Cosori TurboBlaze Air Fryer Review: Roomy, Crisp and Easy

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Disclosure

Overview

Cosori rates the TurboBlaze’s 5.7 L (6-quart) basket for three to five people and fits it into a body about 30 cm (12 inches) wide and deep, not counting the handle. It is a single-basket air fryer with nine cooking functions, a DC motor that drives five fan speeds and a 230°C (450°F) top temperature, sold on Amazon in the US and Canada.

In Canada, the TurboBlaze’s case rests on its basket more than its price. Amazon.ca had it on sale for $129.93 CAD when we checked on October 16, 2026, but its regular price there was $169.99 CAD, against $147.98 CAD for the Instant Vortex Plus with ClearCook and $99.99 CAD for the Ninja Air Fryer Pro, sold here as the AF141C. Wirecutter calls the TurboBlaze a great air fryer that trails that Ninja on speed and crisping, but its 5.7 L basket holds more than the Ninja’s 4.7 L one, and it brings nine cooking functions to the Ninja’s four.

Key Specifications

Cosori TurboBlaze Air Fryer Cooking Results

Most tests found it crisps food well, from frozen nuggets and fries to raw chicken wings and a roast chicken. Reviewed singled out how well it browned food even with no oil at all, and a whole chicken fit in the basket in Tom’s Guide’s test and came out moist with crisp skin.

Set against Wirecutter’s top pick, the Ninja Air Fryer Pro, its fries and nuggets came out about as well, but the Ninja was quicker: in Wirecutter’s tests it heated up about a minute sooner and wavered less around its set temperature. Wirecutter also found the Ninja overshot its top setting by a wide margin before settling, while the TurboBlaze stayed within a few degrees of its own maximum. The Ninja’s wings were crisper, though the TurboBlaze’s still came out browned and juicy.

Treat Cosori’s suggested times as a starting point. Cosori credits the DC motor with cooking up to 46% faster than its older CP168 (Pro Gen 2) model; Top Ten Reviews couldn’t vouch for that figure but found food overcooked unless it shaved a few minutes off the recipe times. TechRadar’s test of the UK 6-litre version was the outlier: wings and toast came out well, but fries cooked unevenly and a cake stayed raw at the bottom, leading it to call the fryer “consistently inconsistent.” Trusted Reviews’ test of the same UK version found the opposite: quick, consistent cooking across its modes.

Basket Size and Countertop Footprint

The basket is the TurboBlaze’s best feature. Its rounded-square shape gives more usable floor than a round pod: Reviewed fit four chicken thighs with space between them, or four waffles or five slices of bacon without overlap, and Engadget called it one of the roomiest baskets it has seen on a fryer with a relatively small footprint, though it lists the fryer as a little on the wide side. Cosori rates it for three to five people; TechRadar, testing the UK version, thought three is the comfortable number, depending on appetites.

Plan for a little more room than the body suggests. Reviewed found the unit itself about average in size, slightly larger than other fryers it has tested, and Cosori’s manual asks for 13 cm (5 inches) of clear space behind and above the fryer, so it shouldn’t run pushed flush against a wall or tucked tight under a cabinet.

Controls, Presets and Preheating

The angled touchscreen on top is easy to read, and testers found its clearly labelled buttons quick to learn. Each of the nine functions sets its own time, temperature and fan speed: the four Turbo Modes (Air Fry, Roast, Broil and Frozen) run the fan at its highest speed, while slower functions such as Bake and Dehydrate turn it down. You can’t choose a fan speed yourself, but you can save your own time and temperature for any function, something Wirecutter noted its top-pick Ninja doesn’t allow.

Two conveniences are missing. Preheat is a separate cycle of up to four minutes that you run before setting the main one, which Reviewed found clumsy next to fryers that build it into the cooking cycle; Cosori’s manual recommends it, though Wirecutter got good results air frying without it. And there’s no viewing window or shake reminder (Engadget’s spec summary lists one, but Cosori’s manual describes none), so checking food means pulling the basket, which pauses the heating until it goes back in.

Cleanup, Noise and Build

Cleanup is quick. The basket and crisper plate are dishwasher-safe, but testers mostly washed them by hand and found it quick; Tom’s Guide cleaned the basket after roasting a chicken without soaking it. One small catch from Trusted Reviews’ test of the UK version: some fries dropped through the crisper plate’s wide gaps.

It makes some noise, and the readings vary by test. Tom’s Guide measured an average of 68 dB at the top fan speed with a phone sound meter, against 62 dB for its electric range; TechRadar’s test of the UK version read around 60 decibels, about the volume of a conversation between people a metre apart, and Trusted Reviews found the fan barely noticeable over general conversation. The outside stays cool enough to touch while it cooks, and the basket locks in place until you press the release button on the handle.

The housing is plastic, but the basket and the parts that touch food are metal, as Top Ten Reviews pointed out. Cosori’s US manual gives the TurboBlaze a two-year limited warranty for units bought from Cosori or its authorized sellers; Cosori doesn’t publish separate Canadian terms, so check the warranty with the seller before you buy.

How Does It Stack Up Against the Competition?

The TurboBlaze faces the two air fryers the big roundups rank just above it: the Instant Vortex Plus with ClearCook, which adds odour filters to a 5.7 L (6-quart) basket, and the Ninja Air Fryer Pro, a smaller 4.7 L (5-quart) model with four functions.

Cosori TurboBlaze Air Fryer: Worth It for Roomy, Easy Family Cooking

For a Canadian family kitchen, the TurboBlaze is worth buying for its roomy 5.7 L basket and the way it browns food well, and it suits cooks who like to pick a function and fine-tune from there. At $169.99 CAD regular on Amazon.ca, against $99.99 CAD for the Ninja Air Fryer Pro AF141C (both as of October 2026), it pays off for households of three to five that will use the extra room and the proof, bake and broil settings the Ninja lacks; a sale price makes the case easier.

Look elsewhere if you want to watch food cook without opening the drawer: the Instant Vortex Plus with ClearCook has a window and took Engadget’s top spot. If the crispest wings matter more to you than basket room or extra functions, Wirecutter’s top pick, the Ninja Air Fryer Pro, edged the TurboBlaze in its tests, though its basket is smaller. And if you mostly cook for one, 5.7 L may be more than you need; Tom’s Guide pointed solo cooks to a much smaller fryer instead.
