About this product
Crispy chips and golden chicken for the whole family in one go. The Russell Hobbs Maxi 24570 Deep Fat Fryer handles up to 1kg of food with its 2.5l oil capacity, cooking 3-4 portions at once so everyone eats together. Variable temperature control (150-190C) lets you set the right heat, while the mechanical timer manages timing and the safety cut-out switches off if it gets too hot. The rise and fall basket drains excess oil, and the large viewing window lets you check progress without losing heat. The permanent odour filter contains smells, and at 1800W it heats quickly.
It's light enough to shift around but stable when you're cooking, and the basket gives you plenty of room for family portions. The cable gives you flexible placement options, and register it online and you'll get a reassuring 3-year guarantee.

Wouldn't buy again
Great little fryer but with one major draw back - you can not remove the oil container for cleaning. Instructions suggest wiping out - i wouldn't have purchased if i had realised that ypu couldn't take oygapart for cleaming.

Great value and reliable
Great fryer, easy to operate and clean. Doesn't take up too much counter space either!

Cheap is exactly what you get.
I bought this as a temp measure whilst I clean my main one that cost considerably more. So where can I begin. 1. When you lift the lid, the condensation/oil drips down into the back of the casing. 2. Capacity. You barely have enough room to cook some chips for 1, never mind a family. 3. When lifting the basket to drain off, it still sits in the oil, even though I filled the oil just below the max line, it still sits in the oil. So you have to lift it out & rest it on the back of the casing to actually drain. 4. Power cord. I mean, for an extra £1, they could have made it at least 1.5m length. But no, You get a 50cm power cord, meaning you have to sit it basically where you plug it in. We've had this technology for years & still the same problems persist with these. If I bought this as my main fryer, I'd be appalled with it & shortly throw it in the bin. But as this is purely to give me time to deep clean my main one, it'll do. Honestly, I wouldn't waste your money on this. The only good thing about it was how simple it was to use. And I kind of expected better from a company like Russell Hobbs.

Reasonable price and Quality
I have been using this now for a week. It gets up to temperature fast and cooks evenly. Only issue is the basket is at an angle so you have to be careful not to overfill.

Made lovely chips when got home

Not the best
Bought this to replace a 1.5l one. As the basket doesn’t go deep enough I ended up bending the wire to allow it to lower deeper.

Hello Iron chef,
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for the Russell Hobbs Maxi 24570 2.5L Deep Fat Fryer - Black: ''As per the user manual: "Don’t use solid cooking oil, fat, butter, margarine, or olive oil. Olive oil generally contains too much water, and can be too smoky. Buy a good quality liquid cooking oil suitable for deep frying, like sunflower or corn oil."
So no, beef dripping should not be used in the unit.''
