Kenwood DF380 Easyclean Deep Fat Fryer

The basket cannot be raised or lowered when the lid is closed which may not suit every one and a much greater recipe selection would have been nice.
Great value for your money.

So easy to clean compared with sealed units which look grubby after a while.

one small gripe, when basket is raised, lid cannot be shut, but for perfect chips, whose complaining.

I have even bought one for my mother and mother-in-law as well

I began my search for a deep fat fryer in the price range of 70 plus, when this fryer caught my attention. As I felt it was a manufacturer I could trust and all the parts were dishwasher proof I desided to give it a go.How glad I am!Using the fryer is just like plugging in a kettle and every thing can be cleaned exept the electrical unit.

If you are looking for a low cost EASY TO CLEAN fryer.......this is it!!!

Dont let the other reviews put you off.....if you only fry occasionally - buy this one AND if you have a dishwasher......its a must......all the grubby bits can go in (which then come out sparkly).

All domestic fryers are a bit difficult to fill/empty that is to be expected.....this empties okay and there's a special corner to use so it doesnt splash every where.

would recommend....have had no problems with it.....TIP...if you have an extractor over your cooker....put it on the hob on a glass "WORKTOP SAVER"...95% of the smells are drawn out immediatley.

This fryer does its job extremely well. Cooking chips is what its employed to do and it performs this task efficiently.

However, I bought this particular fryer based on its easy clean functionality and unfortunately it is this that lets it down. Fat splashes quickly build up around the rim and prove excessively difficult to then wash off. Leave it for a couple weeks and you'll find yourself faced with a monumental cleaning task.

Perhaps the task would be more easily achieved with a dishwasher which I don't own.

Another gripe is the temperature control wheel WILL get greasy at some point and what was already a difficult switch to turn, leads to the entire family taking turns in futile attempts to turn the blighted thing. Also the outside decals quickly fade under cleaning.

All in all i wouldn't recommend this fryer. Others will do the job more efficiently and with a greater sense of user friendliness.

My advice.... LOOK ELSEWHERE.
