Cosori Lite 2.1 Qt Small Air Fryer, Ceramic Coating, 4-in-1, 97% less oil

I purchased the Cosori mini air fryer because of its small size. I decided on the Cosori because it’s probably the smallest overall size and I leave my fryer out on the counter. I have used the fryer first time to cook Trader J’s potatoes bell pepper and onion, the potatoes turned out great, onions slightly overcooked because they were cut too fine (delicate) - it will take a bit of learning curve as the air frying temp default is at 400 degrees and what you are cooking. For my first use, I’m happy with the results, it works well. One last thing, the instructions tell you to keep the back of the fryer 5 inches away from a wall as there is a air vent in back to allow proper air circulation, all fryers have similar requirements. There are a few 2 quart air fryers available on Amazon. You can search best mini/smallest air fryers or view a video by “Just a Dads Video” entitled Best Mini Air Fryer 2 Quart Comparison NINJA, INSTANT, COSORI, DASH Back To School. A good comparison of four mini fryers available and has 3 of the more popular brands in the review. The Basket Dimensions (D x W x H): 5.9 x 6.2 x 3.5 in, it’s small but great for single and couple…small but consider what you will be cooking….. UPDATE 09/08/24: I use with the factory settings for air frying, smaller pieces of food brown quickly, you can adjust if you have the same problem, I notice this when cooking frozen french fries. adjust trial by error method to obtain you preference, glad this unit has a adjustment for temp and time to get better results. Overall, am pleased with the performance and the 2 quart capacity. Recommend this product. 04/18/25 Update: I purchased the Cosori in June 2024,, I use the air fryer lightly and it’s performs perfectly as when purchased. Corsair recommends washing after each use, if you wash after each use, this will keep the unit from picking up odors from previously cooked foods and make cleaning easier rather than a deep cleans if left with old oil and food scraps and continue ing to cook next nights meal - it’s easy to clean and highly recommend regular washing, please use non-scratch blue pads, not the green backed sponge… there are people who don’t know how abrasive the green scrubbers are. I don’t know why, but some of my friends don’t wash their air fryers regularly. As I stated in my original review, I decided on the Cosori over the 2.0 quart Instapot because the overall footprint was smaller. This decision was proven out when I was able to purchase the Instapot 2.0 quart for $5 and had the opportunity to compare the two fryers. The Corsori is definitely smaller in size, refer to photo. Though these are both same size (Corsori 2.1 qt - Instapot 2.0 qt. The inside dimensions comparison: The Corsori is “smaller” (6.25 x 6.0 x 3.25 height with tray) to Instapot (6.75 x 6.75 x 2.5 height with tray), Cosori is smaller but taller than and this review update help you decide on what air fryer to purchase. Lastly, the control systems are different, with the Corsori you change temp and time by pressing a button, with the Instapot you rotate the knob to change temp and time, which is quicker to change. The video I referenced in my original review shows the tray falling out when turned over…. The tray stays in the basket via the silicon feet that comes the the unit…not clear why his video shows the tray so loose. Cleaning… search web for videos on cleaning, cleaning inside fryer heating coils and general area will keep fryer from picking up food / burnt on food odors.

Bought used but it was brand new in the box. I figured I would take a chance as some of the items I returned are never used or really unpacked due to wrong size Etc. Did go through the warm up/ burn off cycle outside on the deck just in case there was the usual plastic smell on first use. Tried it out at default setting of 400 at 15 minutes for tater tots and pizza rolls. Did Shake the basket halfway through and they came out excellent as you can see in the video. Great purchase for $33. Perfect for one person or two light eaters. Would definitely buy again. Cooking speed is good, doesn't make any noise really and the beep at the end is low enough that it's not screaming in your ear but you can still hear it. Super easy to clean. Very happy with performance.

Whether I’m reheating leftovers or making a quick snack, it delivers perfectly crispy results every time — all without the extra oil. Its compact size makes it ideal for small kitchens or apartments, and it’s especially great if you’re cooking for one. It doesn’t take up much counter space, and I love that I can easily store it away when I’m not using it. What really impressed me is how well it revives leftovers. Fries, pizza, wings — they come out hot, crispy, and honestly better than when I first ordered them. It also heats up fast, cooks evenly, and runs quietly, which is perfect for late-night cravings when I don’t want to wake anyone up. Cleaning is a breeze too — the nonstick basket wipes down easily or can go straight into the dishwasher. The app includes a bunch of recipes that are great if you’re looking to try something new, and I genuinely appreciate that it uses way less oil while still keeping that golden, crunchy texture. Just a heads-up, this air fryer is definitely meant for smaller portions. It’s perfect for snacks or solo meals, but not something I’d use to cook for a group. Also, the manual dial is super simple to use, but don’t expect any digital features or presets. Overall, if you’re looking for a small but mighty air fryer that’s easy to use, easy to clean, and actually makes leftovers exciting again, this is it. I’m seriously obsessed.

I am giving this Cosori 2.1 QT air fryer 4 out of 5 stars because the air fryer itself did not have any problem. It is small, compact, and seems like a good option for simple meals, snacks, or someone who does not need a large air fryer. For me personally, it did not work perfectly because I had some difficulty figuring out the right cooking time and temperature. I tried cooking with it a few times, but the food came out either undercooked or overcooked. I think this may have been more about my own experience using an air fryer rather than a defect with the product. Overall, the air fryer appears to be well made and easy to clean. It is probably a good choice for people who already know how to use air fryers or are willing to experiment with the settings until they find what works best.

