I totally love my Cosori! I love the way you can remove the basket for easy cleaning and to me it cooks a lot better than any other Airfryers. Also it was awesome that Cosori when they had that recall they were awesome about taking care of the consumers. Thanks again for your awesome reviews and awesome recipes! ❤
I just bought the Beautiful air fryer - my first air fryer. I was so thankful you didn’t trash it as that would have been a bummer. So far I like it - just trying out different things to see how an air fryer works really. I did zero research before buying it too which is highly unusual for me 😜 Fingers crossed I don’t end up with one of the failing ones!
I have the Beautiful and I love it! It’s changed the way I cook in my old age. 😊 as long as it lasts until I die I’m happy. If not I will buy another one. It’s simple to use and easy to clean. I don’t really think you can compare a $69 (in my case) air fryer to a $129.00 air fryer. Of course the more expensive one will have more bells and whistles. As long as the cooking is comparable then I’m fine. And you proved that to me. ☺️
Good point! I had a viewer email me to let me know she ruined her Beautiful air fryer by leaving the drawer open after cooking adn all the heat/steam slowly warping the front panel. So there is a tip to help it last longer!
This was really informative. I’ll admit I was very swayed by the aesthetic of the Beautiful air fryer but I’d prefer to give up some style points for better quality
I shouldn’t pre-judge but I’ve never understood the allure of celebrity branded items. Being a cute movie star (who I like very much) doesn’t make her an appliance expert.
Just got the Beautiful. 6 qt. I love the design better than the Cosori. The Beautiful is pretty quiet. I had no smoke or steam coming out, not even the first use. Love it so much! Thanks for the review!
Yes I wish I looked here before I bought mine about a month ago. I was considering the Drew one for a starter (and for esthetics if all fails) but bought a Crux and love it though. Now looking for techniques and more recipes.
I just received my Cosori replacement. It is so much quieter than my other one. In fact I didn't think it was running. I love my Cosori and can't imagine using anything else. That chicken looks delicious. Will definitely be trying that.
Cosori is an awesome machine, I own a Breville air pro oven, an Instantpot air pro which is great but a pain to clean. The Cosori has all the right presets, looks great, is quiet, and so much easier t clean!
I'm a truck driver and was searching for a small air fryer due to limited space in my truck and since I'm only cooking for 1, lol. I didn't know this brand came in 3qt size until I ran across it on clearance. The Thyme green $22 while the White was $39. I already have the white half sized infrared toaster oven. I opted for the green air fryer because of the weird price difference.
@jennifers2017 I just found the green one on clearance for $22. I'm a truck driver, so I'm in these stores across the country all week looking for these deals lol. White was $39, green was $22. Walmart is so weird like that. Even the employees were stunned at the price difference
I have the large Beautiful air fryer and it’s been in the kitchen cooking for a year with no problems! It has a reminder feature, and I like the look of it much more than the cosori
I have the beautiful 6qt as well it works great only thing it the start button doesn’t display anymore have had it for 2 years but works great. As long as I tap around where the start button was it starts for me
Great comparison video and I do believe you very fairly compared the two, with Cosori the obvious (to me) winner. If I ever have to get another air fryer, I am going to get a Cosori because it always does a great job in your videos.
Great review! I'm going to keep my Ninja air fryer, but if it ever dies, I might actually give the Beautiful air fryer a try...it has a great price point!
When cooking bacon I like to put a couple pieces of bread or rolls under the tray to soak up the grease. You can use the bread for croutons or crumble it as a topping for whatever.
Oooohhhh I’m gonna try mine today! I received two of the Beautiful air fryers from my family and friends after a bridal shower and I can already tell I’m gonna enjoy it!!!
I NEVER cooked. Do now. I just got the 3-qt Beautiful last week online, costs $29.00 right now. Absolutely love it, EXCEPT: For some reason, sometimes it'll heat, sometimes it won't. Or rather, it will get warm, but definitely not to whatever temperature I set. I've tried several different times, so just hoping I got a lemon. I really hope the next one works well. And the cleanup is absolute heaven. Ordered another and I'm going to return this one and cross my fingers. If it doesn't work out, I'm still now very much into an air fryer, so I'm guessing the Cosori would be a good replacement. Then I'll get your cookbook!
