Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of DeLonghi FK8 Deep Fryer Replacement Filters for model D895
Customer Review: An excellent choice for deep fryer
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an outstanding deep fryer. It is very well designed and built. My mother had the older model for over 10 years and used it frequently until it eventually started showing signs of wear and tear. She bought this exact model as a replacement and I recently bought one for myself.
What makes this a particularly good choice is that the rotating basket allows it to fry with only about half the amount of oil other fryers need. You can use olive oil without spending too much money. The 2 filters placed in the lid remove most of the food smell and only steam comes out. They need to be replaced every few months depending on use but are worth the money. The window allows to check on the food while it's cooking. The cleaning system that was not on the original model makes draining and storing the oil really easy and convenient.
The downside of this model is that it is harder to clean than the ones that can be taken apart and washed in a dishwasher. You have to be careful not to get water into the motor that rotates the basket. When maintained with some care, it will make great tasting food for a very long time.
Customer Review: Delong deep fryer
Summary: 5 Stars
The fryer works better then any I have ever used. I also appreciate the system of draining the oil from the unit, I helps with the clean up process. It is more expensive then others however I guess you get what you pay for.Customer Review: The Best Around
Summary: 5 Stars
If you like to deep fry food like I do, then this machine is the ticket. I have had others and they finally got old so I did my research and bought this one. Its heats up so quickly unlike my others. The clean up is also so easy and I don't have to use cheese cloth over a jar. The oil comes right out the drain tube into their container CLEAN. Wipe out the inside with paper towels and your good to go. Fish and chicken will leave some brown crumbs in the bottom, but I just wipe it out. Now, I do not fry my food with batter. I just dust my food with flour and seasonings. I think it is better for you and less mess. So if you cook that way, this machine is the best around. Makes awesome french fries and sweet potatoe fries too.Customer Review: looks like a winner

All my young college student wanted, been asking for years, but I couldn't bring myself to buy for fear he would burn his residence down! I finally broke down and after extensive research settled on this one. Lots of nice features, covered with a view window, basket lowers into oil after cover is latched, temp control and automatic off, roto basket means less oil required, and cleanup was easy because of the build-in drain tube (other reviews warn that this may leak over time, so still a concern). To be on the safe side we bought him a new kitchen fire extinguisher too! Customer Review: DeLonghi Deep Fryer No. 2
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very well designed product. It is actually the second one of this model we have purchased. Years ago a friend who was cooking in my kitchen was heating oil in a frying pan getting ready to cook french fries. It caught fire and she was injured. Since then I have been skittish about frying foods. This came to a head when my son was born. I decided to eliminate stove top frying from the house. I purchased a DeLonghi deep fryer (prior model to the one currently sold)and was very happy with it. We wore it out and purchased our first D895UX Roto Fryer.
This is a well designed product that is easier to clean than my prior model. The roto feature works great and seems to minimize the absorbtion of oil by whatever is being fried. It has filters to prevent grease and oil from escaping with the steam (keeps the surrounding area cleaner). It comes with a oil storage container with lid, and a tool to help clean the drain hose. You can set the desired temperature and a LED indicates when it is ready. There is also a small timer that can be set in one minute intervals and will beep to let you know the time has passed (that's all it does, beep). OraIda Shoestring potatoes take 5 minutes to cook!
The basket inside is removable and raises and lowers in and out of the hot oil with an exterior handle.
To cook, 1. Put oil in fryer and turn on. 2. Place food in basket and place in fryer. 3. Close Lid. 4. When oil is to temperature, lower basket. 5. When timer beeps, raise basket, turn off deep fryer and open lid. 6. Remove Basket (remember the oil is HOT, HOT, HOT.)
Cons: The replacement filters are not readily available and must be ordered on line. The rubber drain hose is fragile and is the major fail point in the design. If you turn the unit on without oil in it, it will immediately blow a fuse that is only replacable by a repair depot.
I am now on my second Delonghi D895UX Cool Touch ROTO Electric Fryer so I would recommend it for your use.
