Advantages: Easy to use and clean.
Disadvantages: None

...and keep clean. Although the Tefal FR7009 is not the cheapest on the market, it is the best we have come across. Argos originally priced it at £99.99, but reduced it to £79.99. It comes with clear instructions and is very easy to use. Full marks to Tefal for the Automatic Oil Filtration system, which allows the oil to drain away safely in its own container housed in the base of the unit after the cooking has been completed. It takes all the guess ... Read review

Advantages: Soooo easy to clean
Disadvantages: Bulky, takes up more room than a conventional fryer

...hope I stumbled across the Morphy Richards 3-in-1 basket fryer; it appeared to be everything I wanted. On first sight you have a large fryer. Inside are 3 baskets, one large, and two small. The beauty of this is you can use the large basket for your family portion of chips, but, if you are cooking a small meal for two you can use the two small baskets, one for chips, and the other for your fish or whatever else you are frying. The next test was ...
...of Comet and took the fryer to pieces, much to the embarrassment of my daughter. I was impressed. The whole unit comes to pieces. The bowl lifts out completely from the unit and then the control pod at the front can be removed. You are left with the carcass, the lid, the bowl and the baskets, taken apart in seconds and ready for easy cleaning. The beauty of being able to remove the bowl is that you can then take it away and discard your oil easily. ... Read review

Advantages: Removable lid which is dishwasher safe
Disadvantages: Everything else

...experience. Having just purchased a Delonghi F603 deep fat fryer, believing Delonghi to be a reputable company, I am appalled by this fryer. In fact the item I have cannot really be called a fryer. It takes over 15 minutes to preheat, even then not reaching a frying temperature, merely slight bubbling, resulting in warm soggy greasy potato pieces, rather than chips. Despite turning the temperature control to maximum, and setting the timer to 30 ... Read review

Advantages: lid is removable to go in dishwasher, doesn't need that much oil
Disadvantages: does not product crispy chips no matter what potatoes or oil you use

I have always wanted a deep fat fryer for those few occasions where you really fancy chips with a meal. The Delongie F603 Chips came my way a month ago. I have now used it 5 times for chips and every time I have been horribly disappointed. I have tried different potatoes, different size chips, drying them out completely, different oils and every single result has been soggy slightly brown round the ends chips. Not only that the steam that comes from ...
...wallpaper off your kitchen ceiling. I thought the fryer must be faulty but then I tried it with scampie and the result was absolutely perfect and again tiger prawns making my own batter this time, the results again perfection. As it is called "Chips" and really that is all I wanted it for I can't see any redeeming facts. It isn't expensive and it does have all the features like removable lid for dishwasher, fairly odourless but I can not get my ... Read review
