Cosori Pro LE Air Fryer L501 review

TechRadar Verdict

The Cosori Pro LE Air Fryer L501 is a sleek air fryer that cooks crisp fries and crunchy but succulent chicken wings. Simple to use, we did need to experiment with cooking times to achieve an evenly browned finish – but the L501 is compact and easy to use, making it worthy of consideration.

One-minute review

Cosori isn’t as well known in the air fryer space as big names Instant, Ninja and Philips, but it certainly isn’t any less capable. As well as offering a number of food dehydrators, kettles and bread makers, the brand also offers an array of air fryers.

Like many of the best air fryers, the Cosori Pro LE Air Fryer L501 uses hot air to crisp foods that are placed in its frying basket. According to Cosori, cooking requires 85% less oil than deep-frying foods, providing a healthier way to enjoy indulgent treats such as fries and chicken wings. 

The Cosori Pro LE Air Fryer L501 is a basket-style air fryer with a 5-quart / 4.7-liter capacity, which the company states should be sufficient for four people.

Should I buy?

The air fryer features seven presets with predefined temperature and cooking durations for different foods such as chicken, bacon, and vegetables. These can be activated by pressing the touch controls on the top of the air fryer, which also allows you to adjust the temperature and cooking time so foods are cooked to your liking. 

Also included is a pre-heat function and a keep warm feature, which will maintain the temperature of your dishes for up to 30 minutes. Both the basket and the crisper plate can be cleaned in the dishwasher.

For those looking for a healthier way to enjoy fries, chicken wings and other indulgent foods, and wanting a compact, streamlined device, the Cosori Pro LE Air Fryer L501 is well worth considering.

Cosori Pro LE Air Fryer L501 price and availability

The Cosori Pro LE Air Fryer L501 is priced at £99.99 (around $140). Currently available from Amazon in the UK, Cosori does have plans to launch the air fryer in the US, too, although it is yet to confirm an exact release date.

The brand also offers the larger-capacity Cosori CS-158AF, which can hold up to 5.8 quarts  / 5.4 liters of food and comes with Wi-Fi connectivity, and costs $119.99 / £119.99. Meanwhile, the CP-137AF is a smaller 3.7-quart / 3.5-liter air fryer costing $99.99 / £79.99.

The Cosori Pro LE Air Fryer L501 is a compact kitchen appliance, sporting a sleek matte black finish and measuring 10. 6 x 10.6 x 11.8 inches / 27 x 27 x 30cm (w x d x h). Unlike any of the air fryers we’ve tested previously, the LED and touch control panel is located on the glossy top of this kitchen gadget. It’s a basket-style air fryer, and both the basket itself and the crisper plate are dishwasher-safe, which makes for easy cleaning. 

The Cosori Pro LE Air Fryer L501 offers seven presets for cooking french fries, chicken, and frozen food, as well as steak, seafood, and vegetables, alongside a pre-heat function and a keep warm setting that maintains the temperature of food for up to 30 minutes. You can also manually adjust the temperature and cooking duration, if you’d prefer. 

The air fryer has a 5-quart / 4.7-liter capacity, which Cosori says is enough for up to four people, and the air fryer can cook for up to one hour at a time. It reaches a maximum temperature of 446ºF / 230ºC.

A recipe book with more than 30 dishes is included with the Cosori Pro LE Air Fryer L501, and the VeSync app – which is available for iOS and Android – offers hundreds more.

Performance

The Cosori Pro LE Air Fryer L501 does a sterling job of creating a crunchy exterior on everything from fries to chicken wings. 

We used the air fryer to cook homemade fries, which were crisp on the outside with soft, fluffy potato on the inside, but they weren’t evenly browned. Cosori recommends pre-heating the air fryer, although, unlike the Instant Vortex Plus 6-in-1 Air Fryer, this doesn’t happen automatically. As such, you’ll need to activate the preset first, adding food items once the preheat is complete. Even with the preheat, the suggested cooking time of 25 minutes didn’t achieve the level of browning preferred, so we cooked them for a further five minutes. 

