With the right equipment, deep-fried food can be crisp and delicious instead of fat-logged and soggy. This Presto CoolDaddy electric deep fryer includes several features that help you make tasty fried chicken, fish, shrimp, and French fries for up to six people. Its adjustable thermostat ranges from 250 to 375 degrees F, and its bright red indicator light signals when the oil has reached the desired temperature so food cooks no longer than necessary. A viewing window lets you track progress without opening the cover, and an included wire basket with an exterior handle means you can prevent spatters by lowering food into hot oil with the lid down.

Smart in structure, the fryer has a cool-touch exterior and a locking cover with a push-button latch for safety. Its anti-odor charcoal air filter removes without hassle, and the interior cooking pot is nonstick for quick cleanup. The wire interior basket features small holes--good for draining oil off while keeping small pieces in. Measuring approximately 13-1/2 by 10 by 11-1/2 inches, the cooker can be stored with the basket, handle, and cord inside. All parts should be washed by hand, and Presto includes a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

Summary: NOT TOO BAD ! !
Comment: The quality of the construction is kind of flimsy and not too impressive. Although, it works just great. Just be careful when you are frying, the lid is down and you reach for the handle to raise the basket. There is a small gap at the top where the handle meets the fryer. You can get scalded because the heat and steam rise up through that gap and if you do not hold you hand and thumb back a tiny bit further, that steam will get you. And....a disappointment about it is----it says that it has quick reheat recovery on it. When I take something out and wait for the light to go out which informs you that the oil is reheated; I put in something and (close the lid first) then lower the basket down. The book says it should sizzle and pop immediately because of the reheated oil. You know....like at McDonald's when you see them drop the basket of fries into the oil. IT DOES NOT.
The food sits in the oil with a little bit of gurgling and then in a few seconds, it begins to sizzle and fry. This was the main reason I bought it, because on Amazon it said about the quick reheat recovery. I am greatly disappointed.

Summary: Very good!
Comment: I bought this deep fryer so that the scent could be contained very well and it worked well. I like the fact that you can actually clean every part that the oil comes into contact with by taking it apart. It can fry stuff very quickly and evenly without turning all the time. I will advice you to go for it because it does not look cheap like most of those i see on the shelves.

Summary: LOVE this fryer!
Comment: Love this CoolDaddy fryer! Before I purchased a fryer, I read all the reviews here at Amazon and finally decided on this fryer.
Right after we received the fryer here, hubby decided to try it out. Now he always has at least 'one' negative comment about anything I buy so was waiting for that comment to happen. Nope..never did. He just raved how GREAT it was and still does every time he uses it. I personally have not had a chance to use it yet as he wants to use it whenever we need to use it for cooking. This says a LOT in our household!
I definately would recommend this deep fryer to anyone. Heats up quickly and stays hot to correct temperature. Does a super job!

Summary: Returned--cannot recommend-poor quality-defective
Comment: Since others have given a basic description of this fryer, I'll skip all of that and tell you why I returned it. One of the reasons that I decided on this fryer was the ability to close the cover while raising and lowering food into and out of the oil to prevent splattering hot oil all over the counter. The basket in the unit that I received could not be raised or lowered with the top cover latched. Once the cover was closed the mechanism for releasing the basket assembly was inoperable. Simply put, this was a deal wrecker for me. My overall impression of the fryer was not especilly high. I would describe the quality as less than I was expecting, lightweight, flimsy, with a plastic sort of feel to the whole thing. I think I'll start over and spend a little more money on a more quality fryer. Cannot recommend this one. This is the first time I have used the Amazon return process and found it to be as easy as it gets. Thanks Amazon. As a side note I have an observation about negative reviews in general. I find that more often than not negative reviews get "not helpful" responces from readers. I guess it's human nature to not want to hear a negative about something that one is interested in buying. Point is--a negative can be as helpful as a positive review because it might just save you the headache of returning the item and starting over as I have done. Thanks for reading this. I hope it is helpful during your decision making process.

Summary: Good Home Use Fryer
Comment: The unit works well; it heats quickly, I love the closing cover before you drop the basket to eliminate oil splash. The oil pan removes for easy cleaning. I did find that I had to cook longer than the product stated, but that was really no problem, everything came out great. I would reccomend this unit.
