A stainless steel Cosori with app and voice control, a 6.5-quart basket and the same wide 90 to 450°F range. The pick for a smart kitchen.

How it tested

We ran the same battery of tests we use on every air fryer, from frozen chips to fresh wings and roast veg. Here is how it scored on each.

Crispiness — 8.7

Crisping was excellent, close to the TurboBlaze, with the app making it easy to dial in exact times and temperatures.

Crispy food fresh from the air fryer

Evenness — 8.6

Even colour across full baskets, helped by the strong fan.

Ease of use & cleanup — 8.8

The app is the draw here, sending recipes straight to the fryer and letting you start and check it from your phone. The basket cleans easily.

Noise — 8.2

Quiet and smooth, similar to the other TurboBlaze-era Cosoris.

Design & build

The best looking of the range, in brushed stainless steel. It feels premium and suits an open-plan kitchen.

Our verdict

The Iconic takes the strong Cosori formula and wraps it in stainless steel with proper smart features. For a connected kitchen it is the natural choice.

You pay a premium for the app and the finish. If you just want great chips for less, the standard TurboBlaze does the core job for a lower price.

How it compares

It matches the TurboBlaze on crisping and adds app control and a metal shell. The plain TurboBlaze saves money if you do not need the smart side.

Frequently asked

Does it need the app to work?

No. You can run it fully from the panel and use the app when you want it.

Is it really stainless steel?

Yes. The body has a brushed stainless finish.

AirFryer Ovens test kitchen · Bought at retail, never supplied by the brand

Every oven runs the same five stages: preheat timing, a frozen chip crispiness run, a full tray evenness test, a full load cook, then noise, energy and cleanup. Scores carry the same weighting on every model, so commission never moves a ranking.
