Our Verdict

Black+Decker 2qt ID1901-1BDC

bella basics 2.2qt

If you're looking for a compact air fryer, the bella basics 2.2qt is a better choice than the Black+Decker 2qt ID1901-1BDC. Although they have a similar overall capacity, the bella basics has more surface area in its basket, which allows you to spread food out for better results. It's also more powerful, and it has a higher maximum fan speed, both of which help produce crispier snacks. While the Black+Decker leaves less than a quarter of each batch evenly cooked, the bella basics cooks more than half of each batch to a crispy, golden brown, and it does so much faster.
