Deep Fryer Size

The T-fal FR8000 is large enough to feed a family or small gathering. This fryer has an oil capacity of 3.5 liters and can fry 2.65 pounds of food at a time. This puts the T-fal FR8000 near the top for all of those metrics. It is large enough to fry most foods. It weighs in at around 12.5 pounds and has dimensions of 13.7 x 18.3 x 14.8 inches. The T-fal FR8000 will fit comfortably on most counters, but it is on the larger end of the spectrum. The biggest knock against this fryer is size related however, as some have remarked that the deep fryer pot is more shallow than most models. This is due in part to the built-in oil filtration and storage.

Wattage

The T-fal FR8000 has 1700 watts of power which puts it near the top compared to all competitors. In fact, most households are only able to handle 1800-watt appliances giving this unit near the maximum available wattage. The T-fal has a good ratio of wattage to oil, meaning there is a short turnaround time on the oil heating back up after each use.

Features

The major selling point for this unit is the unique oil filtration system. The automated system drains the oil from the fryer pot after each use. The filtration system removes debris and large food particles as it strains the oil into a separate oil storage tank. The filtration is valuable to you because it allows you to use the oil for far more uses than other deep fryers allow. The cleaner oil also provides for better, healthier results compared to unfiltered oil. Finally, the internal oil storage is a unique feature that makes this one of our favorite deep fryers.

The oil filtration isn’t the only feature the FR8000 offers. The unit is easy to clean, with most parts being dishwasher safe. It also includes an adjustable thermostat, fry basket, and odor-reducing lid. All in all, the features on this model are outstanding.

Verdict

All in all, this model is one of the best deep fryers available. It is near the top for most metrics including food capacity, oil volume, and wattage. It is best known for its unique oil filtration system, however. The convenience of the oil filtration system and built-in oil storage makes this unit stand out, and the only major complaint is that the fryer pot is more shallow than some would like.