I just bought the TriZone one by Drew Barrymore and I really like it. Only reason I bought it was that it was pretty and it was on sale for a super good price. Not because I like Drew Barrymore because I don't. It's super quiet and cooks well. The only thing is I wish it had a preheat button but that's not a real problem. It also cleans up very well unlike my other one. My other air fryer was a Insky and it dripped oil and was extremely noisy.
Great comparison. I have the Beautiful and love it because it's simple. I like to reheat items in the air fryer instead of the microwave. Yummy chicken, I will try that this week.
Ty for taking the time and expense for this review. I love my Cosori. We just received the new one (replacement) from Cosori 2 weeks ago. I will stick with Cosori. ❤ Thanks again!!!
Hi Cathy, Love when you do your comparisons. The only thing I liked about the pretty one was the inside plate with the small holes, no food falls through. I have the Duel Blaze and love it. My only issues are 1. I wish it had a removable basket like the Pro 2. 2. The temp went up to 450. 3. The holes in the middle of the basket plate were smaller. 4. It had a viewing window. One more thing that it came in pretty colors. Aside from that I wouldn’t trade it for the world . I had the Pro 2 but gave it away when I purchased the Duel Blaze due to space. Hope your all doing well. Keep up the great work.
Hi Cathy!!! I liked your comparison show today. There's alot of AF out there but I'm not getting a new one until mine goes out. Then I have to decide what to get. Nice Video!!!...🦋
Me too Diane. I have the Ninja Max. I’ve had it for over 2 yrs now and I have no complaints. I bought Kathy’s cookbook. It makes all of her recipes just fine. 😂 I won’t replace it until I have to.
Great presentation! Have you used air fryer liners? Im trying not much success Say thd juices stay in the liner from a frozen steak meat becomes soggy so i discarded the liner and cooked till done. Also fries were soggy using a liner previously.
Yea.. no offense to Drew B but I’m not a fan of that air fryer. I don’t like that it doesn’t constantly show the remaining time and the Shake reminder with the Cosori is a major plus. The display on the pretty one is also hard to see. Team Cosori all the way.
Hi Cathy, Thank you for giving us this side by side comparison. It is like taking a test drive, and you are our driver 😅. I love it that you can cook a whole Chicken in an air fryer, if I didn’t already own an air fryer this would seal the deal for me. Costco has lowered the cost of there Gourmia again to $39.00, it was at $59 this making getting your first air fryer really affordable. Happy cooking everyone!
Hi Debbie. I just wanted to jump in and say that whole chickens in the air fryer taste better than the store roasted ones and they are so fast. It's my all-time favorite use of my air fryer.
@@lyricessence Thank you for that tip, I will definitely be picking up one the next time I go shopping. It is kinda hard to beat the price at Costco for 4.99 😀
@@empoweredcooksI'm keeping an eye on Labor day sales at Walmart or Amazon. Then gonna check for BLACK FRIDAY. My mom said she will probably get me one for my birthday/Christmas (both in Dec 🎉).
Got my 3 qt Beautiful at Wal Mart. Originally 69.99 but it rang up at 29.99 when I questioned why, I was told " we are getting rready to have inventory and want to clear out as much merchandise as possible. I don't care if the beautiful is not the best on the market. For what I paid I'm happy.
Hi Cathy, I think the Beautiful one looked nice and I like the white ones. My last one used to change the time and temp like the Beautiful one does. I bought a puremate air fryer ten months ago purely because I wanted a white one, I've been quite happy with it, it helped me learn how to use it. I've been watching different you tube channels and saw the cosori dual blaze. I liked how it had an element top and bottom and also there was no basket just a crisper plate which makes it even easier to clean. Anyway i bought one and it came last Thursday. It's really good, I wish I'd gotten it sooner.
I bought the black version from Amazon I think after my cheap blue one died on me and I love it! I use it for sourdough toast in the am' reheatin leftovers for lunch and can bake sweet potatoes or tofu for dinner! Great for a single gal and dont feel I need a more expensive cosori.
