Not a bad fryer other than there's no "oil trap" at the bottom to drain the used oil into and reuse for future frying. Most of the competitors fryers have this and they're way easier to clean/get the oil out of as a result. Otherwise, it does what it's supposed to do.

Normally find Cuisinart products to be good value, even if not top of the line. I have coffee makers, coffee grinder, toaster oven and more. I bought for expected high capacity, but it falls short for two reasons. The heater element is so high from the floor that the basket cannot take on very much oil. Only about an inch deep. The other reason is that one big basket actually has less utility than two side-by side baskets. Otherwise it heats faily quickly and seems to come back to temperature faily quickly after dropping frozen food.

So far, so good. I’ve had this fryer for a month now, used it five times and very pleased with the results. Relatively easy to use and clean (most parts dishwasher safe). I don’t know of any fryer that is totally mess free dealing with the oil involved, but this comes close. I’m not sure how accurate the temperature control is, something I continue to monitor. But it makes great fish & chips, potato chips, sweet potato fries, etc. The fryer cannot hold large amounts of food, but I would not expect it to. I would not want to use a fryer that involved larger amounts of oil (easily holds one gallon of oil) for personal safety reasons.

Love this deep fryer, has timer & temperature control. DEEP bucket to hold oil & fry basket completes the package which can sit on top of fryer to drain oil from food. Absolutely recommend getting this fryer, looks just as pictured.

Very simple and easy design. Have used several times already and no complaints. I saw some reviews that mentioned food sticking to the basket. I found that if you let the basket sit in the oil as it heats that sticking is not an issue. Easy to hand clean as well. I am very satisfied with this product.
