T-Fal Uno 2.2-Pound (1.6L) Cool Touch Fryer

I actually received this free using reward points from my credit card, so I did not acquire from Amazon. However, I was curious to see how it stacked up against the competition, and seeing reviews here I had to put in my 2 cents.

I did not expect this small unit can fry well at all, but I was wrong. It really works well and extremely easy to use. Ultimately this item is easy to clean. If you are cooking for entire family, this item may not work but if you are a working person and living in a small space like me, you would love this item.