This is what I have, (3 qrt). Just recently. Paid almost $50, my 2nd air fryer because my first had to be left behind when I moved. The "beautiful" air fryer you had the option of buying a warranty, I think it was an additional 2 yrs. I opted against it.
I’ve had 3 air fryers. The first two had the baskets. The reason I had to get new ones after using both of these was because both would have a problem with the basket. With both the outer basket would fall off when I was removing the basket. One time a very hot basket fell on my foot. I love the ones with the tray instead of baskets.
I would say the difference in fan noise and cooking characteristics especially on the fries is due to air flow. I would say the Beautiful does not move air quite as well as the Cosori. That is why the Beautiful fries looked browner/starting to burn, on the outsides of the pan. Whereas, the Cosori fries looked more uniform over the entire pan. This would also explain the additional fan noise on the Cosori. The Cosori uses a fan that operates at a higher speed or the fan blades themselves have more pitch, either of which would create more noise while creating a more uniform temperature in the cook chamber. The Beautiful uses a slower or less noisy set of fan blades, which would also create less overall air movement and thus, less uniform heating inside the cook chamber, especially the center. Its simply a matter of tradeoffs in convenience vs noise vs efficiency vs profit margin related to build components. I just purchased a Cosori like the one in this video. So far, I am loving it. I found that WalMart sells it for just under $90 in and around Prime Day. I looked at many different air fryers, and from a build point (I have worked in manufacturing for many years. So, I would consider myself somewhat of an expert on how things are designed and assembled). The Cosori seems to check the most boxes in what makes a good device. It's not perfect though. But it has fewer bad points than most of the others and it has the largest base of satisfied customers. I would have purchased the Dual Blaze if it had been available, but I have no regrets in the Pro 2.
Hi Cathy, thanks for doing the comparison. I have a Cosori pro 2 air fryer. After watching your video, I like the Cosori better. The interface looks easier to read. I too like being able to lift out the basket with the Cosori. I also like the shake reminder on the Cosori. So, for now, I will be sticking with the one I like.
Thank you for the video! I have never even heard of the Beautiful air fryer! It IS very pretty, but I love my Cosori. I don’t keep my small appliances out on the counter anyway. It took 2 months to get my replacement Cosori but I don’t think I will ever switch brands. 😊
I love my Cosori!! Btw I needed to to do the recall and it was a breeze and the new one came in 1 week. Ty for letting us know about the recall. Have a blessed week!!
I have this Beautiful air fryer in green. I’ve never had one before and have been looking at tons of videos. I don’t think there are any accessories for it but I bet the Casori accessories would fit.
I have a Power XL that I have had for 4 or 5 years and I love it still. It also has the basket that comes out easily to clean. Always glad to see actual users reviews on these appliances. Thanks, I will stick with the Power XL.❤❤
I had one of the first power xl cooker oven, and I had everything with it. I never could get the ham to rotate when I use that part. Seem that my ham would burn. It's was hard to clean, and the grease was baked on, which I didn't like. My ex-boyfriend ended up giving it to a coworker. Wish I still had it, and I wish I had my nuwave conversation oven, which was one of the first. Had to get a replacement power head. Gave it's a way because of die I'm on ( soft diet). I love it nuwave conversation oven.
I have the black one and so far it's been great. Just have to remember to shake halfway on things, but other than that, no faults. French fries, bacon, and cinnamon rolls, and grilled cheese turn out great all the time.
I was looking at Air fryer about a month ago. I went with a different brand because I saw the Beautiful brands of product hit the shelfs. Then two week later they was in the clearance Isle. Now I am seeing the Beautiful brand at Goodwill. That does make me think twice about the brand.
My personal opinion on the noise of the buttons is they are loud for people who may be hard of hearing or have a noisy kitchen. I also believe you get what you pay for. That's why the Cosori cost more because it has more features
While waiting for our Cosori (it took 8 weeks) we were very tempted to get one of these while roaming the aisles at WalMart. I decided to wait for my new Cosori. No regrets 😊
ya'll are so funny! I love it! I have hear of some getting their replacement in a week (mine took 3 weeks and I registered on day one). Others have been a month, but they were waiting for one of the colors (red or white). Hope ya'll get it soon!!!
