You might notice the air fryer's display looks like it's "flickering" in the video. It only looks that way on camera; it looks normal and "flicker free" in person.

[@tonyramirez1112]

That’s due to your shutter speed

I bought a COSORI Air fryer from E.Bay (I’m in the UK) a couple of months ago and love it. Unfortunately the handle started to chip and crack. I contacted COSORI about this and the said that the e.bay seller was not an authorised UK seller and therefore we’re not responsible BUT they are actually going to send me a whole new basket. They had no obligation to do this but oh boy now that’s what I call good customer service.

[@BOTzerker]

IDK regarding your situation, but when purchased from an authorized seller; they will continue to replace the basket during the warranty period. And the handle breaking is a common issue with the models using that design. They gone with a different design with their latest model, the dual blaze.

[@lindacoyne908]

Good luck...read my review. Read all reviews on the 2 million plus recalls. Terrible scam going on.

[@kbl437]

Thank you! Appreciate your honest review with pros and cons. To the point with concise information.

[@lindan8729]

Your review is so clear and specific and easy to listen to. It was very helpful. : )

[@debrawilley6960]

Out of all the info. On KZbin for this particular Cosori, your video is the most helpful .

[@-thewritershaima2233]

Agree!!

[@deee5520]

I’m seriously thinking of getting this one. Your video is great. Easy and right to the point. You need to teach people how to make GOOD videos like this one. Thank you. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@azharahmad7645]

You can push the clear lever to open up the basket without hassle :)

[@mrsweetkandy7673]

Thanks a LOT for this video and the demonstration. I hate how most review videos have words but don't show anything. I was always wondering about all the things you showed in the video and it also shows the size of it which surprisingly no other videos do. THANK YOU

[@kelank12]

We now have two of this exact item, the Instant Pot Vortex 6 Qt. Air Fryer kzbin.infoUgkxD4Qeo-HRLxMfom_PDinM_SBfes00qJsB . The friend just had a second one delivered a few days ago so we could take it to our lake house. We have even given a couple as gifts. And we use ours regularly. It is a killer for warming up leftovers. It is killer for warming up fries when you bring them home from the fast food place. It is killer for cooking a lot of things. It does its job fast and it does it well. This is simply one of the best items that you will ever spend money on for preparing food. And, its hard to imagine someone making one that's better than the Instant Pot Vortex.

[@margaretpilling5669]

Very clear and informative video. Best I've seen yet involving controls and washing action after cooking.

[@Dakiniwoman]

Thanks for your video... I have had my Cosori for nine months now. I use it two to three times every day so, about 800 uses so far. I have only used it on the steak setting... I just cook everything on that one and it all works great... I may change the length of time but never have used any of the other settings... I air-fry steak, chicken wings and pieces, pork chops, lamb, burger patties, and it all has worked very well. The only thing is even with very careful washing the non-stick coating is wearing off a bit. I still think it is well worth buying one though. I have never tried putting anything frozen in mine.

[@ThatGuyFromArizona]

I own this same fryer and love it.

[@berenicedavey7407]

Excellent review, the best I've seen. You cover the "whats this" & the "how to", and more. If I purchase this model, I will deff come back to your link if i buy on line. Thanks VERY much.

Great video! I just ordered this model. I'm looking forward to using it. Reviewed a lot of air fryers. Chose this one as it is used by one of my favorite cooking channels. I can ask questions on that channel and will have all those recipes and tips too! Thanks for taking us through this demonstration. The fryer looks super user friendly. My husband loves sweet potato fries. I'm a fan of Coconut Shrimp and other seafood. ~ Diane

[@honkhonk1555]

How’s it been for you so far? Do you recommend it?

[@dianehall5345]

#honk# #honk# -Hello from our working farm in New Hampshire! Yes I can recommend it. I am a retired corporate Buyer and a farm wife. I purchased this air fryer to save time and also save on using too much oil to fry foods. In my opinion this is a mid priced unit that has performed well for me so far. I like the size of the basket. It pre heats quickly and does a good job of air frying. Hope this helps you. Happy Holiday cooking! ~ Diane

Great thanks!

[@betting55555]

you can press the plastic piece on the handle with your thumb against the body to pull out the tray

[@Akyro---X]

The smell was something that I didn't like. I did the test run with an empty chamber, then did 400f for 3 mins using a oven safe bowl with diluted white vinegar and lemon juice with peels. So far no more bad smell

[@melbeasley9762]

So by the time you've done the fries, the burger is cold.

[@junejewel]

Will you cover the new mini version 4 qt?? You do such a great job!!! It’s designed for 1-2 people and goes up to 450 deg F.

[@ImChillToo]

Is that the Cosori Lite 4.0? I wasn’t planning on buying it, but I might since it’s a newer item. If there’s anything specific you’d like me to cover in the review (if I buy it), feel free to leave suggestions. And thanks!

