I own three Cosori air fryers: the Iconic, the TurboBlaze, and the TwinFry. I use them almost every day for chicken, steak, and even roasted chestnuts, and people ask me all the time which one they should buy. So here is my honest comparison, plus the cooking tips I wish I knew when I started.

The quick answer

• Best for looks and precise cooking control: the Cosori Iconic. This is my personal favorite.
• Best budget-friendly pick: the Cosori TurboBlaze. Fast, powerful, and the most cooking functions of the three.
• Best for cooking multiple things at once: the Cosori TwinFry. The biggest basket, and it splits into two.

Honestly, all three are top notch for quality and ease of use. The right one comes down to what matters most in your kitchen.

What I actually cook in them

Steak: my favorite thing to make in an air fryer

Steak comes out incredibly good in an air fryer. Here is how I do it:

• Set the air fryer to Roast at 400°F.
• Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how thick the steak is. Thinner steaks need closer to 10 minutes, thicker ones closer to 15.
• For the most accurate result, use a meat thermometer: about 130°F for medium-rare and 140°F for medium, then let it rest for 5 minutes before cutting.

You get a nice crust on the outside and a juicy center, with no smoke filling up your kitchen.

Chicken: use Roast, not Air Fry

This is my biggest tip for chicken. Cook it on the Roast setting. Roast keeps the chicken juicy on the inside while the outside still gets crispy. Air Fry alone can dry chicken out faster.

Cooking time depends on the cut, so always check that the thickest part reaches 165°F with a meat thermometer.

Roasted chestnuts

We also made roasted chestnuts in the air fryer, and they came out so good. They roast evenly, and the shells peel right off. It is one of my favorite fall and holiday snacks now.

Cosori Iconic: my favorite for looks and precise control

The Iconic is the one I reach for most. It is the nicest looking of the three, with a stainless steel body and a tempered glass top, and it gives me the most precise control over my cooking.

• Capacity: 6.5 quarts, serves 3 to 5 people
• Functions: 6 (Air Fry, Roast, Bake, Dehydrate, Proof, Reheat)
• Fan speeds: 5, powered by a DC motor
• Temperature: 90°F to 450°F
• Smart features: VeSync app for remote control, cooking progress, and voice control
• Basket: PFAS-free ceramic nonstick, dishwasher-safe
• Warranty: 5 years

Best for: anyone who wants a beautiful stainless steel air fryer with precise temperature control, smart features, and the longest warranty.

Cosori TurboBlaze: the best budget-friendly pick

If you want a great air fryer without paying for the premium look, the TurboBlaze is my pick. It was Cosori's first air fryer with a DC motor, and Cosori says it cooks up to 46% faster than their older Pro Gen 2 model.

• Capacity: 6 quarts, serves 3 to 5 people
• Functions: 9 (Air Fry, Roast, Bake, Broil, Dehydrate, Frozen, Proof, Reheat, Keep Warm)
• Fan speeds: 5, powered by a DC motor
• Temperature: 90°F to 450°F
• Basket: nonstick, dishwasher-safe
• Warranty: 2 years

Best for: anyone who wants a fast, powerful air fryer with lots of cooking options at a friendlier price.

Cosori TwinFry: the best for cooking multiple things

When I need to cook more than one thing at a time, the TwinFry is the one. It has the most space of the three: one large 9-quart basket with a removable divider. Leave the divider in and you have two separate zones, so you can roast a steak on one side and cook a side dish on the other. Take the divider out and you have room for a whole chicken.

• Capacity: 9 quarts total, or two 4.5-quart zones
• Functions: 6 (Air Fry, Roast, Bake, Broil, Reheat, Dry)
• Sync and Match: Sync finishes both sides at the same time. Match copies the same settings to both sides.
• Temperature: 95°F to 465°F
• Basket: PFAS-free ceramic nonstick, dishwasher-safe
• Warranty: 2 years

Best for: families, meal preppers, and anyone tired of cooking in batches.
