De'Longhi D895 DeLonghi D28313UXBK Roto Deep Fryer, Black/Silver

I purchased this item on Oct 19th 2011. That's nearly five years ago - never had a problem with it. I have tried many other deep fryers and none compare overall with this one. The only problem I had was the lid on the oil drainer cup would keep splitting. That is not a consideration with the new model, no oil drainer cup, it drains into a jar or oil holder. I have used the T-fal easy clean and it works very well but does not justify the price over this. It also had problems reaching max temp and holding it - the fryer doesn't have that problem. The Roto fryer uses much less oil than any other fryer of the same capacity, so it is easy to move with oil in it. It reaches temp quickly and also returns to temp after addition of cold food, I guess that's because there is less oil to heat. you can store the oil in use in the fryer. Wish they would make a Digital one, make it easier to see the temp it is at. By far the best deep fryer I have owned and I have had everything from Fry Baby through Fry Daddy and the expensive Bellville Smart Fryer: (which broke after a couple of months). Exceptionally good deep fryer and reasonably priced.It is a little awkward to cook battered food - make sure you dip it in the hot fat before dropping into fryer, or it will stick to the basket., not a real problem because that is what battered food fryers normally do After 5 years using this appliance I still say it is a worthwhile investment if you are not a Fish and Chip aficionado. The oil never gets above 350 F it should be 370 F to really crisp the fish batter but its not bad, edible anyway! I have given up on the lid for the oil container each one they send me has the same problem, but they have now discontinued it anyway. The new friers don't have the shelf and container for oil - you have to use a jug or bottle to catch the oil and filter it your self.

Many years ago I bought a fryer almost just like this from QVC and loved it. When I finally died, I searched all over for one that was similar and I finally found it in this De’Longhi Roto Deep Fryer. Just to test it out I made some deep fried tortilla chips and they turned out perfect! I used Vegetable Oil and it heated up to 350 degrees quicker than I expected. My old version of this fryer didn’t have the ‘tilted’ feature, but it works great and uses less oil that way. The window on the top is not of much use as it immediately steams up, but that is no big deal-I expected it. I set the timer for 3 minutes and it worked like a charm frying the chips to perfection. One of the big reasons that I like this fryer is that it doesn’t leave my house with that horrible ‘Greasy Diner’ smell. The carbon filter seems to do a good job with odors, but I did use new oil so we will see how it does with older filtered oil. Clean up was a breeze. After I let the grease cool, I just parked it by the sink with a coffee can to catch the oil from the rubber hose. If I were doing a messy cook, I would place a strainer over the can to catch the loose fried crumbs. Then, I just added soapy water to the fryer, wiped with a rag and drained the water into the sink making sure to thoroughly rinse the soap out, including the hose. I left the hose out to completely dry before storing it away. I know that frying food is not the most healthy option, but it tastes SO good :) This fryer takes the hassle out of deep frying and cleaning up afterwards. If I could give it more that 5 start, I would!

In fact I just had some for lunch. Great unit.. the only reason why I gave it 4 out of 5 was that this is the second one. The first one turned on... started warming up to about 270 degrees and then stopped working. Amazon was great... swapped it out so fast that I thought the old one was still on the porch. The new one... takes about 5-7 minutes to heat up the oil... throw in your favorite items and they are ready in no time. I have been cooking with Olive oil, it does not last as long as some of the other oils... but it is healthier for you and the items fried do not taste as greasy. I did use the drain tube feature.. i like it... so much faster and easier to drain and clean the unit out. Get yourself a screen if you want to reuse the oil you drain out. I hang it over the sink.. put a bowl in the sink and put a frying splatter screen on the bowl and use it as a large/medium particle filter. Unplug the cap off the hose and it drains out nicely. Great feature. No issues with frying unless you are going to fill it up quite a bit and the items have to stack on top of each other. I usually do two runs instead of doing it all at once. If you do load it up, just drop the bottom layer in for 30 seconds and then put the top layer on and then half way through give the items a shake in the basket and use some tongs to separate any pieces that are stuck togeather... and you will be fine by the time it finishes. Enjoy

Was searching for a replacement fryer... and decided to give this one a try. The chicken comes out amazing and non greasy. Just heat it to temp (light goes out) and add chicken (don't over crowd). The best part of this machine is the amount of oil required to fry. I was able to fit 4 drumsticks in without over crowding. I flipped it halfway through the 20-25 min process. The time chart for the chicken stated 7 min which is misleading cause that's more for nuggets lol. But the end result was perfectly crisped chicken and it was easy to clean and store the oil in an oil canister. Check out the videos for a more detailed example.

well people, i had 2 old stile units worked great. bought this new modle roto fri... dont cook good at all. i tryed to do fish well its the worst fish ever. ff are decent and thats it for this delongie just plane BAD. JUNK dont get hot enough. under cooks food. perhaps it is bad from the factory. 6 mounths old used 6 times maybe..

Me encanta esta freidora, muy sencilla de usar y lo mejor es que solo uso un litro de aceite y se puede sacar muy facil el aceite y para lavar se puede quitar la tapa de arriba.

フタがあるので、油ハネはしないし、臭いも少ない。温度調節された中でクルクル回るので焦げることも無い。唐揚げ、フライが楽に上手にできます。タイマー付なのでその場を離れても大丈夫。ポテトフライなんて揚げたてを食べてる合間に次のを揚げられます。 ただ、天ぷらには適さないです。

Totally useless for use in the UK 110v not 240v

This was the best ever purchase. I used one for years but lost it after moving. I tried all the other ones but no luck. I do all the frying with this one. Ready in minutes. Easy to use. Easy to clean. You don't need too much oil to fill. The only thing you have to keep an eye on the oil and change it when starts to foam, but is not the fault of the fryer but the oil.

We had a Delonghi fryer for over 20 years so we started checking online for replacement options when it finally gave up on us and we were pleasantly surprised to be able to find a similar product online today! This product is easy to use and cooks really well and quickly just like our previous one so we could not be happier!
