Rival CZF630 Deep Fryer

Pros: Size, cooks evenly and quickly, breaks down for easy cleaning.

Cons: None yet after a year.

Review: I have had this fryer for over a year now and have had no issues with it whatsoever.  There is however on flaw on the lid and that is because my wife left the lid up and the halogen lights on my rangehood melted a spot on the plastic.  I do ...

Pros: Great capacity and maintains temperature well enough for a consumer fryer.

Cons: Controls can melt at high temperatures. Ordering replacement parts difficult

Review: Product frys evenly and maintains regular temps. The contols are easy to use and basket is easy to remove. However, controls tend to melt at higher temperatures (especially the timer control) and replacement parts are often back-ordered 3-4 ...

Pros: Looks nice, temperature selection, dishwasher safe

Cons: Durability and functionality

The Bottom Line: Purchase a $20 basic fryer not this machine.

Review: I purchased this fryer for $50 because I wanted to be able to make a larger number of french fries simultaneously. I went through two of them in 4 weeks. The first unit was defective right out of the box, it would not heat the oil to a high enough ...

Pros: Easy to use, non-metal bowl inside, the controls were nice

Cons: Lid would pop open will cooking. Then is stopped working completely only after 3 months.

Pros: Like the size and easy to clean.

Cons: Would not recommend because of the defects - doubt if we will buy another one.

Review: I really liked this style and brand of fryer until the second deep fryer started having defects. The first one I had just quit heating up one night the cord would not stay plugged in. We only had the fryer for 6 months use before it became defective. I ...

Pros: Not any because of the short life span.

Cons: Heating element broke, plastic parts unreliable, lid doesn't stay closed, basket drops.

Review: I loved my fryer for the first 2 weeks I had it. Then it stopped heating up! The lights came on saying it was ready, but the oil wasn't even warm to the touch. Also, the lid doesn't stay shut and the basket will drop without touching the button to ...

Pros: nothing that I can think of. I wasted my money.

Cons: Everything broke on it! And hard to clean.

Review: I paid way more than the other reviewers up here in Canada. First of the magnetic cord would hardly plug in, never would heat up decent enough to fry anything well. Then all the plastic parts broke, one by one! Have only used it maybe four times.. The ...
