I got the deep fryer for Christmas. Its my first time using a deep fryer. Used it once to fry calamari. It worked like a charm.
I used the program setting for calamari and it came out delicious, better than restaurant.

Clean up was not too hard. Basket and inner bowl went in dishwasher, the rest hand washed easily. 

The best part was there was no grease splatter anywhere around the fryer. That was the main reason I bought a deep fryer, not to have a greasy mess around my stove and counters to clean up. I should have bought one years ago!

The construction is light weight but sturdy. I think if handled with care it will last a long time.

I would recommend this product.
