Euro-Pro F1052 Professional 2-Liter Stainless-Steel Deep Fryer

I had been wanting a little deep fryer for a while. I was tired of greasing up my kitchen whenever I fried chicken or whatever.I found this one for a reasonable price and picked it up.

First thing you should know, it's small. (which is what I wanted) It holds about a half gallon of oil. It only cooks enough for one or two people in one batch.

Second thing, it's extremely easy to use and clean. I love the removable oil bucket. It's easy to strain the oil and wash all the parts.

Third, it's small enough to leave on your counter if you use it several times a week.

Fourth, I love not getting everything around it covered with grease splatters.

The only gripe I have, and it's a small one, is that the timer doesn't beep. It only shuts off the fryer at the end of the time. So, I have to set a kitchen timer to remind me to check on the fryer. It's a great safety feature, but it's a lousy timer.

I have had this fryer for a week and a half and used it half a dozen times so far. The performance is good, fast to heat up and recovery time when food is added is quick. Clean up is a breeze, everything except the immersion heater and control can go in the dishwasher. It is adequate size for one person or for sides (e.g., onion rings) for several people. Frozen onion rings and buffalo wings come out much better than baking while scratch-made french fries and doughnuts are great. Very happy I got it.

This deep fryer worked well for the first few times I used it. Eventually, it started working sporadically, and I would have to press the button many times before it finally turned on. Then, it stopped working completely. I called for support, but they never answer. If you call the number, then press 3 for customer support, the call will end and you will never get to talk to a representative.

Basically, save your money for a better fryer and a better brand in general that actually provides the support that they promise their customers when they sell the product.
