(checked 2026-10-10)

A roomy, quiet, well-liked all-rounder that crisps nearly as well as the Ninja Pro, but the coating type and the lack of replacement parts are worth checking.

Top complaints

  • Coating and no replacement parts

    Wirecutter says Cosori disclosed a PTFE nonstick coating on the unit it tested and does not sell replacement baskets or trays. Current Amazon and Cosori listings advertise a PFAS-free ceramic coating, so check which version you are buying.

  • Preheat step and no shake reminder

    Tom's Guide lists the need to preheat and the lack of a shake reminder as its only cons.

  • Small food falls through; tray stays hot

    Shop TODAY's testers found the tray slow to cool and small items slipping through it. Serious Eats called it fine but said its Instant pick was cheaper and crisped better.

What experts say

  • Wirecutter (NYT): Runner-up and the best for baking; slightly less crispy than the Ninja Pro (especially wings), with a PTFE coating on the tested unit and no replacement parts.
  • Shop TODAY: Ranked #1 of 8 (4.71/5) for strong reviews and quiet running; cons are a slow-cooling tray and small foods falling through.
  • Tom's Guide: Fast, family-sized and easy to clean; it needs a preheat and has no shake reminder.

If that catch is a deal-breaker

Highly ranked air fryers whose biggest complaint is something else.

#2 in air fryersNinja Air Fryer Pro 4-in-1, 5 Qt

The crispiest, simplest basket fryer in Wirecutter's tests, but it is one of the loudest and runs hot, so delicate food needs watching.

Its catch: loud fan#3 in air fryersBreville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro

The expert favorite when you want one appliance that air-fries and does everything else a countertop oven does, but it is expensive, loud on super convection, and some owners report durability problems.

Its catch: very expensive#4 in air fryersInstant Vortex Plus 6-Quart ClearCook Air Fryer

Experts love its wide basket, viewing window and easy dial, but many owners report a plastic smell and units or handles failing after about a year.

Its catch: plastic or chemical smell
