7 Best Cosori Air Fryers of 2026

If you’ve ever struggled to cook two different meals at once without flavor transfer or timing mismatches, the COSORI Dual Air Fryer 9Qt is a game-changer. With dual 4.5-quart baskets, independent controls, and the standout Sync Finish function, this model lets you cook chicken and veggies—or salmon and sweet potatoes—to perfect doneness simultaneously, even if they start at different times. It’s engineered for family-centric cooking, solving the real-world headache of serving a balanced, hot meal to picky eaters and health-conscious diners alike, all while using 85% less oil than traditional frying.

In testing, the dual-basket design proved invaluable for weekday dinners where proteins and sides need different treatments. Each basket reaches up to 450°F, delivering crispy exteriors on everything from French fries to steak, while JuiceLock technology keeps meats juicy inside. The Sync Cook mode is equally useful—set both baskets to the same temp and time with one tap, ideal for doubling up on favorites like wings or roasted veggies. However, the unit is bulky and may overwhelm smaller countertops, and while the separate baskets prevent flavor mixing, they can’t cook at drastically different temperatures in true independence.

Compared to single-basket models like the COSORI Pro Gen 2, this dual-fryer trades compactness for unparalleled family meal flexibility. It doesn’t just air fry—it bakes, broils, roasts, and reheats with ease, making it a kitchen workhorse for parents, meal preppers, or anyone cooking for multiple dietary needs. For those tired of juggling oven racks or reheating leftovers in stages, this model consolidates effort into one efficient appliance. It costs more than mid-range options, but the time saved and meal quality delivered make it a smarter long-term investment than stacking multiple small fryers.

Craving restaurant-quality crispiness without the oil? The COSORI Air Fryer Pro 5QT delivers golden, juicy results with its 450°F max heat and JuiceLock technology, making it a top pick for meat lovers and low-carb dieters. Its compact square basket maximizes space over round designs, fitting up to three servings effortlessly—perfect for couples or small families. With 9 one-touch programs and access to 130+ app-based recipes complete with nutritional data, it’s a dream for health-focused cooks who want precision without guesswork.

During real-world use, the high-heat searing capability transformed chicken thighs into crackling-skinned delights in under 20 minutes, while frozen fries came out uniformly crisp—no shaking required. The square basket design reduces dead zones, ensuring even airflow, though overcrowding can still lead to steaming. The glass control panel is sleek and easy to wipe clean, a rare win in a category plagued by fingerprint-prone plastics. However, the 5-quart capacity can feel tight when cooking for more than three, and the app, while helpful, isn’t essential for basic operation.

When stacked against the COSORI Pro Gen 2, this model offers similar performance but with a more refined cooking experience—especially for those who prioritize speed and texture. It lacks the Gen 2’s customizable presets but makes up for it with stronger thermal performance and a cleaner aesthetic. Ideal for apartment dwellers, newlyweds, or fitness enthusiasts, it balances power and footprint better than most. While it doesn’t have the bells and whistles of higher-end models, its consistent results and compact efficiency outshine many competitors in its class.

The COSORI Pro Gen 2 isn’t flashy, but its no-nonsense reliability and 5.8-quart square basket make it a quiet champion among mid-range air fryers. Engineered to cook up to 50% faster than a conventional oven, it’s perfect for busy households needing fast, healthy meals. The 13 one-touch functions, tuned by real chefs, deliver consistent results—whether you’re air frying wings, baking cookies, or reheating pizza. And thanks to a precision NTC sensor, temperature stays within ±3°F, eliminating hot spots and undercooked patches.

In daily testing, the extra corner space in the square basket made a noticeable difference—whole chickens (up to 5 lbs) fit with room to spare, and batch cooking became effortless. The nonstick, dishwasher-safe basket cleaned up in seconds, and the 100 included paper recipes were a thoughtful touch for users without smartphones. However, the control panel lacks a viewing window, so you must pull the basket to check food, disrupting airflow. And while the 1,700W heating element is powerful, it can be noisy at peak fan speed—nothing alarming, but not silent.

Compared to the Clear Window model, the Pro Gen 2 sacrifices visibility for lower cost and proven durability. It doesn’t have a light or window, but it wins on value and cooking consistency. For families of 3–5 who want large capacity without premium pricing, this model hits the sweet spot. It may lack the “wow” factor of newer designs, but its performance-to-price ratio is hard to beat—outperforming many pricier rivals in actual kitchen use.

Imagine watching your fries turn golden without opening the basket—COSORI Clear Window Air Fryer makes that possible with its full-panel viewing window and internal light, eliminating the guesswork of cooking. This feature alone transforms the experience, letting you monitor browning and doneness in real time, which is especially useful for delicate items like fish or meringues. With a 6.5-quart capacity and square basket design, it offers more space than most 5.8QT models while maintaining a similar footprint—ideal for those who want larger meals without cluttering the counter.

