It certainly doesn't take the amount of out a turkey fryer does, but it's certainly bigger that you average counter top fryer. It's actually big enough to make corn dogs, or chicken tenders, even onion rings. Without have to fry only one or two at a time. Just the right size for the kitchen.

Have been using this unit to prepare corn dogs, krinkle-cut fries, tater-tots and even deep-fried tofu. The unit does a great job at preparing small quantities.
I use corn oil that has a smoke temperature of 440°F and it does a good job. I buy a one-gallon jug of oil at the grocery store and that fills the reservoir just to the MAX fill line.
The oil comes up to temperature fairly quickly, and maintains temperature when running multiple batches. (Note that I let the frozen products defrost for about 30 minuets before frying)
The lid is the best part of the design. you can remove the lid, load product into the basket, set the lid loosely on top of the basket, then drop the basket into the oil with the lid following down and that contains 100% of the splatter. There is virtually no mess.

I bought my fryer months ago and used it for the first time last month, my fried chicken came out perfect! Each time I use my fryer I am very pleased with the results.

Great deep fryer. This is like a mini Professional unit. It replaced one that I thought worked pretty good, but after using the Cuisinart...zero comparison. Everything comes apart so cleaning is simple.

I bought this deep fryer 3 months ago and it isn’t working. This is actually my second one because I thought this company had a good reputation. I have bought other things by this company and they all lasted but for some reason the deep fryer is a NO. In the middle of frying chicken I heard a pop and then the temperature started to go down leaving my fried chicken undone and needing me to find ways to finish cooking it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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.
