Waring pro DF250B Stainless deep fryer Free Shipping in USA

I bought this to replace an old, cheap deep fryer that was encrusted in old oil deposits. I chose the Waring because it has an immersed heating element (which reportedly should better maintain the high heat necessary to produce crisp fried foods), looked compact, and fit the modern black & stainless steel theme of my kitchen. I also liked the professional-looking buttons, the reported ease of cleaning, and the trusted Waring brand.

Overall, I am quite pleased with the fryer. But let's start with the negatives. The most annoying thing is that it does not have a charcoal filter. I knew this going in, but didn't think that would be important--I thought these are a gimmicky ploy to make extra money on people who want to replace them periodically. Well it turns out I was wrong. My last fryer had one, and even though I never replaced it, it still helped to substantially cut down on that fast-food-place-oily smell when cooking.

I am using this fryer for about 2 months now. Easily removable stainless steel bowl is made solid and temperature adjustment is accurate, black plastic is actually carbon fiber based composite therefore it does no change shape when heated, all stainless parts are also working as reinforcements, not just for looks. Timer is only for use as timer, not as switch, which makes perfect sense, heater is very well built and lifting basket is working smooth and with no problems. When using canola oil, there are no sticking or burned drippings anywhere. Filter on the top is simple stainless mesh designed to prevent steam bursts or oil splashes which I like since there is nothing to replace. Cleaning is simple and there is no burned "collar" inside the bowl thanks to good heat distribution. Cover has sold locking hooks from right and left which do not stick or come open, and glass window is made of solid thermal glass. There was never any smell of plastic, electrical problem or too hot to handle... Read more

What a find. After my old deep fryer finally died, I searched for many days for one to replace it. None of them stacked up until I found this one.
It is sealed, so no smell in the kitchen. I use peanut oil,it does not burn. The timer is a plus for the teenagers, who tend to forget when they use it on their own.
There is absolutely no splattering prior to closing the lid. Love it!
Hopefully, it will last me many years.
