DeLonghi D650UX Cool Touch Deluxe Deep Fryer Review

DeLonghi D650UX Cool Touch Deluxe Deep Fryer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For $50 you can't beat this as a basic fryer, especially if purchasing for a smaller household. The capacity is enough to cook for 2 or 3 at a time, the unit is well-designed and solidly built, and even though it lacks a temperature control it heats the oil to 375 degrees (I checked with a cooking thermometer) which is what most recipes seem to recommend. The filter system works well to contain odors and the drainage tube makes cleaning a breeze. The only issue I've had is that it's hard to avoid condensation on the viewing window, but that's no big deal. Highly recommended.

DeLonghi D406DZ Dual Zone Deep Fryer, 3-Pound Capacity Review

I originally had my eye on the T-Fal 3378100 Maxi Pro deep fryer but a recent series of bad reviews lead me to consider other options. Before buying a deep fryer I did a lot of research on the Internet and narrowed my focus to the following criteria:
Most capacity. Have you seen the inside of the small deep fryers? You'd be hard pressed to get even one potato worth of fries in those things. I really don't like working in batches as it makes it hard to time the meal so I wanted something that held A LOT. With over a gallon of oil capacity, it is the largest I've seen short of commercial models.
Temperature recovery. Once you drop the cold food into the deep fryer the oil temp will go down. How quickly the unit recovers makes the difference between soggy and crispy golden brown. With an exposed heating element I felt I got faster recovery and when I cooked fish the drop was only about 20 degrees and for a very short time.
Easy clean up. The frying vessel is stainless steel and goes inside the aluminum exterior you see. This is removable and has corners for easy pouring. It is also very nice that the cover, fry vessel and basket can be put in the dishwasher. The only part that gets dirty and needs to be cleaned by hand is the heating element.
HOT HOT HOT. Well, this is the only area where the unit let me down. The company says the maximum tempeature is 360 but I couldn't get anything over 345. The temperature is a little low but the food I made came out just fine. You may need to fry things for a bit longer but this is less hassle since the machine is automatic compared to an open pot on the stove.
I honestly think the only way to do better than this unit is looking to commercial equipment which is not feasible given a home environment. The unit performs well even when pushed to the limit (yes, I tried loading the thing up with a full 3 pounds) and is more convenient than a pot on the stove. I will admit that the unit is *very* simple. No electronic doodads, timers and the like. This is a good thing, however, since there is less to break and in the end the unit works for the reason you bought it.

This sleek professional style fryer from trend-setting De Longhi, has many attractive features. The small bits and pieces of food that fall to the bottom won't burn, ruin your cooking oil, and stink up your kitchen, thanks to the "cool zone" under the heating element. Having the heating element right in the frying chamber results in even frying temperature and faster frying (which actually makes fried food healthier as less oil is absorbed). This unit has removable parts for easy cleaining and a stay cool handle on the frying basket.

All told, the product is a great value. It functions as described; capacity is great; holds its temp well; its good-looking; its not *too* bulky, tho it is a big fryer; drain plug is very useful; the filter system protects the kitchen from grease and keeps the grease clean and re-usable; it is also easy to take apart and clean thoroughly. The only negative on the machine itself is that the digital display is hard to read, but I had anticipated that issue based on reviews I read previous to my purchase. However, I was expecting a 're-conditioned' product based on the description from the seller. When the package arrived, the cookbook was literally DIRTY with food from a previous owner and the box had someone elses carpet fiber and hair stuck in the tape that sealed the box--very unprofessional on the part of the seller, I think. The fryer itself seemed unused, so I printed a new cookbook off the website, threw out the dirty box and I kept the fryer-- and I'm glad I did.

