These fryers have been an absolute disaster! We purchased 2 and within 2 months of being put into service, both have required repairs. The warranty claim process has been extremely cumbersome, going through a national collective to approve claims, who in turn farms the claims out to local repair companies. For the first fryer this was a 2 week process before (after 3 trips) the repair was made. Now the 2nd fryer is not operating correctly, we are waiting on the warranty claim repair to be scheduled, and the 1st fryer went down again! Hard to run a restaurant with zero fryers when you plan on having 2. My strong recommendation is to skip these fryers and spend a little more money for a product more reliable and a company that's more responsive to customer needs. Likewise, shame on Webstaurantstore for stocking and promoting such a substandard product.

I am writing this review as I'm holding down the pilot button praying that I will be able to get this fryer lit before my service starts. I have 2 of these and one of them leaks and the other 1 will not light the pilot without investing a bunch of time in the morning to do it. When I contacted webstaurant about how to alleviate these issues they told me to contact the manufacturer. When I did I was sent down a rabbit hole of blame games where people just gave me different numbers to call. No real solution was offered and everyday I am having to fight this fryer to get it to light spending my precious time trying to make this work. I am growing so frustrated with Webstaurant and their products. At this point I have been trying to get this pilot lit for 20 minutes. Don't buy this unit. It's a nightmare.

We purchased this seven months ago. The unit works as advertised. We make fresh cut French fries that are 3/8" cut. They take approximately five minutes to cook. We also make our own hand-breaded chicken fried steak. They take approximately four minutes to cook. I feel this is an excellent fryer for the price. I would recommend purchasing this brush http://www.webstaurantstore.com/carlisle-4011100-23-fryer-brush-with-l-tip-teflon-174-bristles/27140111.html because it is impossible to clean between the tubes without it.

Bought this fryer back in April and I have no complaints. This fryer keeps up with the high demand we put on it. I clean and change the oil every one to two weeks. Heats up fast, easy to hook up. If business keeps going the way it is I will definitely be getting another one.

Don't waste your money on Avantco Fryers. Bought 3 in July 2019 had to have their service company come out because flames would hit you in the face when you turned them on. Their service company said everything was fine. I had to have my service company come out and adjust them. Then I have had to spend more money then I spent to buy them to keep them working. I found It was cheaper the replace then fix. I bought another one in Feb 2021. Now the pilot won't stay lit. Call warrantee and they said they would not fix it until I paid the bill from the first 3. I refuse to pay a bill when they came out said everything was fine but yet my staff was terrified to light the fryers until my service company fixed them. So now once again my service guy will fix and I will pay for an item that should have been under warrantee. SAVE MONEY BY BUYING A BETTER BRAND!!!!!!!!

My experience with Webstaurant equipment overall has been hit or miss. So, I wasn't;t surprised when this fryer didn't work upon having it connected. I hoped that there was something wrong with my gas line but nope, the equipment was just defective. I had an issue with a different piece of equipment earlier in the year so I didn't feel like going through additional hoops to get this equipment issue resolved. So, I just decided to use the old fryer. Well, it has now malfunctioned and I need to get this issue rectified ASAP. Just got a text from the AI customer service rep...here is the reply: "Thank you for your patience, Carlos! I was able to pull up your order! I apologize your fryer isn't working properly. Please call the number provided for warranty service. Please have your unit's serial number and invoice number to schedule a service call." I hope I don't have to deal with the same issue others have dealt with in getting these units fixed!

Nice little fryer than can run all day. We use this primarily for french fries only and nonstop all day. We do have to dump the oil each night due to the volume we go through.

I'm not happy with this purchase unfortunately. I purchased three of these units, and 1 of them came severely dented... but I was able to straighten it out by jumping on it. (No joke) The legs don't level very nicely, so they're off-kilt, and I had to put wood under one of them to stay super level..... which is ridiculous. The pilot light must be on CRAZY high in order to even work, otherwise it turns off - which is EXTREMELY annoying. I prefer to leave my pilot light lit all night long, when I come in the morning, the oil is still kind of warm, because the pilot light is SO high.... you can actually hear the pilot light working, unlike any other fryer I've used; and ALL three do this, so it's not a defect in one, it's a defect in the product. Read More

We purchased (3) Avantco FF400 Fryers for our new restaurant and am pleased with the product construction. Avancto offers a cheaper price point than some of the other manufacturers with comparable quality.

I wouldn't recommend these fryers, I purchased 2 of them both only lasted about a year. You will have issues with the thermostats/thermocouples and not keeping temperature for the grease, On my food truck mid shift this happened and I was unable to use the fryer. You will also have pilot light issues. I tried to repair them with new gas valves and new thermostats/thermocouples and still had issues with the fryer staying on during a shift and working properly.
