    Very easy to clean.
    Filtering the oil into the container at the bottom takes the hassle out of trying to empty it from the top.

    Good fryer produces good chips and heats up fairly quickly – just ready light stopped working on second use

    Well made and comes up to temperature quickly and is powerful enough to maintain it. Amazon customer services very helpful.
    My only criticism is that it’s a little shallow when filled to 3 litre capacity

    This is a fantastic product for the price, is easy to clean and chips taste fantastic. My wife switched it on with no oil in and not surprisingly it stopped working, however after reading the manual we discovered a reset button and it works fine now.

    The better fitting lid stop oil over flowing and makes it easy to keep clean. The oil filtering feature makes not only keeps the oil clean but makes emptying easy

    Like anyone of my ageing years I have owned countless chip pans, air fryers {not impressed with those at all} and deep fat fryers, the last being a commercial double 10L x2 stainless steel fryer which needed hours of cleaning with wire wool and hot soapy water. So much so it became a marathon of a job scrubbing and scrubbing taking up a full day and not pleasant at all. So it was time to change and find something more suitable, easier and less time consuming. Another thought that came to mind was to be realistic with my new acquisition: twin baskets look the part but I was only using one so I did not need the double baskets anyway. Searching through our trusted Amazon {and before you say anything, no, I am not a paid or gifted product tester/reviewer of any kind} I came across the VENGA. I did my research, it wasn’t the cheapest, it wasn’t the most expensive but certainly looked the best on the market in my opinion. It certainly ticked all the boxes and some!
    It arrived by PRIME in two days {incredible despite the current situation} and packed so well. The box was double lined with cardboard {never seen that before} as well as interior packaging to keep the fryer safe;
    just a wonderful job done with care. Within five minutes I had read the instructions and it was time to take it on a test drive! WOW, I was so impressed I changed dinner plans and used it that very night. Since then the VENGA has been the best fryer I have ever purchased and would honestly recommend it to anyone. All the features, and just to name a couple, such as cleaning and filtering the oil is just an abolute walk in the park taking only minutes and would be safe for anyone to use within reason. It maybe the novelty factor but one even has a nice thought process going during any of the procedures with this machine! And the cooked food result = Awesome, the best deep fried food I have ever prepared. This is an absolute steal of a bargain and a great asset to my kitchen and culinary requirements. Thank you VENGA + AMAZON for making life easier and better!

    Super product! Have seen the Tefal product being used. The Tefal is more expensive than this Venga! equivalent which is no different in performance I found it very easy to use and the oil filter function makes keeping the oil clean a much simpler, less messy task than with my older more conventional deep fat frier. Absolutely delighted.
    Additionally, it arrived on my doorstep less than 24 hours from placing my order and the packaging was strong and very functional so there was no chance of damage en route.

    Great frier. Basically the same as the more expensive Tefal version. A bit bigger basket wouldn’t go amiss but as pong as you aren’t doing more than 2 large adult portions at a time you’ll be fine. The oil storage/filter is such a simple but great idea you have to wonder why more have not copied it. When oil is cool just flip to filter. Once filtered you can quickly wash everything and then pop the whole thing, oil and all in a cupboard for storage.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersIt works fine, however the markings are starting to come off already, even though no abrasive cleaning solutions were used. I’m hoping the temperature markings are more resilient as it would be guess work if they also disappear.

    A joy to use, howeve

    after many years we decided to purchase a fryer for a few recipes and am really impressed it is quite a lot larger than I expected and although the booklet says it may give off an odour for a while it still gives off a slightly fishy smell so would advise go keep a window open. plus side heats up quickly, super easy to keep clean and looks contemporary in the kitche

    There are just some things in life that have to be fried, Chips, (Veg fries for us on lo carb) squid rings, Panco shrimps etc. This frier is fantastic for that occasional use. No more storing dirty oil, dead easy to drain and keep clean. To be honest i wanted the more expensive Tefal but they were out of stock everywhere but I can not fault this. Half the price and does the job nicely. It is a pleasure using this. Some complaints like no on / off switch ( use the wall switch) and don’t over fill it are pretty much common sense and should not deter you from buying this .. On top of that it cooks very well and heats up quickly when food is added . The basket size is ideal for 2 people so no complaints there either . I have had 2 cheap friers in the past which sadly are a pain to keep clean do not last long and paying a little bit extra is well worth the price for this innovative frie

    This is quite a big deep fat fryer in terms of its external dimensions. However, the frying basket inside is surprisingly small. It heats up quickly and it is not messy to use. The instructions are straightforward. Cleaning is fairly easy and the filter is easy to change. Oil can be stored in the bottom compartment and poured back into the frying compartment when necessary. It fries everything I have tried in it very well – vegetable pakora, potatoes, chips, southern fried chicken etc. You get best results if you partially deep fry then remove the food allowing the oil to reach max temperature again before finishing off the frying process – things will be crispier if you do. Quite bulky to store and not as healthy as an air-fryer but a useful addition to my kitchen accoutrements.

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersI turned the machine on without putting the oil back into the main body….schoolboy error! Had to buy another 1! It’s very good and the filtration system is really great. You will get about 8 cooks from each original fill of oil. Very happy to recommend it and delivery was super quick.

    Golden Review Award: 20 From Our UsersThere is no on/off switch, so I turned the knob from zero to the temperature I wanted and then back to zero when finished using it, in case I forgot to unplug it. There is a cord/plug storage in the back which I like.

    It was pretty fast to heat up to the temperature I wanted and cooked food well. I haven’t tried the filter out yet as the oil is still new but it does look nice and easy to do. It is a less messy than the way I normally do it. I like that I can store oil in the bottom container and it is easy to pour back into the machine once it is cleaned. It is plastic though so it is best to wait till the oil is totally cold.

    It is a big machine at the side of my old one but with a smaller basket, not very deep either. (13cm wide, 26cm Long, 8cm deep). I also found the inner of the lid to be sharp (tried to show in the rubbish picture) so be careful when wiping this down. The whole machine comes easily apart for easy cleaning. Nice stainless steel structure. Nice big feet on the machine to keep it stable. On the front is Lock/Unlock/filter so just turn the dial to either release the oil storage tank with unlocking, lock it back up or set to filter the oil.

    It is a nice quality in spite of the sharp edge on the lid. It looks nice and cooked everything we tried really well and the filter system and oil storage is a bonus for me. Love that everything comes apart for easy cleaning too.

    Big on the outside, small basket on the inside.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersSo glad to have this so that i can fry chips and nuggets without any issues. It’s easy to use and looks great. I like how easy it is to change the oil and dispense of it. Food comes out looking and tasting great. Easy to clean too and looks great in the kitchen. Very pleased.
