Tefal Ultimate EZ Clean Pro Deep Fryer

Pros: Unique oil filtration and storage system

Cons: A couple of confusing hidden lights and controls.

The Bottom Line: If you're lazy, like me, the filtration system will mean that you cook with cleaner fresher oil. Nice design but kind of expensive.

Review: Before we get into features and the rest let's deal with an item that may be a deal breaker depending on where you want to put this thing. I think most people store their deep fryer on a counter top with the frying basket inside. Because of the ...

Pros: All parts except the heating element can be placed in the dishwasher.

Cons: Problems with battered foods

Review: This fryer works well and is easy to clean, as all parts, except for the heating elements, can be placed in the dishwasher. The filtration and storage systems for the cooking oil work superbly well thus there are no oil spillage problems to contend with. ...

Pros: heating recovery; ease of use

Cons: stainless shows streaking/marks easily.

Review:   I have had this fryer for about a month and a half, and have not had any problems with it.  It heats quickly (compared to my previous fryer), and seems to keep the heat well.  It recovers fairly quickly.  I use it to fry wings ...

Pros: easy to clean,east to store,simple operation,ergonomic

Cons: face lettering comes off with cooking oil (not cleaners!) product failed after 7 months use

The Bottom Line: failure after 5 months or 40 uses I would expect better Previous cheaper units lasted longer but didn't have cleaning features which is the only thing selling point

Review: This is my 3rd unit in 10 years. With 3 kids in the house it is used at least 2 to 3 times a week.I paid $169.00 Canadian ($145.00 US) for mine about 7 months ago. As of 2 months ago, the fryer will not shut off once the temperature of the oil is set and ...

Pros: Pretty stainless steel, heats up quickly and holds temperature well.

Cons: Control lettering rubs off. Built-in oil filtering is poorly done. Bad customer service. Stay away.

The Bottom Line: Look for something else. It's a pretty unit, but it is a pain to use and can be dangerous.

Review: This Tefal Fryer was a family gift to replace our venerable Fry-Daddy. I am not a frequent reviewer on epinions, but this product has become dangerous to use, and I want to warn others about the situation. The fryer has a control panel with a power ...

Pros: None.

Cons: Inadequate filtering mechanism that leaks hot oil when filtering. Hot walls. Very messy to use.

The Bottom Line: Deceiving unit, dangerous to use (hot walls and spits hot oil out when  lid is not in place) and extremely messy (oil leaks). Consider another type of fryer.

Review: This unit was used maybe a dozen times only. No problems with the first uses but it soon turned into a nightmare when filtering oil. The oil transfer mechanism is inappropriate and leaks. After messing up the kitchen we elected to use it ...

Pros: Nothing good were as it started to leak right away.

Cons: Leaks non stop, no way to stop it. Costumer service closed when needing help.

Review: The first time we started up our deep fryer, it started leaking oil all over the place and we had to put it into a roaster pan and it is still leaking hot oil. A great fire hazard in my opinion. ...

Pros: Large Capacity. High temp for grease free food

Cons: Leaks oil; large footprint.

Review: I purchased this as I needed a deep fryer with a large capacity. Seeing the oil storage features was a bonus. However 2 out of 4 uses resulted in oil leaking all over the counter (about a quart). Returned it with the intention of replacing it as I ...
