I can't compare it to Cosori as I haven't used Cosori

Did you get the problem of plastic smell while heating?
Have had this for about 2 weeks, great air fryer. BUT, yes, some do have that dreaded plastic smell. My first one was horrible, but the replacement had mimimal smell which is now gone.
Gourmia CR told me that the smell was really from the heating coil, & if it's a bad smell it will never go away. However, in my experience trying to remove the odor, I found out the smell wasn't plastic nor the coil, but an acrid electronic smell eminating from the electronic circuitry that's above the coil. Just sniff around inside the fryer (OMG, of course when it cools), to tell where the smell is comes from; in my mine the smell was above the coils, not the plastic.
So, try to run it for 30 minutes (in your garage or outside) several times. Google comments about running it with vinegar & lemon jiuce didn't help me. Don't laugh but I also sprayed it with Ozium (an ozone spray), which helped, but the ozium smelled almost as bad as the original smell.
To me it was worth the minor hassle to screw with the first one & exchange it at Costco, as it's a much better air fryer than my old unit, especially at that ridiculous price of $40 at the warehouse.

That is a fantastic bit of info!
I had the insta vortex 6qt and it had a smell that literally stained my kitchen. Been 2 weeks now and it hasnt gone away. I have heard others are considering legal action, maybe there will be a class action lawsuit someday..
IF YOU USE ANY BOX AIR FRYER, MAKE SURE TO RUN IT OUTSIDE FIRST!

I got the 8qt Bella from best buy and didn't have th smell issue. I did have an issue with the fan scraping against the top making a loud sound when in use though so I swapped out for another. Other than that wish the temp went higher than 400 degrees.
I have the 6qt model and i really like it. Does it replace frying? No. It's a good substitute and it's awesome for reheating a lot of leftovers that was fried. Also good for frozen foods. It does mak good chicken wings but you are limited by basket size.

No such smell; only the delicious smell of wings and fries
