I've used many methods to deep fry and this beats them all
Through the years I have used several different electric deep fryer models. I have also used multiple Dutch ovens from cast iron to stainless steel on my stovetop. This Breville compact deep fryer beats them all. I can fry with no lid and because it's so deep the oil doesn't spatter. I can set it to twice fry the fries and it works flawlessly. I can add time and/or change the temperature while it's in the process of frying. I can see the temperature of the oil and the timer counts down so I can time the food being fried to coordinate with other parts of the dinner being prepared. It is very lightweight so I can easily lift it filled with oil and carry it to my sink. The oil pours out via either back corner next to the heating element notch without spilling everywhere. Cleanup is very fast and easy. I rinse and wipe the frying basket after it cools and then let it air dry. I wipe down the heating element to remove any oil after it cools. I strain the oil after it cools and the empty oil tub fits nicely inside my dishwasher. It's also very easy to store when not in use. One tip I will pass along. When frying with a wet batter, never put the wet battered food inside the basket and then submerge the basket of food into the oil. It will stick to the sides and bottom and clump together. Instead, lower the basket in the oil as it's heating. When it's at temperature, use metal tongs to take a piece of the wet battered food by the tip and slowly lower it into the fryer basket by partially submerging the bottom into the hot oil until it's no longer sticky and dripping batter (it just takes a few seconds). I use a gentle swirling motion as it touches the oil. Then slowly open the tongs to release the food into the fryer basket. Just remember to be cautious when lowering the food into the basket. Don't drop it in. Gently and slowly lower it. I attached pictures of the shrimp and twice fried fresh sweet potato fries that I made the first day it arrived. The shrimp had a wet batter so I lowered each piece to avoid the batter getting stuck. I was able to fry eight shrimp at a time. I used the size 21-25 per pound and they were completely cooked in about a minute with the frying temp set to 350 degrees. I love this fryer. It is very user friendly and it makes frying fun. It really is a great deep fryer and I am so happy I finally bought it. Updated 2/1/23 to add a picture of some beer battered chicken breast fingers. They were so simple to make. I used the slow release and swirl method to lower them into the basket of oil and none stuck 🥳 They were perfectly cooked in three minutes at 350 degrees, and they were a big hit 😋 Updated 3/15/23 to add a picture of the rack I use to cover the bottom heating element when I am frying a large quantity of wet battered food and don't want to use the basket. The rack sits perfectly on top of the heating element and prevents food from getting caught between the coils and along the bottom and sides. It also allows me to put more pieces in at once because there is more space when the basket isn't in the fryer. When I'm finished cooking the battered food, if I want to use the basket for fries I leave the rack in place and the basket sits flat on top of it. It works great and it makes wet batter frying so simple. I bought the rack as a set of two on Amazon. I wrote the rack size on my picture. Updated 7/1/23 - I added a picture of my super thin fried chicken cutlets. I bread them, then freeze them, and then fry them from frozen at 375 degrees for 1 minute 15 seconds. They cook perfectly from frozen, brown evenly and taste great.

