Who each one suits
- Ninja Air Fryer MAX PRO 6.2 L: if you want the largest drawer and the most power of the three (6.2 L, 2,000 W). Ninja lists six functions, including Max Crisp and Dehydrate. Its 2-year guarantee applies on registration with Ninja.
- COSORI TurboBlaze 6 L: if you want the widest temperature range here. COSORI’s manual gives 30–230 °C, and its product page names ten functions, including Proof, Dehydrate and Keep Warm. It is the lightest of the three at 5.2 kg and has a 2-year warranty.
- Amazon Basics 6 L: the budget benchmark. It matches the COSORI’s 6 L capacity at the lowest power here (1,400 W) and lists eight presets and a dehydrate setting. No warranty length is stated on its listing.
Key differences
- Capacity: Ninja 6.2 L; COSORI and Amazon Basics 6 L each.
- Power: Ninja 2,000 W, COSORI 1,725 W, Amazon Basics 1,400 W.
- Footprint: the Ninja is the most compact (280 × 360 mm). The Amazon Basics is the largest (313 × 410 mm) and tallest (342 mm).
- Weight: COSORI 5.2 kg, Amazon Basics 5.34 kg, Ninja 5.8 kg.
- Warranty: Ninja (on registration) and COSORI give 2 years. Amazon Basics does not state a warranty length.
- Gaps: Ninja does not state a temperature range, maximum timer or coating type. COSORI and Amazon Basics give different timer limits for different programmes, and Amazon Basics gives separate temperature ranges for dehydrating and other cooking, so those cells are blank rather than reduced to one figure.
