An air fryer is one of those kitchen gadgets that actually earns its counter space. Our pick is the COSORI Pro Gen 2 — my wife swears it’s indestructible, and after years of near-daily use, it’s hard to argue. Here are five options on Amazon, from a budget starter to a full dual-zone oven.
COSORI Pro Gen 2 Air Fryer, 5.8QT
Our pick, and a genuine household favorite — this is the one that’s been running non-stop for years without a single hiccup. Stable performance, a sleek look, and honestly kind of indestructible. $72.99.
Simple Deluxe 12-in-1 Air Fryer, 6.34 Qt
A budget-friendly option with a digital preset panel and a visible window so you can check on food without opening it. $46.38.
Cosori TurboBlaze 9-in-1 Air Fryer, 6 Qt
Cosori’s newer flagship, with a PFAS-free ceramic coating and five browning levels for extra-crisp results. $89.99.
