Convenient mini-fyer April 22, 2010

This fryer is a great value for your money. It does exactly what it purports to do: it fries small quantities of food, at adjustable temperatures, and is small enough to be convenient for those of us without a lot of space. It's also a lot cuter than many similarly sized fryers of this type--which can be important if you're leaving it out on top of the counter most of the time.
It's small, so it doesn't use a bunch of oil, and we do usually just leave the oil in the fryer until it needs to be changed. It's lightweight, so moving it without spilling and cleaning it isn't really much of a hassle. And the exterior is very easy to clean because it's relatively sleek and simple. It works really well for exactly what it says it does: frying small amounts, like single/double servings of french fries. It does take a bit longer if you're trying to fry a lot, or something really dense like chicken legs/thighs, but that's only to be expected. And the food comes out great, with the perfect consistency.
The only thing we wish it had was a hook to hang the basket on for draining. It's possible to open the lid and balance the basket on the rim to drain, but you have to be careful it doesn't fall back in and splatter, etc.
Just a tip: we usually use the highest temperature setting, because any lower seems to be inefficient and take forever, so that doesn't really seem to be such a plus--but perhaps for different kinds of foods we don't cook it is and we're just unaware.
Overall, we are really please with this product, and it was a great value for the price. We use it constantly--and that's another great thing about it: it's small and we just keep it on the counter, so when my husband wants fries, we turn it on and it heats up really quickly, so it's very quick and convenient!
 Nice look, cooks well. March 11, 2010

I received this little fryer yesterday around lunch time, so I decided to give it a go, I made french fries with chicken nuggets. I was not disappointed.
Pros: compact size; looks good sitting on the counter (this is a plus because I don't have to hide it away in the cupboard; cooks evenly, every thing was nice and crisp; clean up was a cinch.
Cons: I only have two small complaints and that is that it doesn't indicate when the oil has reached the correct temperature but for the price that would be asking too much, I used a deep fry thermometer and that worked well. The other thing is that it takes a good 15 minuets to heat the oil, so if you are in a hurry that could be a problem.
All in all this little fryer is really terrific, much nicer than the Fry Daddy. I picked this one because of the aluminum interior, I don't like Teflon it always comes off. Well worth the money.
Great for small batches December 19, 2009

This is a great fryer for its size. Only 4 cups of oil, heats quickly. I have made yam fries, tempura shrimp/scallops and fried wontons. All were delicious and very crisp. Clean-up is a little annoying because you cannot remove the oil container from the unit. This is pretty much exactly the same as the FryDaddy with the addition of adjustible thermostat and fry basket and cover to keep oil from spattering when frying.

Previous owner of Fry Daddy (until it died) surprisingly pleased with the performance of this model
for thirty or so bucks getting the looks/performance of a professional fryer love the metal aspects of this fryer
seems like it will be easy to clean.
PROS
Aluminum interior conducts heat nicely compared to the insulating quality of the nonstick Fry Daddy interior, frys vigorously
Looks nice stainless exterior handsome professional quality
Solid construction, stable on the countertop
CONS
none yet
 don't buy December 13, 2009

Even though I turned the thermostat all the way up (to 390 degrees), it barely made it to 350 which isn't hot enough to fry chips, much less anything more dense. Mine is going back to the store.
