I bought one of these because of the lid and the controllable temperature; and, the 5-star review. Don't know what the 5-star person received but the first unit arrived and I couldn't get the cord to stay attached to the fryer. It is a clever(?)design meant to easily pull away from the pot if someone should trip over the cord thereby avoiding spilling the pot. Apparently, the cord is supposed to be held by a weak magnet with it's shallow electrical sockets engaging short electrical pins sticking out of the fryer. Problem is that the magnet is so weak that it cannot support the weight of a few inches of the cord hanging out in the air. In other words, when you let go of the magnetic plug, the weight of the cord pulls the plug away from the fryer.
So, I returned the first one, thinking that maybe it was a bad magnet and Amazon had me a new one by the next business day (good old Amazon!)

I bought this item for small jobs. It heats nicely and is not nearly as messy as the old fryers with no top. Very easy to clean.

I ordered this little fryer because I had a craving for Lumpia but usually stay away from most fried stuff. So my needs where minimal. I like the compact side and the temperature control. But as someone else stated theirs arrived broken, and so did mine, it doesn't turn off. Not a deal breaker as yanking the cord does a good job of that. The short cords magnet stays on well and hasn't been an issue and it heat up quick.
If you fry a lot this might be to lightly built for you, but it gets used at my place about once a month to prepare side items, so it works out well.
Good light duty fryer, for a cheap price. Anyone using it regularly would want something more substantial.