Hi, Cathy. On one of your videos, you commented you didn't like how difficult the Cosori Dual Blaze was to clean. I have one and have to say it is the easiest thing in my kitchen to clean. A simple rinse under the tap, a sqirt of dish liquid, a swipe on either side with the dish cloth, rinse and set to air dry. Definitely less than 1 minute to clean. I think that the problem may be the pre- spraying the pan with oil and then spraying the food with more oil. I rarely use ANY oil. I think what is happening is the same thing as when you pre-spray a cookie sheet when baking in a regular oven: that extra spray bakes onto the sheet making it difficult to clean. Just a thought. I find I don't need that extra oil at all.
Hi Mary! I only think the tray of the Dual Blaze is a little more challenging to clean. However I don't often use the tray, so it's not much of an issue for me! :)
Love your videos. When I cook a whole chicken in my Emerald Air Fryer, I loosen the skin, on the breast, thighs and back. I mix a little olive oil with my seasons and spoon some under the skin. Also, after I loosen the skin, I place the chicken in the sink and pour boiling water over it. This renders the fat out of the skin, which allows the skin to crisp. It will make the skin very tender, so be very careful spooning in the oil and spices, or the skin will tear.
I have Drew's smaller air fryer and also the one you reviewed. I also had a Cosori, which failed us within 15 months, control panel malfunctioning. The Beautiful by Drew Barrymore airfryers are excellent products and a great value, made very very well. Of course, you're so stuck in Cosori, you actually nitpick to find faults of any air fryer you review. Other than that, your videos are good, but quit bragging about Cosori, they're not that good.
When you took the chickens out, I saw that the "Beautiful" one definitively kicked the Cosori's butt. Not enough headroom. Just sayin'. Of course, my Phillips would have done the same...but I will not judge the Cosori too much- It is a bit less expensive than mine.
Hi! Love❤your content and enthusiasm. What can you tell me, if anything, about The Power XL 5qt Vortex Classic? I’m returning my third this year. I love it but it stops working.
I’m only a couple minutes in the video and love it already! Your voice is great alluring… it’s saying please buy!! I actually got mine for free in a bulk dumpster….
I love Drew, but probably wouldn't love her air fryer From what I've seen, I still would keep my Cosori. I love it. Mine was a model from the recalled list. I had a White one & still waiting for it. They asked if I would go Black, as it would be quicker to get, but I'm sticking with White & will wait. All My appliances are White. C'est la vie! Thank you for this informative comparison.
been trying to make up my mind on what Air Fryer to buy and it is driving me beyond crazy , do i buy lowest cost or highest and every time i make up my mind i see yet another one that confuses me and then i see this Drew model and it sent my head into a tail spin and now i am more confused than ever , the Beautiful is styling right out of the head of Steve Jobs , now i am beyond torn and i am going to go against my better judgment and go all shallow and go for the beauty and buy Beautiful ugggggg lucky the color i want in the 6 quart is on sale for 48 dollars , but the Pro11 is now 89 dollars , but i am going to buy the Beautiful
Idk.. if there’s no shake timer, I wouldn’t shake in review. Doesn’t make sense to add the function to the cooking process when it doesn’t tell you to.
I totally love my Cosori! I love the way you can remove the basket for easy cleaning and to me it cooks a lot better than any other Airfryers. Also it was awesome that Cosori when they had that recall they were awesome about taking care of the consumers.

I didn't know Drew had an air fryer. 😄 I do love her. Thanks for the video. ☺
You're welcome!
I also have the microwave and spoon rest to match
I couldn't use one with that base plate design. I've always had the basket style. Looks ok for the price but more style over substance.
What size is your beautiful air fryer? 3qt?
This was a 6 quart.
The beautiful chicken looked better cooked
Yes... I have no idea when the skin moved on the Cosori one! I haven't had that issue before. Ha ha!
After her kneeling before Dylan - fraud - Mulvaney, I was done.
