The fryer worked like a charm for almost 7 months. Then, as many other reviews have mentioned, the right side quit working. Tried resetting. Even tried a different outlet with no luck. Can anyone help with this issue?

Worked great for six months and 13 days. Then one side stopped working and its only a six month warranty. Customer service was unable to help. Buy at own risk.

We've used this for one year and one week. The nozzles are coming apart and failing. Since it's a week past the warranty there is nothing they can do to help. This unit didn't stand up to the commercial rigor it was expected to. It did work for a year, so i gave it two stars for that. But I can't afford to replace equipment every year for manufacturer failings.

We appreciate your review, Katy. We are sorry to hear about your frustrations with this unit. We do think there is something here that could help others pick the right equipment, and may help you with your next fryer. While this medium-duty fryer serves many people very well, it is not for every application. Items marked "medium-duty", and carry the lowest pricing in their class have a great purpose, as they can help people starting out, they are great for lower volume operations, and they help people test the viability of new menu items. As a general rule of thumb, if they fail faster than you like, your best bet is to go with something more heavy-duty. We have many heavy-duty options that should be a better fit for you and our Customer Solutions team would be happy to help you in choosing!

the avantco dual tank fryer turned out to be much larger than we expected. we do chicken parm, french fries, and even perogies in it. everything turns out perfect! love that it has night covers to keep dust out of oil when not in use. you will want a dedicated circuit for both sides to keep from throwing breakers. if you are a small company or large private family you will love the size this fries up!

This fryer is a little powerhouse. I’ve never had to deal with cold oil temps, even after frying frozen foods; it recovers super quickly. Cleaning it can be a bit of a pain. But I’d still buy it again.

I have used this twice and cannot get either side up to temperature. it would only get up to 348 on one side and 346 on another side. so unfortunately because the package is opened and the unit has been used it cannot be returned. We were really looking forward to a small sized unit for personal use. Now it will sit in a box as cleaning it after 2 failures is enough. I do not recommend.

We use it as a portable fryer for festivals to promote our food and attract people to our pub. So it's not used everyday for 12-16 hours like many people are trying to use it for which I don't think it's designed for. You need to buy a real fryer if that's your intent, not a portable fryer. But if you are doing a wing fest competition, food show, or festival off site to promote your business, this thing works great, easy to clean and transport.

BEFORE YOU BUY THIS PRODUCT MUST READ!!!! I was excited to use this deep fryer for my back up as it arrived. However, the fryer both works but takes more than 1 hours to heat up. I DO NOT recommend this product for commercial purposes/cooking.

Thank you for your review, Ku! We have reached out to assist but have not received a response. One possible cause of this issue is an inadequate power supply (this unit requires 30 amps of power, and many standard circuits are 20 amps). Please reach out to our Customer Solutions team for further assistance.

This is a very good fryer until the day it just decides not to fry anymore. I had my fryer for three months before the right side just stopped heating the light still comes on faintly and the lines do not heat anymore the other side works just fine but for 150-ish dollars per side I would expect it to work longer than 90 days if you are a handyman and maybe you know how to fix it this filter would be great but if you are not then every day that the fryer works is a blessing.

I ordered this Fryer 7 months ago. It was used 4 times, Christmas Day, New Years Eve, Father's Day and just recently on the 4th of July, 2020. The 3 times I used it, it was great; perfect! It was convenient and I love that I can't cross contaminate food as it cooks because in two separate cooking vessels. Now the bad news...,the right side stopped working and I was left with lots of seafood uncooked. It's sad, and I don't understand how this could happen! Literally 4 times of usage and I can no longer use it. The concept and the unit looks great- but not sure if it's meant to last even a year.

Fryer arrived in bad condition! Lids were damaged maybe from shipping and the baskets showed signs of rust. The heating temperature on the left one is not 370 but 340. The right one tends to fry faster than the left side. Very disappointed!
