Excellent basic fryer
For $50 you can't beat this as a basic fryer, especially if purchasing for a smaller household. The capacity is enough to cook for 2 or 3 at a time, the unit is well-designed and solidly built, and even though it lacks a temperature control it heats the oil to 375 degrees (I checked with a cooking thermometer) which is what most recipes seem to recommend. The filter system works well to contain odors and the drainage tube makes cleaning a breeze. The only issue I've had is that it's hard to avoid condensation on the viewing window, but that's no big deal. Highly recommended.
Great Value for the Price
Nice looking; works and feels like it is not cheap; operation is easy and properly engineered. A press button raises the lid, fit the basket into the slot and close the lid before lowering the basket (see photo with lid up and handle out that I added). Then lower the basket safely so there is no spattering. This model does not allow varying temperatures, a light on the lower section lets you know when it is ready and cooking is controlled by time. The instructions are very helpful, their recommendation to cook potatoes in two parts allowing the oil to reheat up again in the middle works very well. The drain tube is very easy to use and a great feature. Relatively easy to clean. A basket of fries can feed 3 to 4 people. Not a lot of smoke or smell when operating.
We could have double the price for a built in timer and variable temperature settings, but we are happy with this and feel we got very good value for the money ($50).
Basic features, excellent design
despite the lack of fancy features such as adjustable tempreture and timer, this fryer has outstanding air filter and oil drain that takes the pain out of deep frying. It's practically odor free compared to our previous fryer with fancy features. being able to lift the basket without opening the lid also helps contain the greasy air. highly recommended.