I shouldn’t pre-judge but I’ve never understood the allure of celebrity branded items. Being a cute movie star (who I like very much) doesn’t make her an appliance expert.
Yes, celebrity endorsed products/companies are becoming all the rage!
I don't get it either.
The brand comes to you ( you Gotta be a celebrity) asks you if he can use your name on his brand you say yes and you get paid so simple🙃🙃🙃
@@empoweredcooks
Not ones who get on their knees for a man only because he was in a dress lol she’s so pathetic
If a celebrity endorsed a product I generally don't buy it.
I have had this air fryer for about 3 months. It works well. It cleans up so easily. I’ve even cooked a whole chicken a couple of times. It’s great!
Glad it's working great for you!

Good point!

With both the outer basket would fall off when I was removing the basket. One time a very hot basket fell on my foot. I love the ones with the tray instead of baskets.
I love cooking whole chicken in my air fryer
Woo hoo - YESS!
I would say the difference in fan noise and cooking characteristics especially on the fries is due to air flow. I would say the Beautiful does not move air quite as well as the Cosori. That is why the Beautiful fries looked browner/starting to burn, on the outsides of the pan. Whereas, the Cosori fries looked more uniform over the entire pan. This would also explain the additional fan noise on the Cosori. The Cosori uses a fan that operates at a higher speed or the fan blades themselves have more pitch, either of which would create more noise while creating a more uniform temperature in the cook chamber. The Beautiful uses a slower or less noisy set of fan blades, which would also create less overall air movement and thus, less uniform heating inside the cook chamber, especially the center. Its simply a matter of tradeoffs in convenience vs noise vs efficiency vs profit margin related to build components. I just purchased a Cosori like the one in this video. So far, I am loving it. I found that WalMart sells it for just under $90 in and around Prime Day. I looked at many different air fryers, and from a build point (I have worked in manufacturing for many years. So, I would consider myself somewhat of an expert on how things are designed and assembled). The Cosori seems to check the most boxes in what makes a good device. It's not perfect though. But it has fewer bad points than most of the others and it has the largest base of satisfied customers. I would have purchased the Dual Blaze if it had been available, but I have no regrets in the Pro 2.
I was born the same day as Channing Tatum. “Wooo, I’m boutta make-a-name for myself!
Hi Cathy, thanks for doing the comparison. I have a Cosori pro 2 air fryer. After watching your video, I like the Cosori better. The interface looks easier to read. I too like being able to lift out the basket with the Cosori. I also like the shake reminder on the Cosori. So, for now, I will be sticking with the one I like.
Good for you! The Dre Barrymore is very pretty but I want one that works and won’t die in a few months. My friend has a a Cosori and loves it.
Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you for the video! I have never even heard of the Beautiful air fryer! It IS very pretty, but I love my Cosori. I don’t keep my small appliances out on the counter anyway. It took 2 months to get my replacement Cosori but I don’t think I will ever switch brands. 😊
:) Glad you finally got it!!
I also had an affinity for Drew Barrymore but it wasn't because we had the same birthday.
I love my Cosori!! Btw I needed to to do the recall and it was a breeze and the new one came in 1 week. Ty for letting us know about the recall. Have a blessed week!!
Oh glad to hear you got it so quickly!
I have this Beautiful air fryer in green. I’ve never had one before and have been looking at tons of videos. I don’t think there are any accessories for it but I bet the Casori accessories would fit.
may I ask please= do you get any juices when you do the whole chicken in there? I like to make gravy so need drippings
I have a Power XL that I have had for 4 or 5 years and I love it still. It also has the basket that comes out easily to clean. Always glad to see actual users reviews on these appliances. Thanks, I will stick with the Power XL.❤❤
I had one of the first power xl cooker oven, and I had everything with it. I never could get the ham to rotate when I use that part. Seem that my ham would burn. It's was hard to clean, and the grease was baked on, which I didn't like. My ex-boyfriend ended up giving it to a coworker. Wish I still had it, and I wish I had my nuwave conversation oven, which was one of the first. Had to get a replacement power head. Gave it's a way because of die I'm on ( soft diet). I love it nuwave conversation oven.
