I wanted a simple fryer without self-cleaning or automatic grease drain which is nevertheless really good. And that's what I get. Earlier my fryer ran out constantly and all the fat was distributed in the kitchen. That does not happen with this fryer. Nevertheless, we can grow using the supplied "screen / filter insert" the fat clean longer. The internal parts can all in the dishwasher, which I find very beneficial. For me big disadvantage is the fact that you can not lift the basket with the lid closed. It can be hung while, so that the fried food does not come into contact with the fat, however. Only with the lid open, which I find very unfavorably Especially for fries, which I gladly vorfrittiere shortly before serving to fry again that would be better. Dangerous when children are near in my opinion. Otherwise, I think the fryer great and would buy me back. Price / performance ratio.
