love it,February 11, 2010
By ILshopper36from Carbondale, IL
"I bought this for my mom, who cooks dinner for my sister, myself and our families once a week. She was using the same old fryer forever, so I got her this upgrade. She loves it! She accidentally dropped it in a sink full of water so I will be going to buy her replacement today."

this fryer is awesome,December 15, 2009
By mcgrane21from richmond hill, ga
"It is super easy to use, quite and makes fried food much better than frying it on the stove top. I took it out of the box and in 5 minutes I was cooking homemade pot stickers and they were done in no time flat. They tasted better from the fryer than from the stove. Easy to clean and store. I love this fryer and will be making home made french fries tonight."

By TammyRN
"I love this Deep Fryer. I actually bought it for my Grandmother last year for Christmas and I recently moved in with her and found the deep fryer STILL IN THE BOX!! LOL!! So I used it and OMG, I am going to have to get one for myself. The food is cooked very evenly and MY FAMILY loved how crisp and nice looking the chicken was. I would definitely recommend it!!"

Best Deep Fryer on the Market!,December 7, 2009
By SmartSouthernShopperfrom Atlanta, GA
"I purchased this fryer 3 years ago after having a frydaddy and then another brand which I do not remember. This fryer is awesome! It is easy to clean with the removable frying bucket and the basket is very large which allows me to cook more at a time! It also has a setting where you can bring the basket up to drip the oil off before pulling it completely out. (Presto thought of everything!) I just recently got one for my sister (in September) and my mother (last month)."

Fry fry fry!,November 10, 2009
By mamadwarffrom Tracy,ca.
"I bought this a few weeks ago and have used it at least every other day. My family loves it! We have cooked snacks like mini corn dogs and fries, fun things like twinkies and then the ultimate: Fried chicken. Everything cooks evenly and turns out yummy. Clean up is easy, it heats up quickly and I love the safety features like the cover that goes down so no splash and also the magentic cord which can be quickly disconnected. It seems to be a very well thought out and well made product and I am very happy with it."

Simple and easy,September 28, 2009
By worththemoneyfrom Orlando, FL
"We put this on our registry not really knowing how much we would use it. Well its a good thing because we use it at least once a week! I don't eat much fried food but I LOVE chicken wings and now I can make them at home with no breading so they are a little healthier. Cooking and cleaning are a breeze with this. My only complaint is that it is not a little bigger... we have been making wings for football parties and I have to keep some warm in the oven while I finish cooking. If you are even thinking about buying it you should!"

Father's Day,July 22, 2009
By jguestfrom Columbia, SC
"I looked at this in the store for months before deciding to get it for my dad for father's day. Buying it was definitely the right choice. He loves it! There is a viewing window on the top so you can watch as it fries without running the risk of getting burned by grease spatter. There is a sturdy place for the basket to rest on when the food is out of the grease, and the basket drains well. It's also great because its casing does keep the exterior cool. Works for the basics: fries, chicken, shrimp, and of course FRIED OREOS (a South Carolina favorite!!!)"

By ApplianceLover
"This is an excellent product! I received this as a gift from a co-worker. I love it. It cooks my food evenly. Chicken, shrimp and french fires come out perfect. It does not leave a grease smell ingering around the house. Best of all, it is easy to clean. I've shopped around for deep fryers for a while but could not find one with a nice size basket. The basket in this fryer is just the right size. This product does not take up a whole bunch of space on the counter either. It's perfect for families as well as single people. I loved mine so much that I went out and bought some for my friends. They love theirs as well."

SUPERB!,May 7, 2009
By OnlyWearJeansfrom Orlando, Fl
"I LOVE THIS DEEP FRYER SO MUCH! IT COOKS EVERYTHING PERFECTLY! IT'S EASY TO USE AND EVEN THOUGH IT'S COMPACT YOU CAN COOK 5 PIECES OF CHICKEN AT A TIME! I ALSO LOVE THE CLOSED LID...NO SPLATTERING OR SPILLS. CLEANS UP IN A BREEZE AND THE BASKET CAN GO IN THE DISHWASHER! I BOUGHT IT ON SALE, BUT WOULD HAVE BEEN WORTH THE FULL PRICE. IT'S A GREAT PRODUCT!"

By pascalefrom new jersey
"I went to Macys hoping to buy a cusinart fryer, but they had run out. I hate to shop and rather than have to return to get the cuisinart I took the presto cooldaddy instead. I love this fryer!! First of all, the price was right. Also, it's large enough to fry many pieces of chicken, fish, etc. at once. The assembly was very easy and quick. But the best thing was how functional it is. It heats up quickly and fries easily and safely. I fried fish and steak during the weekend. It was nice and crispy on the outside yet moist and tender on the inside. I'm impressed and happy with this selection."

Perfect frying for the family !,April 13, 2009
By beb61from Rochester, NY
"The Presto CoolDaddy Deep Fryer was exactly what I was looking for. Frys food without a mess (cover eliminates splattering)...safety feature of a "cool" outside was important to me (grandkids reaching up on the counter). Components (frying basket and removable container for oil) easily washable or you can leave oil for another use. Enclosed recommendations for cooking specific foods helpful guideline. Food comes out restaurant good. Definitely recommend !"

Great results,January 26, 2009
By cj1419from Bakersfield California
"My husband and I had been looking at deep fryers for a while and decided on this one. We are quite happy with the results it gives us. Everything comes out nice and crispy and cooks quickly. The outside of the unit stays fairly cool and it's very easy to use not to mention clean up is great. No more spattered oil everywhere. We would definitely recommend this cooker."
