a Piece of Junk with poor instructions on use

Bought this fryer after reviewing several other fryers. Happily looked forward to using the Tfal. Well sure enough, invited 15 people for fried chicken and waffles. Read all instructions provided and followed each step including usin* the reset. Well to shorten my story the fryer never worked would not heat even after reaching instructions. Had to set this junk aside and pull out me old reliable cast iron skillets. I will never buy anything with tea. On it again. Save your money looked for a reliable better fryer..
This is another great convenience for the consumer but not for sumo wrestlers. The reviews I have read must be another product. This has to be one of the easiest fryers I have ever used. Heats up, put in whatever and presto done. French fries, donuts and eggplant. Let cool drain oil and wait for another easy day of frying. Be nice to your tools and they will be nice to you.
Liked the fryer until the cheap plastic selector knob on the front broke. Finally got to speak to a real person and was informed that I could not buy the knob... I ask what I was supposed to do " buy a new fryer ". She said that's up to you Bottom line , your not going to get any replacement parts
Plugged it in and doesn't even heat. Oil still cold, light dosent turn on. Nothing happening. We left it on to see if it was just working slow but it just doesn't even function at all. Tried reset button and checked the wall plug but it's just not working.
What a mess! From DAY 1, this thing has LEAKED from the oil control valve! I have resorted to putting a plastic trash bag under it to contain the oil mess! Called customer service......WOW really? Telling me that I have food lodged in the filtration system? I've used it 3 times, THREE! And it leaked after the FIRST USE! Now I wait for for an 'email' to arrive with instructions and 'parts' replacement. NEVER AGAIN TFAL!
I love it!! Anyone who doesn't does not know how to use it or something, not sure. But I lost the cap and I need to order a new one when I figure out how
I use this at home but I own two restaurants. Although all home units suffer from weak temperature recovery, in all this is the most user friendly home unit I have owned. Easy to clean and the oil filtration and storage components are genius. It solves the problem of storing oil elegantly. I don't do a ton of frying, but when I do, this unit gets it done. Highly recommend.
