I have had many deep fryers through the years, but this one is the best one I have ever had. It is a very good product. It is well made and sturdy and it is so easy to clean. It has so many pluses like filtering the oil. This is so wonderful. I love the way it cook's evenly. I have used it for onions through fish and everything is cooked so beautifully. As I said, this is the greatest one!!
