I'D rather be FRIED than CLEAN this DADDY!
Pros:
Easy to use, less smelly due to filter.
Cons:
Cleaning takes WAY too much time, cant see through the viewing window (really fogs up).
The Bottom Line:
It's UNSANITARY unless you go out of your way to clean it every 5-6 uses. Oil buildsup in crevices and it's almost impossible to clean. More hassle than it's worth.

Author's Review
Alright... its better than the traditional FRYDADDY, but still needs improvement.
First, the pro's.
1~~~Nice Design-it is sleek looking and easy to store when not in use.
2~~~Very Easy To Use-instructions are simple and item comes assembled
3~~~Cool Touch Surfaces-you dont burn yourself as much as you do with the traditional ones because of the "cool" outside and the pop-up lid (which prevents most grease splattering)
4~~~Food Viewing Window-allows you to see food cooking (see con's also though)
5~~~Wide Range Of Temperature Settings-it heats up to 375 degrees and is relatively easy to set
6~~~Magnetic Insert Power Cord-you dont have to fumble to insert the power cord. It is magnetic, and plugs into the cooldaddy easily
7~~~Filter-Keeps out a little more odor than the traditional frydaddy
Second, the con's.
1~~~Impossible To Throughly Clean-There are too many crevices and little places on the basket. Even though I clean it with every use, I still have a very very hard time THUROUGHLY cleaning it (every 5 or 6 times, when oil is changed). It takes tons of time, and I have to use q-tips to get in some places. It truly is a large chore to do. So, unless you dont plan to clean it very often, be ready for a big HEADACHE!
2~~~Viewing Window-Why put the thing there if you can never see out of it (it ALWAYS fogs up when I cook in it). Its just a tease!
3~~~Needs A Longer Power Cord-The cord is waaayy too short, in my opinion. There is only one (inconvenient) spot in my kitchen where to cord will work.
4~~~Small Basket-Basket doesnt seem to hold much. I usually wind up making 2 or 3 batches of one type of food, for the family
5~~~Needs A Timer-It would be much easier if if had a built in timer, so that I dont need to remember to find and set the egg timer
6~~~Needs To Beep When Preheated-or something, so that I dont need to check the indicator light every few minutes
