5 Month Cosori 5.8 Qt Airfryer Review UPDATE 

I purchased one of these a couple months ago. I love it. For cleaning - I put it in the sink and fill it with soapy water after each use. Let is sit a few minutes then give it a quick wipe down and let it air dry. I also wipe out the bottom, sides and top of the inside of the air fryer itself. It takes seconds and it's done. Much easier than cleaning your frying pan and then trying to get all the grease of the top of your stove. If you are cooking something really greasy like chicken wings you can add a little water (couple of tablespoons) to the bottom of the pan and that will keep it from smoking.

I bought mine in 2019 and it still works great! The vents in the basket are clogging more due to slight wear of the non stick coating, but a toothbrush cleans it all out just fine.

Add a little water or a piece of bread in the bottom between the air fryer basket and the bucket when cooking greasy or oily foods that should take care of your smoke issues. Works for me. 👍

Dude, if you clean the thing after every use, then you won't have any cons!! All of your cons (except size) are associated with not cleaning the unit after every use. I love this thing!! Haven't had any of your problems. Did have my heater coil stop working but contacted the company and they sent out a brand new unit with no problems. Cleanliness is next to Godliness!!!

Your cons with this machine are all solvable - soak the basket as soon as you have taken cooked food out, dry on kitchen towel to allow water to drain completely. Wipe the machine out after each use and maybe deep clean once a month. As for it dripping when you take it to you plate, for goodness sake what’s wrong with you???? Take your plate to the machine (sorry dogs one less treat) and the very obvious - cut your steaks before you freeze them. I have the very same machine and I love it! Have a good day 😀

Thank you for this review! to help with the smoke when cooking meats i saw another person show that she pours some water into the bottom under the basket that catches the oils and fats that drip and eliminates the smoking. just thought i'd pass that along! :)

Thanks for the excellent review! Been going crazy trying to review all the available AF models out there (there are a lot, and it gets overwhelming). The Cosori overall has pretty much the best reviews, but every AF that I've come across has some negatives about it from people. What I really wanted was a toaster oven/air fryer unit which will hold more food, but we just don't have the counter space, so hopefully this will work well and be big enough. Thanks again!

I think I'm going to get the new model Cosori. It has programmable pre-sets.

I love the 5.8QT Instant Vortex Plus in the Bucket style. The bucket only has a vented tray in the bottom of the which makes it easier to clean & doesn't make your cooking area smaller by having a vented basket inside the bucket like the Cosori. Check it out 👍

Here in the UK I have a 4ltr (3.5 qtz??) and I love it. They do have their limitations but are so convenient. I also have a large Halogen glass bowl oven which is more versatile as I can cook liquids in it without it being blown all over the insides. All ovens will need cleaning. For the basket, after cooking I just leave it in the pan and pour an inch or so of hot water in the bottom with washing up soap and leave 20 mins. everything is then easy to wipe off. Occasionally I unplug the device and lay it on its back with the basket removed, the n it's simple to clean with a damp cloth. Nice video, I've subscribed.

Thanks, I came here to get motivation to buy cosori but in whole video I watched you and now im wanting cosori and you

Lol, scrubbie pad commits suicide (on the left part of the screen @ 5:42) when it finds out, it's not cleaning the Cosori well enough. Lol.

I throw mine in the dish washer every night, and it cleans beautifully! I wouldn't want to clean it by hand.

Good helpful review. I am looking to upgrade from my 3.8 qt air fryer and this Cosori could work for me. I am also looking at air fryer toaster ovens.

Your honest review is appreciated..thanks!

Maybe try to soak it after very use. Do not wait to long before you clean it. ALL air fryers need to be cleaned every time.

Put aluminum foil non stick to avoid cleaning often. Thank me later.

Thank you. This was helpful as I currently looking to purchase. Just on the size of my family alone, I'm going to lean toward something bigger.

Just bought this today and watching your review of it! Also subscribed, hope to see more videos man 🤙🏻

I cook whole chicken in my corsori the size your advising it and I have no trouble it cooks so nice with steak and chops it's the same and cleaning soak in soapy water leave for 10 mins and then rose and dry so easy

Was thinking of buying this but as it has so many cons regarding cleaning, leaking etc I'll pass.Good review!

Appreciate the review I was just looking into this answered all my questions

I've heard of the handles of these units melting and falling apart over time. How has the handle held up over time for you?

Maybe after you pour the grease out you should wipe it clean any dry before starting to cook something else in it. I’got a cosori air fryer and Ive never experienced that dripping coming out of it. I clean my air fryer well after every use. I’ve made everything you can think of in it. I think if you got a big family you need to think about the size before you buy an air fryer especially if you like cooking giant steaks you would need something bigger.

Add some water at the bottom of the holder to prevent the smoking. Wipe the inside after EVERY use to avoid the build up (and outside) Remember you knew the size when you purchased it!!

Quick wipe inside after every use , takes 15 seconds , wash basket after every use takes 4 mins ,simples

I have watched many videos n this fryer but have never heard anything about dripping...of course most people take the plate to the stove if that is how they serve food, others use platters and bowls but you still take the dish to the pot.! as for cleaning just submerge into soapy water and I use a soft bristle long handle brush and give it a few swipes in the crevasses if you have a dishwasher I understand they are safe in this machine.....I would probably have my basket cleaned and drying by the time you got it in the DW.

