T-fal 3.5L Stainless Steel Deep Fryer with Basket for Home Use, 1700W, Deep Fryer with Oil Filtration, Temp Control, Digital Timer

I did extensive research and read all the comments available from both Amazon and other websites, before I purchased this T-fal deep fryer. I misjudged the amount of time to heat up the oil; however, once heated, the capabilities of the deep fryer cooked my 6+ pounds (5 batches) of shoestring fries perfectly. The size of this appliance is big, and fortunately I have pantry space to accommodate. I also purchased the cover to also protect the fryer when not in use. Appreciated the tip from another reviewer to keep a baking tray under the fryer, while in use, to catch any (there were very few) oil drips. The oil filtration system works well (read the instructions) and can be easily stored for another use. All parts that are dishwasher safe cleaned up beautifully with no oily residue, and the heating unit can be easily washed with soapy water by hand. Recommend reading the instruction manual often, which provides clear instructions to operate this appliance with very successful results. Very happy with this purchase!

I've had this fryer for over a year and I love it. I've made a lot of fresh cut French fries and fried chicken (hot wings) through the last 30 years and this is the best fryer I've ever had and I've had a lot of different ones. When this one goes out I'll buy another one if they're still available. There are 3 issues that I think are flaws, the first is that it only has 1 light and it lights up when it's switched on and then goes out once it gets to temp. It should have 2 lights, red to indicate that its on and a green light to indicate when it's up to the set temp. Someone can cut it off and then forget they cut it off and hit the switch again cutting it back on. I actually did this once and didn't realize it until the next day and of course the oil was totally burnt. I unplug it now when I'm not using it. The switch is in an odd place on the side and should be on the top. They need to either have the switch on top so it's easily visible or have the 2 lights or have both. The last issue is the filter, it doesn't really have one which is great for cleaning purposes but all that oily steam comes out all over whatever is above it which for me is a cabinet. I was shocked at this when I first used it, I was kinda dumbfounded. Why would they not put a filter on it? I have a lot of replacement filters from other fryers I've had so what I do is lay a filters on top of the opening and lay a wet paper towel over top of that and it cuts down the oily steam tremendously. That catches a lot of what would be coating my cabinet. These are some pretty major issues to me but besides that it fries good and is a lot easier to clean and store oil than my past fryers. I read where people were saying it leaks oil when filtering so I place a metal tray under it to catch any spilled oil and I luckily haven't had that issue unless it's tilted and the oil container overflows. I have no issues with spillage otherwise. It's a great fryer and I guess I could leave 4 stars because of the flaws I've mentioned but... It's the best fryer I've ever had so I wouldn't feel right about doing that. Maybe they will see this review and address these issues, that would be great.

I did a lot of research before buying, including perusing Amazon reviews and having GROK AI do a comparison. I settled on this model, for a few reasons. 1) There were no complaints about the magnetic plug coming out. It does have one as a safety feature, and it sits solidly in the unit with no issues. 2) It's not digital. Yes, I looked at the super-fancy Breville, but a review from a chef advised that all of its digital presets were not accurate. So we went for a simpler, cheaper setup. 3) It has a great cookbook that tells you what settings to use. So far we've tried okra, eggplant and chicken. 4) The oil filtration setup. We did our research and of course said "NO" to using seed oils (seriously, why even suggest that?!). We settled on refined coconut oil, which is solid at room temp. This is very healthy and we've had zero issues with smoking, even though we've had it at the highest temp. 5) Everything is dishwasher safe. So last night, after making eggplant and chicken for stir fry (yum!), we let the oil cool for several hours and hit the filter setting before heading to bed. This morning, I dropped the oil pan, the lid (which keeps you from making a mess while cooking) and the basket into the dishwasher. Easy peezy. We're really happy with it so far!

Seems decent quality overall. The short of it: 1) Wish it would get 10-20 deg hotter. Doesn't seem to ever quite get to the set temp & sluggish. 2) Shallow oil depth. Pretty limiting on actually submerging items. 3) Electrical cord ridiculously short. Positives: 1) Easy clean. Oil storage works great. 2) Generally seems to give consistent results. 3) Main items with oil contact dishwasher safe other than element. 4) Decent size for family cooking

Not working since i recived ????

Not been used as not suitable for uk use as plug is American Wish I had been made aware of this when buying

Rated #1 on the market & lives up to its designation. Heats up fast, fries as advertised. But the best part is that it will self filtrate the oil with the flip of a switch. No more fumbling with a sieve to clean your oil for your next frying

Respecto el precio y la calidad, considero que esta es una muy buena opción, leí comentarios negativos respecto del enchufe, pero yo no he tenido ningún problema de ningún tipo con ella. La recomendo ampliamente, llegó antes de lo esperado, completa, en buen estado y es fácil de usar.

Ya hice más de uno con ella y resultó bastante buena la compra, fácil de armar, fácil de desarmar y fácil de lavar
