“I absolutely love this air fryer! I’ve owned it for three weeks now and have used it every single day! I haven’t even used my oven once since I received it! It is super easy to use and clean, and is very quiet..I have cooked everything from whole roasts to crispy chick peas and everything has turned out amazing,” one Amazon shopper wrote. “With their free two year extended warranty that you register for, I don't have to worry about over using it and the Cosori Facebook group is filled with people just dying to share recipes. Absolutely the best and most used appliance in my house.”

Although most reviews are positive, some customers have noted that it can be tough to separate the baskets to clean.

“I love the meals I cooked in this,” another wrote. “Cooked pork chops, porcupine balls and chicken and they all came out moist and nicely browned. It was super easy to clean and no messy stove. However, there are a few issue with the machine that could be improved upon. You need to really fight with getting the basket out of the machine. For some reason it seems to lock up. Secondly, to separate the inside basket from the liner is also difficult. After pushing the lock forward I find tilting the basket towards you and then pulling up releases it but its not without a hassle...”

The verdict

For convenient, quick and healthy home meals, Consori’s raved-about air fryer will cut your time and calories in the kitchen. If you’re looking for a family-sized unit with enough versatility to cater to every kind of foodie, the Consori Air Fryer 11-in-1 might just be for you.
