Just like any other deep-fryer it gets the job done - temperature control is electronic so it takes the guesswork out of the way.
The main advantage of this fryer - requires way less oil than other deep-fryers.
It is also fairly easy to clean and can filter the oil to use again later.

Excellent fryer. I have owned DeLonghe roto fryers for years and find them to be an excellent fryer. The fact is, that I have two on hand for use of frying different foods at the same time. I highly recommend this product, it's quality, ease of use, and results it acheives is outstanding.

We purchased this fryer and we were so pleased with its performance and features. The food fried up so nice and crisp and used very little oil. The unti is easy to clean and has many thoughtful features -- drain hose, the lid removes for easy cleaning. But then the problems started, after only 4 months of use. The timer stopped working -- but we figured fine, we could use it without it, but then the power would go off, right in the middle of frying. Amazon referred us to the DeLonghi, they referred us to their "authorized" service center. That center had the machine for two months, they claimed it was fixed. Brought it home, same problem. Called DeLonghi, they said it has to go back to their service center. Did that. Same problem. So now I have been dealing with their customer service, and they keep referring me back to the service center. Meanwhile, the service center is getting very surly. Each time, they take weeks to get back to me, they insist it's working fine, we try it out and sure enough, the same problem returns. It has been 7 months, my request that DeLonghi send me another fryer is that it has to go back to the service center first. Even though I have done that three times already. No one that I have talked to, starting with Amazon, will stand behind this product. I will never buy a DeLonghi product after this experience.

I bought this to replace my very old DeLonghi fryer that still works but just has so much built up oil residue the lid won't close. I did a lot of reading and was skeptical about a few features of this fryer but decided to give it a go. I like the style and features. I used to be in food service for many years and never once did I ever come across a comercial fryer that the food leaves the oil and re-enters (the rotation feature). I've done a few things with this fryer (shrimp poppers, hash browns, egg rolls and cheese sticks). The results were that everything took longer to cook than what is on the package or what I was used to. I know the manual has cooking times in it but it's a pain to keep it handy. What is GREAT about this fryer is how easy and neat it is to remove/strain the oil and clean out the unit, this works flawless. The amount of food you can do is also a minus, the basket is small and shallow (not tall) and the food has to be pushed to the outside for the rotation properties to cook the best. Now I'm not one to do an entire meal in the fryer so it's fine for Fries, etc. What would be ideal is this fryer, with all it's features minus the rotation part to allow for a bigger basket. I can deal with using a bit more oil. DeLonghi makes a lower model but doesn't have an adjustable thermostat ... a BIG minus. In my searches it appears to that DeLonghi used to make a model with all the features of the roto but minus the roto. That would be a 5 star model. All in all it's a good fryer, the cleaning feature is the best.

I now own my 2nd ROTO fryer. Why buy a 2nd you ask? Because the 1st one developed a leak on the drain stem which sent used oil all over my base kitchen cabinets!

If you have small batches of food to fry, say <24 pieces of shrimp, then this baby works just as advertised. You might want to reduce cooking times a bit - less than packaged food suggests - because it seems to get crispy quite quickly (shrimp in 6 min vs. 9 min suggested).

As for the drain stem: we now use an aluminum foil tray to store our unit in. I've written Delonghi and they DO NOT provide a replacement part for the rubber drain stem (it's built in and not replacable) but did give me a coupon credit on future purchases.

This deep fryer is just great! It cooks food evenly with the rotating basket so you don't have to stop it and stir the food inside. Its great for french fries and even for chicken wings! There are all sorts of things that you can cook with it. Also with the unique design you can quickly and easily with no mess and fuss drain the fryer for easy cleaning. I would recommend this for anybody for their own use or a great gift idea!

The DeLonghi Cool Touch ROTO Fryer is a really great fryer. Easy to use and easier to clean up. The drainage tube and non stick surface inside makes for the easiest clean up of any fryer I have had. The adjustable thermometer, the timer, and the rotating basket are nice extras that are standard with this fryer. The only problem I have with this fryer is the rotating basket sometimes gets stuck once it takes on debris around the top of the basket. The fry debris does not allow for the basket to continue to turn without cleaning the rim of the basket, this after the first frying batch. Other than this, nothing could be better. Buy it and Fry IT!

We've used this fryer for both wings and egg rolls. The eggrolls have a much better crunch than I managed in a skillet. The wings have very little grease left on them. Being able to use a smaller amount of grease, and reuse it is great.

