I sent back the first one because it wouldn't heat the oil above about 325 degrees. The second one does a little bit better...maybe 350 degrees. Good enough to go ahead and keep. I suppose it's better that one that would overheat the oil to a dangerous level.
Definitely limited to cooking for 1 or 2. Made French Fries as 1 use. Tuned out great for homemade. Have larger fryer but hate to waste the oil. This does perfectly with 1 liter!
Does it’s job, but the reservoir holds more oil than is necessary and creates waste. Also, no on/off switch. Small window in lid that fogs up and is pretty much useless.
