So far, so good! I just got this fryer this week and made fried corndogs and it works just as advertised. It is quite small so, you can only fry enough food for one or two people at a time but that's fine because I'm single! It does take a lot of oil but you CAN reuse the same oil 4-6 times, as long as you filter it, according to the instruction manual. Cleanup is a breeze. Great little fryer for one!
