Our Verdict

T-fal Easy Fry XL

Black+Decker ID1901-1BDC

The T-fal Easy Fry XL is a better air fryer than the Black+Decker ID1901-1BDC. It makes good-quality fried food, while the Black+Decker struggles to make even a small portion of each batch crispy. Even though the T-fal preheats more slowly and takes an extremely long time to heat back up after you open the drawer to add food, the Black+Decker still takes longer to cook. The T-fal also maintains a more stable temperature while cooking, which makes it easier to follow recipes.
