Deeply Dissapointing

Strengths:

Looks - if you look from some distance- Quick disconnect cable

Weaknesses:

Poor build quality, inconvenient lid, gets hot as hell, filter is useless

Posted Sep 13, 2007 - I bought this fryer paying a premium over other models, thinking that I would get a quasi-professional quality fryer for our large household. Big mistake. First, once you inspect the appliance, the quality of assembly is poor: parts are missasembled, screws are not flush, metal panels are wobbly. Then, the manual warns: This is NOT a commercial appliance (I'm OK with that, the problem is it won't probably withstand heavy home use either). Once you use it, the whole thing gets hot as hell, with no thermal insulation at all. The lid does not have a hinge, and either you hold it with one hand while trying to drop the food with the other, or leave the lid on the counter and forget about it. The metal mesh filter is totally useless, and the smell of fried food escapes freely. In brief, I am returning this and buying a cheap $30 unit at Costco, which I am sure will do its job better and safer.
