Summary: Great while it worked 2008-10-12
Comment: When I first got this product it worked great. Fried food would come out perfect and the digital controls were a nice touch (albeit a bit of a hassle since it FORCES you to set a cook time).
Unfortunately, I didn't get to use it too much before it gave up on me. Despite me always being extremely careful to clean the heating unit (which is attached directly to the control panel in an extremely awkward design that makes cleaning up a hassle), my fryer has essentially stopped working. Everytime I plug it in, the temp reading jumps all over the place and eventually rests on "Err" and beeps. This will happen several times until it decides to work. Then it will heat oil for a while and give up.
I've noticed several other people having problems with this unit and the control panel giving up way before a reasonable life, and it makes me wonder if I'll ever trust another DeLonghi product. Everything else besides the control panel is solidly built, it's just a shame the entire product is ruined by a crappy heating and control unit with a premature life span.

Summary: The best deep fryer I have owned! 2007-11-14
Comment: My family is big on fried foods. We seriously use a deep fryer at least three times a week and have owned several. This fryer heats up super quick, clean up is easy and it has an automatic shut off. I have never had any problem with the food not coming out done.

Summary: Nice deisgn features, easy to use 2007-08-10
Comment: My De'Longhi fryer was purchased for me from Sam's Club. I had been frying with an old Fry Baby that my husband and I affectionately referred to as "Ol' Sparky" because of its tendency to spark where the plug attached to the fryer. The Fry Baby was so poorly designed that we made a list of what we wanted in an fryer and went looking for it.
1. Size. This fryer uses about 1 gallon of oil at a time, and in that oil can cook several cups of French fries (at a time). This means that we can have guests over and finish fries in two batches. The Fry Baby would take over and hour to make a comparable pile of fries.
2. Oil removal. We reuse our oil several times, and the Fry Baby required that we pour the oil over the top and through a funnel. The De'Longhi fryer has a spout neatly tucked behind the front door of the fryer so that once the oil is cool, you can simply open the valve and drain it into the container of your choosing. No more spilling, funnels, and mess.
3. Temperature control. Ol' Sparky had a dial marked "1-10" and we could choose our setting. This, of course, is meaningless and required us to rig a thermometer to the hot oil, and adjust manually. The De'Longhi has a thermocouple attached to the heating element that reports the temperature to a thermostat and automatically readjusts the temperature when you add food items to the oil.
Since we purchased our fryer, we noticed some other nice features.
4. The plug is magnetically attached. If you accidentally pull it, it comes away from the fryer rather than knocking the fryer and hot oil off the counter. (We operate ours further out on the counter than other appliances to allow the steam produced from frying food to escape.)
5. The loosely attached lid allows steam to escape (the Fry Baby had a nearly-sealing glass lid). Allowing steam to condense on the lid and the water to drop into the oil can cause it to boil violently.
6. This fryer comes in many parts. There is the outer housing (the silver base with blank handles and door), the heating element with electronics, the plug, the lid, the basket, and the inner container for the oil (with the spout). Initially, this seemed like a lot, however, because you can take it apart, it is very easy to clean. You can remove the heating element and clean it (it securely latches on). Once you've drained the oil through the spout, you can remove this part and clean it. And of course, the basket is removable. Usually, this is all that gets dirty when we fry.
I highly recommend this fryer. We have done lots of frozen French Fries (maybe 30 pounds worth) and other appetizers (such as jalepeno poppers) at room temperature. The De'Longhi responds well to the addition of frozen items by quickly readjusting the temperature.
Cheers!
