Cuisinart CDF-130 Deep Fryer, 2 Quart, Stainless Steel

We have had this fryer for several years now. It gets quite a lot of use and my thermometer says the dial matches very closely the heat of the oil. A good investment for the kitchen and in particular when you have kids who like french fries.

Es muy útil y mis hijos les gustan sus papas fritas en ellas

I had a Waring Pro version of this that has served me well for almost 20 years. Then one day it gave out. Searching on Amazon, this came up as an exact replacement. It seems Cuisinart took over Waring Pro as this is very similar to the original except for one major thing; how the basket hangs on the edge of the oil pan. In the original there was a small tab inside the oil pan, and the basket had a little metal wire. On this one the basket has an "L" shaped tab, and the basket sits on the edge of the pan. Why is this important, you ask? Because with the original you could have the basket hanging and put the lid on the unit. With the new one, you cannot put the lid on, as it will not sit flush. Why change perfection? Otherwise the deep fryer is great, and I hope to get another 20 years of usage out of it.

Estéticamente me gusta, es pequeña para mi cocina asi que cuadra bien. Calienta super rapido

Muy buena la recomiendo

I found very few reviews for this Cuisinart CDF-200 and bought it mostly on Cuisinart reputation, hopefully my review will prevent others from wasting time/effort/money on this deep fryer.It has what I (I'm a mechanical engineer with a background in data aquisition and controls) consider to be a fundamental design flaw. There are two temperature sensors mounted on the heating element. One that provides closed loop feedback control to regulate temperature and one that provides a hard cutoff if the high-limit temperature is exceeded. The high limit thermostat actually touches the heating element rather than being surrounded by oil which causes it to be hotter than the actual oil. I suspect this was intended to provide a safety shutoff in case the fryer was turned on with no oil, but it causes more problems than it fixes.My unit would heat to about 340F (should go to 375F) and would stop working with no easily visible indicator (power light still on, etc.) and would not reach the set temperature. I finally realized that the small recessed reset button had popped out, and pushing back in would allow the unit to start heating again but not beyond 340F.Overall, the build quality is trash, with lots of sharp edges and very thin sheetmetal, but I've come to accept that all consumer products are built this way and could have looked past it to give it 3-4 stars if the unit actually worked.Even if my unit was faulty (I certainly hope not all of their fryers are bad from the factory) I can point out multiple BAD design decisions. As an engineer, I'm begging consumers not to tolerate this garbage.

Just replaced our last fryer of 8 years. Same name brand so why change?

It works great! The fried food is delicious. It is easy to clean.
