The capacity is not huge (it is suitable for 2-3 people, otherwise you have to fry her in installments), with the advantage of a relatively compact machine, although I would have preferred a slightly shorter fryer (42 cm deep, without the basket handle), even be wider Nothing to say about the power (about 23 cm, carrying handles included.) with 2,000 W, 3 liters of oil quickly reach the right temperature.
The device is very simple design, especially because of the separate strength of the tank, and the overall look is frankly flattering. But upon closer inspection, the finish appears just passable. The instructions are poorly conceived, for once it is not the French who sins: the practical aspects of cooking, breakdowns or cleaning are hardly mentioned ... Solid fats (Végétaline ...) are prohibited as well as the passage of the various elements in the dishwasher - big negative for me.
The fryer includes thermal protection we can rearm through stick taped to the back of the fryer (!), The record does not seem to explain this system ... I do not know if the problem happens often, but that is very useful to know if one day the fryer seemed inoperable.
This fryer is not flawless. Thus, the cover, very fine, easily folds and it is not contiguous with the tray. Plastic assemblies seem acceptable quality, however the basket is not right (not very stable) on my copy. There is play between the tank and the electric block, which tosses a little too easily. There are no anti-odor filter (on default, given the very temporary effectiveness of these filters ...) but the lack of drainage on the lid to impose its fries without it. Moreover, the electrical cable is too short (as usual!) And the only button frankly lack precision to set the temperature. I would also have appreciated a timer that cuts power when you reach zero, careful not to leave the machine unattended; it is strongly advised to unplug the fryer after use, given the absence of a real button on / off. It should finally be noted that the temperature sensor (which is immersed in the oil bath) seems rather fragile and not at all protected (see photo.)
This machine works perfectly this time, the fries are excellent (especially with new oil of course), hoping that the reliability is at the rendezvous. However, it can legitimately hesitate fryers with more known brands, some are not much more expensive, even among the rectangular stainless steel models.
