Dash 2.6-Quart Air Fryer Review

Dash DCAF200GB is an air fryer with 2.6-quart basket. Basket size is adequate to cook for 1 person or smaller servings for 2.

Cooking

Dash DCAF200GB cooks reasonably well but not as well as higher-end air fryers. Food comes out tasting good most of the time however it’s not as crispy or quite as tasty as with really proper air fryer.

Dash DCAF200GB can also struggle to cook larger items and they can take a lot longer than usual.

Controls

Controls are as simple as it gets. You get two dials – one for temperature and one for time. The flaw of this is that mechanical dials are not as accurate as digital ones so you won’t be able to set temperature and time accurately but somewhere in the ball park instead.

There are a significant flaw with the controls though. The numbers on dials fade away over time and eventually might become invisible. That could make cooking quite hard.

Colors

Dash DCAF200GB is made in 5 color schemes: Aqua (Dash DCAF200GBAQ02), Teal (Dash DCAF200GBTL02), Black (Dash DCAF200GBBK02), Cool Grey (Dash DCAF200GBGY02), White (Dash DCAF200GBWH02), Red (Dash DCAF200GBRD02).

Verdict

Dash DCAF200GB isn’t a great air fryer but at this price no one expects it to be. It cooks reasonably well and is simple to use but there’s a lot of room for improvement. If you need something compact and inexpensive this might do the job well enough but have realistic expectations.
