Russell Hobbs Electric Deep Fat Fryer, 2.5L capacity/can cook 1kg food, Carbon odour filter, Large observation window, Non-stick coated pan, Adjustable thermostat, Handle lift system, 1800W, 24570

Very good just does what it made to do and just what I need .

Nice device. Haven't used it yet but looks good.

It's a really good, little fryer. The hinges on the lid do squeak when it gets hot and they have also come unhinged a few times, when opening the lid, but I was able to put it back on pretty easily. All in all, it's a decent little fryer and it does it's job well. For the price, I certainly can't complain. I would give it 5 stars if it weren't for the small issues with the hinges.

Lovely and neat easy to use and makes lovely home made chips

Great capacity very light great taste

This is REALLY NOT a criticism of the retailer - their service was ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT! This is a review / criticism of the Russell Hobbs fryer. I have bought many Russell Hobbs products over many years. I trusted the company to provide a high quality product. I simply wanted a deep fat/ oil fryer, so my partner and I could indulge in chips once a week. So just two medium portions! (I don’t like oven chips!) This is advertised as a 2.5 litre deep fat fryer, which cooks up to a kilo of food for up to four people. VERY DECEPTIVE! 1. The fryer holds only 2 litres, not 2.5 litres, if you fill it to the maximum mark. 2. The temperature dial is useless. You have to turn it around nearly two times to heat it up. If you just dial around to the temperature number, the oil remains luke warm. 3. The basket (which is v flaky) is small and very shallow. It is impossible to lower a reasonable amount of food into the oil to cook. 4. The instructions for cooking chips specify to put only two layers into the small basket - barely enough for one person with an appetite, or perhaps three or four mice. 5. The Box states that this can cook up to a kilo of food. I cannot imagine what this food might be - lumps of lead, possibly? You’d have problems squeezing anything weighing a kilo into that weedy little basket! I used this for the first time this evening. While peeling the spuds, and chipping, I tried to put the chips into the little basket (not anywhere near the fryer) in two layers, and realised I would have to cook one (medium) portion at a time. So my partner and I would be eating at different times. (A bit like school - different sittings!) So nowhere near four portions! I abandoned the flakey, weedy basket, and put all my chips in the fryer without it, using my stainless steel scoop to put them in and pull them out. I’ve used a fryer before, but don’t recommend doing this unless you’re used to fryers. The chips were v nice. (Partner is happy man!) However, I remain v saddened that a once highly reputable company has produced such a poorly made and described product. PS Does anyone want a small, flaky fryer basket - unused - for nothing ? 😀 PPS I tried to put this review on Russell Hobbs’s own site, but their site ‘refused’ to register a ‘one star’ review - I wonder why???

The frying basket doesn't sit at the botton of oil reservoir, bit weird , seems a waste of oil , good for price ,

Ideal for single user chips in minutes no mess simple and safe

Very happy with my purchase
