Damn, first 750k Insignia Air Fryers recalled last year, now 2 million here.

I got an email from Cosori today saying mine is recalled. They're offering a free replacement, just had to take pictures of the front, back, and underside along with the Batch number, and literally cut the powercord to verify I've disabled it. Which I did. So hopefully they actually do ship the replacement now. . . .

The kerning of the default old reddit font made me read the second part as, "bum hazards."

We had an air fryer turn into a rolling ball of fire on our back porch about a year ago. I wonder if it was one of the recalled ones. Had it been in the house I'm quite sure it would have burned the place down.

Ditto. It's funny cause I already had to add a bump of high temp epoxy on the top of the basket to keep it working anyway.

When I pushed it into the machine the switch wouldn't close reliably. It had just worn down with use.

The process sucks. They require you to take three photos proving you’ve disabled the product and then hang onto the product and await instructions.

The form reset on me three times when I look for the info. Read the requirements first and then get it done.

Feels almost intentional, with a poor process. Last time dealing with Cosori for me.

Clearly they don't own an air fryer!

I got the same recall, this is supposed to be the good unit! Dammit.

I'm doing the recall, but I could see maybe using it in the driveway for a little things occasionally. It's not like I used it even once a week. It was rare.

Dang. I really like that air fryer, but I like not dying more. Thanks OP.

I did this yesterday as well. My air fryer is pretty beat up. The basket doesn’t latch together properly anymore, also the buttons have basically never worked well. Hoping I get a decent replacement since I’ve sent the hostage photos of it with the chopped cord.

A couple years ago I had my air frier catch fire and almost burn my house down. I figured it was user error caused by grease or something. Now I am kinda pissed that I didn’t contact Cosori after that.

Go with the Insta Pot if you're looking for a good inexpensive air fryer.

Glad I got the larger model air fryer from them. It seems to be one of the only models that isn't being recalled.

this is a brand I frequently see as touted good deal whenever the sales hit. by which I mean, this brand goes on sale often enough that it's memorable resulting in a rather large installed user base that will probably never ever hear about this recall.

suddenly really happy I bought a gowise instead,even if I'm on my second one because the first had a fan die. at least mine have never ever caught fire, so there's that ;-)

They're offering replacements as part of the recall. They actually have a whole selection of products that it can choose from if you don't want a new air fryer.

It makes sense though. The pictures prove the product and that you have disabled it. But people suck at taking pictures so they tell you to keep it until they instruct you to get rid of it, which is probably when they approve your recall submission.

I was actually planning on buying an air fryer until I read some professional kitchen utensil testers say that using a convection oven does the same job but can cook larger amounts of food.

Because I purchased it to work, and not for me to have a disabled photographed box of e-waste sitting on my counter until they replace it. Fortunately we don’t rely on the air fryer alone, but apparently some people do, who now need to get a different food prep solution while they wait for their replacement.
