Excellent Product

I've had this for over 7 years. it gets really hot. It fries great. I love the lid. I love that I can put everything but the heater assembly in the dishwasher. The oil filtration system works. I do wish it got hotter but I know they can't do that for probably home versus commercial use. but honestly I've never had a bad thing come out of this fryer.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Much smaller than expected. I can only submerge 6 chicken wings at a time.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. We understand how the fryer’s compact size can feel limiting when you’re cooking larger batches. We appreciate you pointing this out, and we’ll make sure your feedback about the capacity is shared with our team.

I've had this fryer for many, many years and I love it. I just got my second one because I wore out the first one. I love how easy it is to clean and that it stores the oil for the next time you use it. You can't go wrong with this fryer.

EZ Clean...not really.

This was a great piece of equipment until it wasn't. I can no longer filter my oil due to the filter being clogged; and I can no longer use my fryer because I don't think it's safe due to contaminants. Usually soap and water is just fine. I've tried using boiling water, vinegar and baking soda, and last resort degreaser. I can see particles floating around but still doesn't drain. There should be a way to remove the filter to clean it more efficiently when it gets like this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Uneven cooking due to basket

Decent fryer, but my issue is that if I put chicken in the deep fryer, some of it will cook and some of it will be frozen because of the huge basket in the way. It's so annoying. Don't buy this.

Worked one time. Drained oil. Cleaned everything. Second time went to use and it would not turn on. Reset did nothing. Total junk.

Dangerously vague storage instructions. Read before reusing oil!

This is an excellent machine mechanically, but the official storage instructions and FAQs on the website are dangerously vague and need massive warning labels. The website FAQ states you can store oil inside the container to keep it "fresh and clean," and that if it won't be used for "a long time," to store it separately. As an average consumer and not a scientist, I assumed oil that was filtered once would last for several months, just like fresh store-bought oil does at room temperature. This was a massive mistake. I reheated oil that had been filtered and stored for an extended period. Within 5 minutes, the oil underwent a severe chemical breakdown. It didn't smell rancid beforehand, but upon heating, it filled my apartment with thick, acrid, blinding fumes. My air quality monitor instantly maxed out at 99/100 for hazardous airborne compounds (VOCs). My girlfriend and I experienced instant eye burning, throat stinging, and difficulty breathing, forcing us to shut down the machine and evacuate to the balcony immediately. After researching the science behind used oils, I learned that even filtered oil retains microscopic food particles and moisture. Leaving it out at room temperature causes the fats to oxidize rapidly and creates a breeding ground for severe foodborne illness. Reheating it releases highly dangerous airborne irritants like acrolein and aldehydes. Luckily, we threw the food away and did not eat it, but we still suffered physical symptoms (headaches, eye irritation, and swollen glands) just from breathing the fumes for 5 minutes in an open-concept apartment. T-fal needs to fix their documentation. "A long time" is completely undefined. There should be massive warning labels stating that filtered oil should be stored in the refrigerator and discarded after a few weeks at most. If you buy this, ignore the FAQ: do not store used oil at room temperature, and change it frequently. It is a great fryer, but the vague safety guidelines are a massive hazard for everyday users.
