COSORI Air Fryer Toaster Oven CO130-AO
Contact Cosori about nonstick coating type if PFAS avoidance matters.
This COSORI air fryer toaster oven has a stainless steel body but an undisclosed nonstick interior coating. The exterior poses lower concern, yet the nonstick surface type remains unknown, potentially introducing PFAS risk.

What COSORI Air Fryer Toaster Oven CO130-AO is made of, ingredients and materials
The CO130-AO has a stainless steel exterior and interior cooking chamber with an unspecified nonstick coating on cooking surfaces. Stainless steel is not a material linked to PFAS, but the nonstick interior is the critical component, if it is Teflon-type coating (Teflon) based, it poses fume risk only above 350°C; if it is ceramic or silicone-based, the risk profile differs substantially. Cosori has not publicly disclosed the coating chemistry, making independent hazard assessment incomplete. Unspecified coatings also raise concern about durability and what compounds leach if the coating chips or degrades.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Non-stick, chemistry undisclosed
Marketed as non-stick without stating the coating chemistry.
Nonstick coating integrity and leaching
The CO130-AO's nonstick coating type is undisclosed. If Teflon-type coating-based, thermal fume risk exists only above 350°C; if ceramic or silicone, risk is lower but degradation over time still poses unknown leaching. Chips or peeling expose underlying substrate and should trigger replacement.
Teflon-type coating fume inhalation (conditional)
If the interior coating is Teflon-type coating, overheating above 350°C can release toxic fumes (polymer fume fever). Home use rarely reaches these temperatures, but preheating to maximum setting or leaving on empty for extended periods could approach risk zone. Manufacturer specification needed to assess actual risk for this model.
Coating wear and microparticle release
Repeated thermal cycling and mechanical wear from use and cleaning can cause the nonstick coating to flake or degrade, especially if the base material is low-quality ceramic or composite. Ingestion of microparticles from a severely compromised coating is a secondary risk after prolonged use (3-5+ years with heavy use).
What’s reassuring
Stainless steel leaching (minor)
The stainless steel body and heating elements do not have a documented leaching issue in air fryers of this type. Stainless steel is corrosion-resistant; however, acidic foods (vinegar, citrus, tomato) used repeatedly may cause minor surface degradation over years.
Electrical housing and heating element safety
No specific recalls or defects on record for the CO130-AO heating elements or electrical housing. Standard safety certifications (UL, ETL) appear present, though Cosori does not highlight thermal safety testing in marketing materials.
How is this PFAS grade calculated?
The brand's record and disclosure
Cosori is a mid-tier kitchen appliance brand owned by the Chinese conglomerate Vesync and does not maintain a publicly documented PFAS or chemical transparency stance. The company has not published materials safety data sheets or ingredient disclosures for its cookware coatings. No major recalls specific to the CO130-AO nonstick coating have been reported in public databases, but lack of disclosure is not absence of risk. Contacting Cosori directly about nonstick coating type (Teflon-type coating, Teflon-type coating-free ceramic, or other) is necessary to make an informed decision if PFAS avoidance is a priority.
How it compares in its category
Air fryer toaster ovens in this mid-market segment typically use either Teflon-type coating nonstick or proprietary ceramic coatings; Cosori's choice to leave the coating unspecified is less transparent than competitors like Ninja or Instant Pot, which often label coatings explicitly. Premium alternatives (Breville, Convection) typically use ceramic or stainless steel interiors without nonstick, eliminating coating degradation concerns entirely but requiring more oil. Budget alternatives often use similar undisclosed nonstick surfaces, so the CO130-AO sits in an ambiguous middle ground. Build quality and temperature control appear solid for the price, but transparency is a weak point.
If you buy it
Use plastic, wood, or silicone utensils only; metal will scratch the nonstick coating and accelerate degradation and potential leaching. Keep operating temperature below 260°C (500°F) as a precaution; verify exact maximum temperature specifications with Cosori in writing. Hand wash the interior surfaces rather than using harsh abrasive cleaners, which will degrade the coating faster. Inspect the interior coating every 6 months for chips, discoloration, or peeling; if visible damage appears, discontinue use and contact the manufacturer or consider replacement, as a compromised coating is a hazard multiplier.
