Deni 9301
The Deni 9301 Mini fryer sorta works but not really.
On the plus side, the product is nicely styled, compact, has an adjustable thermostat, heating indicator light, fry basket, lid that can be placed on the oil tank while the fryer is still hot, and after a fasion it does function as a deep fryer for one or two people.
On the minus side, the thermostat only goes to 375 degrees which is not hot enough for crisp frying. The fryer is very lightly built so there is not enough mass in the oil tank to hold the heat when you emerse food in the oil. If you emerse a half basket of frozen french fries at an oil temperature of 375 degrees, the oil temperature will quickly drop to around 250 degrees and not recover much beyond 300 degrees before the fries are done. This results in soggy french fries. The fryer is slow to recover oil temperature between frying batches which makes cooking a second batch of something a protracted event. The handle on the fry basket has to be removed for storage rather than just folded. The oil will not pour out of the fryer without dripping because of the design of the oil tank lip.
Overall I would rate the Deni 9301 as a step in the right direction but it is in need of significant redesign to make it an effective product for its intended use. I wish I still had my 26 year old Oster mini fryer that finally gave up the ghost after many years of faithful service. The Oster was a far better product than the Deni 9301. Given how lightly the Deni 9301 mini fryer is built, I seriouly doubt it will be around very long. In good faith, I cannot recommend this product to anyone. The Deni 9301 is an improvement over nothing but it does not perform its intended mission very well.

Nice fryer, wish it was easier to clean
Needed a small fryer to quickly cook tater tots and fish sticks for the kids.
Pros: The fryer heats quickly and it doesn't take up much space on the counter.
Cons: kinda hard to see the temp numbers on the dial. You have to stoop down to counter hight to read them. My biggest problem with this fryer is its difficult to clean. The metal liner inside the unit is not removable. What this means is you have to very carefully hand wash the fryer, making sure you don't get anything but the interior of the fryer wet. Kind of a hassle. I wish it was removable and the next time around if this one quits working I'd buy one with a removable interior metal liner.

worked super..then Broke quickly!
I bought two of these. One for myself and the other for my Mother. We loved their convenience. The size is Perfect for small family dinner cooking. Efficient, and they do not use lots of oil like the big ones. Unfortunately, they both broke in a matter of weeks, perhaps months of weekly use. My mother used hers perhaps twice a week. It broke in weeks I rate it low therefor. Great concept poorquality. Eoropro makes the identical unit sold as their mini fryer. It is the same poor quality parts, labour and manufacture.