Easy to use, and cleanup. Capacity could be bigger. Adjustable temperature setting very nice, Oil had to be changed after usage, it became dirty from chicken and fries. Instructions from manufacturer on cooking temps and times not accuate. Chicken raw and fries overcooked. Need to develop own temps and cooking times thru experience. Overall though the product worked very good no mess.

Doesnt need a lot of oil to do its job. The rotating basket is a nice tough. The only thing I don't like is the drain. Its very tricky to pull the little red hose out and put it into a bowl or the included drain bucket without spilling any.

We are very satisfied with the Roto Fryer. It takes a little getting used to the fact that french fries cook so quickly. But it does a beautiful job, It is so easy to empty the oil and clean. A big improvement over some other fryers. Would recommend highly to others.

This is the best deep fryer on the market - no exception. The rotating basket keeps foods from absorbing excess grease and the temperature control is top notch.

->Deal DeLonghi D895UX Cool Touch ROTO Electric Fryer

This one has most of the features that you'll need & want. (I.E. adjustable temperature setting, timer, rotating basket, oil drain) I really like the rotating basket, as your food doesn't constantly sit in one place throughout the cooking process. Also, the drain system allows you to easily remove the oil (once cooled down) without the hassle & mess of other fryers. It may seem a little overpriced, but I've found its features really make it worth the extra couple bucks!

I am a sucker for many deep fried foods, fries, onion rings, hush puppies, etc. The first day I got this item I put it to the test. Fries and rings no problem. Hush puppies which for those not familiar with the southern delicacy are doughy ball like things made of corn meal, onion and other spices. They are doughy but the deep fryer handled them well. There was no sticking; I think the key is to get the basket hot so they do not stick. The rotation worked fine you just need to make sure the basket is seated properly. It also does a good job with less oil. I give 4 stars just because I am only allowed to use it bi weekly.

This is one excellent deep fryer. It uses very little oil. The basket rotates to keep food circulating, so it doesn't become one lump of a mess. I fried chicken breast using Washington brand Chicken breading. It was great! I can't wait to try seafood. Draining the oil was a breeze. This is so much easier than draining the oil thru a paper towel and funnel like I did on my old open fryer. No odor or splatter to deal with either. Because of the smaller basket, you will have to do couple of batches. I highly recommend this deep fryer.


-> DeLonghi D895UX Cool Touch ROTO Electric Fryer

I have owned this fryer for 3 years and use it at least once a week. OK for making food for a couple of people but the basket really is just too small. Half a bag of frozen french fires or one large potato cut up is the max. I also need to deep fry for a minute then let it heat up again before finishing to cook (to prevent the oil getting too cool- not much thermal mass). The rotor works fine and does not use much oil. I only drain the oil out when I replace it but it drains well. Easy to change the oil. The basket and rotor assembly is pretty complicated and I can understand folks having issues with it (never had any problems myself tho).

I received the Delonghi deep fryer on Friday evening and had it at the post office on Monday morning. I did everything EXCEPT stand on my head to get it to make potato chips...smaller batches, larger batches, shorter cooking times, longer cooking times. What I did get, consistantly, resembled more a potato cake which was soggy in the middle. I bought a Waring Pro at William Sonoma for $40 more and had beautiful potatos Monday evening. Bottom line...Delonghi may be a bit cheaper and a tad easier to clean, but I want good tasting food.

Good concept but difficult to clean. This would have been a great fryer but there is no way to remove the unit to clean or put in the dishwasher. I ended up returning the unit just for that fact. If they re-design it in the future with a removable tub I'd buy one again.

Despite the high price, my roto fryer did not work from the day one. The basket rotates when you first turn it on but it always stops working. Apparently, a lot of people had the same problem. Also, they don't have service centers in every state, so if you have a problem, it's going to be tough and expensive to get it fixed.

I used to own the larger Delonghi fryer but we managed to melt part of it by placing it next to a hot stove.

Big negative: the AC power cord is only 1 foot long and attaches magnetically to the fryer. Therefore, it always falls out and is a pain to place.

Small negatives: (1) The fryer capacity is small. (2) the small plastic feet under the fryer also fall out.


Positive: The rotor works well and is easy to clean.

