The Good—
1) It deep fries a turkey using a minimum of oil in about 2 hrs. It is now a must-have appliance to cook my Thanksgiving turkey. Note: I do cook it out on the patio because it stinks up the house.
2) It makes the greatest French Fries and Chicken Tenders you will ever taste—just follow the recipe.
3) I don’t use it for steaming, because my pressure cooker is quicker. Yet, I found a hidden use: it does a great job at Sous Vide cooking. For instance, I fill the tub with water and set the temperature to 130 degrees (note: you have to use a kitchen thermometer to initially set it since the numbers around the knob start at 175. Once I found the setting, I marked it). Then I placed the vacuum-sealed bags of steaks in the fry basket (you probably don’t want the plastic bags directly touching the heating element) and let them Sous Vide cook for about 3 hours. I do a lot of them at once and then I store them in the freezer. When I want a delicious, medium-rare steak, I take one directly from the freezer, sear it in my cast iron skillet and it’s ready in about four to six minutes. It actually works better than other Sous Vide systems since the large heating element heats the water evenly without needing to circulate.
The Bad—
1) The first one I ordered was defective; the rotisserie function did not work. Also it looked as if it was previously used. I returned it and received a good one. Not a big deal… just a warning.
2) The power cord is just two feet long and attaches with a quick disconnect, magnetic system. So it unplugs easily and unexpectedly. Also, there is no on/off switch; the plug turns it on and off.
3) The 120-minute timer is no more useful than an ordinary, mechanical kitchen timer. They could have easily eliminated this feature and saved money. I use technology (i.e. my cell phone or Echo) to set the timer.
4) Cleaning the unit after a deep-frying session is not easy because it doesn’t fit nicely in the sink, plus you need a brush to clean the sprockets of the rotisserie system and avoid the sharp edges. I can’t blame the designers though, because I don’t see how they could’ve improved it. After all, it needs to be large enough to fit a turkey and the rotisserie sprocket needs to be in the oil. Cleaning after a Sous Vide session, however, is easy because you just need to drain the hot water.
Hope this helps!
Easy setup, use & cleaning. The temp never got above 350 so I question why 375 is even on the controls.
I fried 6 (10-13lb ea.) turkeys in succession w/o issue. Fried some wings a few days later & again was pleased with the results. A friend fried a 16lb turkey with the same results.
This is the safest model I’ve ever used for frying.

Amazon can do nothing as it is past the "return window." BUYER BEWARE
Great fryer, however if you are using the rotisserie feature, be sure to DOUBLE the time per pound of bird be it chicken or turkey. Obviously with the rotation action only one side is submerged in the oil as it rotates so be sure to take this in to consideration. I also have a temp "gun" so I temped it out as between 335 and 340 when set to 375. Which is fine for cooking poultry. So if the recipe says six minutes a pound, bring it up to 10-12 minutes per pound or else you'll have an underdone bird. Found this out by trial and error.
I like the draining feature and is fairly easy to clean.
