Reader Reviews Honestly I was a bit dubious of this product initially, considering its price point. But after having used it for the last few months I can definitely recommend it. Previously I had a Delonghi, which was a great design but did not hold the temperature very well and eventually the drain hose began leaking (oddly they do not sell replacement hoses which is really ridiculous). I had never heard of Aroma before, but figured for this price it was worth a shot. Turned out to be a great purchase. PROS Much larger well than some of the other fryers I checked out and allows for the basket to submerge fairly deep. No problem covering the items fully in the oil. Because of its size, the temperature stays pretty consistent, even when the basket is full. Heats up fairly quickly considering the size of the well. Pretty easy to clean, and the design of the well (it separates from the rest of the unit) makes it much easier to drain than I though it might. Temperature gauge seems accurate CONS I HATE the way the timer on this is done... It's handled via a multi-function button, which you can easily screw up when you are in a hurry. No easy way to just put it "3 minutes" and let it go. For some people this will be less of a deal breaker than others, but seriously - I would pay 10 bucks more for the same unit with a real stand-alone easy-to-program timer. Overall I highly recommend, especially if you do large batches of fries or tortillas. This is a great product for the money. |
