Cosori Iconic Stainless Steel Air Fryer

A 6.5-quart air fryer wrapped in polished stainless steel with a stainless interior — the most coating-free exterior of any basket fryer tested. Looks like a vintage toaster, performs like a modern appliance.

$249
Pros
  • Polished stainless-steel exterior and interior — no plastic shell
  • Interior surfaces are stainless steel; basket and crisper plate are dishwasher-safe
  • Wide 90°F–450°F temperature range covers dehydrating through max crisp
  • Wi-Fi connected with VeSync app for barcode scanning and recipe lookup
  • 6.5-quart capacity suits families of 4+
Cons
  • Expensive at $249
  • Stainless steel shows fingerprints and smudges constantly
  • Basket still has a nonstick coating on the interior surface
  • Large 15x12-inch footprint requires significant counter space
Why we recommend it

For people who hate the look of plastic air fryers as much as the nonstick coatings, the Cosori Iconic is the answer. The stainless interior wipes clean without the fragility of traditional nonstick.

What the community says

I know Breville seems to be the most popular in the toaster oven category, but Cuisinart and Wonder Oven also have ones that don't use non-stick coatings.
