Three COSORI air fryers share the same stacked design: the Compact, the 10.8L and the Pro Smart. All three stack two cooking zones vertically, so you get dual-basket cooking without the width of a side-by-side air fryer. They are built for different jobs rather than as three versions of one product - the Compact for kitchens short on worktop, the 10.8L for bigger households, and the Pro Smart for people who want app control. Here is how to pick.
The short answer
Choose the Compact (£169.99) if worktop space is tight and you cook for a small household.
Choose the 10.8L (£239.99) if you cook for a larger household or host regularly, and want 10.8L of capacity without paying for Wi-Fi features.
Choose the Pro Smart (£299.99) if you want the Turbo Tower with Wi-Fi control through the VeSync app and ceramic-coated food-contact surfaces.

COSORI Turbo Tower Compact: best for small kitchens
The Compact is the narrowest of the three at 27.5cm wide, and it needs 39% less counter space than traditional side-by-side dual-basket air fryers like the COSORI Twinfry 10L Air Fryer. Each of its two 4.3L baskets has independent top heating and its own DC motor, so both zones cook on their own.
Each basket holds 12 chicken wings or 900g of frozen chips - enough for a main and a side for a small household, and the Compact costs £169.99.
Consider another model if: you regularly cook for a larger household, want the Proof function, or want app control.
COSORI Turbo Tower 10.8L: best for bigger households
The Standard's 10.8L stacked design suits larger households and weekend hosting, letting you cook a complete meal with protein, carbs and vegetables at once. A DC motor with variable fan speeds drives the cooking, and the Proof function makes it the choice for anyone who wants to prove dough at home. The free VeSync app gives you 50+ chef-created recipes, but you can't control cooking settings from your phone.
Consider another model if: worktop space is very limited (it's 30cm wide and 40.5cm tall), or you want Wi-Fi control.
COSORI Turbo Tower Pro Smart: best for smart features
The Pro Smart shares the Standard's 10.8L capacity and stacked design, and adds:
- Wi-Fi control of settings, recipes and meal monitoring through the VeSync app (the appliance has to be switched on manually, and Alexa isn't supported)
- Ceramic-coated food-contact surfaces
- Dual heating elements in the lower basket
- A 5-speed fan matched to each cooking function
- Both the Dry and Proof functions
Consider another model if: you don't need these features, in which case the Standard gives you the same capacity for £60 less.
Not sure? Answer three questions
-
1
How big is your household? A small household: the Compact is enough. A larger household, or you host often: choose the Standard or Pro Smart.
-
2
How much worktop do you have? If space is the limiting factor, the Compact is both the narrowest and the shortest.
-
3
Do you want app control? If yes, the Pro Smart is the only Turbo Tower with Wi-Fi control. If not, the Standard offers the same 10.8L capacity as the Pro Smart at a lower price (£239.99 vs £299.99).
Need Proof or Dry? Proof is on the Standard and Pro Smart, and Dry is on the Compact and Pro Smart.
If you're not sure a dual-basket format is right for you at all, our dual vs single basket air fryer guide compares it with single-basket and convertible options.
FAQ
What's the difference between the Turbo Tower Standard and Pro Smart?

The Compact is narrower and shorter, holds 8.6L rather than 10.8L, and costs £70 less. The Standard has more capacity and a Proof function; the Compact has a Dry function.
Which Turbo Tower suits a larger family?
The Standard and Pro Smart offer 10.8L of capacity, compared with 8.6L on the Compact, so they give you more room for batch cooking and a complete meal at once.
Can I cook two different foods at the same time?