Holds oil temp, heats quickly, compact size and easy on the eyes!
Bought this fryer a bit before Christmas and waited before posting my review to make sure I used it enough times to give an accurate review. I researched a lot before making a decision and at the end what made me go with Breville smart fryer, was how well it holds the temp (if you buy a fryer that doesn't your food becomes soggy and drenched in oil), and how fast it heats and reheats to temp (about 9min or less)before cooking and in between batches (because who want to wait 15min just for the oil to heat and then if you have a second batch wait again...that's just not practical). This fryer is wonderful! The preSettings are a little intimidating when you first read the instructions however my advice to you is, turn it on and explore and I assure you right then and there the instructions will all make sense. The fries twice fried alone makes it worth to buy this fryer, crispy on the outside soooo moist on the inside...don't expect to be able to stop at just a few, keep that gym membership going ;) Now so nobody goes thru what I did because the booklet and Breville customer service couldn't answer my question, when you choose fries fried twice there is a temp heating overshoot. 1st fry it will heat at 280 and then You can put basket down and it will cook at 265, 2nd fry it will heat oil to 381 then you can put basket down and it will cook at 355. Wish someone would have told me because when I saw it kept on heating the oil past the setting I thought it was defective and the amazing part is Breville it self doesn't even know to what temp the fryer overshoots, so there you go Breville here you have it for your next customers! The reason why it overshoots together with the twice fried setting is the reason why the fries are the best you will ever have! Together with some other preSettings there is also a custom setting where you can choose time and temp you want but keep in mind you can also change time and temp on the presetting which is wonderful because it make everything so versatile. Booklet says to only use vegetable oils but there is nothing unhealthier about deep frying than deep frying with Any vegetable oil, do your research and find out why it's too long for me to explain here. All I can say is do your arteries a big favor and buy some organic Refined coconut oil (smoke point is 425) and deep frying never been healthier! If you have a Bjs by you they sell big jugs for $8.49 but make sure you get refined as extra virgin smoking point is much lower and so not suitable for deep frying. Also extra LIGHT olive oil is much better than any other junk out there. The fryer is not wide to the contrary very compact size which it makes it not too bulky to keep on your counter and it's also stainless steel so it's pretty easy on the eyes, everything is stainless steel and sturdy, the basket is super sturdy but not wide so you will need to fry extra batches for big crowds BUT oil heats so fast it's not a big deal. Booklet Says you need to fill to max line to fry fries but I've filled it to a bit under the max line and I personally prefer it, #1 because when u put basket down and oil bubbles it doesn't come up so close to the edge as it would if it was filled to max (I did it once and it scared me); #2, 2 big jugs at Bjs are a bit under that line so it's easier; FYI filling to Min won't be enough to cover your fries. I've fried fresh Calamari, fresh and frozen chicken tenders and there wee all to die for. Lots of reviews complain about the magnet plug and in my experience it's not an issue at all. Yes sure it's different than all your other appliances but it's not as sensitive as ppl describe it to be and it actually gives me peace of mind incase of Fire I can just hit it with something to unplug it, so don't let the magnet plug discourage you. Ok now the Cons: draining/cleaning oil what a pain in my behind!! DO NOT and let me repeat DO NOT buy the stainless steel strainer with the filter on top, absolute waist of money and oil takes forever to filter thru and forever mean like 30 plus minutes straining oil. After almost returning the frier because I couldn't deal with the waist of time of staring the oil my mother in law had a genius idea and she had me strain it using pieces of an old cotton tshirt. Oil comes thru as clean as u first put it in and it will be all strained in less than 10min. Washing the frier is a breeze, quality couldn't be any better, u can put it in the dishwasher or wash it by hand really no biggie. Before you can strain oil you have to wait a few hrs so be ready to have your frier on your counter for a few hrs. I think I've covered it all and if you are still undecided don't be, you are getting a great quality frier for real cheap. Hope I was of help!

Overhyped Junk
*Update: not only does it suck, but it stopped working after using ONE TIME!!! Now a 1 star review. Buy a different fryer* The fryer is generally good quality. The power cord interface in the back is horrible, at times it comes out in the middle of a fry, it's almost a deal breaker. The timer is ok, the presets just so-so (no fried chicken preset, only wings?), overall the digital/"smart features" are way way over hyped and oversold. I'm not dissatisfied with this fryer, but if I could do it again I'd definitely go with a different brand/model and if I were to spend as much as I did at this price point again I would go with one that offers more useful and practical features, like self cleaning oil trap etc.

