Presto 05443 CoolDaddy Deep Fryer

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. There is no on/off switch, so when I went to plug it in the first time, I got a spark from my electrical outlet. Also, it has one of those quick disconnect, magnetic connections ...

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 have to ...
