i love this airfryer . it doesn’t look big and chunky, easy to clean and it cooks perfectly

Works Excellent for all different foods - Easy to read display and easy clean up!

You have two choices for how you use the device. If you wish you can connect it via the Vsync App (which is not required). Setup for the app is extremely easy as you can scan a QR code on the top of the device which takes you directly to the app, sign up for it, then it walks you through the rest of the process. The app is limited in how much you can control the unit itself but is helpful when looking up additional recipes or tracking cooking time (which sends you alerts on progress and flipping). Or you can just skip that completely (which is what I did) and use it via the buttons on the unit itself. It has several presets which makes it easy to select what you want. Or if you want full control you can do a custom temperature and cook time. The preheat option (which at sea level) took about 2 – 3 minutes to get to about 380 - 400 degrees. Which was quick. Last, there is a keep warm option (preset is at 120 degrees). I found that the 12 presets were a nice guideline that streamlined the process, as I often didn’t have to look at the recipe booklet for the correct temp and cook time and instead could just press a single button (after preheating) and I was good to go. I did find that depending on what I was cooking and if it was frozen or not that the amount of time it took to cook would vary quite a bit (from the preset), often being generous on the time as things cook FAST. I just made sure to check it a few times throughout the cooking process to ensure it wasn’t overcooked. I found each time I used it that the food came out with the correct consistency, flavor, moistness, and “crunch”. I especially enjoyed it for reheating certain food such as fries. Which it does quickly, and they come out often better than at a restaurant. The basket itself is large making it easy to cook plenty of food in one go. Overall build quality is good. I think it is a very sleek looking device that fits in a modern kitchen with the sleek black brushed look. It is very conscious about the space it takes up being just slightly larger than the cooking pan itself width wise. It does get slightly warm to the touch on the sides when using. Cooling off time is average as there isn’t anything special that helps it cool down faster or notify you that it is still warm (except for you feeling the heat). Buttons themselves feel good and are responsive. Display is clear and easy to read. However, power button stays lit when device is off, when the pan is removed it has multiple lights that stay on, and the blinking Wi-Fi network indication can be annoying. The beeps are loud which makes it easy to hear but can also be annoying. My only real compliant is the pull to release for the basket feels cheap and isn’t as premium as I like. Especially, since the unit itself is very light so you need to hold it in place when removing. The handle has a piece of plastic on the top that is free floating for safety which also comes across cheap. But release from the top basket and the bottom basket feels great, as does reattaching it. Clean-up is simple and quick.

The Cosori Pro Gen 2 538 Quart air fryer comes well packaged with everything you need. You even get some extra accessories other air fryers do not provide. You get the air fryer, a recipe book, a quick reference guide, some metal skewers, a metal rack and a user manual. What I really liked: - The metal basket separates into 2 pieces. There is a button to press when separating the basket into 2 pieces. This keeps any oil/grease separate from what you are cooking. Look at the picture of me cooking chicken shawarma. It was AMAZING BTW. - There is a piece you need to slide forward to remove the basket from the air fryer. This is an added safety feature. It would be especially useful if children are around. It would be more difficult for them to deal with the basket. - The basket has vents in the side that promotes good airflow. - 5.8 quarts is a good size to accommodate most meals for 2-4 people. - You have 10 cooking presets buttons you can use. One of these is a preheat button. It is very useful to preheat the air fryer before cooking your food. Also, there is a keep warm function. - The buttons light blue when they are selected. I like the visual cue of what you have selected. The nonstick baskets are dishwasher safe. - The baskets are PFOA-free and BPA-free. So it is safer for your food. What I was not too excited about: - You have an app “Vesync”. The set up and connection to Wi-Fi was not a problem. You can see the status of your air fryer. However you need to keep the air fryer plugged in for this to work. I usually unplug the air fryer after each use. It does have a bunch of recipes in the app that may be useful to you. So it is not really for me. This could be a bonus for you. There are some interesting recipes. - I tried using the metal raised grill for cooking a hash brown patty. I thought this may make more airflow and make it crispier. Surprisingly, it ended up less cooked than just placing it in the basket. I have used the Cosori air fryer for about a week now. It has functioned perfectly. The food cooking results are better than many other units I have used in the past. Overall, I do rate the Cosori Pro Gen 2 538 quart air fryer 5 out of 5 stars. It is built well. It cooks the food well. You have an added bonus of an App if that is important to you. You also get some extra accessories which could be useful to you. MY negative comments are minor. I recommend this product.
