The Cosori TurboBlaze is a 6-litre air fryer that comes loaded with nine different cooking modes, five fan speed settings, a wide temperature range, and a DC motor that Cosori claims will cook your food faster than other air fryers. On paper, it sounds impressive. But what is it actually like in practice, and who is it really made for?
This article walks you through its features, breaks down the pros and cons, and helps you decide whether it is the right air fryer for you. If you are also trying to decide between the TurboBlaze and the similar-sounding Dual Blaze, there is a side-by-side comparison further below covering all the key differences between the two models.

The “46% Faster” Claim
The headline promise behind the Cosori TurboBlaze is that it cooks 46% faster than other air fryers. That sounds like a bold and exciting claim, but it is worth checking the small print before getting too excited. The comparison is not made against air fryers in general. It is made against one specific model, the CP158, which is Cosori’s own 5.5-litre air fryer and, frankly, the least impressive air fryer reviewed so far in this series.
To put the speed claim to a real-world test, frozen fries were cooked in the TurboBlaze. The packet recommended cooking at 180°C for 10 to 12 minutes, while the Cosori instruction booklet suggested 200°C for 13 to 15 minutes. A middle-ground approach of 200°C for 12 minutes was used, and the fries turned out great. However, calling that result meaningfully faster than a standard cook is a stretch.
To take the comparison further, the same fries were cooked in a Cosori Dual Basket air fryer at 200°C on the air fry setting. That is not the model Cosori used to generate the 46% figure, but it still makes for an interesting comparison. The Dual Basket took 15 minutes, just three minutes longer than the TurboBlaze. That works out to the TurboBlaze being roughly 20% faster, not 46%. The speed advantage is real, but the headline number is a little misleading.
The DC Motor
The speed advantage of the Cosori TurboBlaze comes down to its DC motor. Most air fryers do not use DC motors, reportedly because they cost a little more to manufacture. For anyone who did not pay close attention in physics class, Cosori explains that a DC, or direct current, motor is more energy efficient and allows for precise fine-tuning of fan speed and torque with exceptional accuracy.
It is a genuinely interesting piece of technology, and it starts to hint at exactly who this air fryer might be targeted at, something that will be explored more at the end of this article.
Cooking Modes and Presets Explained
The Cosori TurboBlaze offers 10 presets in total, covering nine different cooking modes. Four of those are Turbo Modes that use the DC motor at its maximum fan speed of five out of five. These modes are Air Fry, Roast, Grill, and Frozen.
If you are wondering what the difference is between the Frozen mode and the Air Fry mode, the honest answer is almost nothing. Both run at the same fan power, with Air Fry set to 195°C and Frozen set to 200°C. That 5-degree gap is nearly meaningless in practice, and it feels like the product designers originally wanted to simply call the Air Fry mode “Frozen” before realising they could not release an air fryer without a dedicated Air Fry setting. So they created both and separated them by the smallest possible margin.
The remaining modes are Reheat, Bake, Dehydrate, Proof, Preheat, and Keep Warm. The Preheat setting is one that many manufacturers include, but it is not something you actually need on an air fryer. On a separate Article i explains exactly why. Manufacturers tend to include it because it makes the product look more feature-rich and provides a comfort blanket for people switching over from conventional ovens.

The Proof setting is useful if you want to make bread at home, though even at the lowest fan speed, your dough may dry out slightly over the hour-long proving process. This is not an issue you face in the same way with a more airtight combined cooker like the Ninja 14-in-1, which creates a better environment for proving dough.
Across all these modes, you can adjust the time and temperature freely, but you cannot manually change the fan speed. The fan speed is set by whichever preset you choose, so picking the right mode for your food matters.
Features Worth Highlighting
One of the standout features on the Cosori TurboBlazeis the visual fan speed display on the control panel. You can see exactly what fan speed is active at any given time without needing to check the instruction booklet or memorise which setting corresponds to which speed. It is a small detail, but it makes the air fryer noticeably easier to use day to day.
The TurboBlaze also uses a loose crisper plate rather than the basket design found in the 5.5-litre model. This gives you considerably more flexibility when loading and cooking food. The overall build quality and design also feel more refined, and the air fryer runs quietly during operation.
The control panel does attract dust and fingerprints, as most touch panels do, but it looks sharp and the compact footprint means it fits comfortably on most kitchen countertops. The temperature range runs from 30°C all the way up to 230°C, and the timer can be set anywhere between one minute and 24 hours.
By comparison, the 5.5-litre Cosori model only offers a range of 75°C to 205°C, so the TurboBlaze gives you significantly more flexibility across both temperature and time.
One feature that does not land as well is the drawer release mechanism. To open the drawer, you have to press a small button to unlock it first. For anyone who regularly shakes the drawer or checks on food during cooking, this extra step feels unnecessary. That said, if you have children in the house, that child-lock-style mechanism might actually be a welcome safety feature depending on your situation.
Cosori TurboBlaze vs Ninja Dual Blaze
For anyone deciding between the Cosori TurboBlaze and the Dual Blaze, here is a clear breakdown of how the two models compare. The Dual Blaze features two heating elements, one on top and one on the bottom, along with Wi-Fi connectivity. It has a slightly larger capacity, a taller profile, and comes in at a slightly higher price point.
The TurboBlaze has a single heating element, a more rounded and compact design, no Wi-Fi, and is slightly deeper from front to back while being shorter in height. Its key selling point remains the DC motor and the faster cooking speed that comes with it.
Cosori, like most air fryer brands, produces multiple models to target different types of buyers. The Dual Basket feels well suited for families. The Cosori Light, which won a design award and includes Wi-Fi, feels like it was made for a younger couple. The TurboBlaze sits somewhere else entirely.
- DC motor enables noticeably faster cooking plus precise fan speed control
- Visual fan speed display removes the need to check the manual
- Wide 30°C–230°C range and 24-hour timer add solid flexibility vs. other Cosori models

Who Is the Cosori TurboBlaze Really For?
This is where things get a little more opinionated, so consider it an observation rather than a rule. The Cosori TurboBlaze is called the TurboBlaze. It has a turbo function. It uses a motor that allows you to fine-tune torque with precision. It is, in many ways, being marketed like a car.
Based on everything about how it is positioned and presented, it appears to be primarily targeted at younger men who enjoy performance specs and technical precision. That does not mean anyone else cannot buy it or enjoy it, but the branding and the marketing language point in a very specific direction. Feel free to disagree in the comments.