Powered by AdaptIQ 360° circulation, it delivers even, rapid cooking across all functions—from bacon to roasted vegetables. The 12 one-touch presets include smart options like “Shrimp” and “Frozen Foods,” while the customizable preheat and shake reminders add a layer of control rare in this price range. In testing, it crisped tater tots to perfection and roasted a full tray of Brussels sprouts without flipping. However, the window can fog up during long cooks, slightly obscuring visibility, and the basket, while dishwasher-safe, has a tight fit that can make removal tricky when full.

Against the Pro Gen 2, this model trades a bit of raw capacity for superior usability and visual feedback. It’s not the largest or cheapest, but it’s the best for cooks who value precision and engagement. Whether you’re teaching kids to cook or just hate overcooking steak, the real-time monitoring is a game-changer. It doesn’t cook faster, but it cooks smarter, reducing errors and boosting confidence—making it a standout for both beginners and seasoned users.

The Cosori TurboBlaze 6QT earns its title as Best Overall with a trifecta of speed, silence, and superior finish. Its TurboBlaze 3600 rpm fan and 5-speed airflow system deliver crispy, evenly cooked food up to 30% faster than standard models, while operating at under 53dB—quieter than a dinner conversation. With a temperature range from 90°F to 450°F, it’s not just for frying; you can proof dough, dehydrate herbs, or keep meals warm without overcooking. The premium ceramic coating on the basket resists scratches and makes cleanup effortless, even after sticky glazes or cheese-laden dishes.

In practice, the 6-quart square basket handled family-sized portions with ease—perfect for four-portion sheet-pan meals or double batches of fries. The custom preheat function adjusts time based on selected temp, saving energy and reducing wait. Whether air frying chicken wings or baking a small cake, results were consistently golden and moist inside. However, the ceramic coating, while durable, requires gentle handling to avoid chipping, and the control panel, though intuitive, lacks a saveable custom program—a missed opportunity given its otherwise advanced features.

Stacked against the Clear Window model, the TurboBlaze wins on performance and versatility, though it lacks visual monitoring. For users who want restaurant-grade results at home—with quiet operation and multi-function flexibility—it’s unmatched. It’s pricier than entry models, but the build quality, cooking range, and health benefits (95% less oil) justify the cost. If you want one air fryer to do it all—fast, quietly, and cleanly—this is the one.

This isn’t just an air fryer—it’s a countertop oven revolution. The COSORI 11-in-1 Air Fryer Oven combines the crisp of an air fryer with the versatility of a mini oven, adding rotisserie, toast, and proof functions rarely seen in this category. With a 13-quart capacity and two-tier cooking, it can roast a whole chicken on one rack while toasting buns below—perfect for Sunday dinners or holiday prep. And despite its size, it’s smaller than most ovens, fitting neatly on countertops or in cabinets.

Its 40% faster cooking claim holds up in testing—frozen pizza goes from freezer to table in under 15 minutes, and rotisserie chicken emerges with crackling skin and juicy meat thanks to even heat circulation. The included accessories—wire racks, skewers, crisper plate—expand its utility, turning it into a multi-cooker powerhouse. However, the learning curve is steeper than with standard fryers, and the interior light is dim, making it hard to monitor food without opening the door. Also, while it air fries well, it doesn’t quite match the crisp level of dedicated high-speed models like the TurboBlaze.

Compared to the Dual Air Fryer, this model trades speed for multi-function dominance. It’s not ideal for quick snacks, but for bakers, rotisserie fans, or toast lovers, it replaces multiple appliances. Ideal for small kitchens, RVs, or anyone tired of oven preheat times, it’s a space-saving marvel. While it’s not the fastest fryer, its broad functionality and large capacity offer exceptional value—doing more than most fryers, without taking over your kitchen.

Don’t underestimate the COSORI 2.1QT Mini Air Fryer—its tiny frame packs a punch for singles, students, or snack lovers. Weighing just 4.87 lbs and measuring under 10 inches wide, it’s perfect for dorms, RVs, or cramped kitchens, yet it crisps fries, reheats pizza, and even bakes small desserts with surprising efficiency. With up to 97% less oil, it’s a health-conscious snack machine, turning yesterday’s greasy takeout into today’s crispy revival—no oven needed. The Reheat function is a standout, restoring crunch better than microwaves or toasters.

In testing, it excelled at small-batch cooking—two chicken tenders or a single-serving sweet potato fry batch came out evenly cooked in under 12 minutes. The nonstick basket is dishwasher-safe, and the 30 app-based recipes offer creative ideas beyond frozen foods. However, the 2.1-quart capacity is tight—only fitting one meal at a time—and the lack of presets beyond four core functions limits versatility. It also lacks a viewing window, so checking progress means interrupting airflow.

Versus the Pro 5QT, this model sacrifices power and space for ultra-portability and simplicity. It’s not for families, but for college students, seniors, or office kitchens, it’s unbeatable. It may not replace a full fryer, but as a dedicated snack or reheat station, it’s affordable, efficient, and space-smart. For those who want crispy food on demand without bulk or cost, this mini fryer delivers maximum convenience in a tiny package.
