What’s Included in the Box
The air fryer comes with the following:
- Dual Blaze 6.8 quart
- Crisper Plate
- User Manual
Air Fryer Basket Shape
The basket is square-shaped which I LOVE. I’m not a fan of air fryers with the round shape. It makes it difficult to fit certain foods and you typically have to cook less. For example, long steaks and cuts of fish were harder to fit within the air fryers with rounded edges on the basket, but that’s not a problem with this model.
Cosori Air Fryer Power and Cook Times
The Power Supply is (US/CA Only): AC 120V, 60Hz with Rated Power: 1750W.
The temperature ranges from 175-400 degrees F. What I love most is you can adjust the temperature in 5 degree increments, this will be very helpful for selecting the perfect cook time for certain foods, which can also speed up the cooking process.
So far, I have tested the air fryer with fried chicken wings. The wings cooked (and crisped perfectly) within 12-14 minutes. I usually cook my wings for at least 20-22 minutes to get them extra crispy. I also loved that they didn’t need to be flipped. No more checking in halfway. You can just let it cook and do other things in the mean time.
Not having to flip is going to save a lot of time.
How to Clean Cosori Air Fryer
Both baskets are dishwasher safe. I usually give them both a little scrub down prior.
The crisping tray provided with this model makes the air fryer much easier to clean. The previous models (and most air fryers) have a basket that is placed inside a try that goes in the air fryer. Now you only have to clean this crisping tray and the outside tray.
On previous air fryer models that basket would get caked with residue along top edges. This is much easier to clean.

Sound/Is it Loud?
This air fryer is the quietest air fryer I have owned. You don’t even really hear that it’s on.
Remote Use and the App
I’m not sure a lot of people will benefit from this feature. It really depends on what your goals are. I use this feature the most while working out in the evening before dinner. I like to use it for roasted vegetable side dishes, air fryer baked potatoes, and air fryer baked sweet potatoes.
Since these aren’t the kind of things that will spoil while sitting out (and in an air fryer), I load them into the air fryer prior to my workout. That way, I can time it to cook while I’m working out and it’s finished when I’m done. I can start the cooking middway through my workout.
Where to Buy Cosori Air Fryer
You can buy the air fryer here on Amazon.
Are Air Fryers Healthy?
The air fryer cuts the fat tremendously in comparison to deep frying. With air frying you only need a spritz of oil in order for food to crisp. This beats submerging food in a deep fryer with oil any day!

Final Thoughts and Recommendation
This air fryer is a game changer. It handles most of the gripes people have about air frying. If you are looking for something larger that may minimize the amount of batches you are cooking, this will work well.
If you hate stopping to fip and shake your food, this is for you.
If you found previous air fryers difficult to clean, this one is much easier.

You cannot start the air fryer from the app in the UK you must press the start on the air fryer

I have used Cosori AF for over a year and love it. However, not sure if i want this one. I think that any grease from what is being cooked will only burn in the pan as it is over a heating element...just like a pan on a stove. Also, I cannot find out if both units have to be used or if you can only use the top one. Otherwise, I love my current Corsi.

@Winston, If you want to use just the top one, head for the broil cycle, as that one only uses the top one.

Your article clinched it for me after several hours of reviews and comparison. Once I finish this comment I’ll be heading for Amazon.com, where the Cosori 6.8 quart dual blaze is on sale for $149 (4/18/22.) I am looking forward to receiving your email recipes. This will be my first air fryer. I decided to get one in order to cook healthier foods with low fat. My husband had cardiac triple bypass surgery 6 months ago. Once is enough. BTW - he’s doing fine.

This thing is A-MAZING. Our first one and it is the 6.8. We've had the luxury of all the new ideas in this Dual Heat Air Fryer. Quick and easy meals and almost cleans itself. We're cooki g T Bones this afternoon and baked potatoes. Hint: get yourself a Heat Stick to take All the questions work and open/close for a peek out of the process.

Thank you for this review! I have been looking to upgrade and came across a few YouTube reviews on this product, but you sealed the deal. I knew that if you didn’t give it the stamp of approval I wasn’t going to purchase. Thank you for your opinion.
