I had read before buying only times the negative reviews and ordered the device with caution. Meanwhile, I had this deep fryer is now already repeatedly say in use and needs: a perfect device for the price !!! Of course, there are differences to a unit of "100" - class - but: you need all this? The fryer purchased has a distinct advantage over other devices known to me: it can be truly complete disassemble and therefore perfectly clean - and for me is just hygiene when cooking particularly important. The device can be controlled by thermostat prima, on and off, retractable basket, simple but safe handling - what more do you need? Everything else is bells and whistles to it unnecessarily paid - and an egg timer that is missing the device has anyway everyone in the kitchen ... The lid does not jump on accidentally and the basket and hooked anywhere - determine any deficiencies.