Does a Good Job, but There Are Caveats...
I am a classically-trained chef, and I found both the pros and cons of this unit impressive. Yes, you read that right. The pros are wonderful and the cons are mind-boggling, an impressive fail. Keep reading: First, the pros: 1. Unlike a lot of other fryers, this one actually maintains temperature and is accurate when compared to a candy thermometer; the issue that some fryers appear to have with the temperature probe being too close to the heating elements causing a 30°- 40° F. differential between the stated temperature and the actual temperature is not present in this fryer, and the oil doesn't have to be stirred to bring it up to temp. And even better, the 1800 Watt heating element maintains the temperature well; I saw only a very quick drop of 60° F. and then back to 375° F. within 54 seconds when I dropped in 2.5 pounds of wings that were at refrigerator temperature. 2. The controls are easy to use and the display easy to read. 3. Cleanup was a breeze. 4. Pouring the oil through a strainer was easy because the lip around the oil bucket keeps the oil from running down the side. The cons: 1. I have never seen a feature on any kitchen appliance that I despise more than the magnetic connection for the power cord. It takes so little to break the connection that a slight bump will dislodge it and the cord must by lying on the counter top or it will fall off under its own weight. To the designers: Kitchen appliances are tools, and in ANY tool, FORM MUST FOLLOW FUNCTION! Yes, the mag-connect is a cool feature, ON BLUETOOTH HEADSETS, not on a kitchen appliance, especially one containing hot grease and in a cooking area, where the end of the plug may fall into spilled liquid and cause someone to be electrocuted. This is what happens when the creative process is allowed to run amok without the filters of physics and reason. FIX IT. If this unit is UL-approved, someone at UL needs to lose their job; a grease burn sustained while trying to move a hot fryer because one was too stupid to unplug it first (the reason for the break-away cord) is far less likely than electrocution to kill someone. 2. There are a few sharp edges. They're not quite "raw" edges, but they have not been smoothed enough. I cut myself on the grease bucket during the first cleanup. Why such a nice unit was left in such unfinished condition is beyond me, as an additional ten seconds with a wire brush or 220 grit sanding mop would have easily fixed it. 3. The temperatures and cooking times in the recipe book and the default cooking times built in to the product are ridiculous. Wings at 355° for seven minutes? My first batch was under-cooked coming out of the refrigerator, so a second batch went in warmed to room temperature. Both batches produced chewy, under-cooked chicken and slimy skin. 375° for 9 minutes was better, but still not quite done enough, as only about half the wings had started to float at that point. So experiment and find out what works for you. To their credit, they did allow for the user to adjust time and temperature, quite easily I might add, from the defaults. To the Breville executives: tell your legal team to stay out of the recipe book. A grease burn at 355° is going to be just as painful as one at the correct temperature, and the longer foods cook in a deep fryer, the less they bubble, splash, and risk starting a fire, so lowering the temperatures and cooking time just makes your product look like an under-performer without protecting you from anything and confounds your customers. 4. The manual says not to use lard. This is utterly ridiculous. Cooking lard has a higher smoke point than most vegetable oils and is a heck of a lot healthier than polyunsaturated oils that break down into trans fats when heated. I've used lard in immersion fryers for 30+ years without incident. All that is required to do so is to make sure that the lard is in contact with the heating element, which is easily accomplished by storing your filtered lard in a metal or Pyrex container and preheating it just enough to soften it enough to pour (which is not even enough to make it turn clear). If you're putting new lard in the fryer (which usually comes in a plastic bucket that can only be safely heated by soaking in hot water, which is a pain in the neck), use a spatula to press the lard down around the heating element before turning it on. Lard cooks better and faster with less smell and without toxic trans fats forming while you cook. Big hint: stainless steel and Pyrex can be heated on the stove top, and plain glass and ceramic canisters can be heated in the microwave sufficiently without risk of breakage. Applying plastic film, wax paper, or parchment to the top to help keep air away from the surface of the filtered lard will extend its life considerably. Failure to filter through cloth, paper towels, or a coffee filter while still warm but not dangerously hot will reduce the smoke point and hasten the ruination of your lard, as proteins putrefy much faster than lard turns rancid. Bottom line: If you already know quite a bit about deep frying or have an excellent recipe book and have an electrical outlet close enough to your exhaust fan that you can let the 3-foot long cord lie on the counter top while it's in use, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better fryer, idiotic power cord design notwithstanding. UPDATE: Apparently the LCD was cracked during manufacturing or shipping; it was noticeable during cleanup after the first use but appeared at a glance to be a crack in the plastic display cover, not the LCD. After two uses, the LCD became nonfunctional. I called Breville and arranged for warranty exchange, and they sent the wrong one. I had opted for express exchange by securing shipment with a credit card, and calling them back to get the wrong one replaced required a second hold on my credit card. The smug attitude of both the people I talked to, as if I should just suck it up and being hassled with returning both a defective item and a wrong item was commonplace, and I should appreciate having someone waste my life like that, is both intolerable and inexcusable. Hence, I may well have purchased my last Breville product of any kind, because I have ZERO tolerance for that kind of attitude. Yes, I realize that people make mistakes, but that doesn't mean that I have to like having my time wasted dealing with someone else's mistakes, and there's something about having to give someone my credit card info to cover THEIR mistake, not once, but TWICE, that just burns me up.

