Professional reviewers note that the Vortex Plus stands out for its higher wattage and broader temperature range, which translate into faster cooking and the inclusion of a true broil function. However, they also point out that the unit's larger size and weight make it less ideal for users with limited counter space.
Everyday users provide limited commentary, with a modest average rating on retail sites and mentions of the 90-day return policy. The few available remarks highlight appreciation for the large capacity and easy cleanup, while also noting the appliance's bulk and occasional lack of shake-reminder features.
“very quiet”
Professional reviewers praise the Cosori Pro LE for its even cooking, quiet Air Whisper® operation, high 450°F heat, and modern angled glass display. They note the intuitive 9-preset interface and shake reminders as strengths, while criticizing the absence of automatic preheat and the need for rear clearance, which can limit placement.
Everyday users love the quiet performance, easy-to-use presets, and compact size that fits small kitchens. Common praise centers on consistent crisping and the convenience of dishwasher-safe parts. Recurring complaints focus on the manual preheat step, the requirement for rear airflow clearance, and the need to batch-cook for larger meals.
