First of all, usual Impeccable service from AO.com, order and delivery without a hitch. The fact that this item is not quite what I hoped is entirely my own fault. It is a huge piece of equipment, takes up loads of space and though the oil drain feature is a good idea, in practice it is not so good. Please be careful using it, I managed to deposit a litre of oil all over my worktop, floor and myself when I tried to put it back in the fryer. The lid is very insecure and the pouring spout very narrow - a bad combination. On the plus side it has a large capacity and doesn’t get hot on top or sides. It does, however, take rather a long time to heat up compared to my last fryer (also a Tefal). With hindsight I wouldn’t have bought it and can see why it was reduced. I need a fryer so will keep it but hesitate to recommend it.

It does the job , be careful you don't fill part maximum or when you filter into box underneath it will overflow out of the machine ,this is not s fault with the machine but with the user , just a friendly warning, the machine itself is good

Likes: everything is dishwasher safe with the exception of the element, obviously. The filter is a great idea, as is the easily removable oil tank. Good selection of temperature settings and indicator light to show when temperature achieved. Not so much: Due to the design of the fryer the distance between the element and the upper oil level is not ideal if you want to fry battered fish. As suggested in the instruction leaflet I gently lowered the fish in to the oil using tongs, whereupon it promptly welded itself to the basket due to there being insufficient depth of oil to prevent this happening(It was filled to Max indicator) Will undoubtedly be great for chips - battered fish not so much.

Is not bad it do what supposed to be doing friying. Is super big and take more space than my old one. The only positive thing is you can clean your oil without the need of wasted. It take a bit longer than my old one to get hot but I repite this is bigger. The oil box is a bit difficult to empty back in when is needed as the lid is not secure and you only have a small hold in one Conner of the box , it was better if they put something to lock like clips on the side.

Cooks great only trouble we had was when we drained the oil to clean it leaked out on to side just make sure you don’t over fill it with the oil , delivered on time

Its big … apart from that the only negative thing is no hook for basket to sit … oil filter and storage is brill and will lead to buying less oil …

A bit on the bulky side but cooks well

Well nothing’s perfect Although Outstanding springs to mind here. Fabulous product at a chip of a price, delivered to my door.
