We have had this for 6 months and do alot of fish frys!  Beware that there is a smaller fryer that is easily mistaken for this. Is is incredibly easy to wash in dishwasher but does take the whole dishwasher. Also do not store oil pan on end as directions say or you will be sorry.  Other than that the fryer is amazing. Highly recommend.  Has not caused any tripping of our circuit either.
