    Product Description
    The Delonghi D895UX Roto Fryer has a large frying basket that allows you to accommodate almost any type of food. An easy oil drainage system with oil collecting container makes clean-up safe, fast and simple. The convenient oil-collecting container with nylon filter allows you to store oil for future use. The magnetic cord easily detaches from the fryer if accidentally pulled. This unique safety feature is designed with a condensation shield to prevent dripping onto the cord connection. Exterior lift handle basket can be raised or lowered with the fryer lid closed to prevent splattering Non-slip feet keep fryer in place Side handles make the unit easy to carry Stay-cool exterior walls keep the fryer safe to the touch Viewing window lid allows you to monitor the cooking process safely Two replaceable filters - Dual filtration prevents the release of oil vapors and odors into your kitchen Dimensions - Width 14.76 x Depth 12.01 x Height 9.45

    This impressive appliance is designed to be easy and safe to use, clean to operate and wash, and produce exceptional food. It delivers on all accounts. The detailed instructions lead you through the process of heating oil to the correct temperature, then lowering the frying basket into the oil as the lid remains closed. This means that odors and mess are kept inside the fryer.

    A Better Frying Experience

    The D895UX features a patented rotating basket. This titled rotating basket revolves the food through the oil provides. The end result if that it allows you to use half the amount of oil normally required--without sacrificing anything in taste. The whole process makes surprisingly nongreasy food because the oil is heated evenly to the correct temperature. You end up with healthier, but still scrumptious, fried foods. And, the windowed lid allows you to monitor the cooking process safely.

    A Host of Great Features

    The fryer has a non-stick interior that is easy-to-clean, while the adjustable thermostat with indicator light allows you to set frying temperature from 300 to 370 degrees, giving you the flexibility to fry foods jus the way you like them. A built-in digital timer with bell can be pre-set; a viewing window lets you check on the food while it's cooking. Safety is built in--the sides of the fryer remain cool, and the hot oil stays inside, and non-slip feet keep fryer in place. When the food is done, there’s an exterior lift handle that makes it easy to raise or lower the basket with the fryer lid closed to prevent splattering. The 1.5-pound capacity accommodates ample French fries, calamari, or tempura for four.
    Easy Cleanup

    DeLonghi gives careful attention to cleanup. Forget dealing with messy, hot oil. The ingenious easy clean oil drain system makes draining and recycling cooking oil safe and easy. Simple open the door on the front of the unit and drain. A tube unfolds from a hidden compartment and efficiently drains the oil so that it can be used again--a system that's both easy and clean. The lid and frying basket are dishwasher-safe. There are two replaceable filters--dual filtration prevents the release of oil vapors and odors in the kitchen—and a detachable cord with patented condensation shield. For safer operation, the magnetic cord easily detaches from the fryer if accidentally pulled. This unique safety feature is designed with a patented condensation shield to prevent dripping onto the cord connection. The fryer measures 14-3/4 by 12 by 9-1/2 inches and weighs 10.8 pounds. --Sherry Smith

    Great little fryer for small batches
    So far I have used this to cook up some frozen shredded potato patties and some tater tots, as well has some hand-cut fries.

    They all turned out well. Since I am new to deep-frying, a couple batches were a bit over-done, but no burned batches.

    I am using canola oil, since that is what is available in my market in larger bottles. Since this thing I will splurge a bit and try the peanut oil the instructions recommend once the canola oil runs out.

    I have found the window gets too coated with condensation to see into the fryer all that well, but it is better than totally guessing.

    Opening the lid needs care when frying, as the steam will come out right at your hand if you hit the button and try to hold the lid with one hand. So use two hands for that.

    Cleaning it is easy. There is a pull-out holder for the oil box that you drain the oil into. The oils drains pretty much 100%, maybe less than a teaspoon left in the whole thing, which can be wiped up with a paper towel. A soft sponge cleans up the rest easily. I have not noticed any need to clean the filters in the lid yet.

    One little design issue I see right away, is there is no marker in the tank for the proper oil level. You need to measure it out with a marked cup and then pour in the correct amount. Some sort of indicator mark would be welcome. I can see some issues if you use it a lot and need to top up the oil. With no mark, you will be guessing when adding more oil, unless you drain it, measure it and top it up in your measuring cup, then dump it back in. Minor, but ...

    All in all, considering all the hassles of the other larger deep fryers, (storage space, cleaning, etc), if you want a fryer for small batches, enough for 1-2 people, maybe 3-4 if the servings are small, this is a good choice.


    Update 28-June-2009: This does have high-low marks for the oil. They were not illustrated in the manual, and are only visible when you turn the thing so the handle is on the left. The marks are on the right side and not visible from the front, as I was using it, or from the other side, which I also did.
    Makes great tater-tots.

    Excellent Fryer!!
    This is a fantastic fryer. My tater tots are finally crispy! Peanut oil works the best and gives the best flavor. The fryer is very easy to clean and uses less oil than other fryers because of the tilted, rotating basket. Very clever design.

    Neat idea - terribly cheap implementation
    We bought this fryer about 3 years ago, drawn to it by its innovative design and safety features. Unfortunately, even while unpacking, I was concerned about the cheap rubber hose used to drain the oil. However, we put the unit in service and found it very useful for our light-duty needs: frozen french-fries, Tampura shrimp, and similar items. Alas, as feared, the rubber hose has now cracked, resulting in an oil leak at the base of the unit. The rubber hose is clearly not replaceable - so a $100+ machine is dead because of a clearly cheap and callous manufacturing choice.

    While no reviewer has reported a safety issue with this design, DeLonghi has since created other fryers with an actual valve to drain the oil such as their DeLonghi D24527DZ Esclusivo Dual Zone 3-Pound-Capacity Deep Fryer. The penny-wise pound-foolish manufacturing in this model could have the potential of a catastrophic failure and certainly drastically shortens the usable life of the product. While we liked this concept of this fryer, we have replaced it with a conventional and conservative design. Unless you can afford to buy a new fryer every few years, this isn't the model for you.

    Deep fryer
    I love the fryer. The food cooked quickly and browned evenly all over. Clean up was easy. It was easy to use.

    Great item
    We had a fryer that was more for one or two people that was a lot harder to clean...adventually it became slower and slower before the food was done. This product is quick and easy to clean the oil (too expensive to throw away). If you use peanut oil, there is not oil taste. All and all highly recommend.
