Are you curious about all the other air fryers we tested out? Regardless of how much food I cooked, the Purifry black decker air fryer nailed the end result. French fries were quite crispy on the outside yet soft and creamy on the inside.
You can, however, cook more food than recommended in the Purifry. For example, I increased my test amount to 23 ounces, the typical amount you can fit on one baking sheet. Chicken wings cooked in the Purifry turned out especially well. The basket and pan sit in a chamber on the bottom half of the Purifry.
The Purifry will fire up its heating element and convection fan. Unlike other air fryers like the DeLonghi Multifry, you have to preheat the Purifry before you insert your food. It can take as many as four minutes for the Purifry to preheat to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. A green preheat light on the front of the fryer glows when it’s actively heating up. The included air fry basket, bake/broil rack, bake pan and rotisserie spit fit perfectly, making it easy to insert and remove food.
When you’re all done, the nonstick interiors make cleanup easy for our air fryer toaster ovens. Its comparatively small size means it can’t handle much food at once. The appliance also lacks a motorized stirring arm, which means you can’t set it and forget it like other air fryers.
The BLACK+DECKER® Purifry 2-Liter Air Fryer cuts out the oil to give you crispy food without the added fat. A pair of powerful convection fans surrounds black decker toaster oven food with heated air to cook all of your favorite fried delights quickly and evenly. Choose the air fryer’s cooking temperature with this dial.
The egg-shaped Purifry is constructed from steel and plastic. Its black-and-silver color scheme (it also comes in white) easily blends in with contemporary kitchen decors. The black decker toasters entire apparatus is the size of a small coffee maker or standard electric juicer, and it’s taller than it is wide. As a result, it shouldn’t eat up that much counter space.

Just for fun, and because it’s in the manual, I dropped a 7-ounce burger patty inside the Purifry. Nineteen minutes later, I was treated to a surprisingly flavorful piece of meat. Tender and juicy, I never expected to enjoy a burger this much from an air fryer. The Purifry is not ideal for big groups or large families.
