This fryer is fantastic! It fries quick and easy. I had to fry food for a big birthday party; it cut my cooking time in more than half. I was also able to cook two different meats without one interfering with the other. I was pleased that each side has its own temperature control panel. The only drawback is the mess it can make if the grease over flows. To prevent this I now fill with oil to the minimum line. I found that filling it to max caused the oil to overflow when adding my meat. It may act differently for other products but with meat, it bubbles up when you drop the basket. Other than that, this fryer is a great buy.

I was really excited to get my dual deep fryer. I unpacked it and put it in the space I had cleared for it. It came time to use it putting it together was easy but getting the thing to turn on was altogether a different story. When I FINALLY got the ready lights one and the elements were heating up...BOOM! The left side heating element caught fire. Lucky to still have my eyebrows!! I was so sure this would be a great product that I had gone ahead and thrown out the box it came in. no matter....it is packed up with the provided return label and will be going back asap.

I bought this fryer as a gift for my sister. I have a friend with one and he swears by it. I used it one time and it shorted out or atleast the power light went out and after ten minutes of fooling with the cord and temp knob I only got one fryer to come back on. While it worked it was wonderful, french fries in one basket set to high, jalepeno poppers in the other basket set to 350. I followed time of 5mins on popper box and they came out golden brown with a small bubble of cheese starting to show on only one but no cheese was lost, so the fryer must be pretty accurate. I will try an exchange and let you know how that one does. PS- They charge my credit card to return this, booo!

This fryer is perfect! My husband loves his french fries, but does not like fish at all. I love fish! We each have our own section and no fish or french fry tastes get combined together. If you only want french fries the whole cooker does not have to heat up because each side is separately controlled. It looks great on the counter!

Was happy to get double fryer but very disappointed after using first time. The degree numbers must have been in white out because after wiping the first time the numbers were gone. the right side of the fryer kept cutting off while I was cooking in it. Had I tried this out when I first bought it it would have been sent back immediatley. HSN you really need to take more time in developing QUALITY items before you lose dedicated customers. Now I try everything as soon as I get it in case it needs to go back....

I was so excited to finally see this dual basket fryer. I've been waiting awhile to purchase a deep fryer and at $79.00 I wasn't going to wait any longer. I just received it and when I took it out of the box I was disappointed it looks very sleek, but it's cheap. It dented when I picked it up out of the box and the way it sits are not legs but the metal pieces underneath 2 out of 4 fell off. I really expected better quality not only from HSN but Elite . HSN before you lose more customers, Please put QUALITY before QUANTITY your customers trust you. Yes it goes back today.

This is wonderful. I can fry up many things in no time. The only downside to this is grease got on the little number dial and went to wipe it and the temp numbers came off.

Only complaint I have is it's not good to use the lid during frying because it builds up with condensation and when you open the lid to check on the frying the built up condensation drips into the hot oil and you know that water and hot oil do not play well together. Otherwise it heats up quickly and frys even quicker. So far I love it for my family of 5. Can't wait till football season and we have people over and we have some game munchies.

I bought my deep fryer in March 2009 worked fine but after wiping product with just a damp cloth a couple times the temperature number wiped away, now you have no ideal what your cooking on. Then noticed smoke coming thru one of the knobs and when I tried to turn it off the knob broke and came off. Now I have to deal with warranty company which you pay for shipping to return product to them. This product needs to be recalled

For years I wanted a deep fryer. The product worked great on TV but once it was delivered only one side of the "DUAL DEEP FRYER" worked. I purchased 2 gallons of oil for NOTHING! Wasted money, wasted time and ruined dinner, STAY CLEAR! I'm returning this fryer hopefully the replacement will work.

This product worked fine first three times. Now, the deep fryer will not turn on. I am over my thirty days for return to HSN and I must deal with company that made the product. HSN is not being deligent about quality right now and continuing to sell inferior quality products will lose me as a customer.

I purchased this and plugged it in and it wouldn't even turn on. I thought it might have been the outlet so I unplugged it and hit the switch, still no go. I plugged my micro in and it worked just fine but looking at the reviews, I am returning this and I don't want another one. I guess Emeril's would be the way to go.

I purchased this fryer March 15th, and was very excited to try it. It worked well the first time. The second time however, nothing. No lights, no heat, neither side work at all. Thinking it was good to go, I threw out the original packaging, I'm going to try for a full refund anyway, because I don't want a second of these.

The fryer worked great for the first use, then the second use could'nt get the one side to heat up, then he finally did. Second use it would'nt heat up at all had to use one side. Now I am in fear that's is going to go out. Too much trouble not worth all the problems.

Was very excited to receive fryer, but the excitement was short lived. Very dissappointed, first in the magnetic electrical attachments. The cord is not securely inserted, but is attached in the back by magnet. This means of attachment is not snug and falls off very easily, as it did when I was using the fryer. Didn't like that at all. Then, one side of the fryer didn't come on. Fried okay, but I think I can do better. This product is on the way back.

I purchased this a few weeks ago. I have never been able to fry chicken until now. It came out perfect, juicy inside, crispy outside. Batter dipped catfish, sweet potato fries etc. it all comes out great. I am very thrilled with this purchase I left it on once for half hour and the oil didn't burn! I hope it last a long time. I use this every weekend. French fries, onion rings, moz sticks it all comes out great NOT greasy. Love this deep fryer and very happy I got it!
