Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of DeLonghi FK8 Deep Fryer Replacement Filters for model D895
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.
Customer Review: french fries
Summary: 5 Stars
Easy to use & easy to clean. Made good french fries. It is the best deep fryer we have had. This makes our 4th.Customer Review: Can't ask for much more . . .
Summary: 4 Stars
This fryer does precisely what it is advertised to do - fry foods with a minimum of fuss or mess in the (thus far) healthiest way possible.
It excels at french fries and the like - like french fried sweet potatoes. It handles coated foods well.
Crumb coated foods, as always, create a bit of a mess which requires additional clean up no matter the method. For these items, I prefer stove-top, hands on frying. But have to say, the filter makes clean up easier.
For all other fried foods this is a super product and I'd venture the best in class. Easy to use, and easy to clean. Keeps the mess contained. Easy to use; wipe it clean.
Love this fryer and look forward to years of service.
Customer Review: No good

It stinks. Does bad job with battered food. Mine started to leak through the drain hose after three uses.Customer Review: Wish the Coffee was Hotter
Summary: 4 Stars
I have only had this coffee maker for a couple of days and so far, I basically am pleased with it. It is attractive and very easy to program and operate. We are enjoying the convenience of brewing 2 pots simultaneously, rather than waiting for one to finish before brewing another. This coffee maker comes with 3 additional carafe lids in various colors, so the carafes do not get mixed up. A water level indicator legible on the outside would be a suggestion for improvement. As always, I wish the coffee was hotter (I like mine practically boiling). I have been in search of a drip coffee maker that makes a really HOT cup of coffee for years, to no avail. This model makes coffee that is 150-160 degrees, according to the manufacturer. It helps to preheat the carafes by rinsing with hot tap water before brewing and not using milk/cream that is very cold. Also, make sure you remove the carafes from the unit once brewing is done. It will help prevent heat from escaping.
