I've had 7 deep fat fryers in the past and this one is without doubt the best one by far. although other fryers may Fry the same as this one, what sets this one apart from the rest is the absolute ease of cleaning, in fact it cleans itself (almost) by filtering the used oil, this leaves you free just to wipe the bowl out of any bits that were left from the cooking process. this in itself stops the fryer from accumulating oily build-up. If you're lucky enough to have a dishwasher it all goes in the dishwasher apart from the heating element so you don't have to get your hands dirty at all. All I can say is if you buy this fryer you will not be disappointed.

Fryer is very easy to use. Reaches temperature very quick. The oil can be used many time due to the features to clean the oil.

I have been a user of fryers such as this for over 20 years and this is about my fifth or sixth. Keeping them clean and handling the oil has always been a problem, and this appliance addresses both of these. The strainer clears all the bits after use, and all the parts, except the control and heating element, can be put in the dishwasher. Earlier fryers could be similarly cleaned, but the fact that the oil can be filtered and drained, makes the task of keeping the parts like new much easier. The one thing I am slightly disappointed with is the design of the handle on the basket. It is a bit flimsy, and holds water after being washed, so has to be dried carefully. When in place it sticks out, so if you have a standard depth worktop there is a risked of it being caught or knocked when in use. It is not convenient to store the basket with handle in the fryer, so space has to be found elsewhere. The design of the heating element suggests pure engineering without any streamlining, and will have to be cleaned carefully. The other glitch I found was when reading through the instructions after opening the box and before using it, was that groundnut oil was not recommended. Since I have been using such oil for several years based on a chef's recommendation, I would have liked a better explanation of why it was not suitable in this situation. A trip to the supermarket to get vegetable oil delayed my enjoyment of lovely golden crisp chips for twenty-four hours!

I have a ready supply of fish. Tried every recipe I could but cannot beat battered deep fried cod. This makes the best deep fried fish ever. Cannot wait to try chicken. Easy to use and clean. Excellent product.

The handle of the basket broke on my last deep fay fryer so I decided to buy a new one. Well,they've all gone up in price since my last purchase but to my family, deep frying is the only way of getting a good chip. The only problem with a deep fat fryer is the cleaning so I wanted one with a removable bowl so that I could filter the oil (I was going to buy a container with a built in filter that I had seen) but when I saw this I knew this was going to do the job. Just turn the lever and it does it. Being stainless steel it washes quite easy. It heats up to 160C in about 5 mins (although I have to remember to turn the power switch on as my last fryer didn't have one). It does seem to cook the chips very very quick so I'm not sure if the temps are exact. I've tried both ways, par boiling and raw, before frying but they still cook very quick so I stand over the fryer ready to get them out. I guess it's just trial and error as my old one was when I first got it. The power lead isn't very long so you may be restricted where you can use it. This model came with a timer on top but it's black digits so doesn't stand out very well and should have been more upright so you could see it better. Also you have to reach across the lid to set the timer and there is a lot of steam coming from the lid so be careful. The window in the lid gets very steamed up so you can't actually see the food cooking but I think that is the same with many products. Overall I think this will be a very good fryer, the self - filtration of the oil being it's selling point.

Follow the instructions and it works. Good enough for us fatties

Love the oil filter and that each time you use it the lid, basket and cooking bowl can be put through the dishwasher to keep it like new. Looks great but bigger than expected! Would definitely buy again

Fantastic fryer. Easy to set up, cooks quickly. The chips have had thumbs up here! The filtration system is so easy to use, just flick the switch after cooking and have clean oil stored ready for next time. I think it’s great how most of the parts can be popped in the dishwasher. Definitely worth the money. Good cooking capacity cooked 1kg frozen chips no problem in about 5 minutes.
