Our Verdict
Dash Compact
Black+Decker ID1901-1BDC
The Dash Compact is a better air fryer than the Black+Decker ID1901-1BDC. While the Dash struggles to produce crispy air-fried foods, it still outperforms the Black+Decker, which leaves more than half of each batch undercooked. Similarly, the Black+Decker works even slower than the Dash, which is by no means a fast air fryer. Neither option is particularly versatile, but the Dash offers a slightly wider temperature range, and its single fan speed is higher than that of the Black+Decker, which helps it cook a bit faster.
