Which is better for a family of four?

The Electactic. Its 5-quart basket holds more than the Cosori's 4 quarts, so you need fewer batches.

Which makes crispier fries?

The Cosori. Its 450°F max runs hotter than the Electactic's roughly 400°F, which browns food faster.

Is the Cosori worth more than $85.99?

Only if you use the app, presets and voice control. If you just want to air fry, the Electactic covers that for less.

Which is easier to clean?

Both list dishwasher-safe parts, so cleaning is a tie.

Which takes less counter space?

The Cosori, at 5 inches wide and 10 inches deep versus the Electactic's 11.22 by 13.19 inches.

Do I need a phone to use the Cosori?

No. The touch panel and presets work on their own; the app and voice control are extras.
