Tefal Fitra One Fryer

Excellent fryer, bought this for my mom as a gift. I have used mine for 3 years and its still in great shape. Big size, great for familys, cleaning isnt the easiest as bowl isnt removable but cleans well with a good degreaser and gentle scourer.

Brilliant value. Cooks chip's to perfection and is fast to heat oil up so no waiting 15-20 mins before you can cook in it. Filter gets almost all residue out so increases longevity of the oil. A very good all round cooker

This is sold as a fryer which will filter your oil and yes it has a mesh filter in the base below the the basket. However, it is a coarse mesh and only takes out larger fragments, so you still get the gunge in the bottom of the bowl. What it has done, is make me filter the oil before using the fryer every time, which I didn't do before. The bowl is easy to clean, being round, but is not removable for washing. Basket, filter and lid can be dishwashed.Cooking results are good and the thermostat is effective, but you cannot raise and lower the basket with the lid closed. Although slightly disappointed at the "Filta" description, it looks great on the work top, not taking up too much space or height and it has a good capacity.

Good looking fryer quite light to carry even with oil in no nasty smells and as I tend to use it just for chips crisps them nicely. Very easy to use just plug in and turn switch to on for the temperature needed. Recommended

This is a great fryer does perfect chips. Only thing against is the see through window steams up so you have to open the lid, but apart from that it’s fine would recommend.

The essential thing to know here is that it is, in its purest form, a basic deep fat fryer. The temperature control is useless. The fat is either very hot or not hot enough. You can’t reliably leave items to cook and walk away.Cooking chips means you’ll need to stir them to get an even finish.Donuts require constant turning and flipping over otherwise they just burn.The meshed frying pan allows for easy lowering of items into the oil but that makes the frying depth shallow and multiple batches are needed for a family of three or more.The worst part is emptying out the oil. The bowl is not removable and so you either have to spoon out the oil which takes ages, or pour it out. If you are trying to pour it into an empty container rather than down the sink, the oil pours over the lip of the bowl and to stop it pouring over everything, you also need a wide brimmed funnel.Cleaning is also more difficult than necessary as you have to either put the entire device under a tap or pour water into it from a jug.Pouring out the water then means lifting the entire thing, with lid flapping about, just to clean out the water and suds. It is an unnecessarily arduous task.Thinking about this review and all the negatives, I’d have to say it is not a good item to purchase. In fact, avoid.

Nice fryer if a little on the cheap side, the first one was broken as the slider for the temperatures was floppy so beware of that but this one is fine and heats up reasonably quickly

When I bought this fryer a few weeks ago from AMAZON it cost £39 . At this price it was well worth the money and the five stars as it is a good fryer with a new system to catch the small particles which always occur when deep frying. It works very well and is quick to heat up and cooks everything to a turn. However I do not consider it good value for money at today's asking price.UPDATEHaving used it for a while I decided to give it a clean. The biggest problem and a big one at that is the method for emptying the oil. There is no pouring lip and consequently as you pour out the oil into a container it also runs down the side of the fryer making a dreadful mess. Because this is a bad piece of design on an otherwise good fryer and at the present price, I cannot now recommend it.
