Roach: I sort of which I got one with a basket, but for as little as I use this it's fine. Takes up very little space on the counter.

Tom: I haven't used it yet. My brother's worked great and decided to buy one myself. I have a bigger fry pappy(maybe name). It uses a lot more oil than the daddy. This one will be nice for smaller parties

Beto: Llega un momento que se calienta demasiado y quema por fuera los alimentos y no los coce por dentro

Margaret WilsonMargaret Wilson: Fry Daddy fries. I used coconut oil (that I bought on Amazon) that can take a a temperature as high as 425 degrees. I used a Candy Thermometer (also bought on Amazon) to check the temperature. The temperature reached as high as 400 degrees on the thermometer (maybe because it was on the metal and down low in the pot) it does heat up for sure. I made a simple yeast donut recipe to test this fryer out. BE SURE TO TAKE THE LID OFF BEFORE YOU PLUG IT IN AND LEAVE IT OFF UNTIL THE OIL HAS COOLED DOWN !

Bewildered.: What's not to like about this fry daddy. I like how the plug is magnetic. Makes it easy to take it off. If you ever had to unplug it in a hurry you can. If you bump the cord it won't just tip it over. Air fryers are nice but some things just need drowned in oil and fried.

FBD: So easy to use and clean.

Johanna D.: You need to make available lids just in case something happens to the on you have. For example:if the lid was put on too early and it melted. Accidents do happen. 😏

Sclaffer: My wife has used one of these for over 20 years! She mainly cooks frozen French fries which she first thaws then carefully dries. The temperature control is automatic, factory set and works perfectly. We use peanut oil and when heating she puts in one fry which will float to the surface when hot enough to cook then she adds a premeasured quantity of fries which take about eight minutes to be ready. More convenient than using the oven. Just let the frier cool, cover and store in the 'fridge with the oil in it. The magnetic cord improves safety. This new unit will likely be the last we will need.

D & MJ: I have been researching mini deep fryers for months. All I wanted was a small, uncomplicated fryer that didn’t require lots of oil and was easy to clean. Then I came across the Fry Daddy - the size looked perfect but it seemed like such a basic unit compared to the other more “fancy” deep fryers. For example the Fry Daddy has no temperature control dial and no wire basket. So I went to the manufacturer’s website and watched their video and learned that the temperature is perfectly controlled. The oil heats up and maintains a steady perfect temperature for deep frying. The reason there is no wire basket is that wire baskets take up area in the unit AND are very messy when removed, oil drips all over the place. That made perfect sense to me. Then I moved onto online reviews starting with America’s Test Kitchen whom I normally trust but they gave it such an awful review that I decided to read some of the comments and so many people who owned the Fry Daddy said otherwise, they were upset that ATK was recommending the fancier brands and not giving the FD credit where credit was due. I agreed, ATK can be very snobbish in their reviews. They also made fun of the plastic spoon...

Jeff A.: The Presto fry daddy is a very simple, convenient, easy to use counter top deep fryer. I recently purchased this newer version, but this has been my experience after years of use in my kitchen with the older versions. I don't seem much change in design but maybe some minor improvements...

Pros:
1. Easy to use and setup for small batch deep frying.
2. Not hard to clean if you clean within a day of cooking, and you're mindful of the outside of the pot where the electrical components are.
3. Perfect size for one to two people.
4. Presto (fry daddy/fry baby) deep fryers have been around a long time and have proven to be a reliable, popular, and simple to use deep fryer (I've owned a fry daddy and fry granpappy for years myself).
5. The small platform makes it easy to store in your cabinet.
6. I don't get grease splatter all over my range top by using a Dutch oven to deep fry on my stove.

Cons:
1. Grease splatter. Not terrible but you will always get some splatter around the unit when frying, especially if you drop foods into the hot grease that have a high moisture content. I use a large aluminum pizza pan under mine to help keep splatter off my...
