Bought this fryer in Dec 2018. Have been using it this last month several times. The magnetic plug is a disaster, falls off if you touch it. Since there is no on/off switch it is necessary to unplug the unit, plug falls off. Mine will not fall off again! I am sure the issues with under temp and resets are the direct result of gov't (CPSC) meddling with the magnetic cord regulations "for our own good", just need to be careful. Other than that, love the machine. It could be deeper but all in all it works great.
purchased this fryer even though reviews were poor for heating. needed for family xmas party and it failed to heat above 250. returned the unit for what i paid for it. major family diappointment
I am very satisfied with my Cuisinart deep fryer because it works just as it was designed to do. Temperature control and timer works perfectly. The deep fryer I replaced made by another manufacturer with a max temperature setting of 375* F would only heat to 240*F. The Cuisinart 4 Quart Deep Fryer is a good quality product!
We are two seniors and cook small meals at home. This unit does a better job than the black skillet I normally use. The temperature control is fairly accurate. The 375 degree setting heated the oil to about 360, which is good enough for fish, pork chops, and french fries. I also used 325 for fried shrimp. All good.