This is my 2nd Roto Fryer. The first had the same problem as I read about in other reviews and which a friend also experienced with hers. The rotating button seemed to lock in place, often in the middle of a frying session. My warranty had expired, and I decided to get a new one, because when it is good, it is superb. I highly recommend the Roto Fryer, but keep your receipts in case it has a problem. (I also bought the extended warranty - this time I am prepared) My friend's fryer was still under warranty and the motor was replaced, which seems to have solved the problem.

This is an excellent deep fryer except for one thing: the temperature sensor is not sensitive enough, nor accurate enough. When set at the highest, 370 degrees F., the sign on the fryer indicates 15 minutes is necessary to come to this temp. The light goes out in 5 minutes, at 360 degrees (two separate thermometers used to check). After 15 minutes, the temp does indeed nearly reach 370 degrees, but the sensor shuts off the heat which drops the oil to 340 degrees before the sensor light comes back on to indicate the heating element is working again. It messes up the crispness of my calamari which should only take 2 or 3 minutes...limp squid. French fried potatoes are fine, since so much more time is involved that the oil can recover and do the job. Cleaning is a breeze and the rotary function is a real plus.


->Deals DeLonghi D895UX Cool Touch ROTO Electric Fryer

After using it around 10 times, I've found that it ceases to rotate probably 1/2 the time. It has a very small capacity (can't cook enough chicken fingers for a family of four). Also, the basket is NOT non-stick, so the food sticks to the basket and is difficult to remove. Clean up is fairly easy, that's the only positive thing to be said. As mentioned, there is no recipe book included, which was vexing. Save your money, this is disappointing in all aspects. I've had it for less than 2 months and am looking to replace it already.


-> DeLonghi D895UX Cool Touch ROTO Electric Fryer

This is a great little fryer, but because of its limited capacity, it would be difficult to use for a family more than 2, in my opinion. The fryer works fantastic and I only have one complaint. There is an area on the rear of the fryer that collects oil and is difficult to clean. Imagine opening the lid and having all the moisture run to the back hinge of the lid. The oil that collects doesn't get into the rear hinge, but it collects in a small crevice that should be easier to clean. It's a small nuicance though since the fryer really works great; it wouldn't prevent me from purchasing it again. Also, the top does detach from the base which makes is very easy to clean, I just throw it in the dishwasher after I clean around the rubber seal. You can also throw the basket into the dishwasher and it comes out looking great as well.

This is in regards to the reviewer who said the fryer has poor performace with battered foods. If you put your battered items in the basket and then drop it in the oil and don't stir it, then yes, you will have a mess as he says... However, this is easily worked around with one of two methods...

1. In order to cook battered foods successfully, you need to drop the basket in the oil first, and then place/wade your battered foods in the oil. This may sound a little dangerous, but if you're gentle, it's no problem at all. Emeril uses this method all the time on his show when he is frying a battered item. I've done it many, many times and have never had a problem, and I batter A LOT of foods. Now, with this process they will still stick to the wire basket as he mentions, but it is MUCH less. Once the item is in the oil you can use steel tongs to move it a bit to keep it from sticking. As long as you do this in the first few seconds, it won't stick at all and the rest of the frying goes flawlessly. If it sounds hard or like a lot of work, it isn't; it's actually quite easy. I batter shrimp, veggies, & oysters, and even though they do get a little stuck sometimes, it's nothing major, and it certainly does not "destroy" the food as he mentions.

2. The other method that I've used a lot is to not use the basket at all. Sometimes when I want to make a Blooming Onion I will need to remove the basket so that I have enough depth to the fryer so the oil with cover the onion. I am able to fry a medium onion that is battered, but it is a tight fit. In order to get the onion out, I use an "All-Clad Stainless Skimmer" that I bought here on Amazon. It works perfectly for fishing stuff out of the oil when you're not using the basket, but any similar device that isn't flimsy would work well too.

One other thing regarding the oil. If you've never purchased large quanties of oil in the grocery store, look to see the prices...it tends to get expensive very quickly. Before I purchased this fryer, I read the reviews about it saving oil and how great that was. Well... that wasn't a big selling point for me at the time, but now, whenever I have to fill up my fryer and buy more oil, it's the feature that I love most. I really does save A LOT of oil.


