Loved the product until it stopped working after the fourth time I used it. The shipping cost to take advantage of the warranty was over half what I paid for it to begin with.
I got this fryer as a wedding gift. I read the entire booklet that it came with before the first use. I used it once to make chicken and it came out great! The second time I used it I made french fry's which also came out great. Each time I would finish I cleaned it out completely and saved the oil. I took very good care of it. It kept working twice more but on the 4th time I used it, right in the middle of cooking fry's it just shut off and won't turn back on. It appears that the unit may have over heated? There is a fail/safe that shuts the unit off automatically, which is great but then you can't use it anymore. You need to "press the re-set button" which is apparently located on the back of the control panel. This button does not really exist. I searched the entire panel for a switch, button, even those pin hole re-sets you need a needle to use, nothing is there. I now have a big useless fryer in my kitchen. I didn't buy this, it was a wedding gift so to get a replacement I need a sales receipt. So I will have to go out and buy a new fryer. It won't be a Rival I can tell you that.
The second time I used this fryer, it stopped heating. I loved the way it came apart and you could put the pieces in the dishwasher, but if it craps out, the nice design is useless.
Purchased in March 2008. Used four times and quit on me in the middle of frying chicken for our family Christmas gathering. No light. Owner's guide indicates a reset button which DOES NOT exist. Unfortunately I did not save receipt. Reviews I've read online indicate this is a very pervasive problem. To return the item, you must pay shipping both ways. simply not worth it. I will never purchase another Rival product.
I bought this at a local big box store. I used it 3 times and it quit working. In the manual it says there's a reset button, but it doesn't actually exist. To send it back to Rival themselves, you have to pay shipping both ways, costing approximately 1/2 of the purchase price. Search for this model before buying it. There are MANY problems with it.
