Quick answer: The Cosori TurboBlaze 6.0-Quart Air Fryer is model CAF-DC601-KUS, listed at $119.99 on Cosori’s own store. It holds 6 qt / 5.7 L (“serves 3–5 people”), draws 1,725W on AC 120V, cooks from 90°–450°F on a timer that runs 1 minute to 24 hours, and weighs 13.2 lb. Its nine presets each run at a fixed fan speed you cannot change — Air Fry, Roast, Broil and Frozen at speed 5, Dehydrate and Proof at speed 1. In the box: fryer, crisper plate, manual, recipe book. No rack, no liners. Warranty is two years from Arovast. Cosori sells two near-twins beside it: the $129.99 TurboBlaze Smart (CAF-DC601-AUS, 6.5 qt), whose summary block is the only one of the three to advertise “100+ App Recipes,” and the $99.99 Pro LE (CAF-L501-KUS, 5 qt, 1500W), whose timer tops out at 60 minutes against this one’s 24 hours.
This is not a mystery product. Amazon’s listing carries 4.8 out of 5 stars from 21,824 ratings, an Amazon’s Choice badge, “30K+ bought in past month,” and the #1 spot in Air Fryers. Amazon’s detail table lists “Manufacture Year 2024.” So the question is not whether it works. It is which of three near-identical Cosori fryers belongs in your cart, and whether it fits your counter.
Everything below is quoted from Cosori’s spec pages, its 24-page US manual for this model, and Amazon’s detail page for B0C33CHG99. Nobody here has cooked with this fryer, so there is no crispiness verdict. What there is: the preset chart Cosori buries on page 14 of the manual, the clearance number that decides whether it fits under your cabinets, and a list of what Cosori does not publish.
The spec sheet, as Cosori and Amazon publish it
- Model: CAF-DC601-KUS. Amazon’s detail table lists “Model Number CAF-DC601-KUS” for ASIN B0C33CHG99, so the listing and the manual describe the same unit. UPC 810123670376.
- Price: $119.99, Cosori’s own regular price. Amazon’s price moves; check the live listing.
- Capacity: 6 qt / 5.7 L, which Cosori rates as serving 3–5 people.
- Power: Rated Power 1,725W, Power Supply AC 120V, 60Hz. Amazon’s table agrees: “Wattage 1725 watts”, “Voltage 120 volts”.
- Temperature range: 90°–450°F / 30°–230°C.
- Time range: 1 min–24 hr.
- Dimensions: 11.8 x 14.4 x 11.9 in including the handle; 11.8 x 11.8 x 11.9 in without it.
- Weight: 13.2 lb / 6 kg.
- Usable basket space: not on cosori.com and not in the manual — this one comes from Amazon’s A+ block, which gives 9.31″D x 9.31″W x 3.48″H with the crisper plate in, 9.31″ x 9.31″ x 4.49″ without it, and puts a number on it: “20 pcs of chicken wings”.
- In the box: 1 air fryer, 1 crisper plate, 1 user manual, 1 recipe book. Amazon’s “Included Components” field adds a Quick Reference Guide. Neither list includes a rack, liners, or a spare basket.
- Warranty: Two years, from Arovast Corporation. Amazon’s table says “2 Year Manufacturer”. Cosori’s own store also lists a “30-Day Money Back Guarantee”.
One inconsistency worth naming: Amazon’s A+ description lists “Power Supply: DC 120V, 60Hz,” while Cosori’s spec page and page 3 of the manual both say AC 120V, 60Hz. Cosori never reconciles the two. Follow the manual: it says this fryer “uses a DC motor,” and its troubleshooting page says a 220–240V outlet throws error code E04 and to “only use the air fryer with 120V, 60Hz outlets.”