->Prices DeLonghi D895UX Cool Touch ROTO Electric Fryer

I thought the idea of the food not staying in the oil for the entire cooking time was a good idea; and maybe it is. However, our deep frying is mainly batter fried foods like coconut shrimp, fried oysters, etc. With this unit the batter will flow through the wire basket and stick to the basket. This makes it impossible to remove the food without practically destroying the food in the process. It seems to me a nonstick basket would be an excellent idea; I guess the DeLonghi engineers never thought of that. It may work just fine for french fries or breaded food; I don't know. If batter fried foods are your preference, stay away from this unit.


->Discount DeLonghi D895UX Cool Touch ROTO Electric Fryer

Although DeLonghi makes a good deep fryer, please consider the cost of replacement filters before you buy. DeLonghi replacement filters do not last very long and they are not easy to find. If you buy them directly from DeLonghi America, one pack of replacement filters can cost as much as $32.00 plus $4.50 for shipping! (Amazon does sell one type of replacement filter for $17.99, but your DeLonghi deep fryer might not use them.) One pack of replacement filters usual includes 3 sets of filters. The 6-piece set includes 3 carbon filters and 3 oil vapor filters. If you use your DeLonghi deep fryer often, the cost of replacement filters could easily exceed the cost of the DeLonghi deep fryer in one year! It could be less expensive to simply buy a brand new DeLonghi deep fryer each time you run out of filters. Just food for thought!


->Deals DeLonghi D895UX Cool Touch ROTO Electric Fryer

I think this fryer is terrific. It uses less oil than others, heats up quickly, lets you reuse the oil, and is pretty easy to clean (even for us lazy folks). My favorite things to fry up are vegan fried chicken (wheat meat) and vegan chicken-fried steak, as well as falafel, tofu, sweet potatoes, and mushrooms. It's not hard at all to get everything cooked to perfection: if you don't like the way it looks when you raise the lid, just close it again and drop the basket back down. The digital timer is very convenient.

One recommendation for reusing oil after frying something battered: when draining the oil into the container, definitely use the yellow filter basket. Monitor the oil by keeping your fingers on the red rubber outlet hose. If the filter basket fills up too high, the oil will flow through the overflow holes into the container and miss the filtering. Just squeeze the tube closed until the oil drains through the filter, and let more out when the filter has emptied. This way the oil will be clear and free of batter, and will work much better the next time you use it. Also, if there is a great deal of "sludge" left at the bottom of the fryer after the oil has been drained, you can scoop it out with a paper towel before rinsing the non-stick basin with soapy water.

The very first time I tried to use this fryer the roto feature stopped working ruining about 8-9 pieces of shrimp which I thought was a small portion for this fryer. I looked into the bottom of the unit and could see that the drive mechanism was not turning ( it was not because the basket was not engaged in the drive mechanism )After reading another review where the person experienced the same problem and stated they dropped the appliance off to the goodwill I am returning the fryer for a refund. For the price of this fryer I would expect much better quality.

What I think this machine does fairly well is _small_ batches of french fries.

It does not handle battered foods well, nor I have found it an acceptable replacement for stove-top deep frying of spring rolls and won ton.

The thermostat is certainly handy, but I share another reviewer's annoyance at how easily the basket falls off the mechanism (it's not like there's a huge margin for error in deep-frying, and doing the "Oh-my-goodness-how'm-I-gonna-get-that-thing-out" dance while the food is getting darker and darker does not make me especially happy).

I also do not find the oil drain easy to operate.

So I'm back to stove top methods for most deep frying. Take a heavy pan with tall, but not too tall sides...

->Prices DeLonghi D895UX Cool Touch ROTO Electric Fryer

After two uses, the basket stopped turning. Two months with the Delonghi authorized repair technician, and I finally got it back. Well, my experience with tempura was miserable (...). The batter oozes through the mesh and pollutes the oil and sticks to the mesh (making it virtually impossible to remove). Also, if you have anything that is taller than a small mushroom, parts of it will not be submerged in the oil (read: won't fry) The unit is for very small batches of flat, dry type foods (breast strips in panko crumbs or the like). I had a "cheap" $... Salton fryer which worked better. The Goodwill wound up with it after I got my prized Delonghi. Boy, am I ever sorry.

I cannot believe this company has the nerve to provide an operating booklet that is of NO HELP... Most comapnies provide you with a complimentary cook book. Not DeLonghi. They provide an [inexpensive] paper outline of the product. I am also not happy with the way the basket keeps falling off the roller when you try to lift it in and out of the fryer. It does fry well, but I am very displeased with both of these problems. If I did not throw out the box, it would be returned.

