Build & Design

The appliance has a square basket, which allows more surface area compared to round baskets. The digital touchscreen is simple to use. At the same time, the 5-quart size may feel small for families larger than 4 people.

The air fryer is relatively bulky for compact kitchens, even if the footprint is smaller than larger-capacity models.

Cooking Performance

In testing with common foods:

• French Fries – Even crispiness in 12–15 minutes
• Chicken Wings – Cooked through, with good browning
• Frozen Snacks – Consistent heating without sogginess
• Steak/Fish – Achieves sear due to 450°F max temp

Preheating takes around 3 minutes. Noise level is moderate, not silent but not disruptive.

Ease of Use & Cleaning

• Controls: Presets make it straightforward, though manual adjustment is sometimes more accurate.
• Cleaning: The basket is dishwasher-safe; however, the nonstick layer may wear down over time due to frequent use.
• Maintenance: No additional parts included beyond the basket.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Verdict

The COSORI 9-in-1 works well for individuals, couples, or small families. It delivers consistent cooking results, but the 5-quart capacity is not ideal for larger households. At its price, it competes with models from Ninja and Instant, offering slightly higher temperature but less capacity than some alternatives.
