Rating: - Excellent deep fryer.
I have been searching for a good deep fryer and finally found one. The Delonghi D690 is excellent. It looks nice and it does not feel flimsy.

The timer is a good feature although it feels like a last minute add-on. The tube for emptying the oil is very helpful. I think it is patented because this is the only fryer that had one during my research.

The temperature setting is not flimsy as the majority of the fryers out there.

The only bad thing about this product is that it has Teflon non-stick coating on the sides of the pan. The bottom is not coated so I guess it is not going to be a cancer hazard since it is the bottom where the heat is generated.

Rating: - The best in this price range
The 690 deep fryer is the best in this price range without a doubt. I bought one last month right here, after EXTENSIVE shopping and comparing of prices. It has the biggest basket of any of the 2.2 pound capacity listed fryers. Yes, I went to Sears, Target, Walmart, The Navy Exchange (I'm in the Navy), and
other stores and looked at them ALL. It has a drain hose to drain your oil, heats up great, cooks great, has a timer, window
to view your food, an excellent filter, and clean up is painless. I've deep fried onion in batter, like you get at some restaurants, chicken, Stuffed Jalepenos, Egg rolls, and even made Funnel cakes like at the carnival, all with out problems and a lot of greasy food. I highly reccomend this fryer if you are in the market for one. Oh yeah, the wife loves it too. Very little smell.

Rating: - Great idea, but bad design
I purchased my fryer in January after my other open top fryer died. I researched many days before deciding on this one. The first two times I used it, I was in heaven! THEN the third time I added the same amount of product that I had in the past and it proceeded to boil over! ( through the filtered vent area) I had to raise and lower the basket constantly in order to keep the unit from boiling over. I read in the manual that this could happen with wet food or if I added to much. I adjusted my amounts and also dried off the french fries with a paper towel (very time consuming) It still boiled over! I lowered the temperature and guess what?? it boiled over! And if that isnt enough, the oil that condenses on the top of the lid pours out the back of the unit as you open the lid. What a terrible mess it makes. So, either I bought the only lemon out there, or Delonghi needs to make some changes!
