Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is the first fryer I've owned and I’m very pleased with it. The design (with the removable controls and heating element) allows the pan that holds the oil to be completely removed for draining and cleaning. As others have mentioned, the cord is short for safety reasons. The plug that goes into the back of the fryer is held in place by magnets so if you try to move it, it comes out. This isn’t a design flaw but another safety element. The unit is rather large compared to the size of the pan that holds the oil but that extra space provides insulation and keeps the exterior rather cool. I imagine the larger the capacity, the larger the unit is going to be. This is a good fryer for a one or two person household. P.S. It’s cheaper in a store and you may even find it on sale.