[@ahmedsaeed9112]

Thanks. Can you cook burger and the finger chips together? If one food takes more time, you can pull the basket then add the other food and pick mid temp!

[@rogercoalter6262]

I don't have this machine but watching this I would guess the plastic sliding thumb thing (that you moved to uncover the basket release button, ) it is there to assist in taking the basket out of the machine one handed... looks like sliding it while pulling out the basket will put pressure against the machine body to counter act the pull force.. try it there and let me know please..

[@kosinda]

Yes, it helps a lot, it's clear to me now that it was designed this way. Thx, I've been using my for a week and didn't figure that one out by myself.

[@jessebella9322]

Getting it today for sure, Ive been on the fence but now I see nothing but good stuff about it, why not and for 100 quid (125 euro here in Germany), well, cant really go wrong.

[@jenniferdunning6183]

Got to prop draw up for it to work

[@ritabrundige2375]

Please review the cosori dual blaze air fryer.

[@alanboyle9182]

But wouldn’t the burger be cold after waiting for the fries? And you should use a little oils on the fries also??

[@NavaroneGarcia]

Just sent this 5.8q Pro back (that double basket thing is a horrible design and I knew things would go wrong, it already chipped from having to jam it in with the ridiculous handle to lock it in place) to order the 5q. Other than the design flaws, I really liked it and look forward to my new Cosori coming and not having to deal with washing two baskets LOL

[@honkhonk1555]

So what was the main problem. I’ve seen many people enjoy the dual basket design. I’m not judging, just asking cause I’m in the market right now. Thanks in advance.

[@Timewaits4no1]

There are some real benefits to having a dual basket design. It allows you to dump your food directly onto a plate instead of having to fish it out of the hot air-fryer. Also if you make bacon and other food, there is no risk of dumping grease onto your fresh food, because the grease drips down into the primary pan

[@NavaroneGarcia]

@@Timewaits4no1 I don't fish the food out. I can still dump it. I don't kiss the Pro at all

[@lisaporteous3689]

so while cooking fries your burger was getting cold? Can't you cook both together?

[@SarahWRah]

So how cold was your burger patty after waiting for the fries to cook? That's what I see as the drawback for air fryer cooking.

[@mmortada1978]

Very nice details 👌 please continue 🙏

[@jessebella9322]

Innit funny how many people do not understand pre heating, even on normal ovens. When I met my now wife, she never did it and always either over cooked stuff by leaving it in there much longer trying to get it right or it was never cooked as she took it out to early, pizzas were the worst. I had to show her why pre heating is best etc lol She still cant cook to save her life but at least she pre heats

[@jenniferdunning6183]

Can I cook meat roast joints in this

[@elainewillms5099]

How come nobody ever shows how to clean the elements and fan area? They only ever show cleaning the bottom of the air fryer. So how do you go about cleaning it because I’m sure it gets greasy and disgusting. Any suggestions?

[@chrissie.0864]

I am just about to purchase an air fryer and am sitting on the fence as I don’t know whether to go for this model or the duel blaze - has anyone been using this model and now using the duel blaze to give an honest comparison please ?

[@ivanvelez7668]

hi, I have a question about this air fryer. I just got it from amazon today. Still hasnt been opened just yet. I decided to see a video regarding the cosori air fryer 5.8 qt xl.. Did you clean the cosori air fryer before cooking your first meal? How did you clean it.

[@ImChillToo]

Yes sir, I did. I cleaned it with warm, soapy water and a dish rag. Once you open it, the user manual will have a section of what to do before using it. Follow those steps, and you should be good to go.

[@ivanvelez7668]

thank you. another question, do you use any cooking oil spray when making frozen chicken breasts? is pam cooking spray ok to use on the frozen chicken breasts and in the basket as well?

Is anyone else have a hard time opening and closing the drawer? Makes a lot of noise opening and closing. And seems to need an excessive amount of force to insert and pull out the tray.

[@ImChillToo]

Yes. Mine is the same, as well as a friends. The basket “locks” into the air fryer when you put it in. It’s a safety feature, so that a child can’t easily remove a hot basket. On the top side of your basket, look in front of the clear plastic guard. There’s a ‘recessed notch’ to the front & left of the clear plastic piece. That’s what’s connecting the basket to the air fryer.

[@SK1MD]

@@ImChillToo I see. Thank you so much!

[@Colin623]

No need to preheat, because as soon as you open the door all the preheated air is released into the room , so pretty pointless really as well as wasting money !

[@Paul-ng4jx]

Duel blaze is better and has a 6.8q

[@georgecurtis6463]

Mine quit one year to the day. All so called simple fixes were not the problem. Seems they do have many issues. Everything runs including the fan but produces no heat. Tested heating element and it's working. I suspect the coil relay after some checks and testing. The fact that cosori cant make a simple device because it is, to last a year is pathetic. So we went out and bought a differant brand and it cooks better. So my recommendations is to not buy cosori.
