We bought the Farberware Digital Air Fryer in Black. We use it on a daily basis to create healthier French Fries. We love it so much, it is sturdy, easy to use, easy to clean, and really well priced! I would highly recommend the Farberware Digital Air Fryer over other pricey brands! It does the job (really well) Its an overall 10/10 for me! walmart.com