It DOES TURN ON!!!!! Owners MUST do this!
Just got this last week and we cooked perfect chicken wings last week. Then this week my wife was going to cook again. Filled the oil, plugged it in and nothing. No display or anything. I checked the outlet it was working. I said there is no way it would work one day and out of nowhere not work for no reason. I know that deep fryers have a safely mechanism that keeps them from turning on if they are not seated correctly on the fryer. YEP that was it. It was not seated correctly. So I placed it in the heating element slots correctly and it worked. Even though the heating element will sit on the oil pan correctly, if the heating element is not in the slots on the back of the unit correctly, or as 2 of the pictures show not at all, it will not power on. See the pictures posted. There is a safety switch in the heating element base that if not pushed in by being properly attached to the base, the unit will not power on. I have seen a lot of people say this unit was (junk) because they probably did not check this. As far as the rest of the unit the quality IS good. The metal top, base, basket are of heavier metal than the Cuisinart 4 liter. The Hamilton Beach 4.5 liter I would compare to restaurant take out tray aluminum, very poor. Oh yes, the power cord is the worst thing I have used. Too short and too easy to come off. Is it me or does it seem like a long cord you would have time to react to would be much better that a short cord the slightest touch would trip. Think if the cords were attached to land mines. I used the same cord I had from a 15 year old Walmart GE made deep fryer which this unit replaced after dying. I was about 2 inches longer but it made a lot of difference. It also is more secure. I would compare the metal on that one to be tank metal compared to how deep fryers are made today. The reason this cord falls off so easily is it has an extra "lip" around the top that pushes it away from the fryer. If you Dremel (sand it down) it will fit much better. I purchased 2 other deep fryers before getting this one, and all the cords would have fit on the other units. The other cords were mostly identical not having the "lip" on the top. You can probably find a low cost cord for $10-$15. More than that is too much. If it does'nt fit return it. It will probably be a reason by the manufacture to void your warranty.

This thing is great! Have had it for over 11 years!
Ok so really, I've had this fryer for over 11 years. I would say the cost amortized over its tenure in my house is $1.50 a month. Plenty of time to find out how well it works. I use it primarily for french fries, onion rings, chicken tenders, fried fish and chicken wings although I have done donuts as well. Pros: Heats quickly Super consistent performance Nice profile Easy to handle Presets actually work. I tested temperatures with a separate gauge. Everything BUT the element component is super easy to clean - dishwasher safe. Makes enough food for 4 at appetizer serving size . Makes lots for just 2 people. I strain and reuse french fry oil. I don't reuse fish fry or chicken wing fry oil. It does really well with all varieties of oil. I've used peanut, corn, canola, olive (low smoke point though), avocado is the best though. Things I wish were better: The cord interface could be better - magnetic and it sometimes falls off. Just seat it properly. The cord length is a little short. Could be longer. The cleaning of the element could be easier. After 11 years, I think I might buy a new one just because its a little dirty in the crevices.

High Quality, High Praise
This fryer is really great. We have owned a Breville Toaster Oven for many years, and we love the quality, durability and aesthetics of their appliances. This fryer is no exception. It heats-up quickly and holds even and consistent temperature while cooking. We used to use a secondary thermometer to verify cooking temperatures, but this fryer has been highly accurate, so we typically don't use an additional thermometer. It is fairly compact, but has a good-sized tub / frying area. The controls are easy to use and are typical Breville high quality. The lid fits snugly and prevents splashing / splattering. As other reviewers have noted, the cord is short and a little finicky. The magnetic connection will come apart with slight movement or angled placement. BUT... almost all (if not all) new fryers come with this feature. It is for safety reasons, so it is understood and appreciated. Once you get used to it, it's not a big deal. We place this on a cookie sheet on our cooktop and vent with the cooktop hood which works well. Clean-up is straight-forward... allow the oil to cool, pour and filter into a container (we usually put it back in the original oil jug), wash the bucket, basket and lid, then wipe down the heating element and controls and you're done. It takes a little bit of time, but well... frying is messy business. If you enjoy fried meats, vegetables, etc., you will enjoy cooking with this Breville fryer. We use ours often and we love it. Some reviewers reported problems over time. We have only had it for a few months. We have used it multiple times and I see no signs of problems or reason for concern.

Unreliable
I don't write many reviews, but in light of purchasing this fryer twice and having to return twice, I figured I'd save you a lot of time. When this fryer works, it's excellent. However, it doesn't work reliably. Each time I've had this in my home it fails. The first time after one successful cook. After that it wouldn't turn on again. I reset it, moved outlets, assured all the disconnects and safety features weren't the problem, but nothing. I thought it was a fluke. I returned it and purchased again because I have other Breville products that are excellent. The day it arrived I cleaned it, being sure not to put water on the element in any way as I know that will damage it. I then added the oil, immersed the element, plugged it in and....nothing. I went online to Breville support and found that there is no help available on this fryer. The "troubleshooting" website takes you to a 404 error. I then called support and they were too backlogged, so left my number and never got a call back. I immediately repackaged this fryer and returned again. Very disappointed as I was looking forward to having a quality product to get into frying now that we're all stuck at home.