For cooking chicken wings, the recipe book suggests using a spray oil on the skin of the meat. We gave each wing two sprays, which resulted in crisp, crunchy skin and succulent meat.  

However, we were left disappointed when using the air fryer to cook frozen steak-cut fries. Following the preheat function, we used the frozen food preset, which has a duration of 10 minutes. Unfortunately, this wasn’t long enough to ensure the fries had a crunchy exterior and were fully cooked inside. In fact, we cooked them for a further 10 minutes, shaking and checking them half way through – and even then, while some were perfectly cooked, others were soft with undercooked centers.  

On a positive note, the Cosori Pro LE Air Fryer L501 comes with a couple of handy safety features. The controls can’t be activated unless the air fryer basket is fully inserted into the air fryer. In addition, there’s a button on the basket that needs to be pressed before it can be removed from the air fryer – although we frequently forgot about this feature and struggled to remove the basket. 

Like many air fryers, the Cosori Pro LE Air Fryer L501 offers a reminder to shake feature, since rotating food during the cooking process will ensure that hot air reaches every inch of the surface of items. However, you’ll need to select this option when you’re choosing the preset, or setting the time and cooking duration you want.

During cooking, the Cosori Pro LE Air Fryer L501 registered 55.7db for noise on our decibel meter, which is equivalent to the gentle hum of a refrigerator, making it one of the quietest air fryers we’ve tested.

Should I buy the Cosori Pro LE Air Fryer L501?

Buy it if...

You want a sleek-looking device
With its glossy black control panel at the top, and sleek minimalist design, this is one of the most stylish air fryers we’ve tested. It’s ideal for those who want a good-looking but effective appliance for their home. 

You want a reminder to shake
As mentioned, shaking or turning food part way through cooking is important when air-frying. If you’re looking for an air fryer that will remind you to do this, the Cosori Pro LE Air Fryer L501 is for you.

You want a quiet appliance
If noisy appliances frustrate, then you’ll love the Cosori Pro LE Air Fryer L501 – it's one of the quietest air fryers we’ve tested, creating the same level of noise as the gentle hum of a refrigerator.

Don't buy it if...

You cook a lot of frozen food
The frozen food preset is for 10 minutes only, which on our tests wasn’t long enough to cook frozen steak fries perfectly. Cooking frozen foods with this air fryer will require experimentation, and may not yield the desired results.

You want to prepare large quantities
While the 5-quart / 4.7-liter capacity of the Cosori Pro LE Air Fryer L501 is far from small, it isn’t as large as some appliances such as the Philips Airfryer XXL HD9650/96. If you’re cooking for several people, or want to batch cook, then we’d look elsewhere. 

You’re on a budget
At £99.99, Cosori Pro LE Air Fryer L501 is certainly one of the more expensive models we’ve tested. If your budget is tighter, consider models from Tower or Princess instead.

Cuisinart TOA-60 Air Fryer Toaster Oven review

TechRadar Verdict

The Cuisinart TOA-60 Air Fryer Toaster Oven offers something a little different from the competition, with seven cooking functions including air frying. It’s more mini-oven than air fryer by design, even down to its aesthetic and analog controls – which, while quirky, might not be to everyone’s taste. You lose some of the value-adding features found in dedicated air fryers, such as shake timers and air frying presets. Nevertheless, in our tests, we achieved crispy, delicious air-fried chicken wings and golden fries, as well as some great results using the other settings, too.

One-minute review

If you’re looking for an appliance that’s full-service, versatile and space-saving, one that will deliver the crispy air-fried chips of your dreams, then look no further than the Cuisinart TOA-60 Air Fryer Toaster Oven. While Cuisinart is best known for its food processors and various other kitchen appliances, the brand has more recently been dipping its toes into the air fryer market with great success.

The Cuisinart TOA-60 Air Fryer Toaster Oven, known in the UK as the Cuisinart Air Fryer Mini Oven, is a multi-functional appliance that offers seven cooking functions; two specific modes for cooking paninis and toasties and for roasts or pizzas, as well as the standard options to keep warm, grill, toast, bake, and, of course, air fry.  

