Swan 1.5 Litre Stainless Steel Fryer with Viewing Window, Easy Clean and Adjustable Temperature Control, 900 W, Silver, SD6060N

I was a little apprehensive reading some of the reviews of this product, so I was definitely surprised and happy with it when it arrived and used a couple of times.My main reason for buying the item was I needed a smaller chip fryer as we are only 2, and something that can fit into my already full to the brim cupboards.This little chip fryer was perfect for that. I read comments that the fryer only cooks one portion but to me that’s an extra large portion of chips from the fish and chip shop that is something I usually share. So in effect in can easily cook 2 portions of restaurant sized portions not fish and chip shop large portions.Yes the window does steam up so you can’t really see the chips but no hardship opening and lifting the tray to view the chips.The lines inside the unit clearly mark the oil capacity. If you overfill the oil it will overspill. Otherwise no spillage. Found this out first use, no issues on second or third use.It’s so easy to clean to. After use I simple fill the unit with soapy water after I’ve removed the oil, and let it soak for a while, then pour out, and with the damp sponge wipe clean.I love the way the handle can easily detach and be placed inside the tray with the unit, and how the cable also fits into the handle area, so when putting away can easily store inside, very compact.Yes the basket can bend, but not sure why you’d deliberately try and push it? I literally just take it out, and soak in a bowl, job done.To remove the oil I simply pour the out into a funnel and back into my chip oil bottle. You can use the oil again a number of times depending on the oil you use. I just literally tilt the unit down into my funnel and pour from the corner down. Simple.Great little fryer. Definitely recommend for a couple or single person who just wants to fry chips.

I've been trying all sorts of deep fat friers for years but this is the only one that never disappoints. It does dry food as well as frozen food, using the same good quality frying oil over and over and producing the same great results over and over. Just one word of warning. The manufacturer recommends 12 minutes on max setting for chips (fries). Don't. Max 4 minutes or earlier. Keep an eye on anything you fry after the first 3 minutes. But I cook for 2 max, so record your own observations. I must say the smartest thing about this is the ability to just let the oil drain fully, due to the design - this is certainly a great feature. Some items seem to cloud the glass, but opening the lid to check doesn't seem to negatively affect the frying process in any way. I have been using this daily for over two weeks - a lot longer maybe, it never let me down. I'll never use any other deep fryer. Absolutely great value for money and best ever quality. Highly recommended.

When our daughter moved out, our Tefal Pro fryer, naturally went with her. As a lover of chips, it would have been unfair to deprive her of an essential food group. This left my wife and I in a quandary - Replace it like for like or buy something cheaper? As our daughter had prompted the purchase due to her youthful fried food obsession, we decided for the latter option. That is not to say that the Tefal was not an excellent fryer, it would be my first recommendation if asked, but being practical and thrifty, we decided to shop around as our household chip consumption was going to decrease considerably.The only major advantage I could find with the Swan was it had a temperature light and a power indicator, something the Tefal omitted. The Tefal indicator only illuminated while the element was heating, which I consider a poor design. If you are forgetful, it would be all too easy to leave the fryer on inadvertently, once it has come up to temperature. So a big plus point to Swan for this. The Swan also seemed to reach a slightly higher temperature than the Tefal, something important when double-frying chips.The Tefal though, came through on the build quality. There were no sharp edges on the casing and lid, and the design of the basket and handle was much more robust. The Swan, by comparison, felt a bit cheap and cheerful. At a considerably lower price point than the Tefal, that is to be expected. The Tefal also had a slightly deeper internal capacity. That said though, for a hungry family of 4 you would need to cook in two batches with either fryer if you want decent, crispy chips or a indeed, lot of them.Chip wise, both made excellent double-fried chips without drama. So the final result here is a tie.In conclusion, if you are just intending to cook chips once in a while, provided you take care cleaning it and using the basket, the Swan is fine. If you are looking to cook chips more regularly, I'd recommend spending a bit more and getting the Tefal. Both are easy to clean, but the ruggedness and better build quality of the Tefal shines through in that regard.

This is excellent. An amazing deep fat fryer. 2.5 litres . Sits on worktop just fine. Easy to set up and use. Way better than a risky air fryer. Cooks food perfectly. Not even greasy . Beats the chip shop . And at the price point…. Truly fantastic.

Good product

A very compact fryer ideal for 1 or 2 people. Making chips in cold oil as the instruction leaflet suggested gave perfect results.My only gripe is that the oil pan min and max markings are difficult to see, the suggested temperature markings could be better if on the lid rather than the body. The viewing window ha little use as it steams up when in use.Putting those aside, it a very nice looking device and does as it is designed to do. I| have no complaints.

Works well. Chips are nice.It is very cheaply made - but it only costs £25 so wasn’t expecting much. Heats up very quickly as well.Downsides - you have to put the food in the basket, open the lid and lower the basket manually - no lowering mechanism. Other main problem is that there is no seal on the lid. I have a very small kitchen, so once it has cooled I need to move it into the next room. Result - oil everywhere.Don’t expect much. All in all it’s ok, but would not recommend for the elderly as it’s all a bit manual.

Brilliant, definitely value for money, good quality, didn't know you could still but them , love it thanks 👍
