Doesn't heat up well, basket is hard to use.
Found this discounted new to $10, at that price it's still terrible. The oil in mine never gets close to the temperature shown and the basket is stiff and difficult to work. I guess many home fryers have these shortcomings, but I'm really not happy with this one.
Biggest piece of crud...
I purchased this unit a couple of days ago. I decided to buy a small chicken and planned on frying it whole, as it appears on the box. Boy, was that a MISTAKE.
The interior does NOT remove for cleaning, and the handle on the basket was hard to use. It is supposed to extend out to use as a handle and fold down for use in the fryer. It did NOT fold easily. I felt like I was going to break it trying to use it. The power cord is magnetic and easily falls of the unit.
The chicken, even though it was quite small, didn't really fit. I planned on trying to fry it and then turn it around to finish cooking. I followed the temperature guidelines and my own recipe (the unit did not come with any recipes). I struggled with the handle not working at all. The skin stuck to the basket and I had to tear it apart to get the chicken out to fry it.

My fiance loves this deep fryer!!
My fiancé had one of these before and loved it so I bought her a new one when she wore the old one out.
