Cheaply tack-welded basket holder fell off just outside warranty

The fryer worked very well. However, after maybe a dozen uses, the little piece of metal tack-welded on the tub to hold the basket while oil drained from it, just fell off. I've never fried anything heavy, just french fries, onion rings, chicken tenders, etc. Two little dots, that's all the manufacturer decided was necessary to tack on that piece of metal, no screws going through or permanent weld.
Outstanding EZ Clean Fryer! We needed a new counter top fryer so we knew we had to go with whatever Americas Test Kitchen recommended. They NEVER let us down.
We have only had this item for a short time, but we love how it works. It is pretty cool to filter the oil from the debris left from the breading and cooking. Great deep fryer
This is an excellent deep fryer; it heats up quickly and the food comes out crispy. However, I would like a longer magnetic power cord, and I hope it will be added to the accessories so I can purchase it.
I have owned several fryers over the years. I am so excited to Finally have one that is self cleaning. We used it this morning to make breakfast potatoes. The potatoes were cooked evenly and the taste is so good. Thank you T-Fal! They offer pay in 4!!!
Had issues from the beginning and t-fal wouldn't address any of them. Parts missing and they wouldn't replace them or even sell me the missing parts, just kept referring me back to the store where I bought it. The oil keeps leaking all over the counter even when not in use.
