The fryer looks like a professional unit but smaller. We have added 3 liters of oil and fries made from fresh potatoes. The bowl has a marker for the amount of oil by Max 3.5 L and 2.8 L. Min It heats up very quickly. The temperature display automatically switches itself on reaching the temperature, and the fries are jerk twitch finished (about 14 min.). The taste is very good. Chicken thighs are also really great (about 20 min.) All parts (except the control unit) can be cleaned in the dishwasher. I think that's really great. The cleaning in the dishwasher can be done because the oil can be stored in the filtering oil storage system after each use. And although clean filtered! I had never a fryer which could be so easily cleaned !!!!! No complicated drain oil and filter, no sticky frying, this fryer is just great! From my well-deserved 5 stars
