Nearly the Ninja's results at three quarters of the price, noticeably quieter, with a square basket that wastes less space

Is the Pro II Air Fryer Worth It?

Best value air fryer. The COSORI holds more, runs quieter and costs $30 less than our winner, giving up only a little browning. For most kitchens it is the sensible buy.

Pro II Air Fryer Pros & Cons

Pros
  • 505 g in one layer, the most of any single-basket machine here
  • 53 dB, five quieter than the Ninja
  • $99, and frequently discounted below that
  • Square basket uses the footprint better than a round one
Cons
  • A minute behind the Ninja on crisping and marginally less even
  • Control panel markings wear with cleaning
  • Preset buttons are more decorative than useful
