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

After trying another brand and returning it, I found this one and am very pleased with it! It's small so it doesn't take up much counter space (see photo), it looks beautiful not just a big box, a touch-sensitive lighted control panel that is very easy to read and intuitive, and a lovely color and finish. The interior is of course non-stick. Very quiet. It even comes with an optional sticker for common settings (which I added to mine). No more mechanical dials that break! Also lots of customer support and a website full of air fryer recipes. I'm really looking forward to using it.

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.

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.

It great for a small space on the counter. Great for single people. Easy to clean. I already have one and brought it for my sister.

Perfect size for small kitchen counter, high performance. Noise is very settle, easy to clean. Cooling time made easy

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.

I find use of this air fryer quick and simple and that it is best for a single person, since it is on the small side.

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 !
