For enjoying perfectly fried foods at home, this 1700-watt deep fryer features easy-to-use controls and an adjustable thermostat for selecting the perfect cooking temperature. After setting the thermostat, a "temperature-ready" light indicates when the oil has reached the selected frying temperature. The large-capacity unit holds 3 liters of oil, and its removable scratch-resistant enamel nonstick pot accommodates up to 2-1/5 pounds of fresh food. Not only does the fryer offer simple operation and flexibility, but it also provides several safety features. The unit's design includes cool-touch handles and a safe-to-touch lid, external basket control to ensure splatter-free frying, a magnetic safety plug, and automatic shut-off with a signal bell for peace of mind. Other thoughtful details include a simple on/off switch, a 60-minute timer for precision cooking and multi-tasking in the kitchen, an extra-large viewing window to check on food while it's cooking, and an integrated folding handle for easy storage. The washable filter helps reduce cooking odors, and all parts except for the heating element are dishwasher-safe for quick cleanup. Attractively housed in brushed stainless steel with black accents, the deep fryer measures 19-3/5 by 13 by 12 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
Sturdy Product
I like it. Sturdy, unlike my older, cheaper deep fryer, which had an unstable feel to it. Timer is helpful--prevents leaving it on accidentally. Basket is larger than most, so items like FF can be spread out and fry quicker. Only downside is that this model is a little bulky (its squarer than most), especially if you live in a place with limited storage. And there's no real place in/on the unit to store the detachable cord. But this one looks like it will last a long time, and I'm glad I bought it..

I almost returned this as soon as I took it out of the box. The temp digits are so small (like an 8 font) I could barely see them. I gave it a chance and I kept it because it did a nice job cooking the food and it is so easy to clean. After a few uses all the printing on the control panel (including the temp digits) started to melt off. I was planning on returning it the next day, and then I had no choice because while I was prepping my food and letting it heat up it just stopped working. The lights were off and it was cold. I tried unplugging it for a while but nothing worked, it was just dead.
Surprised
After about a monhth, I have been pleasantly surprised at the power and convenience of this cooker. It easily stands above other cookers like the Fry Daddy and such in the time it takes to reach and maintain the desired temp. I bought it mainly for frying fish and it works great. The timer is a nice feature in case you forget to unplug or turn it off. I recommend this one to anyone needing fast heat and ample pot size and will buy it again when this one breaks or wears out.
