Our Verdict

Ninja Max XL AF161

COSORI Dual Blaze 6.8qt CAF-P583S

The Ninja Max XL AF161 is a better air fryer than the COSORI Dual Blaze 6.8qt CAF-P583S for most people. The Ninja makes better-quality food, so more of each batch comes out crispy and golden brown. It also offers more versatility, with a much wider range of temperature settings and fan speeds, making it a better choice if you want to experiment with different cooking methods, such as dehydrating. While they cook equally as fast, the Ninja preheats a bit quicker. The COSORI has a larger capacity, though, so it's worth considering if you want to make larger quantities of food.
