The COSORI Smart Air Fryer CS130-AO is a big toaster oven/air fryer. In addition to an air fry mode, it has many different functions, including 'Sous Vide,' 'Ferment,' and 'Rotisserie,' which is meant to work with the included rotisserie spit. You can use most functions with the fan on or off. It's also compatible with an app that lets you remote-control the oven and monitor cooking. Along with rotisserie equipment, it has a baking tray, wire rack, and mesh basket for air frying.

Our Verdict

8.1
Mixed Usage 

The COSORI Smart Air Fryer is great for mixed use. This toaster oven's large cooking chamber provides ample room for casseroles, roasts, and breads. It's a fantastic option for baking since it maintains a very stable temperature during cooking. While most smaller ovens preheat faster, it's still well-suited for reheating leftovers. It toasts bread very evenly, but it's quite slow, especially compared with slot toasters. It's also decent for air frying, although it's quite slow compared with basket-style air fryers.

Pros
  • Big capacity.

  • Maintains a stable temperature.

  • Makes mostly crispy air fried food.

  • Toasts evenly.

Cons
  • Air fries slowly.

  • Toasts slowly.

7.9
Leftovers 

The COSORI Smart Air Fryer is very good for reheating leftovers. It has a big capacity, so it can fit bigger dishes like casseroles. It doesn't overshoot your selected temperature setting, which helps ensure your food gets heated evenly without drying out before it's heated through. As a big oven, it doesn't preheat quite as fast as some, making it less appealing for quickly reheating small snacks.

Pros
  • Big capacity.

  • Doesn't overshoot temperature setting.

Cons
  • Preheats slowly compared with smaller ovens.

9.0
Baking 

The COSORI Smart Air Fryer is fantastic for baking. The temperature only varies slightly during cooking, and it stays very close to your selected temperature setting. This makes it easier to follow recipes and helps when baking delicate foods. The temperature inside the chamber is also very uniform, so items in different spots in the oven bake equally.

Pros
  • Maintains a stable temperature.

  • Doesn't overshoot temperature setting.

Cons
None
7.2
Air Frying 

The COSORI Smart Air Fryer is decent for air frying. It has a fan and mesh basket for air frying and makes mostly crispy chicken wings, vegetables, and other commonly air-fried foods. However, a proportion of your food won't be crispy enough when it's done cooking. It's also pretty slow, especially compared to drawer-style air fryers.

Pros
  • Makes mostly crispy air fried food.

Cons
  • Air fries slowly.

7.4
Toasting 

The COSORI Smart Air Fryer is decent for toasting. It can fit six slices of bread and produces very evenly browned bread. It's very slow, even considering its six-slice capacity, but if you don't mind waiting or only occasionally need a high-capacity toaster, it's a solid option.

Pros
  • Fits six slices.

  • Toasts evenly.

Cons
  • Toasts slowly.

8.4
Cooking Capacity 

The COSORI Smart Air Fryer has an impressive amount of capacity. It can fit six slices of bread, the average frozen pizza, or a whole chicken. It also fits most casserole dishes and 9" x 13" sheet pans.

Pros
  • Big capacity.

Cons

    Popular Toaster Oven Comparisons

    The COSORI Smart Air Fryer CS130-AO is a versatile toaster oven/air fryer with a big capacity. It produces mostly even results when air frying, although a few models can do better, such as the Cuisinart Air Fryer TOA-70, which air fries faster. It makes impressive toast but is quite slow, with models like Ninja Flip SP151 toasting six slices quicker. However, it performs very well for most uses, and you might prefer it if you want to experiment with its different functions, like 'Rotisserie' and 'Dehydrate.'

    It has a very big capacity. It'll fit a 13-inch pizza or six slices of bread. It can also accommodate cookware like a casserole dish and a 9" x 13" baking sheet. There's enough vertical space for something like a whole chicken.

    It has good versatility with many different functions, including 'Broil,' Toast,' and 'Air Fry.' It also has more unique modes like 'Rotisserie' and 'Sous Vide.' The 'Rotisserie' function is meant for use with the included rotisserie spit for roasts like whole chickens. The Sous Vide function is actually for a cooking method called 'Air Sous Vide,' which the manual says uses circulating air to slow-cook food at a low temperature.

    This toaster oven is also compatible with an app called VeSync. This app gives you access to a collection of recipes and can send the corresponding cooking time and temperature information to the oven. You can also remote-control and monitor the oven with the app, although you can't use it to start cooking.

    Yes

    It's extremely easy to clean. As a very large toaster oven, it's easy to fit your hand into for cleaning. The chamber interior and baking tray have non-stick coatings, making it easier to wipe away grease. The elements are spaced apart, with enough room behind them to fit a sponge. You also don't have to worry about any hard-to-reach crevices or sharp corners.

    It's fantastic for toasting at maximum capacity. This toaster oven browns each slice evenly and toasts both sides equally.

    It performs a little worse with four slices in the oven versus six. It toasts the top of the bread faster than the bottom, likely because the upper element concentrates more energy in the center of the oven, while the lower elements heat more evenly. It still produces great results.

    It's decent for air frying. If you use it with its air fry basket and 'Air Fry' mode, it makes mostly crispy chicken wings or vegetables. However, some of your food won't be crispy enough by the time it's done cooking. Most good basket-style air fryers will cook your food much faster.

    It has fantastic temperature stability. The temperature inside the cooking chamber fluctuates a bit but stays close to your selected temperature setting throughout cooking and never overshoots it. The temperature is also very uniform throughout the chamber, so there aren't any major hot or cold spots.

    It toasts six slices of bread slower than most toaster ovens we've tested. It takes about the same amount of time with only four slices at once, so it toasts bread very slowly. The Hamilton Beach Air Fryer 31350 and Hamilton Beach Sure-Crisp 31196FG both toast a little less evenly but much more quickly.
