I must say that I have used this appliance only two or three times. For the most part, it performed as I expected. It is rather compact, light-weight and reaches the desired temperature in a reasonable amount of time. We have had to go through the "reset" procedure each time we have used it and found that to be a tad annoying. Maybe it is something that we are doing wrong and will be more attentive in the future when using the appliance. We have several Cuisinart appliances and none are "quirky" like this one.

I decided to replace our Fry Daddy with this Cuisinart fryer because I wanted to be able to control the oil temperature. It works great and I would give a 5 rating except for two things. It takes longer to come to temperature than I had expected; so I would suggest starting your fryer a bit earlier than you might have thought. Also, it takes a full gallon of oil to fill, so that can get a bit pricey.

So this fryer actually performs quite well. It heats quickly. The fryer also is pretty easy to clean. The problem comes in when you have to replace the oil for one it takes quite a bit of oil and two the oil seems to dirty very quickly. That could be what I fry so I'm not knocking off stars for that what I am knocking off is how quick it uses oil as well as the material quality and how the cord constantly comes unplugged.
I would recommend this to a friend!

My neighbor gave this to me for the holiday because he wants to eat all this high fat fried food. The fryer works as expected, but makes a much bigger mess than anticipated and is difficult to clean. Pouring the oil out and cleaning it after every use is a big chore!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I like the fryer and have used it several times. This was a upgrade for us as we had a smaller one for several years, which up passed on to a grandson. One of the features that attracted me about this fryer was the timer. The first unit I received had a faulty timer. (when set to less than 5 min. I would run for 2 min. and stop, no chime) It was exchanged. Same problem with the new unit. Good fryer forget the timer.