For home use, this fryer simply cannot be beat. We're on our second, after my mother-in-law convinced us to give her our old one. The first roto-fryer we picked up, some 10 years ago, is still in operation at the in-laws house. Of course we're even more pleased with the newer fryer as they added teflon to the interior for easy cleanup and a drain tube, which makes cleanup a cinch.

This will cook about the healthiest deep fry around. We have had several deep fryers over the years, and none are as crisp and grease free as the roto fryers. It is no gimmick; it really works.

Some here have complained it is too small. It doesn't take that long to cook items in there, so if huge portions are your thing it won't take that much longer. It is average size and will easily cook servings for 4...or should I say recommended serving sizes. Some have complained about liquid batters getting stuck in the basket. As a fast food worker in my teens, this will be true of any backet I've ever seen. Easiest way around this is to pick up a piece of stainless steel screen from your local hardware store to place in the basket, and any basket will cook all the tempura you can throw at it. Or you can pull the basket, although the whole purpose of this fryer is to move items in and out of the oil and it doesn't really contain that much oil.

So if plugging up your heart and huge portions are your thing, I'd look elsewhere. If you want a healthier choice in deep frying, easy cleanup, save on your oil use, etc., give this one a try. You will not be disappointed in the final product.

We've used other kitchen items manufactured by DeLonghi in the past and were very well pleased. Sorry to say that was not our experience with this deep fryer.

First of all, the capacity is small so for a group of four, french fries, for instance, we had to repeat several times to get adequate servings. The meatier pieces of chicken were not done, and the oil appeared even cloudier after use than it did with our old deep fryer.

We're in the dumps with this DeLonghi!

->Buy DeLonghi D895UX Cool Touch ROTO Electric Fryer

It cannot be used to fry battered fish or shrimps, they stick to the basket and are miserable to get out! Any wet batter runs through the basket mesh and seals itself to the basket and sometimes the bottom of the oil holder. So don't try tempura or fish & chips.Breaded frozen fish are OK, but you can do them in the oven. Chicken wings are also OK.

I purchased the DeLonghi Rotating Deep Fryer F-895 after reading the excellent reviews in magazines and on line and liked the fact that you didn't have to use as much oil as the traditional fryers. I don't tolerate reheated oil very well so I only use the oil 2/3 times before dumping. There is NO ODOR while the food is cooking which was a plus since I don't like to smell food odors after I've eaten. I intended to only use the fryer once a week, but found myself using it 2/3 times a week - LOVE THOSE FRENCH FRIES!

The only problem I had with it was size. I have a family of 4 and found that I could only cook small portions of food at one frying. By the time I had dinner ready, I would end of cooking about 3/4 portions which took me 35/45 minutes to complete. If I cooked chicken legs, they had to be small. If they were on the large side, it took longer and sometimes the chicken would toughen in the process. Overall, this is an excellent fryer if you keep to small boneless pieces. French Fries were delicious as well as fried vegetables.

The DeLonghi Rotating Deep Fryer makes an excellent wedding gift for couples; however, I would not recommend it for families larger than 3.

After watching a QVC advertisement, I ordered a cook's essentials 3.5qt cool wall stainless steel deep fryer and am anxious to see how well it fries food. This is a large fryer and hopefully I will be able to deep fry everything in 1 or 2 fryings. As far as odors are concerned, I'll cook outside.

I will do a review on this fryer in about 3-4 weeks.

The fryer is easy to clean and produces top quality results.

Cleanup is the best thing about this fryer.


->Deal DeLonghi D895UX Cool Touch ROTO Electric Fryer

I recently purchased this fryer from.... I am very pleased with the fryer. This is the Cadillac of deep fryers!

Pros: Cool touch sides. Digital timer. Rotating fry basket. Uses about ½ of the oil of other deep fryers with same results, giving it considerable advantage: save money on oil. Quiet operation. Easy cleanup: simply slide out the oil container tray, slip in the container with filter and drain the oil from the drain spout. Inside the fry basin is Teflon so it simply wipes clean. Window on the top lid allows you to see your food as it cooks. Odor filter in the lid reduces cooking odors.

Cons: Fry basket did not engage the fryer and would not rotate. However this was simple to fix, just bend the bottom of the basket slightly and the problem is fixed.

