Presto 05443 CoolDaddy Deep Fryer

Pros: Exterior does stay cool when frying. Oil heats correctly.

Cons: Oil gets everywhere! Even inside the supposedly sealed lid.

The Bottom Line: I can't say I'm highly impressed. Non-battered foods do turn out well, but when most fried foods are battered, what's the point?

Review: I purchased my National Presto Cool Daddy Deep Fryer on sale at Sears for $39.99. While I realize fried foods are not great for you, I grew up with a British mom and fish and chips really hits the spot sometimes. After testing out my brother's deep...

Pros: Adjustable thermostat, cool touch outside, easy to clean

Cons: Magnetic AC power disconnect connector, no on/off switch, thermostat temperature settings limited

The Bottom Line: It is the best we could find at 8 different stores for the price. Don't ask why we went to 8 stores, let's just say -we really wanted Buffalo wings

Review: I bought mine at Macy's for $39.99 on sale. Mine was black, not white.

Pros: It works

Cons: Bulky to store, spits grease, no on/off

The Bottom Line: Look elsewhere for a quality fryer!

Review: I wanted a fryer and this was on sale. It's easy to use and operate (but no on/off switch)but it's just as messy as frying stove top.

My fryer spits grease out the top even with the lid closed. I don't think the seal is strong enough and I...

Pros: Attractive, easy to use, produces great fried food.

Cons: No on/off switch, basket tends to sit just a bit low.

The Bottom Line: A great family fryer, generous capacity, easy to use and attractive on the counter.

Review: I purchased this after several ordeals with various other fryers. I also bought the black model which for some reason they call the "professional" one but the only difference is the color.

I prefer the black as it will continue to look...
