Tefal Oleoclean Pro Deep Fat Fryer, 3.5L Oil, 1.2kg Food, 2300W | Serves 6, Patented Oil Filtration, Removable Oil Storage Box, Viewing Window, Digital Timer, Steel, FR804040

Apart from the massive one i had like 25 years ago.its the best defat fryer iv ever had .the oil filter is brilliant

This is a really solid deep fryer overall. The build quality is decent not the absolute highest you can get, but still very good and it feels sturdy enough for regular use. The stainless steel body looks smart and it’s easy to keep clean, which is a big plus for something that lives in the kitchen. The standout feature for me is the oil storage box. Being able to filter the oil and store it neatly underneath when it’s not in use is incredibly convenient. It keeps things tidy, saves oil and makes the whole cleanup process much easier than traditional fryers. This feature alone makes it feel like good value for money. Cooking performance is good, the temperature control is accurate and the results have been consistently crispy. The only areas that could be improved are the heat-up time and the maximum temperature. It takes a little longer than I’d like to reach frying temp, and I think it would benefit from being able to go slightly hotter for certain foods. Even with those minor points, it’s still a very practical, well-designed fryer that performs reliably. If you want something easy to clean with clever oil management and solid overall quality, this is a great option. Good value for money and the automatic shut off when temps hit their desired amount is a great safety feature.

Have been using this for a while now and it's a great product. The oil stays fresher a lot longer than the previous fryer thanks to the filter and draining after each use. Cleaning is easy thanks to the easy drainage and all the parts being easily removed and put in the dishwasher. Very robust and excellent value for the price.

The filter design is so simple that it's a mystery as to why ALL deep fryers were not made this way. Imagine a kitchen sink with a plug that has a mesh over it to stop nasty stuff going down when you let the water out and a removable, easy to clean bowl. You switch the dial to drain oil from the main compartment to the tray beneath, the mesh stops the crud going through, clean oil goes into the tray beneath. You remove the element and take out the metal bowl full of sludge or crumbs or whatever and wash it. Put the bowl back then poor in the clean oil. The downsides are the price compared to a traditional design (which you will get back through not having to throw away oil very often not to mention ease of use), and the fact that the timer is very basic and not all that useful. The instruction manual is poor but that's how it generally is with such things and it's more intuitive to throw it out and figure it out yourself. This fryer also works a fair bit faster than most so it will take some getting used to. The basket is large and the unit is more than capable of catering to a family of 4. (It takes the best part of 4 litres of oil to be in the top end of the oil fill level) Just dont pull on the drawer for the oil when you get the item as it locks into place and the locking mechanism could easily be broken by the unknowing. The "viewing window" is about as useful as they are on any other meaning "not very". It loses a star from me simply because despite the fact that it works so brilliantly I can't see how the materials used justify it being more than double the price of a traditional unit. The basic timer is not much of an issue for me.

I used to fry everything in a pan, and I’d been looking for a reliable deep fryer for a long time – this one is exactly what I needed. The oil heats up very quickly, and the food tastes so much better than before. I love the built-in timer: I set it myself and don’t have to keep checking how far along the cooking is. Cleaning it is incredibly easy. Most parts are dishwasher-safe, which is a huge advantage, and the automatic oil draining and filtering system is outstanding. It drains and filters the oil into a separate container, keeping it clean for longer and saving a lot of time and effort. The fryer is sturdy, well-built and has a great capacity. It cooks multiple batches evenly without the oil cooling down. I’m extremely pleased with it – this is exactly the deep fryer I’d been searching for.

This is a gamechanger in cleaning - although it is larger and bulkier than a standard machine, it is a lot easier to clean. The oil is filtered easily and left overnight before i attend the rest of the unit, removing the top control unit, the tub and preventing more drips with a cloth under the drain hole,, clean it out manually. I think possibly to prevent any leaking outwith this, to ensure the button is in the 'fry' 12oclock position before ANY oil is poured or refilled into the machine. The only downsides were the basket being somewhat scraping the rear element, as if it was far too big , however after bending in the rear of the basket it fitted OK. The timer isn't backlit and cannot easily be read, but also it is battery powered so can be used even without the rest of the machine on o in use. The machine is a simple on or off, and the temp control is the only way to use the machine, and wait for the red light to go off before inserting the food and cooks really nice, perfect with French Fries etc. I love that i can reuse the same oil and it pours easily from the base into the top box - again, only ensure the FRY button is selected before pouring it in.

Had the smaller one before and was really pleased with it. They are so easy to clean and heat up quite quickly and are well worth the money.

It's a brilliant fryer. Cooks chips really well to a nice golden brown colour. Tried chicken thighs, bone in and skin on. Coated them with seasoned flour. Wow, twenty four minutes frying and they were absolutely perfect, with very crispy skin that tasted amazing. I'd recommend using crisp & Dry oil as its much healthier than others.

The product has a very nice oil filtering system but the tank capacity is a bit small for bigger batches

Mooie friteuse maar helaas is de stekker niet geschikt voor een Nederlands stopcontact. Had wel even vermeld mogen worden.

Systeme top !!! Nettoyage simplissime, tt va au lave vaisselle, l huile est filtrée sans aucune manip !!

Pacco arrivato nei tempi di Amazon. Dopo il primo utilizzo, la facilità di pulizia è stata fondamentale, l'olio rimasto dopo il necessario raffreddamento, è stato filtrato ed evacuato attraverso con una semplice rotazione del pomello frontale. L'olio è cosi raccolto nel contenitore sotto stante dando cosi la possibilità di pulire tutte le parti in lavastoviglie senza sporcare per fuori uscite di olio. L'olio raggiunge la temperatura impostato sul termostato che comunque anche se non segna grado per grado è abbastanza preciso (ho misurato la temperatura dell'olio con un termometro a infrarossi). La frittura risulta croccante e gradevole al tatto (non unta). Ora aspettiamo di vedere quanto resiste all'usura data dall'utilizzo.

perfektes Gerät, man muss aber die Gebrauchsanweisung beachten