What the nine presets actually do
The most useful page Cosori publishes is the Cooking Chart on page 14 of the manual, and it is not on the Amazon listing. Here it is, as printed.
| Function | Default temp | Default time | Temperature range | Time range | Fan speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Air Fry (Turbo) | 385°F / 195°C | 10 min | 300°–450°F | 1–60 min | 5 |
| Roast (Turbo) | 425°F / 220°C | 12 min | 350°–450°F | 1–60 min | 5 |
| Broil (Turbo) | 450°F / 230°C | 5 min | 425°–450°F | 1–30 min | 5 |
| Frozen (Turbo) | 390°F / 200°C | 14 min | 300°–450°F | 1–30 min | 5 |
| Reheat | 390°F / 200°C | 5 min | 300°–425°F | 1–60 min | 4 |
| Bake | 330°F / 165°C | 20 min | 260°–400°F | 1–60 min | 3 |
| Dehydrate (“DRY”) | 135°F / 55°C | 6 hr | 100°–200°F | 1–24 hr | 1 |
| Proof | 90°F / 30°C | 1 hr | 90°–110°F | 1–12 hr | 1 |
| Keep Warm (“WARM”) | 170°F / 75°C | 30 min | — | 1–60 min | 2 |
| Preheat | 400°F / 205°C | 4 min (auto adjust) | 170°–450°F | — | 4 |
Read down the fan-speed column and the product makes sense. Cosori groups Air Fry, Roast, Broil and Frozen as “Turbo Modes” — the manual says they “quickly cook food using the highest fan speed (5)” — while Dehydrate and Proof drop to speed 1. That variable fan is the whole argument for the DC motor, which Cosori’s FAQ calls “our first air fryer to use DC motor technology.” Its speed claim is footnoted: “up to 46% faster* compared to other air fryers with AC motors,” where the asterisk reads “Compared to COSORI’s CP168 (or Pro Gen 2) air fryer.” Cosori against an older Cosori, not an independent test.
Three operating limits the listing does not mention. First: “Fan speed cannot be customized.” Time and temperature are adjustable on every function; you save a change by holding that function’s button for three seconds until it beeps, and a 15-second press-and-hold is the manual’s instruction “to reset all cooking functions” (it prints that button as an icon, so the PDF never names it). Second: Preheat auto-adjusts its own clock — 4 minutes for 345°–450°F, 3 minutes for 240°–340°F, 2 minutes for 170°–235°F. Third: pulling the basket out mid-cook pauses the machine, then “the air fryer will automatically resume cooking based on your previous settings” when you slide it back. Leave it idle 30 minutes and it clears all settings and shuts off.
Will it fit? Do this arithmetic before you buy
What sinks air fryer purchases is not the footprint on the box. It is the clearance. Page 10 of the manual: “Leave 5 inches / 13 cm of space behind and above the air fryer.” Amazon’s listing repeats it. Add that to the published dimensions:
- Vertical: 11.9 in of fryer + 5 in above = 16.9 in of clear height. Measure the gap under your wall cabinet first; no listing does this sum for you.
- Depth: 14.4 in with the handle + 5 in behind = 19.4 in from the wall, plus “enough room in front of the air fryer to remove the basket.”
- Width: 11.8 in. Amazon labels the axes “14.4”D x 11.8″W x 11.9″H”, so the handle adds to depth, not width.
Inside, the basket is a 9.31-inch square, 3.48 inches deep with the crisper plate seated — the real ceiling on how much you cook at once. The manual is blunt about ignoring it: “Do not overfill the air fryer basket. Heaping amounts of food may touch the heating coils and cause a fire hazard.” Page 15 caps oil at “no more than 2 US tbsp / 30 mL.”
One detail nobody lists: cord length. Not on the product page, not in 24 pages of manual. Cosori says only that “a short power-supply cord is provided,” that an extension cord’s “marked electrical rating … should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the air fryer” — at 1,725W, not a lamp cord — and “never use an outlet below the counter.”
