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.

Have used this only once it’s a lot bigger than an ordinary fryer as you can drain the oil away . I quite liked the idea after each use to drain oil and clean fryer, which should keep it looking newer for longer.

Is not bad it do what supposed to be doing friying. Is super big and take more space than my old one. The only positive thing is you can clean your oil without the need of wasted. It take a bit longer than my old one to get hot but I repite this is bigger. The oil box is a bit difficult to empty back in when is needed as the lid is not secure and you only have a small hold in one Conner of the box , it was better if they put something to lock like clips on the side.

The product is well made and works well, the filter function works well and stops the fat going off and is easy to operate. The fact that the parts can be washed in the dishwasher is a bonus too. In terms of cooking the results are excellent helped by the fact that the basket is shallow and wide meaning the food is well spread so cooks evenly. A bit more expensive than others but offers good value in my opinion.

Couldn't be happier with the product or the service. Ordered Sunday, arrived Monday, chips Tuesday. Superb. Very East to use and clean
