I bought this for my mother in law who loves to fry everything but had never had a fryer... To say that she loves this thing would be an understatement... She has fried some delicious meals, i write this review because she is a real hard person to buy for and usually the family just gives her gift cards but she really enjoys this machine and she has told me how amazing the multiple baskets are and handy they are for her fish and chips... how easy it is to clean. Now she knows that we love her because we got her something she would actually use.. So yes i give this 5 STARS hands down.
