 Great for small batches Dec 19, 2009
By T. Baker
"Buttercream Barbie"
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.

Solid construction, stable on the countertop

 Works great but hard to clean Nov 29, 2010
By J. Lockard
This is my first home deep fryer. I really do like it. I use it maybe a few times a week on average, making my own onion rings, french fries, jalapeno poppers, wontons, ect. I live alone in a tiny apartment with little kitchen space so its small size is perfect for storing and making a serving or two of items if I have a guest over.
The only thing I don't like about this machine is how hard it is to clean. Without soaking (not submerging, just filling it up with hot water and soap) it's absolutely impossible to get all the grime off the inside and even with soaking I can't get everything clean. This was great for a first machine but it will be replaced soon with something easier to clean. After six months of use I can barely stand to look at it. It desperately needs a good cleaning that I can't give it without dunking the whole thing in water.
The temperature settings were great for a first time cooker as well, though now that I'm a little experienced I'm wishing I had a wider range to play with.
Overall this cooker has met my expectations; it looks great and is easy to store. It also has appropriate safety features. Because of how difficult it is to clean I will be replacing it shortly.

Easy Nov 01, 2009
By Beamer
This fryer doesn't take up a lot of counter space and is easy to clean. It cooks the food fast enough. Nice for frying small pieces and saves from getting your stove greasy. A timer would make it better. I haven't tried larger pieces to fry, but don't think it would work well for that.

Convenient mini-fyer Apr 22, 2010
By L. A. Tucker
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!
