Good idea--marginal execution--questionable value

Purchased this fryer approx. 6 months ago, Does not heat the oil to the mamamun tempature indicated on the dial. Falls about 35 degrees F short and not adjustable.
Attempted several times to place a parts order for additional oil tank and the website will not except nor process my order. I sincerely doubt this this appliance will have a long and happy life.

Great Fryer

I purchased this 2 years ago. It frys food great but the EZ Clean features needs work. After filtrating the oil a few times the drain gets clogged. It will drain slow or not at all. Even wil I dump the oil and wash the the oil pan out the push button feature that allows the oil to drain is clogged. There is no way to remove it to clean the filter out. If you can make that part removable this product would get 5 stars from me.

Great fryer and so easy to clean!

We have had this for 6 months and do alot of fish frys! Beware that there is a smaller fryer that is easily mistaken for this. Is is incredibly easy to wash in dishwasher but does take the whole dishwasher. Also do not store oil pan on end as directions say or you will be sorry. Other than that the fryer is amazing. Highly recommend. Has not caused any tripping of our circuit either.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So easy to use - time and money saver

I love my deep fryer. I have had mine for 3 years now and have had no issues with it. I have even accidentally turned it on without oil in it a couple times and was surprised I didn't mess up the heating element but it has continued on faithfully.
My favorite feature is how it automatically drains and filters the oil so you can re-use the oil 5-10 times. It’s a big cost savings and a total game changer. This is what I hated about fryers I had in the past. It was messy and a pain to drain the oil but expensive to change it every time. Plus then the oil would go rancid because It was hard to clean the bits of food from it. The TFal fryer does all of that automatically by just turning a dial and has a covered container that fits in the bottom of the fryer that stores the oil until you're ready to use it again.
Then every part of it except the heating element is disheasher safe so you can just throw it all in the dishwasher for easy cleanup. My deep fryer and my Instant Pot are the two appliances I absolutely could not live without. I use them so often! They are my favorite things that I've ever gotten for my kitchen.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great concept, poor quality

Had I reviewed this product shortly after purchasing it I probably would have given it 5 stars, however I have had this particular unit for over a year (and previously had an older model). They're great at first but the low quality really shows after a while and they stop working properly. This one now doesn't properly come up to temperature. I'm done with these fryers. Much as I love the concept the quality is very sub par.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Truly the "Ultimate" Fryer!
on December 19, 2019

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Love the Ultimate EZ Clean Deep Fryer! It's super easy to use and I love how much food you can fry up in a single batch. Wings are a staple in my house and this fryer easily does 30 split wings at once! Enough to feed 2-4 people! I had an older model and I noticed the bracket holding the thermostat wires to the heating element has been updated. The old one went across both bars, making it hard to clean. The new bracket on one bar only is so much better! The unit is about as easy to clean as a fryer can get and it's great all the stainless steel pieces can go in the dishwasher (even though I still prefer to hand wash). The fact that you can filter and drain the oil and store it below the fryer is the reason I wanted this model. Genius! It is large and takes up a fair bit of real estate on the kitchen counter, but I know that going in and it isn't an issue at all... Small price to pay for the cooking capacity. The break-away plug is a smart idea for safety reasons and the adjustable temperature is a must. I don't use the timer often but it's nice to know it's there. The basket itself is the best fryer basket I've used. Most are wire.... To make a basket with wire, the wire in the corner gets all crimped together creating hard to clean spots.... But not with this basket. The galvanized steel mesh is perfect for a fryer basket. Two thumbs up for this alone! If there were two things I would change on this fryer they would be:
1. The filter - there really isn't much of one. I would add a filter that is a little more substantial. Smell isn't a huge issue with this fryer since you are draining and cleaning the oil after every use, but the act of frying does create a certain fried aroma in the house. Definitely not a deal breaker, but hey... There's always room for improvement
2. The second thing would be the plastic oil box. It tends to be a bit leaky and the lid did warp a bit when washing in hot water (which is a must for something that holds oil). The plastic the box is made of reminds me of your dollar store reusable plastic containers. I'd prefer more of a Tupperware or Rubbermaid type plastic. Something dishwasher safe, at that. And really.... Let's talk "Lock 'n Lock" for the lid! Something with a gasket/washer that locks in place to prevent leaks. Again, not a deal breaker, just a couple ways to improve.
Ultimately, I love this fryer and would buy again. It's the most-used small appliance in my house. Really. Up tonight: Poutine!

I bought this deep fryer about a year ago despite some of the poor reviews. I use it about once a week. I have had no problems with it and it fries wonderfully.
I would recommend this to a friend!