Cuisinart’s focus has been to present stylish, reliable appliances to market, built with an intention to transform your kitchen from a functional room into a more convivial space – and this air fryer mini-oven perfectly fits that aesthetic. This appliance’s chic casing and dial controls have a distinctly retro feel, yet are simple enough to fit into kitchens of any style. 

The Cuisinart TOA-60 Air Fryer Toaster Oven is certainly roomy, offering a large 17-liter capacity. It comprises two shelves, meaning you can cook evenly across different levels, too. However, its air-fry capacity is only around 3 pounds / 1.3kg – although, thanks to its width, there’s greater space to spread your food items when air frying, leading to more crisp results. In the box you’ll also find three non-stick trays – an air-frying basket, a baking tray, and an oven rack. Note that while Cuisinart states that these trays are “easy-clean”, this wasn’t our experience; nor are these trays dishwasher safe.  

On test, we were impressed by all of the cooking settings we tried – the huge caveat being that cooking times and the temperature will likely need adjusting to achieve the best results. For non-meat dishes, we needed to set the temperature to about 25°F lower (roughly 10°C) than the recipe or Cuisinart’s own information booklet recommended. 

The Cuisinart TOA-60 Air Fryer Toaster Oven may be larger than some of the best air fryers available, some of which are likely to offer Black Friday air fryer deals. However, when you consider that you can likely do away with your toaster, panini grill and even your oven, for smaller households the trade-off might prove worthwhile.

Price and availability

As mentioned above, the Cuisinart TOA-60 Air Fryer Toaster Oven is known in the UK as the Cuisinart Air Fryer Mini Oven; and at the time of writing, this appliance wasn’t available in Australia. We tested the UK version for this review, and it’s worth noting that there are slight differences between models. Our version arrived in matte black, while the US model is clad in stainless steel, plus the dial labeling is slightly different. 

It’s the only air fryer on offer from Cuisinart in the UK, and as a result you pay a premium for it; the model is a fair bit cheaper in the US. Still, for its uniqueness in the market, its design and performance, we’d say the price isn’t at all unreasonable.

Along with the oven and trays, the Cuisinart Airfryer Toaster Oven also comes with an instruction manual that includes a number of cooking tips, guidelines and best practices for your new appliance. 

You can buy the appliance directly from Cuisinart or Target , Best Buy and Walmart and directly from Cuisinart UK or Amazon UK .

Design

The Cuisinart Air Fryer Mini Oven measures 35 x 40 x 31cm (h x w x d), with its US counterpart coming in at 14 x 16 x 15. 5 inches; note that in use, it requires that you leave 100mm of clearance on each side for safety reasons. It’s one of the larger air fryers we’ve reviewed – but when you consider that it offers an additional six cooking modes that might reduce the number of small appliances you need in your kitchen, it’s a fair trade-off. The US model weighs in at 21lb, with the UK model 12kg, so it probably isn’t an appliance you’ll want to be moving between cupboards and countertops with any regularity.

While its 17-liter capacity appears impressive at first, unless you get your hands on a second air frying basket, which sits beneath the Cuisinart-supplied one (and run the risk of interfering too much with the airflow), the actual air frying capacity is a pretty average at 3lbs. However, this model is wider than the majority of appliances on the market, meaning you can achieve a better spread of food items while cooking, for more crisp results. We found there was sufficient room for about two and a half portions of fries cooked to perfection; or three, if you’re willing to sacrifice some of the crispiness.

As mentioned in our overview, the Cuisinart Air Fryer Mini Oven comes with three non-stick trays: an air frying basket, a baking tray, and an oven rack. None are dishwasher safe. While dishwasher-friendly accessories aren’t a given with such appliances, they certainly would have been welcome here; the Cuisinart’s wire air frying basket proved tough to scrub clean having cooked sticky or fatty foods such as chicken. The model does come with a removable crumb tray, however.

