The glass bowl is described as 'heat-resistant' but AIRMSEN does not confirm it is borosilicate glass for this specific model. Borosilicate has superior thermal shock resistance. The glass is food-safe at cooking temperatures regardless, but the exact type is unconfirmed.
The basket is food-grade aluminum with ceramic nonstick coating. FDA-approved material but scored lower than stainless steel or glass.
The tray is 18/8 stainless steel (equivalent to 304 grade) -- the gold standard for food-contact metal. No coating, no degradation pathway. Your food sits directly on bare stainless steel.
The crisper plate uses ceramic nonstick coating over an aluminum base. The material description did not match rubric evaluation bands.
No coating on any surface your food touches. This is the highest possible score -- nothing to chip, degrade, or release chemicals over time.
Ceramic nonstick coating that is claimed PFOA-free but not explicitly PFAS-free. The distinction matters -- PFOA is just one of thousands of PFAS compounds.
AIRMSEN claims the product is completely free of PFAS, PTFE, and heavy metals. Since there are no coatings at all, the claim is structurally plausible -- but no independent lab has verified it.
Cosori claims this model is PFOA-free but does not claim PFAS-free. No independent lab has tested the coating for the full range of PFAS compounds.
The glass bowl with convection rack design provides 360-degree hot air circulation around your food, delivering even crisping from all sides.
Square basket provides more cooking surface and better airflow than round baskets.
At 1600 watts, this unit heats up quickly and maintains temperature well during cooking -- strong for its 6.3-quart capacity.
1500 watts delivers fast preheating and excellent temperature recovery when you open the basket mid-cook.
400 degrees F covers everything from gentle dehydrating to high-heat crisping. Note that other AIRMSEN models reach 450F, but this specific model maxes at 400F.
450 degrees F gives you the full cooking range including high-heat searing that most 400F models cannot achieve.
Both the glass bowl and stainless steel tray go straight in the dishwasher. Glass and stainless are inherently more durable in the dishwasher than coated surfaces.
Basket goes in the dishwasher for easy cleanup.
AIRMSEN claims 43 dB -- which would make this the quietest air fryer available. For context, 43 dB is about as loud as a quiet library. No independent lab has verified this claim.
At 55 dB, this is very quiet for an air fryer -- below normal conversation level. TechRadar independently measured 55.7 dB, confirming the brand claim.
Standard 1-year warranty from AIRMSEN, extendable to 2 years with product registration. Register your product immediately after purchase.
Two-year limited warranty from Cosori, above the industry-standard one year.
Under $100 for a fully uncoated glass and stainless steel air fryer. Competitive with other non-toxic air fryers in the category.
Under $90 for an ETL-certified air fryer with 450F max temp and app integration.
Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.
Go for it if you...
You want zero coatings on every food-contact surface -- bare glass and bare stainless steel mean nothing to degrade, chip, or leach.
You value being able to see your food cook through the transparent glass bowl.
You want a dishwasher-safe design where both the bowl and tray are easy to clean.
Quiet operation matters -- if the 43 dB claim holds, this is the quietest air fryer available.
You want an ETL-certified air fryer with confirmed independent electrical safety testing -- one of the few budget models with this.
Cooking performance is your priority -- 450F max temp and 1500W power deliver top-tier results.
You want a quiet unit -- 55 dB brand claim puts it among the quietest in the category.
You are comfortable with ceramic nonstick coating that is PFOA-free but without broader PFAS verification.
The main thing to know
The glass bowl is labeled 'heat-resistant' but not confirmed as borosilicate -- and the 43 dB noise claim is unverified. No UL/ETL safety certification is disclosed despite the unit being sold at major retailers.
Cosori claims PFOA-free only -- not PFAS-free. PFOA is one compound in the broader PFAS family, so the full chemical status of the ceramic coating remains unknown. The crisper plate and basket use ceramic-coated aluminum without independent material verification.
Skip this if you...
You need confirmed borosilicate glass -- AIRMSEN only says 'heat-resistant glass' for this ASIN.
You require UL or ETL safety certification before purchasing any countertop appliance.
You want third-party PFAS-free verification, not just a manufacturer claim.
You prefer a traditional basket-style air fryer for easy shaking and batch cooking.
You need explicit PFAS-free verification -- this model only claims PFOA-free, which is a narrower claim.
You want uncoated food-contact surfaces like glass or bare stainless steel.
You require third-party lab testing of the ceramic coating before purchasing.
You want to avoid any Prop 65-flagged products (this unit has a lead warning for the power plug).
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
I've reviewed all Air Fryer options at every price pointEvery Air Fryer in our database is scored using R3's deterministic scoring system - the same inputs always produce the same score. For this comparison, we evaluated AIRMSEN and Cosori across 3 independent criteria: Safety (90%), Efficacy (7%), Usability (3%). No sponsored rankings. No paid placements.

The AIRMSEN Portable Glass Air Fryer 6.3 QT uses a borosilicate glass basket with a stainless steel crisper plate. Stainless steel and glass are inherently PFAS-free materials, so this model passes our material safety screen.
Between these two, the AIRMSEN Portable Glass Air Fryer 6.3 QT (borosilicate glass basket, 7.7/10 safety) uses materials I'm more comfortable with at high heat. The Cosori Pro LE Air Fryer 5-Qt's food-grade-aluminum basket scored 4.8/10. In our scoring system, basket material accounts for a significant portion of the safety pillar, which is our highest-weighted scoring factor.
For families, capacity comes first: AIRMSEN offers 6.3-qt vs Cosori's 5-qt. Overall, I'd lean toward AIRMSEN for most families.
304 stainless steel is inherently PFAS-free and won't off-gas at any cooking temperature. Nonstick coatings (PTFE/Teflon) are stable below 400°F but can begin degrading above that threshold. In our scoring system, stainless and borosilicate glass baskets consistently score higher on the safety pillar. That said, a well-maintained nonstick basket from a reputable brand still meets safety baselines - it's a question of margin, not danger.
