Advantages: Good size, removable filter
Disadvantages: Where to store??, cleaning done frequently

...boys I have found the Delonghi F600 "chips with everything" deep fat fryer useful, if not an absolute necessity in my kitchen. It is a must for chips, as well as chicken, mushrooms, onion rings and anything else that can be fried (and usually is when used by the boys). Not only does it cut down on the smells in the kitchen but it also cooks the food in a fraction of the time. The only problem I have had is the cleaning, which has to be done quite ...
...the Delonghi range, the cleaning process is laborious as there is no outlet for the used oil. It does have a variable thermostat, which is a definite plus along with the volume of food that can be cooked. Another advantage with this fryer is that it has coolwall. There is also a changable filter which is situated on the top of the door of the fryer, just behind the viewing window, which does not need a screwdrive to remove it. All in all I have ...

Advantages: compact with good capacity
Disadvantages: cannot remove filter or bowl to clean, need to place near an extractor as odour and vapour not controlled

...we came home with a Moulinex silver and black rather attractive number, along with the requisite bag of potatoes from our local supermarket. After 3 attempts at badly peeling and preparing chips (cutting decent looking chips is not all that easy) and managing to firstly burn, then undercook and finally get it exactly right, I thought, hang on, wouldn't it have been easier to have bought a traditional fryer you just put on the hob. Well, being a little ...
...as I cook, I think that for safety reasons alone, a stand alone contained fat fryer is the better option, no matter what make you're looking for. Anyway, here's the lowdown on what this fryer offers: thermostatic temperature settings (160,170,180,190 dishwasher safe basket 1.2kg capacity (enough for 2 large portions, or 4 small) permanent metal filter clear viewing window nice black and chrome look on/off switch with led easy open lid So ...

Advantages: Oil drainer, easy to keep clean
Disadvantages: Check oil tap is closed!!

I have gone through a few deep fat fryers (mainly because instead of cleaning it I just get a new one!!!) Anyway at the moment I have this one and so far I am impressed with it, even without a timer. Seems easier to keep clean somehow than the white ones. BUT don't do what I did ........... I unpacked it, rinsed it out, put it together, filled with oil and left on kitchen top for later............................ when I walked into kitchen I saw ...
...tap was off, yes all the oil had come out, all over unit and floor. SO remember to check the tap is off. But at least I know it works, and when the oil needs changing I should now manage it without having to buy a new one!!! Also makes lovely chips! ... Read review

The machine itself is easy to ... 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