TurboBlaze vs. TurboBlaze Smart vs. Pro LE
Cosori sells two fryers under almost the same name, and this one is the cheaper. The comparison, built entirely from the three Cosori spec pages:
| TurboBlaze 6.0-Quart | TurboBlaze Smart | Pro LE 5.0-Quart | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Model number | CAF-DC601-KUS | CAF-DC601-AUS | CAF-L501-KUS |
| Cosori price | $119.99 | $129.99 | $99.99 |
| Capacity | 6 qt / 5.7 L (serves 3–5) | 6.5 qt / 6.2 L (serves 3–5) | 5 qt |
| Rated power | 1,725W | 1,725W | 1500W |
| Time range | 1 min–24 hr | Not listed on the page | 1–60 min |
| Dimensions (in) | 11.8 x 14.4 x 11.9 (with handle) | 14.8 x 11.8 x 11.6 (with handle) | 10.7 x 10.8 x 11.9 (handle not specified) |
| Weight | 13.2 lb / 6 kg | 14.1 lb / 6.4 kg | 10 lb / 4.54 kg |
| App line in Cosori’s summary | None | “100+ App Recipes” | No summary block on the page |
| Cooking functions listed | 9 | 9 | None published |
| Noise figure published by Cosori | None | None | “as low as 55dB” (Air Whisper Technology®) |
| Warranty | 2-year limited | 2-year limited | 2-year limited |
No temperature row: Cosori’s Pro LE page prints two values in one field — “90°–450°F / 30°–230°C (Turbo Blaze Air Fryer) 77°–410°F / 25°–210°C (Pressure Cooker)” — so we left it out rather than pick one.
The $10 step from the TurboBlaze to the TurboBlaze Smart buys half a quart, 0.9 lb of extra weight, and one summary line Cosori prints on neither of the other two pages: “100+ App Recipes: Includes nutrition facts and daily intake tracking.” It is also the easier mistake to make. Neither page title contains the word “Smart” — they read “TurboBlaze™ 6.0-Quart Air Fryer – Dark Gray” and “TurboBlaze™ 6.0-Quart Air Fryer – Light Gray” — and the Smart page’s own summary block says “6-Qt Capacity” while its spec table says 6.5 qt / 6.2 L. Buy by name and you can pay $129.99 for the SKU you did not want; check for CAF-DC601-AUS versus CAF-DC601-KUS at checkout. Both list the same box contents.
The Pro LE is the genuinely different one: 1500W, 5 qt, 3.2 lb lighter, $20 cheaper — and Cosori still rates its basket at “the perfect size for feeding 3–5 people,” the same claim it makes for the 6-quart. Its 10.7 x 10.8 x 11.9 in reads smaller than the TurboBlaze’s 11.8 x 11.8 x 11.9 in, but Cosori labels that field only “Dimensions” and never says whether the handle is inside the number, so take it as rough. The clean comparison is the timer: 1–60 min on the Pro LE against 1 min–24 hr here. What the Pro LE can actually cook, Cosori does not say — that page carries a spec table and no function list at all.
The honest part: what Cosori does not publish
- Noise. No decibel figure on Cosori’s TurboBlaze page or anywhere in the 24-page manual. The widely repeated “less than 53dB even on the highest fan speed” is an Amazon listing bullet, not a Cosori spec — and Cosori does publish a dB figure for the cheaper Pro LE.
- Airflow. Same story for “a powerful 3600 rpm fan speed” — Amazon bullets only. No rpm and no CFM figure on cosori.com or in the manual.
- Cord length and amperage draw. Neither is published. Cosori gives you 1,725W and AC 120V, 60Hz and stops.
- Independent testing. None. The only lab reference anywhere is the listing footnote “*Fat content analyzed by SGS lab,” which covers the 95%-less-oil claim and nothing else.
- Coating life. The basket and crisper plate are “PFAS-free ceramic-coated” per Cosori, “made of aluminum metal with nonstick coating” per the manual, which says to avoid metal utensils and abrasive cleaners. How long the coating lasts, nobody publishes.
- Accessory compatibility. Cosori does not say whether this basket interchanges with older Cosori models, and the manual’s rule is “Do not use third-party replacement parts or accessories, as this may cause injuries.” First-party spares are listed: replacement basket CRP-DC601RB-KUS (ASIN B0D1B865ZB) and crisper tray CRP-DC601RC-KUS.
- Prop 65. Cosori’s page carries California’s lead warning: “This product can expose you to chemicals including Lead which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.”
