Product Description

Enjoy crispier and tastier food with the De’Longhi Roto Deep Fryer with 1.5 lb food capacity. You can save on oil consumption by using half the oil of traditional fryers with the Roto Fryer’s tilted rotating basket, which also achieves crispier results every time. If messy, hot oil cleanup scares you away from using deep fryers, the patented easy clean oil draining system will help combat your fear. Simply pull out the hose stored in the front of the fryer and drain the oil into the included oil-collecting container The non-stick interior and dual filtration with included replacement filters also help with the easy cleanup and lingering odor protection. If your kids like to help with the cooking, you can feel safe using the fryer with them around because of the cool touch exterior walls, the detachable cord, which features a magnetic cord that easily detaches from the fryer if accidentally pulled and the patented condensation shield, which prevents oil from dripping onto the cord connection. You can check the frying progress without having to dodge splattering oil with windowed lid and outer cool touch handle. It raises and lowers the basket while the fryer lid is closed. Other highlights includes adjustable thermostat and digital timer.

This review is from: DeLonghi D28313UXBK Roto Deep Fryer, Black/Silver (Kitchen)

While Delonghi may have a good idea with the introduction of the D28313 Roto Deep Fryer, here are several things about which a potential buyer should be aware.
FIRST, many retailers are using descriptions of older model fryers in their advertising and descriptions of the D28313. For example, there is no included oil container in which to drain the used oil. The basket capacity is 2.2 lbs, not 1.5 lbs.
SECOND, you might want to know the cost and availability of filters when considering this model. Delonghi parts lists one filter, P/N 5312510071. The cost is $15.90 for one filter, which includes shipping and handling. The same Delonghi customer service department representative told me the filter may be used twice if frying fish. That means you must factor in $8 per fish dinner, plus you must order and have on hand filters sufficient for your use.
THIRD, there are no replacement filters available at any price. Delonghi doesn't have them and has no idea when they will. Filters for Series 5 and 8 fryers will not fit.
FOURTH, the owners manual (with the unit and online) says not to use the unit with clogged filters, but the manual makes no mention of using the unit without a filter. But then, one of the benefits of a closed fryer, namely, low odor, immediately is lost. The owners manual is so vague ("... if your unit has ..."), there's no telling whether or not use of the fryer without a filter would be hazardous.
BOTTOM LINE: Buy this fryer, use it two or a few times, and you've got a $100 paperweight. They're not the first company to get a product launch out of sequence, but at least until Delonghi decides they're going to support it, I'd stay away from this fryer.
Thank goodness for Amazon and their return policy.

I got this fryer for my husband for his birthday and it is wonderful. It is completely self-enclosed so there is no smell and you can actually use it in the house. I used to make him use his old fryer outside on the porch! It is easy to clean with the spout and uses very little oil compared to other fryers. Great buy and the best one I have ever seen.

This deep fryer is a well constructed unit and performs exactly as described. The deep fryer is rated 4 stars but non availability of parts is rated one star. The problem with this model is there are no filters available. When trying to cross reference the model number D28313 for a parts search, it does not exist. I have been in contact with DeLonghi and even they do not understand why there are no filters available. This is something to consider when buying this deep fryer. The filters Amazon sells are for a different model number not this model.
