How much oil does it hold?

It holds 4.5 liters of oil, which the maker rates at about 19 cups. That is enough for larger batches than most home fryers.

Can I fry two different foods at once?

Yes. It has two baskets, so you can fry separate batches or two foods side by side in the same oil.

Food is lowered into the hot oil and lifted out with the lid closed, which the maker says gives splatter-free frying.

Heat is adjustable, and there is a timer. You set the temperature for the food you are frying rather than relying on a fixed setting.

The cord is a breakaway type that detaches, which makes storage easier. The fryer itself is large and takes up counter or cabinet space.

It is more fryer than one or two people usually need. A smaller single-basket model would take less oil and less space.
