This is an excellent deep fryer; it heats up quickly and the food comes out crispy. However, I would like a longer magnetic power cord, and I hope it will be added to the accessories so I can purchase it.
I have owned several fryers over the years. I am so excited to Finally have one that is self cleaning. We used it this morning to make breakfast potatoes. The potatoes were cooked evenly and the taste is so good. Thank you T-Fal! They offer pay in 4!!!
Had issues from the beginning and t-fal wouldn't address any of them. Parts missing and they wouldn't replace them or even sell me the missing parts, just kept referring me back to the store where I bought it. The oil keeps leaking all over the counter even when not in use.
I have owned this fryer for a few years now and have been impressed with the performance. I worked as a chef for some years and while it cannot compare to a gas fired commercial fryer, I get raves for my fresh cut fries, fish and chips, onion rings, and plenty more.
I like the automatic oil filtration feature even though it doesn't do quite a good a job as using a paper filter. One quibble I have is that a couple of ounces of oil are always left in the bottom, it doesn't fully drain.
A word to the wise. While you can get great results with fried chicken, resist the temptation to make it until the oil is near end of life. Few things will spoil your oil faster. I like to make a big batch just before I change the oil and either freeze some of it or host a dinner party.
My boyfriend is more canola with deep fryers. He fried some catfish he brought, it turned out very good. He thinks it a good fryer. We drained the oiler into the collection container later at night.
