The basket is food-grade aluminum with ceramic nonstick coating. FDA-approved for food contact but scored lower than stainless steel or glass.
The cooking bowl is heat-tempered glass -- food-safe at air frying temperatures. Brand uses the term 'heat-tempered glass' rather than borosilicate, which is a slightly different glass formulation.
The crisper plate uses ceramic nonstick coating over aluminum. The generic material description did not match specific evaluation bands.
All cooking accessories are stainless steel -- no coatings that can wear off or release chemicals. The specific stainless grade (304, 316) is not confirmed by the brand.
Cosori markets this as 'PFAS-Free Ceramic Coating' but no independent lab has verified that claim. Ceramic is better than PTFE, but the specific formulation is unknown.
There is no coating on any food-contact surface. The glass bowl and stainless steel rack are bare materials that cannot shed particles or release chemicals during cooking.
Cosori explicitly claims PFAS-free in the product title, which is more transparent than many competitors. But no independent lab has tested or certified the claim.
Fritaire claims PFAS-free, which is consistent with the glass-and-steel design. However, no independent lab has verified this claim -- you are trusting the brand's word, not a third-party test.
Square basket with maximum cooking surface area and optimized airflow for even crisping.
The glass bowl with convection rack allows hot air to circulate around food from all sides -- you can see the cooking process in real time through the transparent bowl.
At 1725 watts with a DC motor, this delivers the fastest preheat and strongest temperature recovery in the category.
At 1300 watts, preheating takes a bit longer and temperature recovery after opening the lid is slower than higher-powered models.
450 degrees F covers every cooking task from gentle dehydrating to high-heat searing.
Reaches 400 degrees, which covers all standard air frying temperatures recommended by the USDA.
Basket and crisper plate both go in the dishwasher.
The glass bowl needs to be hand-washed or run through the self-cleaning cycle. The stainless steel rack and accessories can go in the dishwasher.
Less than 53 dB even on the highest fan speed -- quieter than a normal conversation.
Fritaire does not publish a noise level, and no independent reviewer has measured it. We cannot confirm how loud or quiet this unit runs.
Two-year limited warranty from Cosori, above the industry-standard one year.
The 90-day warranty is notably short for a $200 kitchen appliance. If something fails after three months, the repair or replacement cost is entirely on you.
Under $100 for a 1725W air fryer with DC motor, app integration, and PFAS-free coating claim.
At $199.99, this is a premium-priced air fryer. You are paying primarily for the glass-and-steel construction.
Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.
Go for it if you...
Cooking performance is your top priority -- 1725W and 450F deliver the fastest preheat and highest versatility in this price range.
You want quiet operation -- less than 53 dB even at maximum fan speed.
You are comfortable with Cosori's PFAS-free ceramic coating claim without independent lab verification.
You want smart features -- VeSync app integration with shake reminders and preset cooking programs.
You want the safest possible food-contact materials and are willing to accept unverified electrical safety -- glass and stainless steel are as chemically inert as it gets.
You cook for one to three people and prefer a compact countertop footprint with full visibility into the cooking process.
You value the self-cleaning cycle and are comfortable hand-washing the glass bowl rather than loading it into a dishwasher.
You already own glass cookware and understand how to handle heat-resistant glass safely.
The main thing to know
Despite explicitly claiming 'PFAS-Free Ceramic Coating' in the product title, no independent lab has tested or verified that claim. No ETL or UL safety certification was found on any retailer listing, and the product carries a California Prop 65 warning for Lead and Chromium.
No UL or ETL electrical safety certification means this product has not been independently tested for fire, shock, or overheating -- the most common hazards that have driven multi-million-unit air fryer recalls.
Skip this if you...
You want independently verified PFAS-free coatings -- no lab has tested this product's ceramic coating.
You require ETL or UL safety certification before purchasing countertop appliances.
You want to avoid Prop 65-flagged products -- this unit has warnings for Lead and Chromium.
You prefer uncoated food-contact surfaces like glass or bare stainless steel.
You require verified UL or ETL safety certification before purchasing any countertop appliance that heats to 400 degrees.
You need a warranty longer than 90 days -- most competing air fryers offer one to two years of coverage at this price point.
You want every removable part to go in the dishwasher and do not want to hand-wash a glass bowl after every use.
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
I've reviewed all Air Fryer options at every price pointEvery Air Fryer in our database is scored using R3's deterministic scoring system - the same inputs always produce the same score. For this comparison, we evaluated Cosori and Fritaire across 3 independent criteria: Safety (90%), Efficacy (7%), Usability (3%). No sponsored rankings. No paid placements.
Straight answers - no sponsored content, no filler.
The Cosori 9-in-1 TurboBlaze Air Fryer 6 Qt uses a food-grade-aluminum basket with a food-grade-aluminum crisper plate. PTFE-coated nonstick may contain trace PFAS compounds, which is reflected in its 5.2/10 safety score in our scoring system. For a PFAS-free alternative, look for models with stainless steel or borosilicate glass baskets.
Between these two, the Fritaire Non Toxic Air Fryer Pro, 9-in-1 Glass Air Fryer, Self-Cleaning (borosilicate glass basket, 7.7/10 safety) uses materials I'm more comfortable with at high heat. The Cosori 9-in-1 TurboBlaze Air Fryer 6 Qt's food-grade-aluminum basket scored 5.2/10. In our scoring system, basket material accounts for a significant portion of the safety pillar, which is our highest-weighted scoring factor.
For families, capacity comes first: check the capacity specs for your family size. Overall, I'd lean toward Fritaire for most families.
304 stainless steel is inherently PFAS-free and won't off-gas at any cooking temperature. Nonstick coatings (PTFE/Teflon) are stable below 400°F but can begin degrading above that threshold. In our scoring system, stainless and borosilicate glass baskets consistently score higher on the safety pillar. That said, a well-maintained nonstick basket from a reputable brand still meets safety baselines - it's a question of margin, not danger.
