The fryer has a problem with the thermostat. If you set it at 350 the oil temperature is actually around 440. This will trip the safety shut off making it very hard to use. I used a digital thermometer and at 275 the oil is actually at 365. I would expect a brand like Cuisinart would have better quality control. Tried to connect customer service and it took them 5 days to correspond.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love this fryer! I wasn’t sure if it was too big for two people, but it’s really just the right size for French fries made from two medium size Idaho potatoes. Anything smaller would require two batches. It does a perfect job on the fries, crispy and not greasy at all. Most of it goes right in the dishwasher, but you will have to soap up and rinse off the heating element, which does take some patience, but I think it’s well worth it.

I've used maybe 5 times, reset keeps blowing before 350 degrees is reached and can't use again until unit cools down completely. I've had unit replaced under warranty, we'll see how long this one last.

My husband bought this for me as a Christmas gift...I'm so happy he did. My family loves French Fries, Empanadas, and Chicken Wings. This product enables me to get a great fry on these types of food. A Happy Family makes for a Happy Home!

While purchasing a deep fryer is not the most health conscience things I've ever done, it did satisfy my urge to make home made fries and onion rings and being to explore other fun options. This Deep Fryer totally fit my needs and budget and has been great. Easy to use, easy to clean, perfect size for day to day.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Heats up quickly, convenient size to cook more than enough food in the first batch, and love the fact that most of the components can be washed in the dishwasher. The only drawback is that there’s no steam/odor filter, so the smell of what you’ve been cooking ends up permeating your whole house for days. Also need to watch the temp; it seems to heat up a few degrees hotter than the gauge shows.
