Works like a charm, truly easy to clean and store away. Oil filteration is great, i used it 5 times with same oil for fries, fish, chicken and they all came out perfect each time. No lingering oil smell either and no mess. Happy with this purchase. Fries, Chicken and Fish came out much better than stovetop.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Cheaply stamped basket holder fell off just outside warranty

I've had this fryer for awhile, but that is not the issue. After only about six uses, the basket holder fell off. It was just stamped into place -- no weld, no rivets, no screws. I just don't understand how this got past testing. I never overloaded it, just french fries, onion rings, chicken wings. So, now I have to stand there and hold it above the oil to let the excess drain instead of leaving it on the basket holder. Otherwise, it has been a decent fryer, with the filtering and storage working just fine.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Oh no—that’s definitely not the crispy experience we’re going for. Thanks for sharing this with us. A basket holder coming loose after just a few uses, especially with everyday foods, isn’t acceptable and we understand how frustrating that is. We’d love to help make this right. Please reach out to our Consumer Care team at 1‑800‑395‑8325, and they’ll be happy to take care of you.

The best fryer by far
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: ikrico
I have had my for years and is the most practical fryer by far. Easy to clean one touch filtering and larger family size. It is economical because the filtering more frequently allows oil to keep from spoiling or burning.
I bought this for a birthday gift. It worked great the first time. The next time it never got hot. You can stick your finger in the grease as it was on high. Very disappointed and of course it was after 45 days.
I've had really great results from this fryer. I love that the oil can be stored in the bottom and that the filtration system does a decent job. Occasionally I've had to pour some oil out of the top when the filter gets clogged. This tends to happen if the oil gets too cold or if the particles are too small, especially with flour or rice flour coatings. To me, that's a minor issue since the whole thing comes apart, making it easy to pour the oil out. I also love that almost everything is dishwasher safe and that is amazing!
As for the comments about the oil container leaking: yes, once you pull it apart to wash it, you need to make sure it's snapped back together properly and pour the oil back in slowly to ensure it doesn't come apart. Once I figured out those nuances, I find it to be a great fryer overall.
