    Very Nice For The Price

    The fryer looked very nice when I received it but, I had to take it back because it was much smaller than the one we have now. You can't beat the price for all of the features it has and it didn't look like it took up a whole lot of space. We use our fryer to fry chicken wings a lot. The Elite's basket was very small and looked as if it would only fry about 6 wings at a time. If you have a small family of three and use it to make fries or some side dishes it would be fine but, if you want to make a large batch of wings for the game buy something larger.

    I had a lot of recipes I wanted to try and this works excellently. Just haven't figured out how to keep batter off the wire basket.

    I bought this fryer after a lot of reading other reviews and comparing. It was a gift for my husband, who has used it many times while I'm at work. He loves the time-saving aspect of cooking with a fryer; and he just appreciates oil-fried, instead of baked, French fries.

    I have only eased it once so far but it did a good job. It is not for cooking a lot at one time but it does the job. There is a lot of moisture from the heat that gets all over it, but it fries well and very little odor.

    The perfect size to fry up batches of fries, chicken wings, onion rings, jalapeño peppers, etc. Just large enough to store away on the counter or under the counter.

    I have been looking for a fryer for a while and have compared many. I choose this because it is the safest with children around. It is very easy to use and easy to clean.

    I was a little reluctant to get this as it was just to 'pretty'. But I went ahead because the price was very reasonable compared to what I had been looking at in fryers. It was delivered to my house quickly and did not disappoint! Heats up quickly and love the timer and temp settings. Very nice.

    Love This Deep Fryer

    I love this deep fryer. It maintains the proper heat allowing items, such as fried chicken, to cook crispy on the outside and remain moist on the inside. The size of the unit is easy to handle ando clean up is a breeze. The small foot print of the fryer means it does not take a lot of space. In fact, the clean up is so simple, I place my fryer back into to box until the next time. However if left out it is a beautiful item. Love the read. This fryer is a great deal.

    I work on commercial cooking equipment for a living and I work on a lot of fryers. I also love fried food and frying my own. This fryer is set up just like a commercial one just home friendly and smaller. Would definitely recommend and for the price you don't get much better.

    Great product for a small batch of deep fried. Quick, easy, and mess free. The only bad thing is that a “returned” product was sent to me instead of a brand new one.
