A small fryer that does its job well for one or two servings at a time, buyers are consistently clear that its capacity is the limiting factor, not its cooking performance.

Overview
Salton's DF1539 is a compact 1 liter/quart deep fryer with a variable temperature dial, a nonstick oil bowl, and a wire mesh basket that locks to its handle for lifting food out. An 800-watt element and a breakaway magnetic cord round out the design.
The description covers frying fries, onion rings, donuts, fish and chicken wings, but the oil capacity is genuinely small.
- 1 liter/quart oil capacity
- Wire mesh basket with locking safety handle
- Adjustable temperature dial
- Breakaway magnetic safety cord
Who it's for
Singles or couples who want fried food occasionally without heating a full-size fryer, not larger households wanting to fry a whole meal at once.
Pros and cons
- Locking basket handle for safer lifting
- Small footprint and less oil used than a full-size fryer
- Basket capacity suits only one to two servings
- Not large enough for whole pieces of fried chicken
- Its small size surprised buyers who skipped the description
