Pro II Air Fryer (5.8 qt basket) review 2026
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
- 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
- A minute behind the Ninja on crisping and marginally less even
- Control panel markings wear with cleaning
- Preset buttons are more decorative than useful
