COSORIAir Fryer Lite 3.8L, 75-230℃, Amazon Exclusive, 7 Cooking Functions, Smart Control, 1500W, 1-3 Portions, Free with 110+ Online Recipes Cookbook, Dishwasher Safe, Grey

Easy to use and cooks food well.Easy to keep clean although I do use liners.Not yet tried any of their recipes but I can highly recommend cooking chicken thighs and drumsticks using this air fryer. If you enjoy crispy chicken skin and succulent meat then this is the perfect air fryer to use.Last night I added some Cajun seasoning to six drumsticks and cooked them at 200'C for 20 minutes, I then added a large, diced red bell pepper and cooked that with the chicken for <10 minutes, before finally laying the slices of garlic bread on top and cooking for a further 5 minutes.Result.....The chicken had beautifully crispy skin on the outside while the meat was moist and succulent within.The diced bell pepper was al dente and lightly charred around some edges.The garlic bread that I'd (previously) slowly defrosted, reheated well when laid on top of the meat and veg.It was delicious!Tonight, I will have some of the leftover seasoned chicken drumsticks with a mixed salad.This is proof that this air fryer can produce quick, healthy, nutritious and economical meals in less than half the time it would take in a conventional oven.Please note:I would strongly recommend using a good quality meat probe to ensure than each item is cooked thoroughly and to a safe temperature before serving.Bon appetit!

I already had another Cosori airfryer the 3.5L which is fine for just me or 1 other. So when I have more guests I needed a bigger one - the 4.7L.So far I have cooked: carrots, onions, tomatoes and parsnips (superb and crispy). A topside of beef (perfect, but do cover the whole joint in foil). Fish and chips using the accessory wire rack for the fish and put chips in the bottom - it's best to shake half way through.My new Cosori is very quiet and takes up only a little extra room compared to my 3.5L.I thoroughly recommend this make. Good quality, easy to register and easy to keep clean (I bought 2 silicone baskets). It's on offer at a very good price too.

The “Good”:- Easy to clean (when new, the non-stick is super easy to clean although you do need to be careful to get in around those four little rubber grippers on the crisper tray- Pre-heats REALLY quickly: ready to go in four minutes, and if you are in a real hurry you can put your food straight in while it pre-heats and it's starting to warm up within a minute or two- The outside and cupboard I have it in stays nice and cool – the outside doesn't heat up too much or seem dangerously hot anywhere.- It does cook things quickly: much quicker than my oven. So it saves me time and (some) electricity costs.- It makes really nice fries and crispy things, but I've found that it really is crucial to shake/flip things. Anywhere items are touching they will not crispen up, so you need to shake and turn throughout the cooking period: at least once but more is better.- The beep is a good volume: not crazy loud, but loud enough to hear clearly (unlike my new oven!)- The display is nice and clear and bright.- The crisper tray makes a big difference because hot air can get underneath the food. I tried using paper air fryer liners, and they do save cleaning the non-stick drawer and crisper tray, but the food does not crispen up as well.- It's really not too noisy. It does make some noise, but I'd read about noisy air fryers and was fearing the worst. This is not the noisiest appliance in my kitchen and doesn’t bother me when it is on.- Like other air fryers, it isn't, of course, really frying. It's like a really good fan oven, so you can make really good oven chips and crispen things up like you could in a great oven, but it's obviously not really "frying" them like advertising wants you to think!The “Could be Even Better”:- I haven't used any of the "programmes" so far. The only one I went to try (chips) the temperature and time were very different from what the pack said and what I wanted. I just set the temperature and time each time I cook something, which is really quick to do.- Because there's no window, to check on your food you need to pull the drawer out, and this cancels the Shake function, which means a quick check early on might mean you then don't get the reminder to shake half way through- I really wish it showed seconds on the timer, not just minutes. I see it's on "1" and think, "Great, it's nearly done, I'll stand by it and get my food as soon as it stops", and that is the longest one minute of the day! If I knew it had 60s left I'd get something else done while it finishes, whereas if it said "10s to go" I'd know I could walk over and get my food as the beeps start. I'd much rather they dropped the cooking "programmes" that rarely match what I want and instead added seconds digits to the timer.- The mechanism that locks the drawer in place is sufficiently stiff that when you put the drawer back in, in order to push it in far enough to get cooking to start again the whole machine tends to slide back on the shelf. The drawer mechanism is too stiff.- After it's finished, the lights on the display go off and sometimes the power button stays orange. I instinctively press that to get the other controls to light up but instead it turns it off! The whole off/orange/bright colour scheme of the buttons doesn't feel intuitive to me at all.- My kids figure the air fryer is like an oven so they don't need to clean it after use. I go to use it and find it's got fat/oil and food bits left in it quite regularly!This is our first air fryer, and both my wife and I really like it.

I was initially a little sceptical about buying this, it was a brand I'd never heard of and seemed a low price for an electrical cooking item - which does often concern me when the High Temperature/Low Price equation comes into play.However now after 3 months of use I have to say I'm pleased with it. We tend to just cook simple things in it - sausages, bacon, baked potatoes (after starting in the microwave) and with a little playing around on times and temperatures it does an exceptionally good job.I can't comment on the non-stick capabilities of the cooking pan as we always use some flexible silicon liners (These are dimensions 17D x 17W x 5H centimetres - you do lose some cooking capacity but easy to clean in the dishwasher).Pros:The controls are nice, clear and easy to wipe clean.For the two people its capacity is pretty much perfect.It doesn't take up much counter space.It cooks fairly evenly, particularly if you use the 'Shake' function to remind you to rearrange the food a bit at the halfway point.Cons:Well there is only one really. The matt grey plastic finish (which is attractive initially) really does show the oily fingerprint marks which are inevitable in use and I've not found it that easy to clean them off (but that may be down to me and what I'm using).Summary:For the £55.99 GBP I paid it is very good value for money in my view and has so far been a successful addition to the kitchen but an easier to clean exterior finish would be appreciated in future models.
