Sunbeam Compact DF2100

Terrible – Would not go near one ever again - would not touch one with a barge pole. The construction is downright dangerous in my opinion. When it worked, it was acceptable and did its job. When it did not work! First one the handle nearly fell off - dangerous, the second warranty replacement just broke down - refuses to heat up.

Excellent – THE BEST LITTLE DEEP FRYER! Compact, easy to clean, easy to store. And it does the best chips and smaller fried foods. Food comes out lovely and crispy. The fryer has a vented lid so you just put the lid on and there is therefore no spatter. Looks good too with the easy to clean stainless steel exterior. The very affordable low price was an additional bonus. A little beauty! Doesn't take up much space in cupboard. Easy to take out and put on bench top. (I hate bench clutter so prefer to put appliances away.) Really easy to clean. Makes excellent chips, and smaller fried foods. No spatter. Unable to buy another for caravan.

OK – Bought this in november last year some time in january this year whilst using it there was a loud bang but this did not seem to affect the workings of the deep fryer, only the orange light that tells you you have reached the tempreture for the desire food type you want to cook. Overall, it still works fine we use it about three or four times a month cooking for six people.

It does cook a one kilo bag of frozen chips in under 15 minutes. good price for it's size had it three months before something went bang