DeLonghi D14427DZ Dual-Zone Deep Fryer, Stainless Steel Review

DeLonghi D14427DZ Dual-Zone Deep Fryer, Stainless Steel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have no excuse for buying a fryer, I have a high stress job, am an ex-athelete, whose eating habbits have gone down the drain. Buying a fryer, especially one as good as this, has further added to my fat and cholestrol intake.
This fryer comes from a very good design house, DeLonghi based out of Italy makes some really good products, but be advised, this unit is : "Made in China". So it is not that well built. The outer body is thin sheet metal which will bend very easily.
But that said, it has a solid inner oil chamber and a good and solid frying basket. What I like is the concern for customer safety, often at times, a person might mistakenly pull a power cord and trip the appliance. Now if you do that with a fryer filled with boiling hot oil....I leave possible implications to your imagination. The DeLonghi takes care of such an eventuality by 2 very simple, basic, yet very effective principles.
1) The power cord is short, so you wont have any extra length to get entangled in.
2) The power cord is connected to the fryer by a magnetic connection. Nothing plugs in, it is just held by a permanent magnet. So in case there is a minor tug, the power cord will disconnect, and you wont trip it.
Regarding operation, really it could not be simpler. I am used to complicated sequences and special dances which need to be performed whenever any new appliance is being used for the first time. So I picked up the manual, connected the unit to the power supply, filled it with oil between the min and max limits, and then looked up the manual for setting the temperature and timer. It was ridiculously simple. The unit automatically sets the temperature to 320, all I had to do was to press + or - to increase or decrease (respectively) the temperature. After that, you press the mode/start button now the timer display comes on, you press + or - to increase the time to the desired number of minutes. Then you press the mode/start button again, and the unit heats the oil within to the desired temperature and beeps to let you know when that is done. Now you immerse the basket with the goodies inside, and press the start button and the unit counts down the time till the timer runs out and then beeps to let you know.
The beeps are loud and clear, so if you set the unit in the kitchen, to heat up or are waiting for the food to be cooked, and you are seated in the living room catching a movie, even then you will be able to make out the beep. That is a good feature. God knows how many pizzas I have burned in convection ovens which never beeped loud enough for me.
The lid has a glass window, which is basically useless, because when you start frying, the vapor obscures the view. But thats not a major problem. I have never seen this sputter, so you can safely take off the lid to check how the food is being cooked.
There are 2 problems however.
1) The oil takes way too long to heat. Almost 12 to 15 minutes to heat from 68 degrees to 356 degrees. Thats a lot of power consumption.
2) The manual states that the unit must be filled with oil in between the min and max levels which are pointed out on the inner side of the container. Now thats kind of hard to make out after you have fried food in the unit a few times. The remains obscure the markings.
Apart from these few minor complaints, I am pretty pleased with its robust performance, ease of use and excellent quality. The food is always cooked to perfection. I have absolutely no complains here.
I would honestly recommend this unit, because of its safety features and great quality and the excellent brand name of DeLonghi. I do feel this unit is built to last.
Thanks,
Kaushik

This is a good fryer - as far as it goes. It works nicely, has some good features that make it easier to clean than an old-fashioned bucket-type fryer. But it has a glaring design flaw. The heating unit attaches to the metal frame using a plastic bracket. If that bracket breaks - and, believe me it will - the unit becomes useless. That heating unit has to be securely attached to the frame in order to operate and once that bracket cracks, there is no way to operate the unit. Might as well flush $89 down the toilet. I am on my third unit and it has happened every time. I recommend avoiding this machine until DeLonghi replaces the plastic bracket with a more durable metal one. With that change, I would give this unit a clear five stars.

I just love this little machine, but with all things there is room for improvement.
First things first. The ease of cleaning is amazing for a fryer. Just drain the oil with the spiffy little drain tube, wipe out the insides, throw the basket in the dishwasher and your home free. It's compact and takes up less room then most conventional fryers, I'm a real fan of its internal design which keeps my lovely self from being burned during the cooking process, and if you squint your eyes, glance at it sideways, imagine it with some Scfi accessories it looks vaguely like R2D2. It is great for a 2 person household and cooks food well.
Now for the suggestions. The food capacity needs to be increased to cut down on the time it takes to complete your frying projects. The frying temps need to be increased (all true cooks know that for the best fryed chicken and fish you need temps that reach a little beyond 370). That's all I can think of for the moment. Happy frying.

