Our Verdict

Dash Digital Tasti-Crisp 2.6QT

bella basics 2.2qt

The bella basics 2.2qt is a better air fryer than the Dash Digital Tasti-Crisp 2.6QT. Although the Dash has a slightly larger overall capacity, these small air fryers have nearly the same basket surface area, so their usable capacity is about the same. The bella basics is more powerful and has a higher maximum fan speed, both of which help it produce crispier food. When cooking French fries, for example, it undercooks less of each batch, so you end up with more evenly cooked crispy fries. The bella basics also preheats faster and recovers much faster after you open the drawer to add food.
