I like it. Sturdy, unlike my older, cheaper deep fryer, which had an unstable feel to it. Timer is helpful--prevents leaving it on accidentally. Basket is larger than most, so items like FF can be spread out and fry quicker. Only downside is that this model is a little bulky (its squarer than most), especially if you live in a place with limited storage. And there's no real place in/on the unit to store the detachable cord. But this one looks like it will last a long time, and I'm glad I bought it..

After about a monhth, I have been pleasantly surprised at the power and convenience of this cooker. It easily stands above other cookers like the Fry Daddy and such in the time it takes to reach and maintain the desired temp. I bought it mainly for frying fish and it works great. The timer is a nice feature in case you forget to unplug or turn it off. I recommend this one to anyone needing fast heat and ample pot size and will buy it again when this one breaks or wears out.

We purchased the T-Fal Family Pro fryer about 4 weeks ago. It may be our downfall - we've never eaten much fried food, but this makes it so easy - and quick, and much neater than frying on the stove, that we have been having something fried about twice a month.

The first thing I did was a huge batch of chicken fingers - actually cooked in 3 batches. Each batch was about 9 fingers (I made them myself, not frozen) and they cooked perfectly. I was finished in under 25 minutes.

I've also done french fries, potato chips, sweet potato chips, three Indian dishes (on two different occasions) including pakoras (several kinds) and samosas. I'm not sure, but it seems like less grease is absorbed by the foods than when frying on the stove. This is based on the amount of oil that needs to be "replaced" before reusing the unit.

Clean up is easy - as is cleaning the entire unit. After doing some okra there was a lot of corn meal in the bottom of the unit, so we strained the grease, washed everything well and since it was only the 3rd use of the grease returned it to the fryer to be used a few more times.

I would recommend this product to anyone considering a deep fryer, especially if they did large quantities of anyting. There are only two of us, but I frequently do lots of somethng or another (egg rolls and won tons especially, for the freezer)so didn't even consider a small capacity fryer.

The unit does get the counter under it very hot so I have been setting it on an overturned baking sheet. I also wish that the cord was just a tiny bit longer, so I would be able to place the unit farther from the edge of the center island counter where the cord must go over the edge to reach the plug - but can understand the safety concern of a short cord.
