Reviews for Avantco F202 30 lb. Dual Tank Medium-Duty Electric Countertop Fryer - 208-240V, 5400/7200W

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?

We bought 2 of these for our sandwich shop for doing our fries. It keeps up when we are doing a lot of them, is pretty easy to clean and doesn't require the fire suppression hood. The price on them was great also.

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.

Product works well when it works, but temperature seems to be significantly lower than the thermostat setting. Fry basket has started to rust and I've only had the product for 4 months with light use. Won't stand behind product in any way since i am a residential user, therefore no warranty.

Excellent fryer. My first buy was almost two years ago and its still frying like its new! I currently have two now and they’re perfect for my small kitchen.

I have used this fryer about 10 times and it has already stopped working. And I have an upcoming Catering event. I am beyond pissed!

Awesome dual fryer for the price! Glad I did research!!! It requires 2 separate 208/240 volt outlets,.and each temp gauge is within 10-12 degrees +/- after frying and recovering within 4-6 minutes. Thumbs up

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.

This business is a joke this fryer sucks the last one I bought had an on off switch this one you constantly have to unplug and plug in also make sure you use it for business use only or the warrantee is obsolete they won’t fix anything I cook for all of our workers at the farm and they won’t warrantee it they say I’m not a business let’s think about this!!!?? Never again!!

Durable ran all day with no burning of oil. Ran it for 5 hours without any problems. Clean up is a breeze as well

Worst deep fryer I have ever used. Takes over an hour to heat up. Can cook 1 batch of something then have to wait another half hour to heat up again. Only a 30 day warranty from date of purchase which does not help since it took 3 weeks to get.

I was tired of using a fry daddy and needed an electric fryer and wanted one with a basket so that grease can be used more times. This is the perfect size and so portable to take camping or to a relatives house for fish fry.

This a light duty fryer! Set your expectations accordingly. Best for occasional use of small batches and nothing more. Smaller batches of 1/4 cut frys and similar product fry well, but if you get close to the limits the temperature will drop too much after product is added and you'll have mixed results. Edges are sharp, but with some common sense can be easily avoided. Cleaning is amazing.. the entire basin (which appears to be a steam pan?) is removable for cleaning. As with most Avantco products, there's a parts list and prices are reasonable. I haven't had any issues, but it's nice to see parts available for replacement at a reasonable cost.

I really wanted to like this product. It is the second one I have gotten from this company. Both of them stopped working after a few uses. I wanted to give it no stars.

We use this everyday for making catering meals for our customers. It is portable and large enough to fry the serverings we need. We are very happy with the purchase. Our chef recommended this.

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.

This 208/240v electric fryer takes 14 minutes to heat up from cold oil to 350 degree oil. Not 8 minutes as other rating says. Perfect for frying snacks such as fries, egg rolls, tater tots, etc. The tank is a little small for me for two chicken orders frying together.

We have used this for many events where we have done fish frys, made french fries, and the food came out fantastic. Love the portability of it as well.

This fryer really did the job for a small amount of frying we needed to perform as a garnish for a party. Great value. Unable to fry large quantities, however does the job if you're needing small quantities. Easy clean-up!

This fryer is awesome for my small business! It heats up quickly and is super easy to clean! I would definitely recommend it to anybody!

This is a basic countertop electric fryer that uses a standard 120v outlet. Fit our needs perfectly for frying diced potatoes for breakfast bowls and burritos. While it seems to perform well for our needs, I can see how the size and recovery time could be inadequate for larger volume operations. One thing to note is that the protective plastic coating is difficult to remove, like seriously a pain.

Love this deep fryer! I have it in my home and it makes cooking so east. I.like that it's easy to clean and it has an over night cover

This is a great fryer for a kitchen that fries minimally. It's small size makes it easy to move from place to place and to store as well. It is the perfect size fryer for us.

Works as it should Keeps temp and is of good quality. Easy to clean and is safe. Will buy again if we build another truck.

Mixed reviews as i have owned about 6 of them now! Sometimes they last a while , sometimes not so much.

Does the job! Have a food truck and it keeps up. Pretty easy to clean as well.

I like because easy to move and not expensive

This is a fantastic tabletop fryer. It does have a small recovery time but overall the size and convenience are totally worth it.

We purchased this and were super excited to have the capability to Deep Fry two separate items on Site! NOT the case only one side will work at a time. We have blown multiple Breakers while trying to use both sides at the same time! DO NOT RECCOMEND!!!

This countertop fryer is great as a backup fryer in our commercial kitchen. It holds a large quantity and is easy to plug in and use right away.

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.

Extremely pleased with this fryer, we use it every Saturday to fry Beignets and it works wonders. Takes less than 30 minutes to heat up and maintains heat after hours of frying.

Left side stopped working after 3 months of minimal use. Not a dependable fryer. Would definitely not recommend. Nothing about it is commercial grade. Very surprised that Webstaurant rates this as good.

don't buy, temperature max 340. And you cant return it because -as long as they are unused and in the original packaging. Of course i used it to check the temperature and tried to fry something.

When i purchased this - i thought that this unit would last me more than a year. As you can see from the picture - buyer beware. Electrical cord is very loose and with usage it comes off. Webrestaurant reply was to purchase a replacement electrical cord and hire and electrician for that. It would cost me more than to buy another unit. And it hasnt even been a year on them. Also the handles crack with usage and you are left Macgyvering a fix situation. They said they would replace the handle but lets see. I guess for the price - its ok - but i wouldnt buy it again .

This is an excellent fryer we bought it to use in our house, it is a really perfect size for the space we had, we found that it works perfectly the temperature when fried when used has given us a delicious dinner of fish with French fries, coconut shrimp fried, some plantains slices, fried empanadas, other delicacies. Really deep fryer to place in countertop is unique and recommended to be used at all times that you want some fried and delicious food.

I read a lot before I buy something that I want to last for a long time. Reviews are always hit and miss, but I like the ones that really tell what it is like using the product and that speak to some important attributes about the product. I bought this one over other options because of its "full coverage" heating element. Most have a small element on one side, but this one covers the bottom of the pan. I didn't see any complaints about this one not maintaining a temp, and this is why. Takes it a while to get hot, but they all take a while to get hot, but once there, I can fry basket after basket of stuff with no problems. I can fry an appetizer like fried mushrooms or cheese sticks, cook dinner as soon as I pull up the apps, like fish, fried chicken Read More

Defiantly worth it..Amazing product..great for foodtruck or restaurant..safer then using propane or gas especially in a foodtruck if you have the power..gets to 350 in 8 minutes..easy to clean and recover is amazing.. needed a fryer just for fries work amazing

Serious power, 0 to 350 degrees in 8 minutes flat. Super fast recovery time. I thought being 220 volt for 2 gallons was overkill, but it is perfect. Front drain is awesome, after draining the oil just dump in some hot soapy water clean, drain, and dry!
