Which is better for making fries at home?

The MyMini. It holds 1.5 qt of oil and holds a set temperature up to 400°F, which is what crisp fries need. The OYPGUE set gives you no temperature control beyond your stove.

Can I use the OYPGUE set without a stove?

No. It is a pot, basket and tongs with no heating element, so it needs a burner or another heat source. The MyMini plugs into a 120 V outlet.

Which is easier to clean?

The MyMini's wire basket is dishwasher safe and its stainless body wipes clean. The OYPGUE pot and basket are simple to wash but hold more oil residue on the stove.

Is the MyMini big enough for two people?

Yes for small batches of fries, wings or onion rings. Its 1.5 qt capacity means you fry in rounds, and the 700 W element takes time to recover heat between them.

The OYPGUE set has no electronics, so there is little to break. The MyMini depends on its heating element and dial, but a 4.4 rating from 2,747 ratings suggests it holds up in normal home use.

Is the MyMini worth it over a plain pot?

If you fry more than occasionally, yes. Set temperatures and a dishwasher-safe basket remove most of the guesswork and mess. For rare small batches, the OYPGUE set is enough.

OYPGUE Personal Mini Deep Fryer Set with Stainless Steel Pot, Basket & Food Tongs vs MyMini 1.5 qt. Electric Deep Fryer, 700W, Aqua

Buy the MyMini 1.5 qt if you want an actual electric deep fryer with a temperature dial from 120°F to 400°F and a dishwasher-safe basket. The OYPGUE set is just a stainless pot, basket and tongs with no heat source, so it only works on a stove. No prices were given for either product, so neither can be called the better deal on cost.
