I bought this as a replacement for an older Cuisinart model. The older one has a digital temperature reading and an audible sound when it reached temperature. This one has a dial for the temperature an no audible sound when it is reached only a difficult to see light to indicate it is ready. I do not think the newer model gets as hot as the older one at the same temperature and it maxes out at 375 which is where I normally use it, thus it takes longer to cook the food. The only way to turn the newer model off is to unplug it, where the older model had an on/off button. Also the basket doesn't fit down in the oil like the older model which gives me less area to use for cooking. I would not recommend this fryer and plan to replace it much sooner than the older model which I used at least weekly for over 7 years.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Purchased the deep fat fryer as a replacement for another brand that had stopped working on our son's recommendation. Happy with the purchase. Instructions are easy to follow. Works much better than old one.
I would recommend this to a friend!

If you've never tried deep frying at home, this is how you do it properly. Shallow pan frying anyways makes a huge mess, air frying just can't quite hit the same highs. You'll get restaurant quality food out of just basic frozen stuff in less time than an air fryer or oven, and as counter Intuitive as it feels - when done properly, its actually LESS oily and/or greasy ( try peanut oil ).
I would recommend this to a friend!
