Dont buy. Got this fryer as Christmas gift, planed a fried chicken and french fries for dinner with friends. Fryer did not work. Lights indicated fryer had power. Oil never changed temp at all. We ended up with baked chicken and potatos. We did not save boxes. Guess we can use for a unique paper weight. Very disappointed with this Cuisinart product. Been a long time user of Cuisinart mixer and food processors.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I must say that I have used this appliance only two or three times. For the most part, it performed as I expected. It is rather compact, light-weight and reaches the desired temperature in a reasonable amount of time. We have had to go through the "reset" procedure each time we have used it and found that to be a tad annoying. Maybe it is something that we are doing wrong and will be more attentive in the future when using the appliance. We have several Cuisinart appliances and none are "quirky" like this one.

I decided to replace our Fry Daddy with this Cuisinart fryer because I wanted to be able to control the oil temperature. It works great and I would give a 5 rating except for two things. It takes longer to come to temperature than I had expected; so I would suggest starting your fryer a bit earlier than you might have thought. Also, it takes a full gallon of oil to fill, so that can get a bit pricey.

So this fryer actually performs quite well. It heats quickly. The fryer also is pretty easy to clean. The problem comes in when you have to replace the oil for one it takes quite a bit of oil and two the oil seems to dirty very quickly. That could be what I fry so I'm not knocking off stars for that what I am knocking off is how quick it uses oil as well as the material quality and how the cord constantly comes unplugged.
I would recommend this to a friend!
