This is NOT a commercial grade deep dryer. You're not gonna get three or four big chicken wings or breasts into this deep fryer at a time because it is just so compact. This fryer does not use a lot of oil which was my biggest concern when I first got it. Not a lot of oil means this is a very easy clean up. Just clean the frying basket, detach the lid and clean that, now you've cleaned most of it. Of course you have to wait a while to dump the oil and clean on the inside. Not a big deal. I love the size because it gets hot relatively quick, fries my food nice and crisp! I do small loads at a time, leaving what I put in completely submerged in the hot oil. This fryer has no problem assisting with the fried part of any meal for two, three or four people. If you need more, just turn the oven on to a low degree and keep the food warm and crisp as you fry more. There's a small filter on the top to take care of any rising grease. Hardly any odor comes through. The best part, no more messy stovetops!!! I don't have to fry anything in my pans, leaving food unevenly fried or burnt. Just remember, small machine, less oil, fry small portions at a time, removable lid and basket for cleanup, and simply pour the oil out after it has cooled down, sponge wash the inside and rinse it.
