Advantages: lovely healthy crispy chips
Disadvantages: expensive

Place up to a kilo of freshly cut chips into the cooking pan, then measure your preferred oil with the scoop provided, pour it over, and set the timer. Patented technology circulates hot air around your fries, whilst the mixing paddle evenly disperses the oil. The result is chips that are crispy on the outside, soft ...

...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: Good to cook with. Easy to clean.
Disadvantages: Rather large to store.

Kenwood DF520 I have found this fryer to be an efficient addition to my kitchen. It is rather bulky so advisable to have a cupboard to store it in, for, if you are like me, it will only be used on a few occassions. It cooks well with a good range of temperatures and has a reasonable sized basket for the food to be cooked. It is rather spoilt by the viewing window becoming hard to see through once cooking has commenced as it appears to steam ... Read review

Advantages: Great Fryer - with Coolwall - very easy to clean
Disadvantages: none so far

We bought this to replace our old Delonghi fryer and we havent been disappointed yet. It holds 2 1/2 litres of oil at its maximum level and 2 litres at the minimum. The heat setting is adjustable via a roller wheel towards the bottom of the unit and this makes it very user friendly. The lid is easy to open and the basket is very easy to remove from the bowl and also very easy to put back in. The great advantage of this fryer is that it is exceptionally ...

It has an integrated filter in the lid, which is also washble. The temperature control knob is very easy to use. We paid £54 for this deep fat fryer when it was on special offer in Comet.