What to buy today
Cosori TurboBlaze 6.0-Quart, CAF-DC601-KUS — $119.99 at Cosori
The default pick. The 1,725W DC-motor platform, all nine presets, the 1 minute–24 hour timer that makes Dehydrate real, and a dishwasher-safe basket and crisper plate, for $10 less than the Smart. Skip it only if you want the 6.5-quart Smart and its recipe app, or if 16.9 inches of vertical clearance is more than your counter has.
Cosori TurboBlaze Smart 6.5-Quart, CAF-DC601-AUS — $129.99 at Cosori
Same 1,725W rating, half a quart more basket, 14.1 lb instead of 13.2, and the “100+ App Recipes: Includes nutrition facts and daily intake tracking” line that only this page carries. Worth $10 if you will cook from the app’s recipes; otherwise it is $10 for 0.5 qt. No verified Amazon ASIN for this SKU, so: TurboBlaze 6.0-Quart Smart Air Fryer on cosori.com.
Cosori Pro LE 5.0-Quart, CAF-L501-KUS — $99.99 at Cosori
The small-kitchen answer: 10.7 x 10.8 x 11.9 in, 10 lb, 1500W, $20 cheaper, and the only one of the three with a Cosori-published noise figure (“noise levels as low as 55dB”). The trade is a 60-minute timer ceiling and a product page that publishes no cooking functions at all, so you are buying on specs alone. Again, no verified ASIN, so: Cosori Pro LE 5.0-Quart Air Fryer on cosori.com.
The verdict
The TurboBlaze CAF-DC601-KUS is the one to buy out of Cosori’s three, and the reason is the timer, not the fan. A 1 minute–24 hour range plus a 100°–200°F Dehydrate mode at fan speed 1 means Cosori publishes the settings for a 6-hour jerky run on this $119.99 model, and this is the only one of the three whose page lists a 24-hour time range at all — $10 under the app-recipe version. Weigh three things against it: the basket is a 9.31-inch square, 3.48 inches deep, so this is a 3–5 person machine, not a sheet-pan replacement; it needs 16.9 inches of clear height under a cabinet; and Cosori publishes no noise figure for it while publishing one for its cheaper sibling. The spec sheet tells you that before delivery, not after.
FAQ
Does the Cosori TurboBlaze have an app?
Cosori publishes no connectivity spec for any of the three, so what an app can or cannot control is not something we can tell you. What is published: this model’s manual says to “download the free VeSync app to access original recipes and video tutorials,” and the $129.99 CAF-DC601-AUS (6.5 qt / 6.2 L) is the only one whose summary block adds “100+ App Recipes.” Neither page title says “Smart” — they differ by “Dark Gray” and “Light Gray” — so match the model number, not the name.
How loud is the Cosori TurboBlaze?
Cosori does not say. There is no decibel figure on its TurboBlaze page or in the 24-page manual. The Amazon listing bullets claim it operates “at less than 53dB even on the highest fan speed” — a retailer-listing claim, not a published Cosori spec. Cosori does print a figure for the Pro LE: “noise levels as low as 55dB.”
Can I change the fan speed?
No. The manual says flatly, “Fan speed cannot be customized,” and Cosori’s page repeats that the five speeds “correspond with the 9 cooking functions … (not customizable).” Time and temperature are adjustable on every function; hold that function’s button 3 seconds to save a change.
Can it really dehydrate, or is that marketing?
Real mode, published settings: Dehydrate (“DRY”) defaults to 135°F / 55°C for 6 hours, adjusts from 100°–200°F over 1–24 hours, and runs at fan speed 1. Cosori suggests apple chips, beef jerky, banana chips and dog treats. Mind the basket ceiling: one 9.31-inch square layer, no stacking trays included.
What is the warranty, and does where I buy it matter?
Two years: “Arovast warrants that the product shall be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of 2 years from the date of original purchase.” The catch is on the same page — “This limited warranty does not extend to products purchased from unauthorized dealers or sellers” — so on a marketplace listing, check the seller first. Registration is offered but “not required to claim your limited warranty.”
Pricing note: $119.99, $129.99 and $99.99 are Cosori’s published regular prices, read from cosori.com on September 18, 2026. Amazon’s price moves independently, so treat the listing as the live number.
