Euro-Pro K4318 Professional 4-Liter Stainless-Steel Deep Fryer

I've had this fryer for almost a year, and it has performed nicely. We haven't seen the problems that others have.

For the price, I really like the features of this model. The 4 liter capacity is perfect to a hold a gallon jug of oil. The maximum temperature setting is actually 385, not 375 as described above. The controls are simple and straight forward.

I looked at a lot of other models before choosing this one. I liked the ones with "easy drain" features, but the space required for the drain took away cooking space, the upper temperature was a little lower, or they were more expensive.

We bought this fryer from Sears with the understanding it was suppose to be a great product. It would not hold a hot temp for crisp frying. Soon as you placed something in it, it took to much time to recover it's frying temp. It also just stopped working after only six months of use. I wouldn't recommend wasting money on this product.

Bought 11/2008 and control panel shorted out 7/2009 after using 5 times. Made in China. Spent 2 days trying to find a number for customer service and 1 day arguing with customer service in India to get them to honor their 1 year repair or replacement warranty. Finally got a new control unit mailed to me under warranty. I would not buy future Euro-Pro units due to lack of customer service and reluctance in honoring a written warranty.