This is a great little fryer, but because of its limited capacity, it would be difficult to use for a family more than 2, in my opinion. The fryer works fantastic and I only have one complaint. There is an area on the rear of the fryer that collects oil and is difficult to clean. Imagine opening the lid and having all the moisture run to the back hinge of the lid. The oil that collects doesn't get into the rear hinge, but it collects in a small crevice that should be easier to clean. It's a small nuicance though since the fryer really works great; it wouldn't prevent me from purchasing it again. Also, the top does detach from the base which makes it very easy to clean, I just throw it in the dishwasher after I clean around the rubber seal. You can also throw the basket into the dishwasher and it comes out looking great as well.
This is in regards to the reviewer who said the fryer has poor performace with battered foods. If you put your battered items in the basket and then drop it in the oil and don't stir it, then yes, you will have a mess as he says... However, this is easily worked around with one of two methods...
1. In order to cook battered foods successfully, you need to drop the basket in the oil first, and then place/wade your battered foods in the oil. This may sound a little dangerous, but if you're gentle, it's no problem at all. Emeril uses this method all the time on his show when he is frying a battered item. I've done it many, many times and have never had a problem, and I batter A LOT of foods. Now, with this process they will still stick to the wire basket as he mentions, but it is MUCH less. Once the item is in the oil you can use steel tongs to move it a bit to keep it from sticking. As long as you do this in the first few seconds, it won't stick at all and the rest of the frying goes flawlessly. If it sounds hard or like a lot of work, it isn't; it's actually quite easy. I batter shrimp, veggies, & oysters, and even though they do get a little stuck sometimes, it's nothing major, and it certainly does not "destroy" the food as he mentions.
2. The other method that I've used a lot is to not use the basket at all. Sometimes when I want to make a Blooming Onion I will need to remove the basket so that I have enough depth to the fryer so the oil with cover the onion. I am able to fry a medium onion that is battered, but it is a tight fit. In order to get the onion out, I use an "All-Clad Stainless Skimmer" that I bought here on Amazon. It works perfectly for fishing stuff out of the oil when you're not using the basket, but any similar device that isn't flimsy would work well too.
One other thing regarding the oil. If you've never purchased large quantities of oil in the grocery store, look to see the prices...it tends to get expensive very quickly. Before I purchased this fryer, I read the reviews about it saving oil and how great that was. Well... that wasn't a big selling point for me at the time, but now, whenever I have to fill up my fryer and buy more oil, it's the feature that I love most. I really does save A LOT of oil. You can even drain the oil into the included container and put it in the refrigerator to reuse later on.
-------4 years of use update--------
I can't believe I've been using this fryer for 4 years! Now that I look back on this purchase, I can firmly say that I'm a VERY satisfied customer. The fryer still performs flawlessly, and it continues to see a lot of use. It's really a well-built unit, unlike some of the less-expensive models I've seen. I had some friends that wanted to buy a fryer after they saw what things I was able to cook in mine. They didn't want to pay the price for this fryer, so instead they purchased a less-expensive model. Well, the one they ended up getting was less money, but it broke after about 18 months; they are now on their second fryer. So, not only have they now spent more on fryers, but they also spend more on oil because their model does not have a tilted basket.

I bought this fryer mainly because of its capacity, we're a family of 4, and because I heard good things about it. I am so glad I did! This fryer cooks 3 pounds of food perfectly! I made a ton of homemade potato chips tonight. This fryer is easy to use and easy to clean, and, as a bonus, it's easy to drain so you can save your oil.
When I was a teenager I worked at Burger King, and cooking with this fryer made me feel like I was at the fry station again (not that I want to relive that feeling). But, really, it has an actual basket that lowers into the hot oil and it has a place to set the basket so when your food is done it drains properly.
My Chinese chicken and broccoli has never tasted so good! This fryer is a gem.
If you like to cook and want to cut down your cooking time on foods such as french fries, chicken, fish for tacos etc..., then this is definitely a purchase to make. Amazon has free shipping on this fryer which is why I bought it from them.
We had a Fry Daddy years ago, and there is absolutely no comparison whatsoever between the Fry Daddy and this Delonghi fryer. Delonghi is light years ahead.
This deep fryer won't disappoint!

For cooking restaurant-quality fried foods at home, this simple-to-use deep fryer uses the same frying technology found in commercial fryers. Its Dual Zone technology creates a "cool zone" located beneath the heating element to prevent food from burning and to help reduce odor and keep oil clean. The unit's extra-large 3-pound food capacity provides ample space for evenly frying everything from delicious French fries and onion rings to mozzarella sticks or doughnuts. The fryer's digital, adjustable thermostat with an indicator light supplies the control and flexibility needed to fry foods according to individual preferences, while its permanent mesh filter prevents the release of oil vapors and odors into the kitchen. Other highlights include a digital timer, a viewing window, an oil-drain system, a removable heating element for convenient cleanup, and a magnetic cord that detaches if accidentally pulled. The deep fryer measures approximately 10-2/3 by 17-1/3 by 10-5/6 inches and dishwasher-safe parts make cleanup a snap.