Cleaning is part of cooking

to combat smoke use high smoke point oil (advocado oil works great)

I like your critique, but agree you cannot compare something at all that is 1/3 the size...also, just have to say, I think most of your smoke/drip etc issues are cleanliness related! You cannot cook steaks and heavily greasy/oily meats like duck, and not clean it after EVERY USE inside the unit and the baskets!! I mean I know you are a guy, but come on...

Cleaning your oven, your pots, and pans, your kitchen, and your air fry it is not a con. Also you’re supposed to clean it between uses so you don’t cook your steak in it leave the gristle in it and then cook something else on top of it and complain that it’s leaking grease everywhere that’s just nasty.

Hi. Thanks for the video. In the beginning you said “Hopefully you can hear me” and then proceeded to add a mindless backing music that helped to mask your voice. I think it would be much better to not have the music when you’re talking. It’s distracting, and for me and others, anxiety producing. Thanks for considering this. 😊

The customer service sucks. My control pad wouldn't operate properly and after finally telling me it wasn't covered because I bought it from a close-out store I had to take it apart and fix the panel myself. Now it works great.

I ordered this air fryer from Amazon. I'm waiting for it to arrive today. Thanks for your reviews on it. I was wondering about the clean up. Most reviews or recipe ideas just show the actual cooking. I couldn't find anything on cleaning it. Thank you for adding that. What about up over the basket? Is there a way to clean that area?

The review was helpful. The music in the “background” was very annoying. It was hard to hear you.

Great video! I was wondering about the ease of cleanup. This seems like more work than I want. Thanks for the info!

Great info

Thank you for this review, it was very informative. I'm about to buy one here in UK. x

Good reviews but I won't be able to watch again due to you using background music. I saw bad reviews on background music in a prior review and was sorry to see you had music in this updated review. No music in the background would be best, easier to watch and hear.

I just bought this air fryer and it is a bit tough to pull out. It seems to just slide out in this video. Has anyone else had this problem or know of some kind of solution to it?

You said if you had a bigger budget, you'd get something different. Which one would you get? And are you still using the big boss one?

Hy ,how much it take to make 300gr franch fryes ?

I love your backsplash!!!!!!!!!!!

Great review! Thanks!

Do you have 3 baskets? I just have the outer basket then a flat crisper accessory...

Good review. You could do a commercial. I'm buying one.

You need to clean the inside on a normal oven anyway, dont`ya?

Love it .. it’s amazing ...

Just got mine only two of us sometime 3 and seniors so we don’t eat like we used to we share a steak now LOL

mine is loud while its cooking..is it normal?

Try using wax paper to cook sticky things with. I did it yesterday for the first time with some buffalo chicken and it worked like a charm! Other than a little grease that escaped, clean up literally took one wipe! Be sure to cover the edges. I used a different air fryer but I'm sure it will work on all.

Can't you put the basket in the dishwasher?

You need to clean air fryers after every use

Thx for the review, I’m currently thinking of buying this one or a gowise. It’s hard to make up my mind!

Is this teflon coating? I'm looking for a non toxic coating air fryer.

Hi did your airfryer got any scratch from where the basket sits in?

I have this and the large Halogen, sorted. .

great video, but pouring grease down the sink is bad.

how long do you set the timer to heat up cold 🍕?

I got one of these for Christmas, so first time using one, being a bachelor I'm more inclined to use it for french fries, etc. probably a dumb ? for you air fryer experts but directions say to add a tablespoon of oil for some foods for added crispness, do you sort of brush the food with oil, or just put the oil in the bottom pan?

I like this air fryer, but I'm considering returning it, because it takes up way too much countertop space. And I have a lot of small kitchen appliances. But it's so easy to clean.

I just purchased this air fryer. Should is be loud with the noise? I guess it’s the fan. I can’t hear your on the video. I’m trying to see if this is normal or do I need to return it

After a year of using this brand, is your airfyer still working? My airfyer broke after a year. Am now looking for a better one with longer warranty.

My won't turn on .i use it like 3 time's after the 3rd it just stop

Dude buy some paper towels. Your beating the CONAGRA supplied burger places (WENDYS...MCDONALD'S). The holes disapate heat so you don't burn the hand.

5.8 qt how much is this in Eagles per freedom?

MMM...DO YOU CLEAN THAT PART?

Surprised you keep it on the stove. Accident waiting to happen with a burner accidentally being turned on?!

Cut your steak before you freeze it ...

Can anyone give cooking instructions for 2kg whole chicken in this air fryer. Does it need preheating? Do you press chicken button, followed by preheat?

Would love to know what you would buy with a bigger budget!

How to change to faranhite?

Sup, Brian?

get rid of the music..

Only problem and it is a big factor. I do not like the smell it give out. It smell like burnt metal.

i dont think thasts thr 5.8 QT

"It doesn't fit a full chicken". Use an oven for that. And use a god damn skillet for your steaks. "It makes good food" rofl

think trying to make 1 item fit all cooking needs is crazy

REMOVE background music, i can't watch this,

please stop cooking steak in an air fryer!

Why the mundane music crap in the background?

Fry something, then eat it, and tell us how good it is.....

What kind of meats.

Thanks for saving me $120. Sounds like there are way better ones out there.

you are so cute 😍

A hacker can remotely turn on your Cosori fryer, how nice!

Ahhhhhhhhh, ahhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhh.

I think your over working it ... it’s not a miracle worker Lol 😂

I just got mine today from Amazon and it work once and then the touchscreen stop working. This thing is complete garbage poor quality. Don’t waste your money on this one. Going back tomorrow

Wtf are you wearing. Lets talk about it

Literally every con you mentioned could be resolved by not eating meat.
