Easy to use, cord is too short for where my electrical outlets are placed as I place this on the stovetop for heat and exhaust vent. I have to use an extension cord. It just barely heats up enough to deep fry, but does get the job done. Yam fries take 6 minutes per batch one 375 F. Donuts took about 3 min and can only fry two at a time, but I do not want a large fryer.
Love it. Although the lack of an on/off button was odd, it's also not needed and keeps things simple and durable. The high temp level was perfect for sweet-potato fries and onion rings. The basket size is correct for one person (or two with smaller helpings) though not using the basket makes it great for two people. The lid is only needed for too-damp-food's initial dip.
Very disappointed! The temperature control is totally inaccurate. It displays 375 on deep frier but control cannot be set to that level. The control will not properly maintain the correct temperature, it wildly fluctuates. The has nothing to do with adding food to be fried; it happens with out adding anything to the frier. I would definitely recommend not buying this deep fryer!
I previously had a small fryer but it was pretty compact in size which I loved but the fry basket was super small. When the lid broke and wouldn't stay shut I replaced it with this 1. I researched all the " space saving" fryers and decided on this.. and I'm glad I did. The square size makes it not only space saving but it's not all weird when sitting on the counter next to something else because it's shaped funny. I hesitated about buying this because from the picture you really couldn't tell how big the fry basket was but is basically about the same as a round fry daddy but shaped different so your portions are decents sized. It fry's great . The lid does pop off easy but it's made to do that so you can wash it so don't freak and think you broke it like I did lol . All in all I'm very happy with this purchase and would definitely buy it again
