The COSORI TurboBlaze is a single-basket air fryer, released in 2023. This model has 6.3 quarts of capacity, enough to serve three to four people. It offers a wide range of fan speeds, with five settings to choose from, and a long list of preset cooking modes, including Air Fry, Roast, Dry, and Keep Warm. It also includes a preheat reminder that tells you when to add food.

Our Verdict

7.8
French Fries 

The COSORI TurboBlaze makes a good batch of French fries, whether fresh or frozen. As a 6.3-quart air fryer, it doesn't have the largest overall capacity, but there's ample room to spread food out compared to similar-capacity models. Combined with a high maximum fan speed and power draw, the extra space helps fries crisp up quickly, so only a few pieces in each batch remain mushy or burn. Even fresh fries cut into thick wedges cook evenly, making it a solid option no matter how you like to eat your potatoes. Just keep in mind that fresh-cut fries take a lot longer to cook. Finally, the compact design means that you can make a side of fries while leaving the rest of your counter clear to prep a main dish.

Pros
  • Evenly crisps frozen fried foods.

  • Cooks batches of small foods quickly.

  • Compact design is ideal for small spaces.

  • More space to spread food out in than other 6-quart models.

  • Effectively crisps food with a higher water content.

Cons
  • Cooks moist foods somewhat slowly.

  • Capacity is on the smaller side; not ideal for larger batches.

7.9
Chicken Wings 

The COSORI TurboBlaze makes crispy, evenly cooked wings. It cooks wings somewhat slowly, but even when you're starting with raw wings, this air fryer leaves most of them crispy on at least one side. Only a small amount of fat renders throughout the cooking process, so the wings remain moist and juicy when they're finished. If you're making a quick batch of precooked wings, they cook much faster and come out even crisper and more evenly cooked. One downside of this model for wings is its capacity. While its basket has more surface area to spread food out in than other similar-capacity models, it can still be a tight squeeze when you're trying to arrange a large batch of wings in a single layer.

Pros
  • Evenly crisps frozen fried foods.

  • More space to spread food out in than other 6-quart models.

  • Effectively crisps food with a higher water content.

Cons
  • Cooks moist foods somewhat slowly.

  • Capacity is on the smaller side; not ideal for larger batches.

8.2
Air Frying 

The COSORI TurboBlaze makes crispy, well-browned air-fried food. Whether you're cooking a side of frozen fries or something more substantial, like wings, pork medallions, or burgers, most of your food comes out crispy and evenly browned. Fries and other frozen fried foods crisp up very quickly, too, though thicker proteins take a while longer. When it comes to other cooking methods, like dehydrating and broiling, this air fryer offers a ton of versatility and several preset cooking modes, so you can easily use it for a variety of tasks in the kitchen. With all that in mind, one downside of this model is that its temperature fluctuates significantly, which isn't ideal for foods that require steady, precise heat, such as a batch of scones, a salmon fillet, or thick-cut pork chops.

Pros
  • Evenly crisps frozen fried foods.

  • Cooks batches of small foods quickly.

  • Effectively crisps food with a higher water content.

  • Wide range of settings adds versatility for dehydrating, baking, and more.

Cons
  • Cooks moist foods somewhat slowly.

  • Capacity is on the smaller side; not ideal for larger batches.

  • Temperature fluctuates, undershooting your setting often.

7.3
Cooking Capacity 

The COSORI TurboBlaze has a 6.3-quart capacity, enough to serve three to four people, depending on the recipe. The chamber isn't particularly tall, so you may struggle to fit whole potatoes or buns, but it has more surface area than most 6-quart models, making it easier to spread food out for proper airflow and better results.

Pros
  • More space to spread food out in than other 6-quart models.

  • Enough capacity for 3-4 portions at a time.

Cons
  • Cooking chamber is a bit short, limiting what you can make.

7.7
Cooking Speed 

The COSORI TurboBlaze preheats somewhat slowly, but, unlike most air fryers, it has a preheat reminder, so you know exactly when to add your food. It cooks faster, especially for small batches of sides, snacks, and appetizers like fries, mozzarella sticks, and spring rolls. Fatty proteins like wings, sausages, and pork chops take longer to brown, though you won't be left waiting for too long.

