4Good, but takes too much time to heat the oilJan 17, 2006
By Kaushik Lodh
I have no excuse for buying a fryer, I have a high stress job, am an ex-athelete, whose eating habbits have gone down the drain. Buying a fryer, especially one as good as this, has further added to my fat and cholestrol intake.

This fryer comes from a very good design house, DeLonghi based out of Italy makes some really good products, but be advised, this unit is : "Made in China". So it is not that well built. The outer body is thin sheet metal which will bend very easily.

But that said, it has a solid inner oil chamber and a good and solid frying basket. What I like is the concern for customer safety, often at times, a person might mistakenly pull a power cord and trip the appliance. Now if you do that with a fryer filled with boiling hot oil....I leave possible implications to your imagination. The DeLonghi takes care of such an eventuality by 2 very simple, basic, yet very effective principles.

1) The power cord is short, so you wont have any extra length to get entangled in.

2) The power cord is connected to the fryer by a magnetic connection. Nothing plugs in, it is just held by a permanent magnet. So in case there is a minor tug, the power cord will disconnect, and you wont trip it.

Regarding operation, really it could not be simpler. I am used to complicated sequences and special dances which need to be performed whenever any new appliance is being used for the first time. So I picked up the manual, connected the unit to the power supply, filled it with oil between the min and max limits, and then looked up the manual for setting the temperature and timer. It was ridiculously simple. The unit automatically sets the temperature to 320, all I had to do was to press + or - to increase or decrease (respectively) the temperature. After that, you press the mode/start button now the timer display comes on, you press + or - to increase the time to the desired number of minutes. Then you press the mode/start button again, and the unit heats the oil within to the desired temperature and beeps to let you know when that is done. Now you immerse the basket with the goodies inside, and press the start button and the unit counts down the time till the timer runs out and then beeps to let you know.

The beeps are loud and clear, so if you set the unit in the kitchen, to heat up or are waiting for the food to be cooked, and you are seated in the living room catching a movie, even then you will be able to make out the beep. That is a good feature. God knows how many pizzas I have burned in convection ovens which never beeped loud enough for me.

The lid has a glass window, which is basically useless, because when you start frying, the vapor obscures the view. But thats not a major problem. I have never seen this sputter, so you can safely take off the lid to check how the food is being cooked.

There are 2 problems however.

1) The oil takes way too long to heat. Almost 12 to 15 minutes to heat from 68 degrees to 356 degrees. Thats a lot of power consumption.

2) The manual states that the unit must be filled with oil in between the min and max levels which are pointed out on the inner side of the container. Now thats kind of hard to make out after you have fried food in the unit a few times. The remains obscure the markings.

Apart from these few minor complaints, I am pretty pleased with its robust performance, ease of use and excellent quality. The food is always cooked to perfection. I have absolutely no complains here.

I would honestly recommend this unit, because of its safety features and great quality and the excellent brand name of DeLonghi. I do feel this unit is built to last.

Thanks,

Kaushik

5--Top Secret-- Don't Tell NobodyJun 25, 2005
By Deremiah *CPE "Inspirational Speaking Star & Author of "52 GREAT WEEKS""
This very well may be the first 4 and a half star Deep Fryer that I give five stars to because it's great fryer and with all of the digital applications it is very user friendly. This deep fryer is amazing with a nice digital angle and it's ability to hold the heat in and keep the smoke including odor down. If you've ever cooked chicken then you can appreaciate these benefits.

It is also quick to set-up, easy to use and it's ability to create piping hot food that doesn't taste fried and causes chicken to taste clean not greasy is great. I give DeLonghi 4.5 STARS.

.5 STARS is what they get for this neat little contraptions ease of breakdown for cleaning. I mean I broke this little baby down and with warm soapy water cleaned it up real nice and then dryed it off with paper towels and there it stood just as pretty as ever on the counter top...I almost took a picture of it and sent it to JD Powers.

So truly for a great cooking experience and an excellent clean-up I think it wouldn't hurt to have two of these in your house and this is your Servant Deremiah, *CPE signing out.

5Best fryer i've usedApr 12, 2006
By Charles Kimsey
I have been very happy so far with this fryer. It is the first one I've owned that gives good results every time. The unit convieniently comes apart for easy cleaning.

Pros:

Excellent results, cooks perfectly

Easy to clean

Built-in timer

Beeps when ready

Maintains precise temperature

Cons:

Timer can only be set to 1-minute intervals

Folding basket handle only folds INTO the oil

Sainless steel sides feel flimsy

Slow to heat up

1Worked Just One TimeDec 24, 2007
By christinemm - The Thinking Mother
We purchased this item from Amazon with the sole purpose of using it to make some traditional family foods on Christmas Eve.

The first time it worked wonderfully and was a great alternative to what we used to do which was fry outdoors using a big pot and a freestanding burner thing (such as they use to fry turkeys on). That one time that we used it the product was fantastic!

And this year to prepare two of our family's traditional foods for Christmas Eve we set the unit up and it did not work. After one second of a normal digital display, it changed to an error message ('err').

Indeed we did follow all the directions on the proper way to set it up (just in case you were wondering if we caused the problem).

Then we re-read the entire manual four times in its entirety to trouble-shoot. We also followed the directions regarding resetting the unit and it did not work. The owner's manual simply says then that if the reset button doesn't fix the 'err' message, to 'call a service center for service' if this error message keeps happening. How awful that on a holiday we are stuck with a broken appliance and that it must go for service after just one use!

We are very disappointed that this worked for our family exactly one time.

And since we bought it last December to use last Christmas Eve, it is now past the warrantee date and cannot be returned or repaired free of charge!

Adding to our disappointment and aggravation is the company itself. We are losing faith in DeLonghi. Recently our DeLonghi toaster oven (purchased from Amazon also) broke after less than 18 months of use. Both Amazon customer reviews for their toaster ovens and other comments on the Internet agree that this company's toaster oven is riddled with problems.

Our family plans to avoid buying DeLonghi products in the future.

1Waste of moneyDec 22, 2010
By E. Grossman "eddieg"
I have owned several deep fryers before but the Delonghi was promoted as a state of the art deep fryer. The deep fryer looked impressive but that's as far as it goes. It's a deep fryer! This unit has to be programed every time you want to use it. To complicated! Don't let the oil get on any of the plastic surfaces because the oil will destroy the plastic. The plastic bracket that supports the heating element deterioated on my fryer and I contacted customer support, The replacement part is more expensive than the original fryer! If you really want a quality fryer, don't buy this product. Get a basic deep fryer with manual controls. Keep it simple.
