Our Verdict

Proctor Silex 2.2 quart 35055

bella basics 2.2qt

If you're shopping for a 2-quart air fryer, the bella basics 2.2qt is a better bet than the Proctor Silex 2.2 quart 35055. Although they offer the same amount of capacity, the Proctor Silex's design is taller and narrower, while the bella basics has a shorter, wider basket. The bella basics' wider basket gives you more space to arrange food in a single layer, allowing for better airflow. Combined with its higher maximum fan speed, this helps produce crispier, more evenly cooked results. When cooking French fries, for example, the bella basics leaves less of each batch under- and overcooked. It also finishes cooking significantly faster, making it a better choice for quick snacks.
