After the usual fast delivery through Amazon, I had to try the part of course immediately.
The first impressions were very mixed. The fryer does not matter in weight a stable impression, the plastic parts used (agitating, handle) more.
Operation with only two buttons is simple. One button turns the unit on / off, the other is for the timer.
Unfortunately, the timer does not control the operation but runs completely independently. Moreover, it requires its own battery, which is completely idiotic in construction because the fryer must be anyway connected to the socket.
At the end of the set time, the timer will beep very modest, but does not switch off the device. The relatively loud operating noise through listening to the beeping very easily.
I can also put an egg timer next to me.
Additional settings (temperature / agitation) are not provided, a little more ease of use I would have expected!
The special feature of this model ("snacking") is a supplied wire basket, which you can use instead of the stirring. So delicate foods (eg chicken parts) will not be smashed and crispy succeed. Whether the Aufpeis of almost 50, however - is worth the simpler design, everyone must decide for themselves.
And how are now the fries? In fact, very good, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and not at all greasy. For frozen chips no oil needs to be added, with fresh potatoes reached a scoop. A
Portion takes around 25 minutes, which is acceptable.
Therefore, I keep also this French hairdryer, although it is overpriced mercilessly for the offered technology. And how long will the windy plastic parts, only time will tell ...
