Its oil filtration genuinely earns its keep early on, though check that the plastic oil-storage bin still seals well if you're buying used or after a long warranty period.

Overview
T-fal's FR702D51 pairs a 3.5-liter deep fryer basket with a built-in oil filtration system that strains and stores oil for reuse, sized to fry for up to six people at a time.
- 3.5L oil capacity, up to 6 servings
- 300-375 F dial temperature range
- Automatic shutoff safety feature
- Dishwasher-safe basket and lid
Who it's for
Anyone who fries often enough to care about reusing oil, and prefers a simple dial over a digital display, is the target buyer. Skip it if you've had bad luck with plastic fryer components warping, since that's the specific failure mode several long-term owners describe.
Pros and cons
- Filters and stores oil for reuse
- Locking lid with viewing window
- Analog dial avoids inaccurate digital presets
- Cool-touch handles for safer handling
- Plastic oil-storage bin can warp over time
- Single indicator light, no separate ready light
- Occasional reports of units failing to power on
Performance notes
Oil drains through a bottom filter into a sealed plastic storage container after each session, which is what lets you reuse it instead of discarding it. Temperature is set by a dial between 300 and 375 F rather than a digital display, and a cool-touch handle plus locking lid with a viewing window let you check progress without opening it mid-fry.

It uses an analog dial for temperature (300-375 F) rather than a digital display.
How much food does the FR702D51 hold?
It holds up to 3.5 liters of oil and about 2.65 pounds of food, enough for roughly six servings at a time.