(Image credit: Future)

On the front of the windowed oven you’ll find four control dials for selecting the cooking time, temperature, function and level of toasting. The timer can be set from 0-60 minutes, and the temperature can be set between 250-450°F / 90-230°C. While the dials fit well with the fun, retro aesthetic of the oven, analog controls are synonymous with imprecise measurements, which can be an issue when cooking some trickier dishes. As such, you’d be well advised to keep an eye on your food while it’s cooking. Note that there aren’t any dedicated preheat settings or such guidance in the instructions with this model, although the oven does heat up tremendously quickly. Nor is there a shake or stir reminder when air frying, a feature commonly found in dedicated air fryers to ensure even crisping.

Performance

Since the Cuisinart Airfryer Toaster Oven comes with an array of functions, we were keen to test as many of them as possible. We had a go air-frying homestyle sweet potato fries, frozen thick-cut fries and chicken wings; we baked a cupcake, and used the roast and pizza setting to cook a pizza.

For our frozen thick-cut fries, we set the temperature of the mini oven to 440oF / 230oC per Cuisinart’s instructions. Since this was our first test, we decided to allow the oven to preheat for 5 minutes before putting in our fries for 12 minutes, shaking them mid-way through cooking. In letting some of the heat out to shake our fries, we probably just about saved our food from oblivion; by the end of the 12 minutes, the fries were a little too brown, and a little dry.

(Image credit: Future)

We tried again, this time following the air fryer-specific cooking instructions found on the fries’ packaging, which suggested cooking at 350oF / 180oC without any pre-heating – Cuisinart claims this model can heat up in 90 seconds. While they took a little longer to cook at 15 minutes, the results were perfectly crispy, golden fluffy fries.

With these learnings in mind, we moved on to chicken wings. We were delighted to find we could comfortably fit nine wings in the basket – impressive capacity for an air fryer. You could probably fit in more if you layered them, although we’d advise against this if you’re looking for super-crispy results. Following Cuisinart’s guidelines, the chicken wings were cooked at 390oF / 200oC for 20-25 minutes. Cuisinart doesn’t offer any information on how much oil to use, so we followed our standard measure, using ½ tbsp oil to evenly coat the wings. We turned the contents of the basket halfway through cooking, and after 25 minutes we had a plate full of delicious, crispy, moist chicken wings. Cooking in a conventional oven would have taken an hour, so this was a huge win. 

(Image credit: Future)

One slight quirk that we found while using the air fryer is that the front window can quickly become fogged up with condensation – and judging by online customer reviews, we’re not alone in seeing this. The manual does give passing mention to the fact that this can happen, but offers no suggestions on how to stop it. Having used windowed air fryers before, we know this is certainly possible; but we haven’t seen it occur as frequently as it did on the large glass pane of the Cuisinart Airfryer Toaster Oven. We also noticed a lot of steam escaping from the left-hand side of the door – which again, was observed by other customers online.

(Image credit: Future)

For our third test we made homestyle sweet potato fries, which were thinly cut, covered in cornflour and then drizzled lightly with ½ tbsp oil. We cooked these at 390oF / 200oC for 14 minutes, once again shaking at the halfway point. The results were fairly good. Some of the fries were burned a little at the ends, but overall they were fairly crispy on the outside with a wonderfully soft texture inside. We’ve found sweet potato fries particularly hard to nail without a deep fryer, since their softer texture and structure doesn’t lend itself to air frying as well, so these results don't surprise us too much.

(Image credit: Future)

To test the roast and pizza function, we bought a pre-made pizza base and topped it with mushrooms before cooking at 350oF / 180oC for a quick 10 minutes; preheating isn’t necessary. While this knocks only a few minutes off the cooking time we’d have required in a regular oven, every little helps! The pizza came out perfectly and evenly cooked, which can’t be said for the slightly soggy, irregular results of some domestic ovens.

