Thermostat on unit was faulty from first use...but call Presto (see comments) and PRESTO... I got a replacement on the way!

A few problems from the first use . The thermostat on the model we received was not working properly and the unit would not heat past 300 deg. After contacting the MFG. ( we bought it on prime in august 2017 but did not use the fryer until October 2017 so the window for free returns was closed throu...

Not terrible, but not very good either.

This fryer will not reach 375 degrees, the light goes out telling you it has but that's not the case. I let it sit and heat for 15 minutes give or take, and the highest I got was in the 340's. I attempted to fry some boneless chicken tenders, and had to finish them off in the oven because they would...

So far, this my second unit in about a week. The first one worked twice and then… nothing, wouldn’t turn back on. The second time, it only heated the oil too hot, and burned my fries (no, I didn’t leave them for too long!) Plus, the lid didn’t close well - like a video posted already. So far, the se...

Having a lid is great. However

It is OK for the price. Having a lid is great. However, be careful when opening the lid because it swings open quite hard and jerks the fryer. After setting the temperature to 375, measured the actual oil temperature with a thermometer and it was above 400; had to turn it down. Lowering the basket w...

Fryer OK, but can't find replacement filters for it!

My old fryer finally bit the dust so I found this one on Amazon at a fairly good price and bought some filters for it too. It came and I assembled it and have used it a time or two so far and it works OK. Now the rub. This particular fryer came with a carbon filter and I bought additional filters wi...

Good buy , good product - faulty design !!

I wonder what a cool dad I'll be if I end up burning my wife who is always on phone while cooking. This item works perfectly,does the job BUT why on earth is the lid left loose open on the right side ??? Water vapor and steam dropping every minuets ,like seriously - what were the engineers thinking ...

Does not get hot or stay hot

I like the design and idea of controlling the splatter and smell. But it does not get very hot! And will quickly cool down if you put more than a small amount of food in it. IF it actually got hot and stayed there, I would be thrilled. I just can't seem to find a good, quality fryer that really gets...

Newer model not as durable.

This is a replacement for an older model (we had for over 10 years). This version is not as sturdy or durable. The insert IS NOT dishwasher safe (the instructions mention this) so it is not as consumer friendly as the older model. I do not expect it to last as long.
