Pros: rotating basket, temperature control, thermostat light, easy drain system
Cons: none at all
Summary: The deep fryer I had was already hitting its 10 birthday. Yes it still worked, but it looked like it was 10 years old. I felt I was ready for a new one. With so many on the market, I wanted one that would make my life easier – but did such a deep ... read more

Pros: Easy to operate small-family fryer that requires a trick, but then is successful.
Cons: Small size not for parties or feeding the neighborhood.
Summary: Like many, I have avoided frying because of the mess and smell--though I am fortunate that larger love-handles don't seem to happen to me. Fried chicken, fritters, appetizers, and gourmet additions to dinner plates are all fun. But I avoided ... read more

Pros: Spatter free, almost odorless frying.
Cons: Minimal instructions. Relatively high filter cost.
Summary: If you find yourself deep frying even occasionally, the DeLonghi D895UX is a good alternative to hot oil on a stovetop. Actually, it's one of the better residential deep fryers. Years ago, I had a Fry Daddy unit, which was basically just a ... read more

Pros: Taste, minimal oil, quick
Cons: Fried food is never good for you!
Summary: Normally, I am on a fried food ban...I hate feeling sluggish and unhealthy, but after trying french fries at one of my friends home with the DeLonghi Cool Touch Roto Deep Fryer, I decided to buy one of my own! My kids love fried food, but I do ... read more

Pros: uses less oil, easy to strain used oil and to wash the vessel
Cons: Frying potatoes. Frying things with batter.
Summary: The fryer was beautiful to look at, but after owning it for 3 months, I could see its limitations. The pluses were it's capacity, the temperature controls, the draining system. There was also a timer, but it was not really a plus, your egg or stove ... read more

Pros: Rotates food, cleans up easily, easy to use
Cons: none so far
Summary: This is a good kitchen tool. I'm glad I bought it but I must admit I'm just learning what to cook and not cook in it. Being vegetarian I really wanted to make deep fried tofu but learned you need to use the kind that's extra firm or you need to dry it ... read more

Pros: Easy cleaning, odor free, uses less oil than other fryers.
Cons: Too small for large families, can only cook small portions
Summary: I purchased the DeLonghi Rotating Deep Fryer F-895 after reading the excellent reviews in magazines and on line and liked the fact that you didn't have to use as much oil as the traditional fryers. I don’t tolerate reheated oil very well so I only use ... read more

Pros: Good concept in frying, cool oil drainage system.
Cons: Rotation problems,length of cooking times off are off.
Summary: I read the reviews...I bought the deep fryer...It rotated for my first batch of chicken...then stopped! Now, while the fryer is cooling off (so I can drain the oil)--so am I (cooling off, that is).
I'm a southern girl who can fry some SERIOUS ... read more

Pros: Best fried food, crisp and light
Cons: none that I have experienced
Summary: I purchased the roto fryer based on the epinions site recommendations. I have been perfectly happy with it. From the first day the french fries, fish, zucchini chips and anything else we have put in it has come out perfectly crisp and not oily at all. ... read more

Pros: Cooks evenly, safe to use and less messy than the conventional "fryer".
Cons: Fogged up view window and possible steam burns.
Summary: Okay...so no biggie...but it is fun to make a batch of fresh tortilla chips now. In fact....deep frying anything is a piece of cake. Donuts, burritos, chicken, french fries and more....we have cooked them all in the Delonghi Deep Fryer.

Pros: Safety of product paramount for parents.
Cons: Watch escape steam on opening.
Summary: After a particularly nasty kitchen fire, caused by someone dropping a basket of wet chips into the hot oil rather rapidly, (yes, that would be me), it was decided that a fryer with a lid and definitely a plug in, was to be placed on the shopping ... read more

Pros: User friendly, great instructions, Effortless cleaning, No Odors!
Cons: Lack of colors (white only for U.S. version), Price
Summary: I consider myself somewhat skilled in the area of cooking, except when it comes to frying things. Frying foods (by some considered to be one of the easiest methods of cooking aside from boiling hotdogs or eggs) has always brought me to my knees. ... read more

Pros: use less oil; constant temperature; easy cleaning; less mess
Cons: fog on viewing window
Summary: revised
I admit it, we love fried foods. No matter how much we tell ourselves to eat more healthily, my fiancee and I keep coming back to fried foods. Recently we saw an episode of one of our favorite cooking shows, "Good ... read more

Pros: Quick to Heat Up; Rotation of food reduces oil absorption

Pros: Less oil saturation, easy and filtering system.
Cons: No cons on the new model.
Summary: I bought a model of the rotary fryer a number of years ago because it was a rotary and I do quite a bit of frying. It seems that there is a lot less grease absorption by the fried food. It cooks fast and evenly, which is great since I always seem to ... read more

Pros: Less oil, less mess, safer
Cons: can't find any
Summary: We had a fire in our home 6 years ago because my husband left a pan of grease on the stove and went out. We lost nearly everything. A grease fire is devistating even if it doesn't leave the kitchen because it smokes for a long time before igniting. ... read more

Pros: Convenient and Easy to Use
Cons: Basket handle sometimes slips
Summary: I have one of the first De Longhi rotating deep fryers. It is one of the best small appliances I own. It is very convenient and so easy to use with little or no mess what so ever. It is great for a small amount of food or cooking in great quantities. ... read more