I bought it. Not because of her but I liked the look. But I'm trying to figure out why power pause button fades in and out when not in use
I have the black one and so far it's been great. Just have to remember to shake halfway on things, but other than that, no faults. French fries, bacon, and cinnamon rolls, and grilled cheese turn out great all the time.
Should include that pricing is USD. Add $100 for Canada.
Thank you :)
I made the same exact French fries in my mini deep fryer...8 minutes vs 15 minutes. 😂
I was looking at Air fryer about a month ago. I went with a different brand because I saw the Beautiful brands of product hit the shelfs. Then two week later they was in the clearance Isle. Now I am seeing the Beautiful brand at Goodwill. That does make me think twice about the brand.
I think you're right. That says a lot.
Oof! That's good insight to notice!
take a shot everytime you hear beautiful..........l'll see you all in the afterlife.
Good heavens. This camera is all over the place! Not necessary.Just stop!
The Beautiful air fryer is the one I have and I like to cook burgers and ham in it. 😊
Glad to hear it's working great for you!
Would you recommend it?
@@CarringtonJoy I haven’t had any problems with it. It’s affordable so yeah I’d recommend it.
I just tell my friends to BUY AN AIR FRYER.. Our kids are grown & gone, so having an AF saves tons of effort and still get great meals.
Ha ha! I love it!
I have a a Gourmia from Costco and it's so quite that I have to check even if I'm in the same room (tiny kitchen)as it when its running.
Ha ha!
I agree the Consori wins every single time and I LOVE the removable basket! Thanks for the review and saving me money...LOL Now I need a chicken!!!!
Yay!!
My personal opinion on the noise of the buttons is they are loud for people who may be hard of hearing or have a noisy kitchen. I also believe you get what you pay for. That's why the Cosori cost more because it has more features
Good point on both accounts!
While waiting for our Cosori (it took 8 weeks) we were very tempted to get one of these while roaming the aisles at WalMart. I decided to wait for my new Cosori. No regrets 😊
I've been waiting for mine since February...I'm dying of starvation
@@jeffreyes6938 it was the longest 2 months ever..... had to learn how to use an oven again 😆
Had to wait 2 1/2 months. Was really hard because their website had issues but after several calls. I'm glad I waited.
ya'll are so funny! I love it! I have hear of some getting their replacement in a week (mine took 3 weeks and I registered on day one). Others have been a month, but they were waiting for one of the colors (red or white). Hope ya'll get it soon!!!
@@empoweredcooks that's bc they know you are VIP. Common folks like us took them months! 😆
Hi, Cathy. On one of your videos, you commented you didn't like how difficult the Cosori Dual Blaze was to clean. I have one and have to say it is the easiest thing in my kitchen to clean. A simple rinse under the tap, a sqirt of dish liquid, a swipe on either side with the dish cloth, rinse and set to air dry. Definitely less than 1 minute to clean. I think that the problem may be the pre- spraying the pan with oil and then spraying the food with more oil. I rarely use ANY oil. I think what is happening is the same thing as when you pre-spray a cookie sheet when baking in a regular oven: that extra spray bakes onto the sheet making it difficult to clean. Just a thought. I find I don't need that extra oil at all.
Hi Mary! I only think the tray of the Dual Blaze is a little more challenging to clean. However I don't often use the tray, so it's not much of an issue for me! :)
Love your videos. When I cook a whole chicken in my Emerald Air Fryer, I loosen the skin, on the breast, thighs and back. I mix a little olive oil with my seasons and spoon some under the skin. Also, after I loosen the skin, I place the chicken in the sink and pour boiling water over it. This renders the fat out of the skin, which allows the skin to crisp. It will make the skin very tender, so be very careful spooning in the oil and spices, or the skin will tear.
Great tips Bob! Thank you!
Hello Cathy,
I have a white beautiful Cosori to match my kitchen, and if I had a choice to purchase again, I would choose the Cosori white.
Very nice to have that choice!
Her- You can get a Cosori for as low as $80. Me- 🤯
So, when are you going to review the Caitlyn Jenner air fryer?
