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.
No electronics to fail, fast to temperature, quick temperature recovery, and plenty of room for food. Cleaning the oil helps make the oil last longer than traditional units.
Terrible, oil leaking from the top of the container, you’ll spent a lot of money in oil only to find it’s not a real deep fryer the basket sits higher than expected. Then you have a shirt cable, a single light that turn off when it get to temperature… this is a n accident waiting to happen! Soooo disappointing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
