Let’s take a closer look at the top features and then unbox this unit together.
Key Features of the Farberware HF-919B
Simple Manual Controls
Setting this unit couldn’t be easier! Just turn the dial to select the temperature from 175-400F in 25 degree increments, and then select the cooking time from 1-30 minutes!
Printed Cooking Guide
There is a handy cooking guide printed right on the side of the unit! You won’t have to scramble for the manual when cooking your favorites, just peek at the guide and you are on your way.
Medium Capacity
At 3.2 quarts, this little fryer can hold up to two pounds of food! This is enough space for several chicken breasts, enough fries or onion rings for two, a mini quiche or a small frozen pizza. This is the perfect size for a small household of 1 to 2 people.
Simple, Modern Design
This basic unit has a simple design that is functional and will look good in any kitchen. The exterior is an easy-to-clean black plastic that will look modern for years to come.
Auto Shut Off
Never worry that your food will over cook! Once the timer completes, the unit turns itself off for you!

What Customers Are Saying
The reviews for this fryer are very positive! Most users are first-time air fryer users, and this unit has gotten them hooked! Many reviewers say they use it multiple times a week, and use it in place of their oven or stove top. Several reviewers have small kitchens and say this fryer is worth the loss of counter space. Most users think the unit was well worth the cost.
A few wrote that it is too small for them, since they have to batch cook if making more than one dish or trying to make a full meal for two. Some users have had problems with their unit not coming with an instruction manual. A few report that after several months of daily use the non-stick coating on the basket and pan began to wear away. If you use your unit frequently you may have to replace these parts.
