T-fal 3.5L Stainless Steel Deep Fryer with Basket for Home Use, 1700W, Deep Fryer with Oil Filtration, Temp Control, Digital Timer

Very nice, clean fryer. I’ve only made fresh French fries but the were so easy and perfectly cooked. Clean up was much easier than my earlier deep fryers because of the oil filtering and storage feature of this machine which by the way works perfectly well. Would recommend to my friends.

I did extensive research and read all the comments available from both Amazon and other websites, before I purchased this T-fal deep fryer. I misjudged the amount of time to heat up the oil; however, once heated, the capabilities of the deep fryer cooked my 6+ pounds (5 batches) of shoestring fries perfectly. The size of this appliance is big, and fortunately I have pantry space to accommodate. I also purchased the cover to also protect the fryer when not in use. Appreciated the tip from another reviewer to keep a baking tray under the fryer, while in use, to catch any (there were very few) oil drips. The oil filtration system works well (read the instructions) and can be easily stored for another use. All parts that are dishwasher safe cleaned up beautifully with no oily residue, and the heating unit can be easily washed with soapy water by hand. Recommend reading the instruction manual often, which provides clear instructions to operate this appliance with very successful results. Very happy with this purchase!

It's pretty great, after frying it filter the oil, easy to clean and no problem to reuse the oil.

I’ve owned this The T-Fal fryer for over a year & it is probably the best/most affordable deep fryer you can own for home use. It’s easy to clean. The oil filtration is the main selling point. Makes it very easy to store away. I’ve had no issues with this unit functioning properly. After over a year of use, the unit looks almost brand new still. As long as you drain the oil after every use & clean it out you should be able to keep it looking mostly spotless. THE ISSUES: The “oil bin” where the oil stores is made of plastic & that causes some issues. 1. You have to wait for the oil to be cooled off because filtering, otherwise you’d melt the plastic container (use cools in 45min). 2. THE LID DOES POP OFF WHEN TRYING TO FILL THE FRYER. My work around was to add 2 pieces of duct tape to the lid & that stopped the issue. I wish it was made of metal. Would be a huge improvement, you’d be able to drain the hot oil right away & I believe the lid could be better if it was all metal. It’s basically impossible to clean the plastic oil bin to a level where it doesn’t always feel oily. Plastic & oil don’t work together well. I believe the plastic may get micro fractures over time or something because after a few months of use I have noticed small dabs of oil on the counter when using the fryer. The fryer is still great but the oil storage part of the unit could be improved & would really make this thing the best. If you like to deep fryer like I do, worth considering this product until someone creates a filtering fryer with a better oil storage unit.

I've had this fryer for over a year and I love it. I've made a lot of fresh cut French fries and fried chicken (hot wings) through the last 30 years and this is the best fryer I've ever had and I've had a lot of different ones. When this one goes out I'll buy another one if they're still available. There are 3 issues that I think are flaws, the first is that it only has 1 light and it lights up when it's switched on and then goes out once it gets to temp. It should have 2 lights, red to indicate that its on and a green light to indicate when it's up to the set temp. Someone can cut it off and then forget they cut it off and hit the switch again cutting it back on. I actually did this once and didn't realize it until the next day and of course the oil was totally burnt. I unplug it now when I'm not using it. The switch is in an odd place on the side and should be on the top. They need to either have the switch on top so it's easily visible or have the 2 lights or have both. The last issue is the filter, it doesn't really have one which is great for cleaning purposes but all that oily steam comes out all over whatever is above it which for me is a cabinet. I was shocked at this when I first used it, I was kinda dumbfounded. Why would they not put a filter on it? I have a lot of replacement filters from other fryers I've had so what I do is lay a filters on top of the opening and lay a wet paper towel over top of that and it cuts down the oily steam tremendously. That catches a lot of what would be coating my cabinet. These are some pretty major issues to me but besides that it fries good and is a lot easier to clean and store oil than my past fryers. I read where people were saying it leaks oil when filtering so I place a metal tray under it to catch any spilled oil and I luckily haven't had that issue unless it's tilted and the oil container overflows. I have no issues with spillage otherwise. It's a great fryer and I guess I could leave 4 stars because of the flaws I've mentioned but... It's the best fryer I've ever had so I wouldn't feel right about doing that. Maybe they will see this review and address these issues, that would be great.

super friteuse, la meilleure que j'ai acheter et en plus elle est belle avec ses bandes rouge. fonctionne très bien , ventilateur intégrer pour minimiser les odeur ( ça fonctionne très bien). les boutons de control sont sur la façade dans le bas ce qui les protège du gras. couvercle très bien , pas de vapeur qui sort par le contour. le temps de préparation de l'huile est très rapide et la cuisson est vite et belle. facile à utiliser. minuteur incorporer. facile à démonter pour un nettoyage très simple. je recommande cette friteuse .

Not working since i recived ????

Funciona muy bien, el sabor y lo crujiente que queda la comida al freirla es estupendo. La comida no queda grasosa y lo que me encanta es que se puede filtrar el aceite por lo que se puede utilizar por más tiempo y facilita el transporte por si se requiere llevar a una fiesta o reunión. El tamaño es bueno, pero ahora que la he estado utilizando y viendo lo práctica que es, me hubiera comprado el modelo más grande para poder freír más cosas en menos tiempo. Altamente recomendable.

Not been used as not suitable for uk use as plug is American Wish I had been made aware of this when buying

Rated #1 on the market & lives up to its designation. Heats up fast, fries as advertised. But the best part is that it will self filtrate the oil with the flip of a switch. No more fumbling with a sieve to clean your oil for your next frying
