventional love"

"smilie faces"

"i couldn't have been more wrong"

"fantastic air fryer was recommended to get one by a friend so i purchased this one during a daily deal and unless i have to use the oven for large roasts everything gets cooked in this"

"scared to use at first but i now think this is the best thing since canned beans"

"as the cavity is so much smaller too it requires less electricity to both heat it to temperature and then maintain it"

"burgers pork chops ribs stuffed peppers chicken wings fish fingers chicken nuggets schnitzel broccoli sprayed with 1 cal oil and rubber with garlic "

"as with ordinary deep fry a thicker batter is easier to use"

"so far i have tried out frozen food and also use of battered onion"

"could burn"

"i don't have too much experience to cook basically doing only chicken"

"before we got it i'd been on a diet to lose weight and yet despite having chips every single day for the past couple of weeks i've still continued losing the pounds"

"after my first air fryer needed replacing i decided to go for an up dated actifry i sent it back shortly afterwards as it just squashed all the food this is great even beaps to tell you when to shake the food"

"i must admit ive used and brought a few different air fryers but this one is just mint"

"so disappointed :0 even after the first week i noticed a couple of light scratches scuff marks on the inner basket and base"

"it takes too long "

"just a little wipe inside when cooled down and switched off with the drawers removed and just place the removed drawers in the dishwasher or bowl or whatever its that easy"

"also my husband made the mistake of putting the optional greaseproof paper liners into the machine without food on it whilst it warmed up"

"i used to own a tower air fryer was getting a little old and dated but it did the job"

"an additional setting then we can use it when we go for the manual settings which would be great to have would like to have this option patience & passion is the key to get the best results indian south indian fish & chicken it came out really well quite close to oil frying like 75 to 80 % you will"

"if like me you live alone it can seem like a waste switching on the oven"

"so disappointed :0 even after the first week i noticed a couple of light scratches scuff marks on the inner basket and base"

"its even compact enough to leave on my kitchen counter in my midget kitchen rather than battling overstuffed cupboard to get the device out as i do with electric whisks food processors and similar cooking aids "

"but there is absolutely no instructions what so ever nothing nout"

"i bought a set of 7" air fryer accessories too which have really come in handy as well as a 6" loose bottom tin for cakes"

"i’ve tried so far frozen fries which have been the best ever and steaks and myyy were they juicy and soft!"

"its only a small joint for 2 people it doesnt say in the book"

"used it for cooking nuggets fresh chicken with seasonings chips onion rings hashbrowns so still exploring for £70 its not bad air fryer"

"i coat mine in egg and ground almonds and they cook in 10 mins"

"its only a small joint for 2 people it doesnt say in the book"

"after my first air fryer needed replacing i decided to go for an up dated actifry i sent it back shortly afterwards as it just squashed all the food this is great even beaps to tell you when to shake the food"

"i have tried potatoes cauliflower indian fried snacks and they turn out like the real deal and flavours are not changed either"

"i purchased this air fryer as we have been previously using a halogen fryer for a fair while and it has started to play up so i’ve been looking at the air fryer that everyone has heard about you know which one it begins with a t but i then found this air fryer and i read all the reviews and it also looks great too so i purchased one around 6 weeks ago and i am so pleased we did i just wish i would have purchased one a while ago"

"such a shame because i have loved using this air fryer but it clearly has a durability issue"

"as with ordinary deep fry a thicker batter is easier to use"

"my only gripe is i wish we had gone for the larger model as i believe you are able to cook more than one item at a time via a rack?"

"i’ve tried salmon frozen potato croquette breaded chicken drumsticks and brussels sprout"

"only used this a couple off times and only fries and fritters but so far it has been really good it is a little noisy but stops you forgetting it’s on may take a little time to get used to all the settings but sure the more i use it the better it will get"

"the company support is mega"

"completely dead"

"it's not silent if that's what you thought but although noise is clearly subjective i don't find it at all bothersome and it's certainly no louder than most microwaves or other kitchen electricals"

"i have had a few of these air fryers one thing to remember is do not put grossly fatty foods in it that will splash the fat all over the heating element keep that in mind and this air fryer is top of the pile perfect results"

"just a little wipe inside when cooled down and switched off with the drawers removed and just place the removed drawers in the dishwasher or bowl or whatever its that easy"

"so bought an ‘entry level’ cheap air fryer to see if i’d get on with the concept and did"

"used it for cooking nuggets fresh chicken with seasonings chips onion rings hashbrowns so still exploring for £70 its not bad air fryer"

"it is not especially quiet during use but not something you would object to"

"it does sound like you have a boeing 777 in you kitchen when working but gosh does it cook quick"

"i've always avoided buying an air fryer as i didn't think it could cook in quite the same way as my old deep fat fryer"

"i don’t find it noisy at all but perhaps i’m a little deaf!"

"i've found that the key to getting close deep fried onion rings and chicken is to use ready made bread crumbs from the supermarket"

"bizarrely the previous one used to set off my smoke detector which this one does not"

"if safety is an issue research into other products"

"main downside: it's very loud in operation so wouldn't be great in an open plan living scenario"

"i love the shake notification it gives as the tefal didn't have this"

"it does not alter the taste"

"looks like a bad contact"

"review after 1 month for a very long time i wanted to buy an air fryer did not know which one to choose but cosori won't let you down go for it very easy to use you will really enjoy all the available options mainly start stop pause & shake reminder preheat keep warm if shake reminder is available as"

"top marks from me 👍"

"i love cooking in it but my god it's noisy"

"also my husband made the mistake of putting the optional greaseproof paper liners into the machine without food on it whilst it warmed up"

"my fries usually get burnt if i don’t reduce the timer"

"considering i have been using silicone tongs to handle the food in it and only gentle cleaning products as instructed i should have listened to these early alarm bells"

"only negative is that the basket itself can be a little difficult to clean as grease gets stuck in between the side ridges but that’s to be expected and wouldn’t stop my from buying this product again!"

"it doesn't just cook chips though"

"i'd recommend a sprits of spray oil on chips as they dont really produce their own juice but yet again it's way better than litres of dirty oil an greasy steam"

"the fast heat up and cooking times as compared to conventional oven cooking are hard to do without"

"i have not found anything to dislike about the cosori air fryer"
