Purchased the deep fat fryer as a replacement for another brand that had stopped working on our son's recommendation. Happy with the purchase. Instructions are easy to follow. Works much better than old one.
I bought this as a replacement for an older Cuisinart model. The older one has a digital temperature reading and an audible sound when it reached temperature. This one has a dial for the temperature an no audible sound when it is reached only a difficult to see light to indicate it is ready. I do not think the newer model gets as hot as the older one at the same temperature and it maxes out at 375 which is where I normally use it, thus it takes longer to cook the food. The only way to turn the newer model off is to unplug it, where the older model had an on/off button. Also the basket doesn't fit down in the oil like the older model which gives me less area to use for cooking. I would not recommend this fryer and plan to replace it much sooner than the older model which I used at least weekly for over 7 years.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I needed a larger fryer and this is definitely what I needed! Each part is removable for cleaning and all but control panel is dishwasher safe. Gone are the days of a greasy, messy appliance that you want to hide! In the age of ‘air frying’ I love that I can fry with healthy oils and great results!
Heating oil to required temp. Is about the same as any other fryer, but this one maintains cooking temp ,way better than any fryer we have ever owned. Plug is a little iffy position fryer where you don’t have to move it during use plug can fall out easier then most. This is the best fryer we have ever owned.
