I have the Consori air fryer and love it. It does practically everything and is not difficult to clean. I did my research before buying it and this one got one of the highest ratings.

I'm late to the party as I see you've already ordered a Cosori air fryer.  My recommendation would have been the multi-use type of countertop convection oven that air fries, bakes, toasts, roasts, broils, etc.  I have a 5 year old Emeril Lagasse 360XL and I use it nearly every day.  I love it.  If only for reheating pizza, it would be worth the price!  Pizza reheated in this oven is better than fresh at the pizza parlor.

I air fry veggies, bacon, chicken, hamburgers, pork chops, salmon, wings.  It's also good if you buy prepared foods that might require pan frying or deep frying - you can get them crispy without the oil and calories.

@monicakm, I have the Cosori 5.8 air fryer and I love it.  My original one was recalled and they replaced it.  The one that was recalled is no longer on the market.  I've got three air fryers and this is the one I use the most because the tray is square therefore more chicken parts or whatever will fit in it.  Unfortunately, none of them are easy too clean.  The best thing I cook in it is bacon.  ETA:  I have two Ninja air fryers....one is a large combination one and complicated to use and the other one has a round basket, making it difficult to fit some foods in and less pieces of food.

I have the ninja power xl, i like it.

Update...

I canceled the order for the Cosori 5.8 air fryer and bought the Pro III 6.8 Dual Blaze Cosori Air Fryer.  It has a top and bottom heating element that eliminates the need for shaking and turning your food over. Wi-Fi enabled. Haven't used it yet but I'm excited to start my air fryer journey ☺️

The recall was months ago. They replaced one I had for over a year.

Good morning ladies,

I was wondering if there's any reason I should not put tin foil on the bottom of my Cosori air fryer.   Mine is the one that has a heating element in the bottom as well as the top. I know everything is non-stick and washable but this would just be an added protection.

Thank you @VanSleepy 

My husband is a griller/smoker of meats.  I'm guessing a grilled ribeye and one done in the air fryer are not going to taste the same.  Of course steak isn't the only thing to consider.

If you or spouse like grilled steaks, imo, you all would probably not care for steak cooked in airfryer.

I use my airfryer quite often, but have not figured out how to cook fresh beef or pork with success in airfryer. Now boneless chicken breast I have had great success cooking in airfryer.

I purchased a mini-air fryer from Amazon a month or so back. It crisps up frozen foods such as french fries much better than my other appliances. 

Very happy with it--and it was well under $50 on Black Friday. Most of the time, I just cook for myself, so it is quite small.  A family would want a bigger air-fryer.

Yeah there are plenty of other things to cook in an air fryer.