(Image credit: Future)

Our cupcakes were cooked at 350oF / 180oC for just 18 minutes, which, compared to our domestic oven that also needed pre-heating, saved us 6 minutes. The cupcakes were perfectly cooked, although they didn’t rise quite as much as our oven-cooked batch did.

We found that for the first four or five uses, our model of the Cuisinart Air Fryer Mini Oven produced some pretty unpleasant chemical smells. However, we were pleased to find that these smells dissipated following a few uses.

For optimal performance and longevity, Cuisinart stresses in its product information booklet the importance of regularly cleaning this mini oven. We certainly noticed a lot more moisture droplets and oil than when testing other air fryers; however, this model is also far easier to clean thanks to its shape, size and frontal access.

The air fryer was wonderfully quiet during use and didn’t go louder than 54.8dB on our noise meter. There have been user reports of the US model becoming exceptionally hot during use, perhaps due to its stainless steel exterior, but the UK model didn’t suffer the same issues.

Buy it if...

You want to cut back on the number of appliances in your kitchen

If you currently find yourself overloaded with panini makers, toasters and other small appliances, the Cuisinart Airfryer Toaster Oven can help you clear some counter space. In smaller kitchens and households, it could even viably replace an oven.

You want an air fryer that allows you to spread out food

While the air frying function doesn’t make full use of that generous 17-liter capacity, the width of the Cuisinart Airfryer Toaster Oven does grant more real estate to spread out your food while cooking.  

You want an even cook every time

Compared to some air fryers we’ve tried, the Cuisinart Airfryer Toaster Oven offers a supremely consistent, even cook – even if you do have to sometimes play around with the time and temperature settings.

Don't buy it if...

You want an in-depth air frying experience

Unlike some of the best air fryers on the market, the Cuisinart Airfryer Toaster Oven doesn’t have programmable air frying settings, which are a real benefit to users of all experience levels. 

You don’t want to be scrubbing up after every meal

None of the Cuisinart’s accessories were particularly easy to clean, despite the manufacturer’s claims – especially not the air frying basket. So, prepare to put in some elbow grease after use.

You want something you can store away

Not only is the Cuisinart Airfryer Toaster Oven rather large in size, it’s fairly heavy too, so itwon’t be a kitchen appliance that you’ll be happy to move between cupboard and countertop regularly.

Best Air Fryers for Home in 2023

Air fryers have got to be the most talked about kitchen appliance right now, and for good reason. They are much more versatile than you would expect and most people use them on a daily basis. If you're looking to buy an air fryer, we've found some great options. We've tested some of the best, from simple disc-controlled appliances to combination fryers and smart fryers.

There are several good reasons to invest in an air fryer. They cook faster than an oven, provide a crispy crust without the need to add extra oil, and perhaps most importantly now that bills are skyrocketing, they use significantly less electricity than oven cooking. nine0003

The fryer is not really a fryer at all. It's basically a mini convection oven, so you can use it to cook just about anything you would in a conventional oven. But, if you buy one, it will take up some space on your kitchen counter, so you should think about what you are going to cook most often and see if you can find one with extra features that would be useful to you.

If you need more help, we have buying advice below the listing. Otherwise, read on to see our top pick. nine0003

Best air fryers for home

1. Xiaomi Mijia Smart Air Fryer

Xiaomi Mijia Smart Air Fryer

This is a traditional air fryer with a deep drawer for cooking. It is also roomy, its volume is 3. 5 liters. It's not particularly heavy, but still designed to be permanently placed on a countertop. It is controlled using a digital touch screen on the front of the device.

There are six programs to choose from: air fry, roast, grill, dehydrate, keep warm and roast. But there are no preset settings, so there are no recommendations for the time and temperature you should use when cooking. This won't be a problem for people used to deep frying, but beginners may need to do a bit of online research and be prepared to experiment first. nine0003

2. Kitfort KT-2009 Deep Fryer

Kitfort KT-2009 Deep Fryer

This compact fryer has a capacity of 2.4 liters, making it ideal for couples, singles and small families. It is simply framed, the controls are located in front. You can adjust the cooking time and temperature yourself. There is also a preheat function.