They’re $30 at Walmart now so it was worth it to buy for my wife
I put a chicken in the air fryer this afternoon, absolutely scrumptious. Thanks for the video!
You are so welcome!
Great, fair review. Thanx! 👌
Thx for watching!
Can you do a video on how to clean the air fryer where the burner and fan is located. Can i take the burner off?
Kathy does have a video on how to clean the air fryer.
I haven't tested removing the burner... would be an interesting experiment though! 😬
Never thought to use Air fryer for dehydrating ❤
No preheat or shake reminder? Definitely a miss in user friendliness. The beautiful one is not for us ADHDers
lol
GOT MY COSORI REPLACEMENT LAST WEEK! I accepted the black since I would have to wait another 2-3 months for the red - could not wait - using it today.
I know what you mean. I chose to wait for a white one only because I bought one of the mini Cosori’s to tide me over when the recall first began.
Yay Nancy! So glad to hear it!
a drew barrymore air fryer thats ironic an air head with an air fryer🤣
Cathy, I just got my Cosori replacement today!! 🎉
YAY!!!!!
I think I saw you in Jurassic Park
Chicken from out of the Beautiful one looks better imo
It’s 69 bucks now just ordered on sale
Why does mine make so much noise
I’m happy with my Cosori
I have Drew's smaller air fryer and also the one you reviewed. I also had a Cosori, which failed us within 15 months, control panel malfunctioning. The Beautiful by Drew Barrymore airfryers are excellent products and a great value, made very very well. Of course, you're so stuck in Cosori, you actually nitpick to find faults of any air fryer you review. Other than that, your videos are good, but quit bragging about Cosori, they're not that good.
Thanks for the honest review. What brand is the oil pump sprayer you use? Where did you buy it?
Got it right here! amzn.to/4dN7AIA
I think you will like your Cosori more.
When you took the chickens out, I saw that the "Beautiful" one definitively kicked the Cosori's butt. Not enough headroom. Just sayin'. Of course, my Phillips would have done the same...but I will not judge the Cosori too much- It is a bit less expensive than mine.
Don't get the Gwyneth Paltrow version. Never get the smell out of your food...
Ha! I didn't even know there WAS a Gwyneth Paltrow version! lol
ouch lol
Hi! Love❤your content and enthusiasm. What can you tell me, if anything, about The Power XL 5qt Vortex Classic? I’m returning my third this year. I love it but it stops working.
If it's Teflon, it's a "no" for me.
I have the Cornflower Blue 6qt fryer. It's quiet and fits on top of the microwave. Cooked the quesadillas, nice and crispy.
I’m only a couple minutes in the video and love it already! Your voice is great alluring… it’s saying please buy!! I actually got mine for free in a bulk dumpster….
I love Drew, but probably wouldn't love her air fryer From what I've seen, I still would keep my Cosori. I love it.
Mine was a model from the recalled list. I had a White one & still waiting for it.
They asked if I would go Black, as it would be quicker to get, but I'm sticking with White & will wait. All My appliances are White. C'est la vie!
Thank you for this informative comparison.
I LOVE Cathy, if you wash your🐔chicken🗣wash it🤣🤣your so REAL, tell them Cathy👏🏽👏🏽
Looked like a good, unbiased review. Thank you.
Thank you!
been trying to make up my mind on what Air Fryer to buy and it is driving me beyond crazy , do i buy lowest cost or highest and every time i make up my mind i see yet another one that confuses me and then i see this Drew model and it sent my head into a tail spin and now i am more confused than ever , the Beautiful is styling right out of the head of Steve Jobs , now i am beyond torn and i am going to go against my better judgment and go all shallow and go for the beauty and buy Beautiful ugggggg lucky the color i want in the 6 quart is on sale for 48 dollars , but the Pro11 is now 89 dollars , but i am going to buy the Beautiful
Idk.. if there’s no shake timer, I wouldn’t shake in review. Doesn’t make sense to add the function to the cooking process when it doesn’t tell you to.
I don't know if you saw my comment but Drew is not Appliance expert all she did was designed the look of the product
