Our Verdict

Ninja Pro AF141

Black+Decker 2qt ID1901-1BDC

The Ninja Pro AF141 is a significantly better air fryer than the Black+Decker 2qt ID1901-1BDC. Most importantly, it makes much better-quality air-fried food, cooking most of each batch to a crispy golden brown, while the Black+Decker leaves more than half undercooked and mushy. The Ninja also finishes cooking in less than half the time as the Black+Decker and maintains a more stable temperature throughout, making it easier to follow recipes. Finally, the Ninja offers additional versatility with a wider range of temperatures and fan speeds, as well as a handful of alternate cooking methods like 'Roast' and 'Dehydrate.'
