Overview
An 8 liter countertop deep fryer built from 0.8mm stainless steel for restaurant and food truck use, rated at 1800 watts with a swing-up drain head and copper draining valve.
A German-made EGO thermostat is the headline spec, claimed to hold temperature within about 7 degrees. Owner experience with continuous commercial use is mixed, with at least one food truck operator questioning whether it outperforms cheaper models.
- 8L oil capacity, 1800W
- EGO thermostat, claimed +/-7F accuracy
- Swing-up drain head with copper valve
- 0.8mm stainless steel commercial-grade body
Who it's for
Home cooks and small operators frying in batches for gatherings or occasional service. Less suited to a food truck needing all-day continuous frying without nightly draining.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers using it for family gatherings and events say it heats quickly, holds temperature, and is easy to clean, while one describes it reaching 350F in about 8 minutes. Experience diverges for continuous commercial use, with one food truck operator reporting the drain doesn't fully clear unless flushed every night and that heat retention was no better than a cheaper 1500W fryer, and another describing a frustrating refund after an early failure.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Heats up quickly per multiple reviewers
- Holds temperature well for family-scale or event frying
- Copper drain valve simplifies oil changes
Performance notes
The EGO thermostat regulates heat while the 1800W element brings oil to temperature; the swing-up drain head and copper valve route used oil out for cleaning or changing without lifting the unit.
