COSORI - 12-in-1 Air Fryer 5.8QT

I have the cosori 5.8 and use it daily. It is big enough just for me. I knew nothing about air fryers when I got it - I just wanted one that worked with alexa. It turned out to be a good choice and it seems to be a popular model.

I think a smaller one would be better unless you are cooking for a family. I am a single guy and have a 5.8 qt cosori (basket) and it can do everything you mention without taking up counter space or emptying your wallet. Well, maybe not a whole roast. I have a larger toaster oven type that I very seldom use because it takes longer to heat and it works harder to maintain the heat. Fortunately it is part of a microwave combo so it is not just sitting there gathering dust.

I cook for me only and have a 5.8quart cosori. It is better than a smaller ones since most recipes call for single layers for better air flow.

I have a cosori and it is 5.8 quart. It will cook for 2.5 but one dish at a time. I do cook both the meat and veggetables at the same time but it is just me. I would suggest getting the toaster oven style air fryer if you want to cook for that many and a couple of dishes at the same time.

It is just me and I have a 5.8 cosori. It is a perfect fit for me, especially since it works with alexa. I would suggest no matter what brand you get, 5.8 should be around the size you want. Cosori and Ninja seems to be the two most popular ones mentioned in this sub. You don't need anything with a bunch of fancy features.

as a single person, I have the cosori 5.8. It is just right for most things. It is just big enough to put a burger into it and toast the buns at the same time. or cook a ribeye steak, vegetables and a small to medium bake potato at the same time. You can do wings and fries at the same time. In other words, you can do whole meals in it with the right combination of choices. I would strongly urge you to get at least a 5.8 sized air fryer, no matter the brand. as far a chickpeas, no idea, never cooked them, not even sure if I ever had them.

Can recommend the cosori

I currently use the Cosori sold on Amazon. I also have used and liked the Gourmia airfryer from Costco. Never tried the Ninja one, but I have other Ninja appliances.

I really love my trusty Cosori 5.8, which is 17th on this list... ... now I want to know what I am missing...

Wow! This is a great response to the FOMO crowd, and to my comment. I love my Cosori, and I already have a 2nd basket thanks to the old recall that netted me a replacement for a year-old machine that never had any problems. I suspect most people love whatever appliance they purchased if it just works, which skews these sort of popularity contests.

Yeah, had my first one a year before they sent me a new one due to the recall: Now I have two baskets!

I finally got one and I got the Corsori 5.8 qt. And I love it. I just wish it had the dehydrate option .

Right! I just don’t like how loud it is. Is yours loud ?

same, that’s what i have. other than the recall due to some setting on fire (they sent me a new one free of cost) it’s fantastic, i use it at least 1-2 times a day. going on year 3

I was eyeballing that Ninja dual basket on because it has the removable center divider to allow it to be a large single as well. It has some sync functions to put two different recipes in and it will delay the start of the faster dish. That said, I ended up with the Corsori 5.8 qt single as I didn't think I'd be getting that "fancy".

I have the Ninja with 2 baskets. I also have a single basket Cosori. I like both of them. Cosori just wasn't big enough. The only thing I don't like with the Ninja is that it doesn't have a preheat function. You can preheat, but just have to do it manually. Easier with the Cosori. I am happy with both of them. Just depends on if you want to cook 2 different things at once. I often make fish or chicken in one basket and veggies in the other.

I used to have a cosori countertop one which was fine but definitely not BIFL. Just moved and new house has in induction range where the oven includes a convection oven which works beautifully as an air fryer and feels pretty sturdy like a well made oven that will last many years

I was happy with my 7-quart model, my first air fryer, but ended up getting rid of it because it was just too big for me and took up a lot of counter space. I ended up with a significantly smaller 5.8qt Cosari that I'm very happy with.

OG Cosori 5.8qt - No matter which you get, don't skimp on size and get the basket style. Front opening style is just a glorified toaster oven.

I also have the Consori 5.8 and I live alone. I’ve been very satisfied with the size of the air fryer. I will say mine had to be replaced by the manufacturer due to a recall and the new replacement model has a little more of a rattle which I find mildly irritating but otherwise it’s been great. And I was actually just planning to try roasting chickpeas in it. I usually do it in my toaster oven but I’m going to give it a try. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work perfectly well.

I have owned two Cosori air fryers (one 13 & 1 air fryer toaster oven & one 5.8 quart) for 6 years & they are still going strong 6 years after the fact My husband recently purchased the KitchenAid Dual Fan air fryer toaster ovens at a steep discount ($99 - versus $289 regular price) It's a beautiful machine, but I'm 100% sure that it will not last as long as my Cosori air fryer ovens ($80-$169 depending on the model)

I have a Cosori 5.8 qt air fryer and it's almost big enough for me depending on what I cook. I can't imagine 2 people trying to make dinner in a 5.8 qt air fryer. My suggestion is to look at one of those air fryers with the French doors as they seem to have a larger capacity than normal basket airfryers and have racks.

I got mine replaced late in the year and the shipping of the new one was really fast.

I got an upgrade. I had the 3.7 quart one and I received the 5.8 quart one.

I have both, Ninja oven style, Cosori basket style.  I quit using the oven style 6 months ago. Oven style:  Basically a small oven.  Only thing it does better is larger pizza, more cookies.  It heats from top and bottom, so no flipping.  Has window so you can watch stuff burn. More "stuff" gets spattered on all 6 sides, including more fragile heating elements ("stuff" hard to or won't clean off).  Can get hot on top.  No non-stick. Basket style:  Better/stronger circulation. Food cooks faster & gets crisper. It's MUCH easier to clean non stick surfaces (1 minute after each use).  Fan is quieter (at least on my Cosori Turbo).  A cheap toaster is a must.  My Cosori was half the price of the Ninja, does a much better job, and takes up less countertop space.

Well, the older design is still available to purchase new so based on your description, you've bought an older design. Which has a fully removable basket, as compared to the newer models that have a grate/plate at the bottom of the unit that is removable for cleaning. I also prefer the older design because there are times grease or drippings stay in the bottom while I use the removable basket to take out my food.