Pros
  • Cooks batches of small foods quickly.

  • Includes a preheat reminder, an uncommon convenience feature.

Cons
  • Cooks moist foods somewhat slowly.

  • Preheats somewhat slowly compared to other air fryers.

7.7
Size 

The COSORI TurboBlaze has a compact design for its capacity. It's not very tall, and some air fryers with similar capacities take up more space on your counter.

Pros
  • Compact design is ideal for small spaces.

  • Smaller than many other 6-quart air fryers.

    1.  Updated Oct 15, 2026: We've updated this review to Test Bench 1.1, which adds a new test for Meat and Poultry and renames the Frying Quality box to Fried Foods. We also separated the Cooking Chamber box into Cooking Chamber and Cooking Surface boxes, and changed the components of the Cooking Speed box to reflect cook times for both fried foods and meat and poultry. Finally, we updated the usages to account for the new tests. To read more about the updates, see the Changelog.
    2.  Updated Feb 20, 2026: We converted this review to Test Bench 1.0.2. We've added a 'Glass Cooking Chamber' result in the Cooking Chamber section to indicate if the cooking chamber is made of glass or not.
    3.  Updated Jan 14, 2026: 

      We added information about the Wi-Fi-enabled variant of this product, the TurboBlaze 6.0-Quart Smart Air Fryer.

    Differences Between Sizes And Variants

    The COSORI TurboBlaze comes in Light Gray, Dark Gray, and Black. There's also a Wi-Fi-enabled version, available in Cream. We tested the standard variant in Black and expect the Wi-Fi-enabled variant to perform differently. Here's the label for our unit.

    If you encounter another variant, let us know in the comments, and we'll update our review.

    Popular Air Fryer Comparisons

    The COSORI TurboBlaze is a 6-quart fryer suitable for preparing food for three to four people. Compared with other 6-quart air fryers, like the Beautiful 6qt Digital air fryer, its basket shape provides more cooking surface area, giving you more room to arrange food in a single layer, which can help you make better-quality fried food. As a result, more of each batch of fries, spring rolls, or chicken drumsticks comes out crispy and evenly browned than with the Beautiful.

    This model also provides more versatility than most air fryers in this size range. For example, it can reach a higher temperature and a wider range of fan speeds than the Ninja Pro AF141, which is helpful for dehydrating, roasting, broiling, and more. However, unlike the Ninja, it doesn't maintain a very stable temperature, so it's not the best choice for foods that need steady heat, like baked goods or a salmon fillet. It also cooks moist foods, such as raw proteins and high-water-content vegetables, somewhat slowly. If you like the COSORI TurboBlaze, but you want a faster option, you might prefer the COSORI Iconic. It doesn't cook as evenly, but it works faster for many recipes, provides even more versatility, and comes in a shiny stainless steel finish.

    If you're looking for a recommendation, check out our list of the best air fryers, the best 6-quart air fryers, and the best air fryers for French fries.

    Ninja Pro AF141

    Track

    While the COSORI TurboBlaze and the Ninja AF141 provide good performance, the COSORI comes out ahead overall and is a better choice for most people. Whether you're cooking simple frozen snacks, like a plate of fries, or something heartier, like a batch of wings, your food comes out more evenly cooked with the COSORI. It offers greater versatility, too, so it’s a better choice for other cooking methods, such as baking, dehydrating, or broiling. On the flip side, the Ninja preheats and cooks faster and maintains a more stable temperature throughout the process, so you may still prefer it if you're looking for a fast air fryer.

    Ninja Max XL AF161

    Track

    The COSORI TurboBlaze and the Ninja Max XL AF161 both perform well, and you may prefer either depending on your needs. The COSORI offers more cooking capacity and a larger cooking surface area, despite being slightly smaller, making it a good option if you have limited counter space. It also makes slightly higher-quality fried food and offers greater versatility, with a couple of extra preset cooking modes and a wider range of temperature and fan-speed settings. Conversely, the Ninja preheats and cooks faster. It also maintains a more stable temperature throughout the cooking process, so it's easier to follow recipes precisely.

