Don't Buy This If You Are A First Time Air Fryer User ... Actually Skip It Altogether
First of all I have a Cosori 5.8 air fryer which I love. I wanted a slightly larger capacity one and my husband was keen on this. I know there are a lot of good reviews but I don't agree with them. This is a new product which cooks differently from the one I have. It comes with meager instructions and guidance on how to use it. It has no preheat setting. You have to do manual preheating. It has a slanted pan which seems great until you get a grease build up that smokes. My other Cosori doesn't smoke with equal foods. It has no recipe booklet to get you started. You have to guess a ton more on temperature settings as you do not have detailed instructions or many user posted YouTube videos to go by. It easily overcooks food using normal air fryer cooking temperatures and time because of the second element. It has no setting (sound) for flipping or rearranging food as it claims to not need it ... don't buy into that. Cosori claims that there are over a hundred recipes on their VeSync App for this model which is false. Basically it is a stripped down software model with an extra element which actually adds to the complexity of how to air fry. It seems to me if you introduce a new concept model into a product lineup you should at least provide expanded information on how to use it. Sure you can spend lots of extra time and wasted money on poorly cooked food to figure out how it functions but that doesn't lend itself to the whole idea of making life easier in my opinion. Or you can buy an air fryer that has good instructions, lots of user recipes and at a much lower price. Cosori has been throwing out new models quickly, some of which I have tried, and which I believe under perform. First time buyers should check YouTube videos for the air fryers that people most frequently use to post recipes. That is a much better gauge on what to buy. I am stuck with this white elephant and until Cosori supports it's new products better it will be my last Cosori.
