Cosori Small Air Fryer 2.1-Quart

Cosori packs premium features — a sleek digital panel, square nonstick basket, and four cooking modes — into a 2-quart unit that costs just $50. Wings came out juicy and crispy on the bottom without flipping in Good Housekeeping's tests.

$45-$65
Pros
  • Evenly cooked fries, wings, and mozzarella sticks in lab testing without flipping
  • Sleek digital panel with hidden buttons for a clean look
  • Square basket maximizes usable cooking space vs. round baskets
  • Air fry, roast, bake, and reheat modes at a budget price
Cons
  • Nonstick basket can scratch over time — avoid metal utensils
  • 2.1-quart capacity is tight for anything beyond a single serving
  • No dehydrate function unlike some competitors
Why we recommend it

Cosori consistently punches above its price point, and this mini version is no exception. The hidden button panel when off is a small touch that makes it feel way more expensive than it is.

What the community says

I highly recommend Cosori. I don't know what their smallest size is, but it has a rectangular rather than circular footprint, which I find easier to work with/around.

What the experts said

Our fries, wings, and mozzarella sticks came out evenly cooked and crisp. The wings, in particular, were very juicy and even crisp on the bottom without needing to be flipped.
