I live this little deep fryer. Although it takes awhile to heat up once it’s at the desired temp does an excellent job off keeping it there. Ez to empty and clean. Very help to have the temperature control and the little basket works great. I’ve had all kinds of deep fryer including a very fancy  built in one that was a huge pain to clean. Takes up minimal counter space. Great for small as well as larger tasks. Fir larger tasks it may take a little longer to get it all done but more than makes up for it in the ease of cleaning and use friendly simplicity
