December 27, 2016
I ready a ton of reviews and settled with this model. It takes up a good amount of space but I went with this because I liked that fact that there was no open flame and the fact that you can just plug it in and not have to worry about keeping a propane tank and leaving a chance that propane may run out during use. Also there is a cover which keeps the heat inside of the unit.

It says that this can be used inside, which it can, however i would persuade anyone to do this outside. The unit doesn't require as much oils as it had previously expected

I have only used this unit once, but already can't wait to use it again. Turkey comes out juicy and moist but with a nice crispy exterior. Exterior is metal and easy to clean.

The power cord is very short, but can easily be remedied with an extension cord. Oil takes about 30 minutes to come to temperature and the cooking times are accurate but one should just take that into consideration when planning for set dinner or lunch times.

1.0 out of 5 starsThe larger one is cheaper?
November 21, 2018
I opened my butterball fryer last night and noticed I hadn't looked up how to do this frying thing yet. As I was watching some "how to" videos I noticed in every video that they were using an XL fryer and were quoting prices of $100 or less! I just spent $130 on a large one, why is it more expensive than a XLarge fryer? It looks like the Xlarge fryer has some more features on it too. I haven't even use this fryer and I'm already disappointed. I would be happy to change my review if I get the larger fryer at the cheaper price because now I don't even want this larger fryer. I feel ripped off, it's kind of like the feeling of being upside down on a car loan. I'm very disappointed in butterball, I'm including the link to the cheaper larger fryer below. I hope this helps anyone looking to buy this turkey fryer.

5.0 out of 5 starsWhen I saw this I was a bit apprehensive but seeing the reviews had me convinced and I am glad I made this purchase

Style: Electric Fryer, LargeVerified Purchase
I was always afraid of frying a turkey as I have seen the videos of people setting their backyards on fire etc. When I saw this I was a bit apprehensive but seeing the reviews had me convinced and I am glad I made this purchase. Deep fried turkey is amazing and this did it to perfection. Very simple instructions, very simple process, and you can due your own recipes marinades to your liking. Keys are to keep whatever it is you're frying as dry as possible and to slowly drop items in. Went on to fry chicken after and it was perfect. Great product

5.0 out of 5 starsGet a Butterball Fryer Now!
November 26, 2017
Style: Electric Fryer KitVerified Purchase
I purchased this Butterball Fryer a few days before Thanksgiving. This is my first time frying a turkey. I was scared that I was going to ruin Thanksgiving. I fried two 12 pound turkeys in two hours. It came out delicious and juicy! My family ate most of the turkeys. I was left with less than 1/2 turkey! 😃 In fact, my husband’s friend asked if I could fry a turkey for him...lol. The cleaning process was very easy. I must say I’m in love 😍. Ya gotta get one! I’m super happy with my purchase!!!!

4.0 out of 5 starsPerfect for my needs - wings and fries (LARGE FRYER)
August 28, 2017
Style: Electric Fryer, LargeVerified Purchase
I used this and cooked 30 wings in 25 mins.
25-30 min oil heat up.
25 min cook time.
-----
55 min total

To cook, I used a one-gallon container of peanut oil, which was slightly more than MIN, but not close to MAX.
Of note, once the wings were in the oil, I don't think the GREEN light came on again while set at 375 degrees.
However, it did not seem to affect the wings.
@ 375 degrees, maybe 24 minutes or less would be ideal for 30 wings.
At 25 minutes, the wings were slightly overcooked tough. 1 min does make a difference.

In comparison to a 2L Hamilton Beach fryer, the HB fryer can cook 10 wings in 12 minutes.
The oil heat up is about 10-15 min.
So, the Butterball is more convenient to cook for a whole family of 4, but the trade-off is increased oil heat time and cook time.

Cleanup was easy for the heating unit and oil tub.
The spigot is real nice. Minimal residue at the bottom of the original oil container.
Compared to the HB fryer, I had to pour oil from the corner of the HB oil pan, and it always overflowed my little funnel, so a little messy; I guess that I could have bought a larger funnel for the HB; the spigot for the Butterball is awesome for storing oil and the fryer vs. keeping the fryer on your counter 24/7.

1.0 out of 5 starsWeak power cord and only holds a 10lb turkey
November 23, 2017
Style: Electric Fryer, LargeVerified Purchase
This will not gold a 10lb turkey, but should hold a 14lb bird. This comes with a basket only, so the turkey doesn’t stand up when frying, like it would in a traditional fryer your use outside over a propane burner. I wouldn’t buy this again and wish i had invested in the outdoor unit instead. Also, the plug comes detached VERY easily. If you touched the cord it loses connection, which have hinders me using this ever again. Unfortunately, we can’t return it because i bought well in advance of our intended 1st use.

4.0 out of 5 starsDo not deep fry indoors.
January 11, 2018
Style: Electric Fryer KitVerified Purchase
Arrived late, came with everything advertised, works great. I fried the turkey indoors, but would not do it again and not recommend indoor frying do to lots of steam and smell that lasted for days.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Product!
December 10, 2018
Style: Electric Fryer, LargeVerified Purchase
This is our second Electric Fryer. We had the first one for years. The plug in was not holding like it had been. It still worked but decided it was time to get a new one. We use this for all our frying needs - fried turkey, chicken wings, french fries, corndogs, etc... Absolutely love this!!! I highly recommend this product. Delivery was as promised and the packaging was excellent!