To summarize, I have done a lot of research on deep fryers on the market and I found that this fryer was the best pick. The instructions that come with the unit are easy to read and understand, they explain the operation of the unit thoroughly. There is also a temperature and cooking time chart that is helpful. I found that the food cooked a bit faster than the chart stated. If you are looking to buy a new fryer, I would recommend this fryer!

I was thrilled to receive a DeLonghi D895 Cool Touch ROTO Fryer as a present this Christmas. It was beautifully high-tech and (I thought) nicely suited to making deep frying interesting. I do a lot of cooking and entertaining, and this machine looked like just the thing to make fried foods less messy and greasy. I had hoped to have fun making falafel, fritters, even sopaipillas in it.

Unfortunately, the unit comes with no cooking instructions beyond warnings such as not to lift the basket while the lid is closed; there's nothing about how to load the food into the basket, for instance. There are no sample recipes to suggest how to adapt your own recipes to this complex machine...

-> DeLonghi D895UX Cool Touch ROTO Electric Fryer

I bought my Delonghi roto fryer about a year ago, and it is one of the best purchases I have ever made. So far it has been dependable and easy to clean, and I am LAZY when it comes to cleaning up in the kitchen. The mechanism for draining and filtering the oil is easier to use than even Delonghi's marketing materials indicate. This same mechanism makes cleanup a snap. I just squirt some dish washing fluid (I use Dawn) in the bottom, pour in a couple of liters of hot water, let it sit for 5 minutes, then just wipe with a paper towel and drain the water through the oil drainage tube, right into the sink. A couple of rinses and a quick wipe down to dry the inside, and the fryer is ready to go. And this is after using it 6 times without cleaning it, and letting it sit for a month (I told you I was lazy).

An accident prompted me to look into getting a deep fryer in the first place. I was really craving chicken wings one night, and decided that I could use my wok-shaped stove-top pan to heat the oil and cook the wings. This worked fine the first couple of times (except for the huge mess it made), but the third time, the oil boiled over and caught on fire! It went out by itself, but I had the WORST mess to clean up. Of course, it could have been much worse, and I decided that a wok is just not a good choice for deep-frying. Safety and convenience became top priorities in my search for a "real" deep fryer.

I use my fryer primarily for cooking wings. The only problem is the small capacity; it will only cook about 7 wings at a time. You have to lay them flat; if you pile them up, the ones on the top won't be in the oil long enough to cook. I also have had difficulty with the rotary mechanism not catching the basket. At one time, I almost always had to "assist" the mechanism by pushing and pulling on the basket with a fork while it was down in the oil until it would catch. However, this problem mysteriously vanished about 6 months ago, and it works perfectly every time now.

Many people still believe that frying foods in oil is inherently unhealthy. Nothing could be further from the truth. I am a big proponent of low-carbohydrate eating. I have lost 50 pounds so far, and have more energy than ever before in my life. This fryer has really helped me stick to my low-carb regimen, which has lowered by blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Contrary to popular belief, you are NOT what you eat. Sugar and simple carbohydrates (white flour is the classic example) are converted into fat MUCH more readily than dietary fat, which must be broken down and assimilated before it can be converted into storable fat. The notion that foods high in fat cause heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and obesity is actually a myth (a lot of research supports this statement). A high-fat-high-carb diet on the other hand is a KILLER. Get the carbs out of your diet if you want to be healthy and avoid the "diseases of civilization". There are lots of sites with detailed information and references on this topic, so I will not say anything more about it here, other than the Delonghi roto fryer has saved me from temptation many times, because it is just so easy to use, and the results are delicious.

I have to admit, I had wanted to get a deep fryer to make my own french fries for a long time, but had the fear that sometimes goes along with one, such as the fear of cleaning up and the fear of safety. After buying the DeLonghi Fryer and using it for the first time, my fears quickly went away. This must be one of the easiest fryers on the market to clean and it's not a chore to bring it out to use it, knowing that you're going to have to clean up the mess afterwards. I've done quite a bit of frying in this fryer - french fries, sweet potato fries, donut bits, fish and battered veggies. I have not been disappointed with anything that I've made. The quality has been really good. If you're like me and you're afraid to get a fryer because of the cleaning factor - this is the one to get. You can't get anything easier to clean than this one. I also love the fact that this one uses less oil. Let's face it, deep frying isn't exactly health food, but the tilt system they use on this fryer to use less oil does help to eleviate the guilt a tiny little bit. :)
