No electronics to fail, fast to temperature, quick temperature recovery, and plenty of room for food. Cleaning the oil helps make the oil last longer than traditional units.
Terrible, oil leaking from the top of the container, you’ll spent a lot of money in oil only to find it’s not a real deep fryer the basket sits higher than expected. Then you have a shirt cable, a single light that turn off when it get to temperature… this is a n accident waiting to happen! Soooo disappointing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Cheaply tack-welded basket holder fell off just outside warranty

The fryer worked very well. However, after maybe a dozen uses, the little piece of metal tack-welded on the tub to hold the basket while oil drained from it, just fell off. I've never fried anything heavy, just french fries, onion rings, chicken tenders, etc. Two little dots, that's all the manufacturer decided was necessary to tack on that piece of metal, no screws going through or permanent weld.
Outstanding EZ Clean Fryer! We needed a new counter top fryer so we knew we had to go with whatever Americas Test Kitchen recommended. They NEVER let us down.
We have only had this item for a short time, but we love how it works. It is pretty cool to filter the oil from the debris left from the breading and cooking. Great deep fryer