The fryer switches off at the end of cooking, so there is no chance of overcooking, but there is no keep warm function. nine0003

This is a 1000W appliance, so it is not very power hungry. This would be a good option for people new to outdoor roasting as it is solidly made and easy to use.

3. Breville Halo Rotisserie 10 liter digital air fryer

Breville Halo Rotisserie 10 liter digital air fryer

The Breville Halo Air Fryer grill oven is designed not so much as a deep fryer, but as a tabletop toaster oven. Instead of the drawer you'd expect in an air fryer, this appliance features a mesh drum for cooking foods like chips, as well as a skewer. It also has a huge, 10 liter capacity. nine0003

One reason to choose this fryer over a traditional fryer is its versatility: it can do everything a fryer can and more. The skewer is suitable for a 1.3kg whole chicken and the drum holds 750g of chips.

It has touch controls and you can choose from preset cooking programs (chips, chicken, vegetables and steak) or one of the manual options (air frying, roasting and dehydration).

Another handy feature is that it automatically turns off after cooking, so your food won't burn to a crisp if you get distracted while cooking. nine0003

4. Air Fryer SF-1009 / Air Fryer SF-1009

Air Fryer SF-1009 / Air Fryer SF-1009

It has a large volume of 4.2 liters making it a good option for families. But what makes the fryer SF-1009 different?from competitors, so is its classic-design. If you want something more distinctive than your standard kitchen appliance, its chrome-effect finish, old-fashioned dial, and curved appearance make it an attractive option.

Buying Guide

If you don't know what to look for when buying an air fryer, we have some tips.

Size

Fryers are fairly large appliances - about the size of a small bread maker. To get the most out of one, you really need to find a dedicated spot for it on your kitchen table. So the first thing to check is the external dimensions. nine0003

But in fact, the internal dimensions are more important. The cooking space inside the fryer ranges from 2 to 6 liters or 1.5 to 6+ liters. On the lower level, you can cook french fries for one or two people, two hamburgers, or two servings of chicken. At a higher level, you can accommodate a main course for four people. There are also large size deep fryers 10 liters by 10 liters. They are often divided into two drawers that you can use separately. nine0003

If you live in one and usually just cook for yourself, you can choose a smaller appliance, but in general we advise if you have space for it, choose a larger one. This will give you more cooking options and since it cooks food by circulating hot air inside, it will be faster and produce better results with more space.

Be aware, however, that larger fryers are likely to have higher capacity and are likely to cost more to run. If you want to save money on your energy bills, a simpler, smaller appliance is best. nine0003

Controls

If you are new to air fryers, choosing an appliance with presets will help you cook popular dishes perfectly the first time. As a rule, fryers with pre-sets require you to press one button (for example, for fish, hamburgers or french fries), and the device will take care of the rest.

Otherwise, you can set the time and temperature manually. This is easy to do, but it may mean that you have to experiment before you get the desired result. nine0003

Most fryers are digitally controlled, but some have manual dials or sliders for setting the time and temperature.

Smart functions

Smart functions of kitchen appliances are limited by security. Some appliance manufacturers may offer you to fill the fryer before you leave the house and schedule a meal or set it up for remote cooking through an app so you can go home and eat a hot meal. We would not recommend this. First, it is never recommended to leave food at room temperature for a long time before cooking or use kitchen utensils when you are not at home. nine0003

That being said, there are some really handy smart features that you can use. If you get stuck doing something while cooking, you can pause or stop the program through the app.

There may also be a database of recipes that you can use for inspiration. View recipes on the app, gather ingredients on your way home and start the program when you arrive: the app will guide you through the cooking steps and automatically set the time and temperature. nine0003

You can even follow the cooking progress from your phone while you relax on the couch and get a notification when your meal is ready.

Combined units

The Airfryer is just a mini convection oven. This means it cooks just like your oven when you select the fan setting. Depending on the design of the air fryer, this cooking method may be supplemented by others.
