4.0 out of 5 stars Great little fryer!, July 7, 2011

I actually received this free using reward points from my credit card, so I did not acquire from Amazon. However, I was curious to see how it stacked up against the competition, and seeing reviews here I had to put in my 2 cents.

First, the small size makes it handy. Because of my obsession with cooking, I have many appliances taking up room in the pantry. It was nice I could still fit this in with them. The way the basket and handle collapse is helpful, too. Everything is easily washable and dishwasher safe, especially because of it's size. The one con to the handy size is it requires me to check often that things aren't sticking together. But that's no reflection on T-Fal or the quality of the product - I would have the same problem with any similar size unit.

Second, the unit works really well. The marks for the temperature slider on front make it easy to remember how long different things have to cook. Learning that the lid has a built-in filter was a pleasant surprise, since I have filter the oil after almost every use. The instruction manual could use some work, but at least it gives enough information for me to know how to take care of the unit and handle the oil.

Ignore the negative reviews. One user complains the temperature gauge broke. But if this were happening frequently you'd see more complaints!!! I sympathize with this individual, but that does not justify an instant 1-star rating. I wonder if they called T-Fal support for help or replacement? It's a fact-of-life with manufactured goods, sometimes parts break or assembly isn't perfect. That's what warranties are for.

The other user has a slew of bad things to say about the size and weight of the unit, but gives no evidence of it performing bad. He merely rambles about the size, weight or construction - this is a clear example of ad hominem fallacy.

Overall, I really enjoy using this product. I will consider T-Fal in the future if I look for a bigger unit (frying 2 lbs. of chicken won't be enough when my girl gets bigger.)

This fryer does a great job and with the lid on - no messy cleanup!!! This could have been a 5 Star rating but the electrical cord is too short.

I received this unit as a gift. I live in tiny apartment in Manhattan so I don't need any kitchen appliance that will take my space, so I never thought I could have a fryer in my kitchen. I did not expect this small unit can fry well at all, but I was wrong. It really works well and extremely easy to use. Ultimately this item is easy to clean. If you are cooking for entire family, this item may not work but if you are a working person and living in a small space like me, you would love this item.
