Donald Mulders: We purchased this deep fryer because there is only two of us any we did not want something large and/or complicated. The oil it uses fits nicely in a regular mason jar after we're done with it, and it is very easy to empty and clean out the fryer. Sure, the capacity is small, as you'd expect, but it is large enough to do a good quantity of french fries for the two of us with two batches.

Marcus: 1-Une des plus petite friteuse sur le marché seulement 10"x10"x10" avec 1,2L d'huile seulement.
2-Recommandé pour une seule personne, portion de 200/300 g seulement par "batch".
3-Fils d'alimentation de 36 " détachable, pour plus de sécurité, d'une construction simple et peut -être un peu légère.
4-Panier de petite taille 6" x 6" x 3"
4-livraison rapide.
Pas surpris mais pas déçus, bon rapport qualité/prix.

ereaderereader: Nice little unit. Worked perfectly fine for me. The basket is small, but that is expected since it is the design of this unit. To prevent over-crowding food amounts are limited. It worked for us, but it might be small servings of French fries or other foods or veggies for some users.

Upon receiving I unpacked it. Cleaned It. Plugged in but the power light stayed unlit even after checking all the connections; nothing! Moved power plug to other plug of the same outlet, and then the red power lit up and everything was fine:
Red Light on Left = Lit = Power On
Green Light on Right = Lit = @ Preset Temp
Both Worked Fine (I guess it was the outlet, but later both sides of the outlet worked fine?)

I tried the unit out with a series of vegetables and frozen foods. It worked fine, as long as you follow the
tips in the instructions like:
1 ) Put oil in (to correct level) BEFORE plugging in
2 ) Use the right temperature for the food being cooked.
3 ) Don't over crowd the basket
4 ) Lower the basket slowly AND then leave lid up for one minute (to let the steam out & not make soggy oily food)
5 ) Lift basket & let drain, about a minute to get the...

Chris Newman: This review is for the T-fal FF492D small deep fryer. I order Friday May 12, 2017 and it arrived Sunday May 14 with no outer packing other than the printed display box. There was a small ding to the inner container that holds the oil but too small to justify the trouble of a return. That ding could not have happened, based on where it was during shipping, so must have happened during production. I filled it with oil to just above the recommended level (which seemed very low) but when the oil was heated and my french fries added it bubbled up right to the rim, so over filling is NOT a good idea. I chopped up 2 medium sized potatoes for french fries and that maxed out the fryer. The oil took a little longer to get to the maximum temperature of 375F than I expected. I then added the potatoes and closed the lid leaving the fryer to do it's job. Which it did great. No smell and perfect fries.

I like the glass see thru lid and the fact that the handle fastens to the basket securely. I have had small fryers before where the handle would separate from the basket and it's contents as one removed the basket from the hot oil. That caused it to drop back in making a real mess as well...

CJC: As others have said, the temperature gauge on this fryer is not accurate. I've tested the heated oil with two different thermometers; one for oil and one for grilling that happens to be digital, and both give me the exact same readings. The oil does not heat up to the set temperature.

I've actually had two of these. The first came up about 30 degrees less than the set temperature regardless of where I put the thermometer in the oil. In fact the fryer's own reader is right next to the heating coils, which may be a design flaw, but either way the oil does not get as hot as you set it even next to the heating coils. I contacted T-fal support and all they wanted was all of my personal information without actually addressing my issues. They just kept asking me for all of my information and a specific number from the back of the fryer...not the model # for some reason. I finally gave them the information they asked for and they came back to me saying that the # was incorrect. I read it directly from the back of the fryer, but regardless, I gave them the model # instead and simply kept asking them if there was a way to adjust the temperature readings to more closely reflect what I...
