Customer Review: so disappointed with the quality!
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm not usually one to jump all over a product that just fails after one use, but come on, that's just unfair. I had high expectations that this deep fryer would save me from turning the oven on with stuff like french fries, onion rings, etc. I put the unit together, purchased two big bottles of canola oil, filled it just below the max line and attempted to fry 1/4 basket of frozen fries. It took 6 minutes to heat up to 375 degrees and 5 minutes to cook and they came out pretty good for a first attempt. You could taste the canola oil off them, but it's just trial and error with these things to get food tasting right with various oils, etc. So far, so good! Next day, attempted the same thing. Plugged in the power socket and immediately noticed that the ready light was on as well as the power light which usually indicates that the fryer is up to the temp dialed in. Problem was, I had just turned it on, so I left it for 5 minutes to see if it heated up...nothing but cold oil. Tried the reset button, nothing. Made sure it was seated correctly; it was. Spent another hour messing around with it watching both the power light and the ready light continuously on and praying it would heat up the oil...Failed. So, basically I received a defective product. Now, I could have just returned it for a replacement and tried it all over again, but I've lost confidence in the brand already. Reading other reviews; obviously others are enjoying this fryer, but if something fails on you pretty much immediately, you'd be skeptical of giving the manufacturer another chance, so I chose not to. I'll still look for a deep fryer sometime down the road and give it another go, but not for a while, because my confidence has already been shaken after using this one. Thank God for Amazon's easy return policy!
