Have the fryer now for 10 months and have given me so far with a review period. And for good reason! I have the device so far more than 10 times and used'm extremely dissatisfied! From the cool-touch housing is indeed nothing to remember except the one duly burn your hands! Because the case is mistaken hot! The basket is too small - even for a 2 person household. The lid jammed constantly, and of the "relief in the kitchen" As described in the description you ever dream of, the cleaning is a Kathastrophe! After the second use of the device is almost impossible to clean. Since settling the greasy deposits in every crack and "eat clean" downright into plastic. Total disappointment! The 2nd star gets this deep fryer only because it apart from anything anyway fried!