I purchased the Cosori CAF-LI211 Mini Air Fryer 2 months ago. So far, I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! In fact, I am trying to remember what my life was like more than 2 months ago, before I owned this little Cosori. This size is perfect for one person. I cannot imagine it would be large enough for 2 persons, but it depends how much they eat, I guess. I have minimal counter space in my kitchen, so I don't have the space for anything larger. I have to store this Mini in the pantry and put it on the countertop to use, which is not a problem at all, it's very lightweight to move around, but it's not completely tiny, so does take up some space. It is VERY easy to clean. Sometimes all that's needed is to dump out any "crumbs" left behind, then wipe with a paper towel. Other times, just put the cooking basket in the sink, squirt a few drops of Dawn detergent in there, fill with hot water and swish around, then after a few minutes dump it out and rinse with hot water and either air dry or wipe dry with dish towel. Soooo easy. The non-stick surface of the cooking basket is wonderful. I use my Cosori mini at least once daily, but sometimes multiple times per day. Saying I LOVE it is an understatement!! Alot of what I cook in the Mini fryer can also be cooked in a countertop toaster oven - I have a Breville Smart Pro countertop Convection oven; however, as great as that Breville is, if what I want to eat fits inside the Cosori's cooking basket, I'll use the Cosori because there, food cooks faster than the Breville, turns out crispier and is less mess. And probably uses less energy too. (but I do love my Breville, too and couldn't live without it either!) I am attaching a few photos to show the types of things I like to cook in this Cosori mini. Nothing complicated. These are things that can be bought in any grocery store, already cut up and frozen, in bags or boxes. All these things turn out very well in the Cosori mini fryer. What's not pictured, but that I cook often, are brussel sprouts, french fries and single burger patties that come in a box or bag (personally, I eat only the plant-based stuff, but a real meat patty/burger could be cooked in it too) Before I ordered my Cosori mini, I did read ALL the reviews and saw that some folks had a problem with a piece of the cooking basket breaking off, therefore rendering the entire fryer unusable because the basket would no longer lock in place. This apparently happened to several people. I would be sick if this happened to mine, but, the Cosori has a 2-year warranty, so I'm keeping my purchase receipt and all records and I'll be *on* the manufacturer if this should happen to my Cosori. Being forewarned of this possible breakage, I handle the basket gently when pulling it out or inserting it back into the fryer. I do HIGHLY recommend this mini fryer, after using it every single day for 2 months straight.

Noob. New to air fryers. I think I'm a fan. I like the ease of use for this small batch air cooking. I don't have to heat up the oven or pan fry with oil. Smell? I see lots of comments on smell. I wiped the machine down and ran it through 2 preheat cycles and it seemed fine to me. Food was great, no smell. Bacon! I see lots of comments on how well it does bacon. This is small and fine for 2 people, but bacon is limited to maybe 4 strips. We tend to do much more bacon than that or we bake multiple pounds and freeze the extra. This keeps the "bacon house smell" to 1 shot instead of a multiple bacon house smell for small batches. Veggies! Big fan, it does a perfect job toasting veggies. Fries! So much faster and easier than using our large convection oven. The default setting did not work best for me and frozen Ore-Ida fries. I had to shorten the time for the shoestring. The crispness is great, so big fan. I'll figure out the sweet spot. Note: Fries setting is a two-step cook, so modifying the setting. This negates the 2-step cook cycle as I read the docs. Update: This is a burner on top unit, so I find flipping sandwiches gets and even toast on both sides. The smart function does allow you to turn on the fryer with Alexa, so I leave the basket out, so the fryer can't be turned on by accident.

This is a really cute and durable air fryer! I don’t write reviews much but wanted to share my positive experience. I’ve had it for 2 years and have been so happy with it. After a bit of time a small part on the drawer came off, I reached out to support and they were kind enough to send a brand new one to me for free, even out of warranty.

I love this air fryer! I recently lost my husband of 50 years and found it very hard to cook for just one person. I decided to try an air fryer. Due to limited counter space, I purchased a 2 qt. first and it was way too small, I couldn't have put a slice of pizza in it. I found this one that was a perfect fit for my space but it was an 'amazon resale' and I was apprehensive. I took the chance and purchased it. It was perfectly packed with all the documentation, etc. and it looked brand new. It was apparently returned unused like the one that I previously purchased and returned. I just cooked a rib eye steak and real (not frozen) french fries in less than 30 minutes and it all turned out perfect. It was very quiet and cleanup was a breeze. I guess I'll start eating real food again. Thank you Cosori.

Cook a perfect steak, very easy to use

It’s small but handy. I had limited storage space so it was a solution. It reheats really well too. Not something I had planned to use it for. And the price was right. I would have liked white but it’s fine and it’s a practical colour.

Después de usarla un rato, puedo decir que la comida se cocina muy bien. Trae recetario y su tamaño está perfecto para una o dos personas.

Very small Good for 1 person only

N a pas fonctionner !
