De'Longhi Dual Zone Deep Fryer - D14522DZ  Product Reviews

"Broke down in a few months with little use. It was fine, went o use it one evening, plugged it in and NOTHING. Had to run out and by a diffent brand as the clams were waiting. "

"This is a good fryer - as far as it goes. It works nicely, has some good features that make it easier to clean than an old-fashioned bucket-type fryer. But it has a glaring design flaw. The heating unit attaches to the metal frame using a plastic bracket. If that bracket breaks - and, believe me it will - the unit becomes useless. That heating unit has to be securely attached to the frame in order to operate and once that bracket cracks, there is no way to operate the unit. Might as well flush $89 down the toilet. I am on my third unit and it has happened every time. I recommend avoiding this machine until DeLonghi replaces the plastic bracket with a more durable metal one. With that change, I would give this unit a clear five stars. "
