Easy drain system works well - rotating basket is the major buying point
None as of yet

I have owned this fryer for over five years now. The model number has been altered - but for all purposes it looks the exact same appliance. The rotating basket at the time was the first available and the major reason I decided to buy it.

Compared to a traditional fryer which does not rotate the difference in how the food tasted - and how evenly it cook was a revelation. It did a much more efficient job in terms of oil used, odor and breadcrumb and batter residue left.

Alongside the rotating basket there is a built-in adjustable thermostat which ensures the correct temperature setting - the indicator light lets you know exactly the moment the oil temperature has reached its peak. After reading the manual you will appreciate that different foods like chips, chicken, fish etc. require a different temperature setting.

The lid also ensures no hot oil splashes out and burns your arms or more dangerously a small children walking close by. Without a lid closed and a viewing window your worktop will become a total mess. There is also a little handle on the outside you can use to raise the basket and view the food for a closer inspection through the window.

The specification of this fryer at the point of purchase was class leading, and all these years later it still seems to be there. I would not exchange this fryer for any other.
