The fryer works as it's supposed to, it makes nice crispy chicken and restaurant quality fries. A safety warning: don't fill up to the 'minimum' oil mark, when you add the basket and its contents the level gets dangerously close to the top, it almost overflowed on me. Also, watch the steam, don't let it get excessive as water makes the oil spit. By leaving the lid slightly ajar by placing it on the bars of the metal basket, it will allow more steam to escape. If you do see the oil bubbling too much, turn off the fryer and remove the basket of food, let it cool down a bit. I found that peanut oil can be raised to a higher temp than canola oil. If the temp is too high, the oil will bubble up to the lid. Don't ever put food in the fryer and leave the room, you'll need to keep a close eye while it's cooking. I wouldn't recommend putting frozen food in as there will be a lot of spattering.
The size is small, you'll be able to fry a couple of chicken thighs at a time, maybe 6 nuggets, one sliced large potato for fries.
Cleaning it is a bit of a pain, the lid is not removable so you have to take the entire fryer and dump it, holding the lid open.
Overall I think it's a good fryer for the money, just be aware of the safety issues.

Read full review! Latest update at end! Complete trash!
At first : Nice and compact. Get the small frying jobs done. The only complaint I have Is I wish it was a separate detachable frying component that I could pull out to clean it and put it back in again after drying. Its hard to pour the oil out, hold the lid, and try to clean the inside with soap and not get water on the essential parts that's not suppose to get wet.UPDATE:IT JUST DIED (Sept 27 2019) IN THE MIDDLE OF ME FRYING PART OF MY CHICKEN DINNER RIGHT NOW (@5:30 PM WESTCOAST TIME)!!! I literally just bought this late August 2019. I only fried with it three times. I'm so upset!Second update after it cut off in the middle of frying:So I called the product support line. The lady I spoke with was extremely helpful. I had to empty out the oil and transfer my food to the stove to continue cooking. After it cooled down, I was told to take a pin or something and stick it under the deep fryer into a small hole to reset it. I held it for 15 seconds, and then it worked again. So I will officially unless something happens again rate this with 3 stars. It cut off while I was cooking which was a major inconvenience.Update as of Feb 14th, 2020I ABSOLUTELY HATE THIS THING!! It's the absolute worst appliance I ever bought in my life. It's always cutting off in the middle of frying any and everything. I'm consistently resetting it. It's not as easy to clean.I have tried multiple times to use it rather cooking something simple like fries or a few chicken wings. This fryer is waste of money. It's not even worth a return or replacement. I'm done trying to use it! The best place for it is in the TRASH!!!! If there was an -10 star this would get it !!
