I'm not going to lie, the product made me a little nervous when I first took it out of the box. The sides seemed a bit thin, there was a small chip on the oil pan, and a bit of the plastic that holds the filter in placed almost immediately chipped away. I know it wasn't a very expensive unit though and wasn't expecting much out of it.
I cleaned to remove any factory residue and filled it with oil the same day I took it out of the box. That evening I decided to make a batch of fries. The oil heated quickly and the basket held a reasonable amount without crowding. The fries turned out perfectly and I was able to do several batches in a very short time. Over the next several days we tried a number of things out including batter fried mushrooms, tempura, and potato chips. Everything cooked up great and without a fuss.
As someone else said, you need to be careful about how you remove the lid after cooking to keep the water that ends up there from falling into the oil, but it isn't particularly hard to master. I'd have likely given it a 5 star rating if not for those initial problems. I don't expect it to be great for years, but for the price it is an excellent deep fryer.

easy clean up
heats up well fast and the temp is adjustable
the top part that protects the oil from jumping all over the kitchen is perfect
no mess and my toddler that runs around won't get hot oil on him
i will say when you take the top off you have to be careful and not get any of the water that accumulates there land back in the oil because it will cause oil to jump everywhere its a little scary but if you do it fast and right you should be fine
when your done frying you can rest the basket just above the oil to let excess oil drip back in
so far everything I've made has come out delicious from onion rings to fried shrimp and french fries of course!

I was pleasantly surprised how well this fryer worked. Heated up fast and also between batches of food. Cleans up easy. Although it’s on the smaller size it handled the food well and was able to fry all food in decent amount of time.

Bought this on a special buy and have yet to be disappointed. Heats up quick, holds a good amount of food for frying. You leave the lid on with this fryer so to avoid grease splatters. Really gnarly fryer, I use it weekly.

Boyfriend loves to cook and this I the perfect deep fryer. However when we got it as open box, tags said no missing accessories and when he opened as his gift there was no power cord. We returned it but they didn't have anymore of this same one. Great to use.