    Ninja Air Fryer Pro XL AF181

    Track

    The Ninja Air Fryer Pro XL AF181 and the COSORI TurboBlaze are very evenly matched, and either could be a suitable choice, depending on your needs. They both offer approximately 6.5 quarts of capacity, but the COSORI's basket has a larger surface area, making it easier to arrange food in a single layer. It also makes higher-quality fried food and offers greater versatility, with a wider range of temperature settings and, in particular, fan speeds. Conversely, the Ninja cooks faster and maintains a more stable temperature throughout the process. It's also a little more compact.

    Chefman Crispinator 8 Qt.

    Track

    The COSORI TurboBlaze is a better air fryer than the Chefman Crispinator 8 Qt. for most people. The COSORI cooks more evenly, so whether you're making a quick plate of fries or mozzarella sticks, or something more substantial like a batch of wings, more of your food comes out crispy and well-browned. The COSORI also cooks frozen snacks like onion rings or spring rolls faster, though the Chefman finishes cooking whole, raw proteins more quickly. The Chefman also offers more capacity and has a window in the basket so you can keep an eye on your recipes; you may still prefer it if you often make larger portions or if you're specifically looking for a windowed air fryer.

    The basket has a larger surface area than some other 6-qt air fryers, like the Beautiful 6qt Digital, so you have more room to spread your food out in a single layer.

    While our unit's crisper plate has a PTFE coating, COSORI has since switched to a ceramic non-stick coating. When purchasing a new unit, you can expect the updated ceramic coating. This type of coating is slightly more difficult to clean, but you may prefer it if you avoid PTFE materials. You can also use the air fryer without the plate, though it's recommended for more even heating in most recipes.

    While COSORI also advertises the Wi-Fi-enabled variant as a 6-quart model, their product specs list 6.5 quarts of capacity, so it may have a little more space, but we haven't tested it.

    It offers a wide range of temperatures and fan speeds, making it suitable for a variety of uses. Faster speeds are useful for quickly cooking and crisping, while you'll use lower fan speeds for proofing dough or dehydrating. A lower fan speed can also help prevent baked goods from drying out before being cooked in the center.

    The nine presets have different fan speeds, default temperatures, and times. The Turbo modes all use the maximum fan speed (5). The fan speed is determined by the preset and can't be adjusted manually; however, you can adjust the temperature and time regardless of the preset chosen.

    • Air Fry: Fan speed 5/5, 385 °F
    • Roast: Fan speed 5/5, 425 °F
    • Broil: Fan speed 5/5, 450 °F
    • Frozen: Fan speed 5/5, 390 °F
    • Reheat: Fan speed 4/5, 390 °F
    • Bake: Fan speed 3/5, 330 °F
    • Dry: Fan speed 1/5, 135 °F
    • Proof: Fan speed 1/5, 90 °F
    • Keep Warm: Fan speed 2/5, 170 °F

    There's a dedicated preheat mode, and the air fryer beeps when it's ready. This model doesn't have a shake reminder feature.

    While the Wi-Fi-enabled variant advertises an additional function, the only one listed is Preheat, meaning that both variants effectively have the same number of cooking modes.

    This air fryer evenly crisps simple fried foods, like frozen fries, chicken nuggets, and egg rolls. Most of each batch winds up golden brown, neither too mushy nor too crunchy.

    That said, despite its solid performance, this air fryer cooks a little less evenly than some other models with a similar capacity and power draw, such as the Ninja Speedi SF301. As we learned in our air fryer investigation, the big difference is that the Cosori uses higher fan speeds for its Air Fry setting (3600 RPM) than the Ninja model (2900 RPM). The higher fan speeds are counterproductive, resulting in mediocre temperature stability as the heating element cycles on and off.

    This air fryer offers very good results when cooking meat and poultry. Wings, for example, stay moist and juicy throughout cooking, and most of the batch comes out crispy on at least one side.

    The highly adjustable settings make this model a good choice for leaner cuts of meat that are prone to drying out at overly high temperatures or in strong airflow, such as chicken breast or pork tenderloin. However, the temperature fluctuates during cooking, frequently dropping below the setpoint, so you get pretty good, but not perfect, results when cooking foods that require consistently high heat, like chicken wings or steak.
