Kathy Fink: I love my new deep fryer, french fries and anything that I want to fry in a deep fryer coming out. Just this great as my other deep fryer. It's not very deep but it does what I needed to. It doesn't take long to clean it. Just for the old oil out. Wipe it out. Wash it if you need to, which is another thing. I can run water in it. I can clean the sides with water and soap because you can immerse it in water which is a good thing because if your family uses it, which mine does, they don't always make sure that it's cleaned up after cooking in it.

S_Richards: This is truly a weird product. A lousy product. Here's why:

1) Temperature does NOT go to 400f as advertised. Only 369. A correct temperature is imperative when frying Fries or coated products such as seasoned Okra or Zucchini. The Manual and Dial both indicate the temperature will max out at 400f. Using 2 (two) Instant-Read thermometers I found it only rose to 369. This is okay for most foods that need to be cooked at 350f.. but the RECOVERY is improper. When room temperature (or cold) foods are put into a fryer.. the temperature is going to drop. How FAST the recovery is and if it recovers to the correct temperature is the MOST important thing to know.

2) Lid does NOT have Steam Vent - Lid will NOT fit over unit when steaming. This is REALLY STUPID! The steam/fry basket comes with a REMOVABLE Handle. Okay.. but it's FLIMSY! To STEAM beets (which are heavy by the way ) or any other product.. one fills water in the bottom of the container and drops the product into the Steam/Fry Basket. Then the Steam/Fry Basket hangs on the SIDE of the electric container with a flimsy hook riveted to the basket. There is NO VENT HOLE in the Glass lid like many other lids. But it...

Rodney Davis: This item replaced an older model that was over 10 years old. I used it weekly for meal preparation. Some of the legs broke off, and the temperature control unit was becoming intermittent. Replacement parts would be more than a new one. So bought this new model. It's a little smaller than the previous model, maybe by 1 quart. But the next model up is way too big for me. I really like these Kitchen Kettles. I don't do any deep frying, but make soups from scratch and these are the perfect tool. You can sear the meat first in the bottom, remove it, add the stock, veggies, and other ingredients and slow cook those. Then add the meat back and let it simmer for however long you need. The perfect cooking tool for me. I will keep using this style of Kitchen Kettle for as long as I cook.

Lauren Mast: Small but does the trick. Holds temperature perfectly which is key for frying. Docked one star because the angle of the feet is awkward, causing it to use up extra counter space, and because the lid won't close if the rack is resting on top (out of the oil/water) which can result in burns. Wish the fill line was easier to see as well. But overall a great buy - we use this for frying beignets, potato chips/pub nachos, Scotch eggs, and more. I love that the plug has a tear-away section, so if you accidentally knock the plug near the temperature dial, or run into the power cord, it will come apart via magnet so you don't knock over the fryer and burn yourself. We've got small kids so it's a big safety win. Easy to clean with a soft sponge (don't use a scratchy one or you'll run the finish!) and a bit of Dawn.

David: Great fryer/cooker, Have been searching for two years for this particular size fryer. Bought this one based on the info provided but has one small issue, claims frying for 6 but based on the included basket 2 possibly 3 with very small proportions. But I can use the basket from our other fryer (identical) which is double the size and now cook for 6. This is the only reason for 4 stars and not 5.
