 Best small fryer! September 17, 2009

I originally bought the Cuisinart CDF-100 fryer because this unit was always out of stock. This was the one I wanted. The Cusinart fried good, but clean up was a lot more time consuming. You had to pour water in the unit while its on your countertop. With this, the oil box is seperate from the base. You can throw it in the dishwasher or wash under the sink. It has a lot of plastic parts, this has a lot of stainless steel.
This basket is nice and big, the side walls of the oil box are high and probably double the size of the Cusinart, less oil splattering everywhere. The cusinart has a charcoal filter for smell. I fry with peanut oil, the oil has no smell compared with cheaper veggie or canola oil. This unit has no charcoal filter, you don't need it. Lots of condensation would occur if there was a filter. Everytime I opened the lid to the Cuisinart, I had to wipe inside of the lid, if not, the water would drip in the oil and you get the popping sounds from the oil.
So why do I have this after I have the Cusinart? The basket on the Cusinart rest on the bottom of the frying box. The interior of the box is coated with a thin non stick coating. The coating got scratched in a few spots and I'm not going to fry in that. This happened after only a few weeks after I bought here on Amazon. Amazon's policy is returned only if unopened or defective. I didn't want to deal with the hassle and just ordered this. I'll probably give Cusinart a call soon. But its not worth it to me if it will cost me money to ship it, I would rather throw it away. With this Waring unit, the basket rest on the heating elements. The heating elements do not touch the bottom.
Spend the extra few bucks for this unit and you might have to wait because this is always selling out.

Three nice things about this fryer: 1) temperature control goes to 375 (better browning) 2)Fry basket is well made and feels solid 3) frying well is easy to remove to empty and clean. Over-all, a better fryer than the small Cusinart it replaced (and for less money).

Our son will only eat chicken strips and french fries (unfortunately). So we have gone through a lot of deep fryers. He's older now and I was sick of cleaning out the huge fryer, buying tons of oil, only to dump and clean again. So we bought a Presto fryer that was absolutely terrible! Threw that one away, and tried this one which works great. It has a deep basket that holds a lot of food (1/2 large bag of chicken nuggets!), it holds 8 cups oil at the max fill line, heats up fast and temps recover quickly between foods. The chicken strips and fries come out nice and crispy. And it takes up very little counter space.
The only problem I found is the basket raises too high (clips on an inside ledge) so the cover does not stay completely on when you are draining food. But I just place the lid over the basket and slowly raise it up. We've had no problems with oil splattering. This is a great appliance. I would buy another one if it ever breaks.
This is one you want! May 6, 2010

I've been shopping for fryers for about 3 months with little to no real success. After avoiding this fryer and that fryer -- either for not getting hot enough or being utterly impossible to clean, I think we've found a winner. This little fryer has 3 big things going for it and to top it off, it's cheap!
Best Qualities of the DF55:
1) Very easy to clean, the fryer pan is heavily coated and completely removable from the base of the unit. You can easily separate EVERY part of this fryer to clean it up!
2) It gets HOT - Very much a true 375 degree fryer. I hooked it up and cranked up the dial and I get excellent golden-crisped food out of it.
3) It's very nice and compact, perfect for a small family. It doesn't take up very much room on the counter-top and it's quite attractive.
Worst Qualities of the DF55:
1) Magnetic power cord attachment -- It's a safety feature, but it can easily come detached if you just move the fryer.
2) Fryer basket handle does not fold down to clear out of the way when not in use.
This is just my take, but if you're looking for a great quality mini deep fryer... Skip the rest and get the Waring Pro.
Compact, great looking, well designed, and fast April 7, 2010

The Waring Pro DF55 is well designed, looks great, and fits perfectly in small spaces. It is easy to set up, heats up fast, and cleaning is a breeze. I agree with the previous review about the magnet power cord. However just about every fryer for the consumer market will have this safety feature. Having said that, if the fryer or the power cord is not moved, everything works just fine.
The size is perfect when frying food for two people. The capacity is 1 1/2 pound. It takes about 2 1/2 quarts of good quality oil to reach the max oil level.
As for oil, use only oil with high smoke point. This prevents the oil from burning (start to smoke) and changing the chemical composition of the oil. Refined Saffola oil is a great choice with a smoke point of 450F.
Now I have the perfect fryer for those times when high quality french fries are a must.
