COSORI - Smart WiFi Air Fryer 5.8qt (CS358-AF)

I have the joule oven (their wifi enabled version) and it’s made my life so much easier. They have a free app that helps me get cook times and temps just right and it’s constantly updating. If I’m cooking foods dripping with oil I use the bake pan with the mini wire rack. Or if I use the air fry basket I put a tray on the bottom rack to catch drippings. I live in a household of 4 adults, 2 men 2 women and this has helped me cooked plenty of meals. Admittedly, it is complicated if you’re trying to clean the inside oven if it gets all greased up. But anything caught on the heating elements burn off anyways. To avoid shredding my sponges every time, I use a stiff bristle brush and Dawn power wash to clean the basket. I love it and had it for an over a year. The pizza tray and roasting pan are nonstick, however the pizza pan easily scratches if you cut on it. Personally the key hightlight compared to basket fryers is that you get a lot more space to cook more food, and odds are that you’re not thinking about cleaning the fan in your basket fryer

It's the one I have but it's the second one I bought. I originally bought the cosori wifi enabled and returned it. The alarm/beeper/buzzer was ungodly loud and had no volume control. I like the one I have. Works well, I use it quite a bit.

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 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 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 ?

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 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.

It is my first and only so far. No problems with it other than a recall a couple of years back. But what don't get recall these days. I like that it works with alexa and use it daily. Unless you get a lemon, you will not go wrong with getting one.

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.

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.

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 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.

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)

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.

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 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 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.
