What you need to know about Smart Air Fryers

When shopping for a smart air fryer, buyers should consider several key characteristics to ensure they choose the right model for their cooking needs and lifestyle. Here's what to keep in mind:

1. Smart Connectivity & App Integration

Look for models that connect via Wi-FiWi-Fi or Bluetooth and integrate with a companion mobile app (like VeSync for COSORI). Smart air fryers often allow you to:

  • Control and monitor cooking remotely
  • Access a library of chef-crafted recipes
  • Receive notifications when food is ready
  • Customize or save your favorite cooking settings

Some models even work with voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant for hands-free control.

2. Cooking Functions & Presets

A quality smart air fryer should offer multiple cooking functions beyond basic air frying—such as bake, roast, reheat, dehydrate, broil, or proof. Preset programs for common foods (fries, chicken, veggies, etc.) help take the guesswork out of cooking.

3. Speed & Performance

Air fryers vary in performance. Units like the Cosori TurboBlaze feature DC motor technology, which provides faster cooking times and more fan speed control for better precision and even results. Look for models that cook quickly without sacrificing crispiness or flavor.

4. Capacity

Choose a size based on your household:

  • 2–4 quarts for individuals or couples
  • 5–6 quarts for families of 3–5
  • 7+ quarts for entertaining or meal prepping
  • A 6-quart model (like the TurboBlaze) hits a sweet spot for versatility without taking up too much counter space.

5. Temperature and Time Range

Wider temperature (90–450°F) and time ranges (up to 24 hours) let you do more—like slow roasting, dehydrating fruit, or even proofing dough.

6. Ease of Cleaning

Look for baskets and crisper plates that are nonstick and dishwasher-safe to simplify cleanup. Some models even have removable parts for easy access and cleaning.

7. Build Quality & Design

A durable, compact design with a user-friendly digital display or touchscreen enhances both the look and functionality. Make sure the air fryer is easy to store or fits neatly on your countertop.

8. Safety Features

Essential safety features include overheat protection, auto shut-off, and cool-touch handles. Check that the unit is ETL or UL certified for added peace of mind.

How to setup the smart air fryer?

setup instructions on top of Cosori TurboBlaze 6-Quart Smart Air Fryer Quick start guide on top of the Cosori TurboBlaze 6-Quart Smart Air Fryer GearBrain


Setting up your Cosori TurboBlaze Smart Air Fryer is quick and easy, so you can get cooking in no time. Start by carefully unboxing the air fryer and removing all packaging materials, including any protective plastic or foam inside the basket. Place the air fryer on a flat, heat-resistant surface with at least five inches of space around it for proper ventilation. Insert the crisper plate into the basket, then slide the basket fully into the air fryer. Plug the unit into a grounded outlet—make sure it’s not connected to a power strip or extension cord for safety. Before your first use, it’s a good idea to run the air fryer empty for about 5 minutes at 400°F to burn off any factory residues (you may notice a slight odor, which is normal). After the initial run, allow it to cool, then rinse the basket and crisper plate with warm, soapy water or place them in the dishwasher for a thorough clean. Once dry, your TurboBlaze is ready to go. For smart features and guided recipes, download the VeSync app and follow the in-app instructions to pair your device via Wi-Fi. Now you’re ready to explore all the cooking functions and start creating delicious, crispy meals with ease.

My Findings from Testing the Cosori TurboBlaze 6.0-Quart Smart Air Fryer

After extensive testing, the Cosori TurboBlaze 6.0-Quart Smart Air Fryer proved to be a highly capable, smart kitchen appliance, offering impressive speed, convenience, and versatility. One of the first things to note is its size—while the unit’s tall design gives it a sleek look and larger capacity, it may be a tight fit under lower kitchen cabinets. However, the spacious nonstick basket and crisper plate, both dishwasher-safe, made cleaning remarkably easy—something not commonly found in many smart air fryers.

From a safety standpoint, the TurboBlaze earns high marks. The air fryer automatically shuts off if the basket is removed during cooking or if it detects overheating, adding an essential layer of protection. Smart app control via the VeSync app greatly enhanced the cooking experience, especially when multitasking with other kitchen appliances. Notifications reminding you to turn or toss your food mid-cooking were beneficial.

The nine versatile cooking settings—including Air Fry, Roast, Bake, Broil, Dehydrate, Frozen, Proof, Reheat, and Keep Warm—allowed us to use the TurboBlaze for everything from reheating leftovers to preparing full meals without heating up the oven. We also appreciated the preheat feature, which ensured crispier and faster results.

In side-by-side tests, the Cosori cooked foods, like hand-cut french fries, significantly faster—roughly 5 to 9 minutes quicker than other smart air fryers we've tested. Plus, from a health perspective, the ability to achieve crispy, golden fries using up to 95% less oil than traditional frying was a big win.

Design-wise, despite its larger size and 13-pound weight, the angled control panel made it easy to read and operate during cooking. The 6-quart basket was generous enough to prepare meals for up to four people at once.

For smart home integration, the TurboBlaze works well with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, allowing you to use voice commands to start and stop cooking, check remaining cook time, and monitor temperature. It's important to remember that while you’ll see Fitbit and Apple Health integrations in the VeSync app, those are for other devices and not the air fryer.

Finally, while the TurboBlaze runs efficiently, be aware it vents hot air out the back, so good ventilation is important to keep your kitchen cool during use.

Overall, the Cosori TurboBlaze 6.0-Quart Smart Air Fryer is an excellent choice for larger kitchens or homes with plenty of storage space. It offers fast, healthy cooking with smart control and easy clean-up.

While the unit is tall and a bit heavy at 13 pounds, its dishwasher-safe parts, angled control panel, and fast, even cooking results make it an excellent addition to kitchens with the space to accommodate it. At $129.99, it offers substantial value for serious home cooks who want both convenience and smart functionality.
