Cosori Iconic Dual Air Fryer: Stainless Steel, 8.6L, Two Baskets 2026

The Cosori Iconic Dual air fryer is now official, adding a two-basket model to the company's premium Iconic line. It keeps the brushed stainless steel exterior that made the original Iconic stand out, but swaps the single drawer for a dual-basket setup with a combined 8.6 liters of capacity.

Cosori has priced it at 369 euros. That puts it firmly in high-end air fryer territory, so the question is whether the stainless finish and the two independent baskets justify the outlay for a busy kitchen.

What the Cosori Iconic Dual actually is

The Iconic Dual is the dual-basket sibling of Cosori's existing stainless steel Iconic air fryer. The company already had a single-basket model with that premium metal look, and this new version targets buyers who liked the design but wanted to cook two things at once.

Beyond the material, the design is compact and minimalist, with clean lines that should sit comfortably on most countertops. The control panel is touch-based and mounted on top, which Cosori says gives it good visibility while you're setting a cook.

Stainless steel as the headline feature

The stainless steel body is more than a cosmetic choice. It is the main reason the Iconic line reads as a step above Cosori's plastic-bodied fryers, and it is the detail the company leads with in its own marketing. If your kitchen leans toward metal appliances, this is the model that matches.

Two baskets, 8.6 liters combined

The dual-basket design gives you 8.6 liters when you add both drawers together. That is enough to cook two separate dishes, a main and a side, or a large batch of the same food without stacking it.

Each basket can be set independently for time and temperature, which is the core appeal of a dual-zone fryer. You are not forced to cook fries and chicken at the same settings just because they share a machine.

• Independent settings: each basket gets its own time and temperature.
• Sync finish: a system lets both baskets end cooking at the same moment.
• Duplicate mode: set one basket, then copy the time and temperature to the other with a single action.
• 8.6 liters combined: enough for two dishes or a large single batch.
• Stainless steel body: a premium finish designed to suit any countertop.

How the dual-basket controls work

The most useful feature here is the ability to synchronize the two baskets so they finish together. That solves the classic problem of cooking a protein and a side in one machine and having one go cold while the other finishes.

The duplicate function is the other practical touch. If you are cooking the same food in both baskets, you set one and copy the parameters to the other instead of entering them twice. Small thing, but it saves fiddling on a weeknight.

Who the Iconic Dual is for

This fryer makes most sense for households cooking for two to four people who regularly want two components of a meal at once. It also suits anyone who has been put off dual-basket fryers by plasticky builds and wants a metal finish instead.

If you mostly reheat single portions or cook one thing at a time, the extra basket and the 369-euro price are harder to justify over a simpler model.

Cosori Iconic Dual vs the single-basket Iconic

The table makes the trade-off clear. You pay more and give up some counter space for the second basket and the synchronization features. The finish and the control layout carry over unchanged.

What to watch next

The obvious next step is real-world testing: how evenly the two baskets cook, how loud the unit runs, and whether the stainless exterior is as easy to keep clean as it looks. Cosori has not yet published detailed cooking performance data for this model. A closer look at the same subject appears in Lidl's Compact 2-in-1 Air Fryer and Steamer Lands October 16.

The same theme surfaces in DIY Zen Fountain in Stainless Steel for Your Garden, which takes a different angle.

Availability and any launch promotions are also worth tracking, since 369 euros is a significant ask and air fryer prices tend to move during sales periods. Buyers comparing options should check whether the dual-basket convenience outweighs the premium over the single-basket Iconic.
