Cosori Iconic review: 6.5‑qt stainless-steel air fryer with smart features
Mar 20th 2026
Cosori’s Iconic pairs a refined stainless‑steel look with reliable cooking, smart app support and a five‑year warranty, but it costs $249, needs space on the counter and shows smudges easily.
- 6.5‑quart capacity with a roughly 15 by 12 inch footprint and a polished stainless‑steel exterior that shows fingerprints.
- Priced at $249, it sits in the premium range while many competent air fryers cost $100 to $200.
- Temperature range 90 to 450°F with modes for air fry, roast, bake, dehydrate, proof and reheat.
- Wi‑Fi and the VeSync app let you send presets and access recipes but you cannot start a cooking cycle from your phone.
- Basket and crisper plate are dishwasher safe but not fridge safe, and grease can build up if you skip cleaning between batches.
- Solid cooking performance on fries, drumsticks, potatoes and pizza, a five‑year warranty, and an overall test score of 8.6/10
