This could be a really good fryer. Except----this stupid, brain dead magnetic cord-obviously designed for "safety reasons"--which escape me at the present time. Anyway, the "safety" cord keeps falling off, temperature of the oil goes down, and the meal is ruined. I am going to cut the cord off, and solder the wires internally to ensure a solid and "safe" connection. Maybe then this thing will work right. I will never buy anything again with a so-called "safe" magnetic cord. Safe for what--keep morons away from hot deep fat fryers--duh!!!!!

Their products break down after 5 months and there is no service center anywhere near manhattan. Their products are expensive and suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. They are a waste of money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Read reviews of all the fryers. This fryer sounded the best and have found
it to be exceptional. The temperature is correct and has no revolving
basket to cause problems. Large enough for family of four.

I just love this little machine, but with all things there is room for improvement.

First things first. The ease of cleaning is amazing for a fryer. Just drain the oil with the spiffy little drain tube, wipe out the insides, throw the basket in the dishwasher and your home free. It's compact and takes up less room then most conventional fryers, I'm a real fan of its internal design which keeps my lovely self from being burned during the cooking process, and if you squint your eyes, glance at it sideways, imagine it with some Scfi accessories it looks vaguely like R2D2. It is great for a 2 person household and cooks food well.

Now for the suggestions. The food capacity needs to be increased to cut down on the time it takes to complete your frying projects. The frying temps need to be increased (all true cooks know that for the best fryed chicken and fish you need temps that reach a little beyond 370). That's all I can think of for the moment. Happy frying.

This is my first deep fryer. After researching products forever, I settled on this one and I'm glad I did. It's of medium size so it fits fairly well on the counter. I love the "cool to touch" and that the basket can be lowered with the lid shut. I did not have a fogging up problem for the window which some people seem to feel is inevitable. I love the magnetic cord (I have a three year old), and I feel as safe as one can with a deep fryer in the house with a toddler. The oil heats up pretty qquick and the fried food comes out crisp and fairly greaseless. I am very pleased with this purchase.
