2 out of 2 found this review helpfulPurchased 2 of these fryers. One for fries and the other for our fried chicken. Performance on these fryers are great. Heat up fairly quick and does a great job of frying the food. This fryer take about 105 gallons of oil to fill up to the max level. It take about 30-45 minutes to change the oil and clean the fryer properly with cleaning chemical.shawn H. on 08/01/2017

2 out of 2 found this review helpfulThese fryers are great little workhorses. We fry a tremendous amount of chicken and fish in our buffet restaurant and these Avantco fryers never miss a bit. They may not last quite as long as the more expensive fryers, but their very low price point makes replacing them much less painful. Highly recommended.Rick K. from Harvest Table Buffet on 07/27/2016

1 out of 1 found this review helpfulGreat large 70lb fryer. And worth the upgrade from the 45llb fryers. I would definitely go bigger rather than smaller in a start up restaurantMichael J. from Stateline BBQ & Taphouse on 10/22/2018

This fryer is a beast. We use this primarily for fried chicken dropped dry. The sediments collect well on the bottom and do not contaminate or burn the rest of the oil. Easy to clean and gets up to temperature fast.Ricky T. from Ricky's Hot Chicken on 02/18/2020

A super high quality fryer that you should expect to pay much more for. Performs well, and has a very accurate thermostat. These should last for decades with the proper care, and compare to more recognized brands!Michael P. from MC Union Restaurants, Inc Stack Southern Bistro on 10/07/2017

Love this Deep Fryer. Larger than a regular Deep Fryer. Works great for heavy traffic. Cooks a lot of French fries. Nice looking and easy to clean. Cant go wrong with this Deep Fryer. I bought 2 Deep Fryers from Avantco, Love them Both.Ronald D. from Quick and Tasty Burgers on 07/30/2017

This is a very average fryer. The price is excellent! Fryers are all stainless steel and metal. Has the same form factor as its competitors for half the price. So far so good after a year of use..Tom R. from The Draft on 03/16/2017
-
Great fryer. We have not had any issues out of this thing at all. Temp is perfect and regulated as well. Highly recommend this product.Perry F. from Charleston Sports Pub on 06/29/2016

Works great. Doubles the volume of the deep fryer without doubling the space needed to put a deep fryer on the line at the restaurant.Steve L. from Finger Lakes Restaurant Group on 05/10/2016
-
We purchased this fryer for our church. Our congregation has about 650-700 members and we have a lot of functions that require the preparation of food for large groups. This fryer serves that purpose well. I strongly recommend this deep fryer when you have to prepare food for large groups and small groups as well because you can use just one of the baskets.Julius M. from J & J associates Inc on 12/22/2015
-
We are very happy with this fryer! It works great the heat keeps up and never slows down. i would by another one its a great product and the price is good.Carl S. on 08/14/2015
-
Nice size and very easy to use. Pilot stays on so just turn it up when you come in the morning. Nice size for volume frying.Shane L. on 05/18/2015
-
0 out of 1 found this review helpfulGood light duty fryer. It can get overwhelmed if doing a lot back to back. Fries and tenders take longer than a more heavy duty fryer. If you have multiple fryers I would recommend this one. If this will be your only fryer and you do high volume get a more heavy duty one.Lysandro W. from Chanticleer Eatery on 09/06/2014
-
This fryer is great on the line and the temperature is very accurate to the dial setting. Most fryers lose their calibration. This one has lasted us 3 years. Great buy.James B. on 07/22/2013

This is a large floor style fryer! We love using it to create mouthwatering fried appetizers like fried pickles and mozz sticks!! Easy to clean and filter oil!!Eric K. on 12/11/2012
