Is the Brentwood AF-400DBK worth it?

At $71.99 at Best Buy as of November 7, 2026, it is a low-cost way to try air frying. It suits small batches, not family meals.

How much food fits in the basket?

It is a compact unit, so plan on one or two servings per batch. Larger batches need a bigger fryer.

It tops out at 400°F with a 1400-watt heating element. That is enough for frozen fries, chicken wings and vegetables.

Yes. It has a mechanical timer and shuts off automatically when the timer ends.

The bowl is removable and nonstick, which makes hand washing easy. Check the manual before putting it in a dishwasher.
