Best Fryer there is, needs some design changes.
on November 15, 2022
Posted by: Sammy
Got this to make Chicken Wings, Veggies & Falafels . The rotating basket cooks the food extremely evenly, and the food seems to absorb much less oil because it is rotating in and out of the oil on a slant. This is by far the best fryer there is. From the low volume of oil, to the great tasting food it produces, to the filter on top to the ease of cleanup. Amazing fryer.
Because of the quality of this product alone, I will buy other DeLonghi appliances in the future.
However, and DeLonghi take notice of my comment. You need to update this design to include an ON / OFF switch. Plugging it in and unplugging to turn it on and off, is lame. And by omitting a switch, you totally downgrade the design of this otherwise extremely well designed product. With an indicator light on it so you can tell it is on!
Like come on, how much would a switch like that cost to add?
The Power Cord - This one scares me. The connector that goes in the back has two exposed electrical prongs. If you plug it in the wall first, even though your directions clearly state otherwise, and touch that bare protruding metal, THE USER WILL FRY INSTEAD OF THE FOOD!
You could easily remedy this by redesigning the cord, so the exposed metal is would be recessed, instead of protruding, in a plastic housing. I realize it is made this way so if you move the fryer with hot oil, there is never a risk of the cord jerking the unit causing the oil to slosh out and burn the user.
Fry by oil, or Fry be electrical shock ? What a choice. Just redesign it, I’m sure some smart mechanical engineer can figure it out.
But remember, you still need the on off switch - with an indicator light.
The Timer - ialthough it has a timer, it is a nothing timer. It should turn off the fryer when the timer is hits zero. Right now it is nothing more than a two bit stopwatch that has nothing to do with the function of the unit whatsoever. It should be powered by the unit, forget popping it out and replacing a watch battery.
ALSO, It NEEDS TO BE BACKLIT. From the acute angle you use the appliance, ie standing over it a few feet from the counter, you cannot see the timer readout unless you bend down to look at it. And if the ambient light from the kitchen is not hitting the LCD screen just right, you cannot see it at all.
So Mr Product Manager, get on the ball and take my suggestions. The electrical situation is a HUGE liability for your company. The on off switch, a needed feature. The timer interface and backlighting of the readout, a genuine upgrade that puts your fyer at the highest level of anything comparable out there.
Yes it will cost more for those changes, but after using this fryer, and realizing how amazing it is, I would be willing to pay more for it, and even upgrade from the one I currently have.
I am reposting this review on Amazon, where I purchased it, and anywhere else I can, to try and get you to make these changes. Especially to the electrical cord.

Nice crispy chicken
on February 25, 2022
Posted by: Pferguson91276
The best part of this machine is the amount of oil required to fry. I was able to fit 4 drumsticks in without over crowding. I flipped it halfway through the 20-25 min process. The time chart for the chicken stated 7 min which is misleading cause that's more for nuggets lol. But the end result was perfectly crisped chicken and it was easy to clean and store the oil.

Amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for review and its perfect for a small family. The rotating basket makes it easier knows all all sides are getting fried evenly and not having to flip anything. Clean up is a breeze since you dont have to pour the used oil into a container you just get the drainage hose out and it drains quickly.

Easy to Use and Clean
on April 18, 2019
Posted by: txfilly
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this and it took me a while to use because I was nervous - about the ease and potential mess. I have never fried food on my own before but always wanted to be able to do so. The instructions were well written and easy to follow. I made fried chicken and it was a hit! The spout for removing the oil made clean-up not the daunting task I was afraid of. I liked that it used less oil.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have had oil deep fryers in the past. This is above the quality of other deep fryers. It is easy to clean-no mess as far as removing the used oil. The rotating basket is unbelievable and provides even frying. Food is great in the fryer.
I would recommend this to a friend!
