Tefal Oleoclean Pro Deep Fat Fryer, Patented Oil Filtration System - 3.5L

I am in love with this fryer! I've been replacing most of my kitchen gadgets with Tefal lately, and this 3.5L semi-commercial model is easily the best one I've used. It heats up super fast, is easy to operate, and the food comes out crisp and delicious. The best part is the Oleoclean automatic oil filtration system—it drains and cleans the oil into the storage box effortlessly, so oil lasts much longer and cleanup is simple. Highly recommend!

Oh dear Tefal you gone a messed this up, were used to having things that don’t work 100% like they should, this deep fat fryer works perfect. I hate trying to clean fat fryers I just get a new one in the end. Oh boy cleaning this is so easy and fast you’re going to have problems selling new ones later as no one is going to buy another one like ever, there just get this and that’s it. If I could give it 10 stars I would it’s that easy. Did I mention that it’s easy to clean. 5 minutes after the oil is drained yes 5 minutes and it’s like new. 5 minutes that’s a joke it’s that fast. I’m still trying to get my head around it. The basket is so nice as it’s big and wide and there’s no BS multi digital crap that no one uses just a straightforward temperature setting. The only thing that might be bad (if you can call it bad) it’s bigger than a regular fat fryer. Sorry Tefal but I think it’s going to last for years and years. Thank you Tefal for making my life easier.

First off I bought this for the ease of cleaning and filtration system and for that its great. In use however I have found a few little things while not deal breakers certainly should be noted. I will still give it 5 stars but only as 4 seems a bit mean so in theory its a 4.5 star rating. The depth of oil is (when filled to a few mm below maximum) a little shallow for thicker cuts of battered fish so you may need to turn them over to stop them sticking to the basket and to cook properly - although its fine for chips and probably most normal things you would deep fry as the basket is nice and wide so food can spread out a bit more. If you fill it to about 1 or 2mm below maximum the oil container cannot take it all when filtering so you may need to use a small jug to decant any excess oil out making the process a bit fiddly and even with it more or less in between the marks it can still leave a small amount in the bowl. It takes about 2.5 to 3 hours for the oil to cool down enough to filter and then allow you to take it apart to wipe the element and wash the bowl and basket etc. I use the dishwasher to clean it (note with ours that an economy wash wont quite clean the bowl as well as a standard wash) But I usually have to give it an extra wipe when it comes out as sunflower oil can stain the bowl a bit (we have to use sunflower oil due to an allergy to rapeseed oil) Overall it heats up fairly quickly (7 to 8 minutes) cooks well and the fact most of it can go in the dishwasher a great help. Be aware it is a fairly large unit (there is a smaller one available) and with the weight of the oil can be heavy enough to move about for storage - and when frying the sides do get hot (obviously!) so as with all deep fryers should never be left unattended when in use. Summing up a great machine and recommended.

This Tefal deep fryer should really have received 5 stars, but it does have a couple of drawbacks which have forced me to deduct from the overall score. I've been delighted overall with this product. Makes me wonder why I never had one previously. The speed and uniformity of cooking versus a frying pan are a massive gain. Likewise the thermostat which keeps the oil at the temperature you desire (or thereabouts). This is a reasonably large deep-fryer. Don't overly rely on the owners manual for cooking times. Use your judgement or temperature probe to get it right. It's also relatively easy to clean. The oil filtration system does the job well, you just switch the dial to the appropriate setting and when the oil as cooled down the filtration commences. The actual filtration seems to as simple as the oil running though a wire mesh, which might make one think that one could do the same oneself with a sieve and jar. Yes, that would also work, but this is less effort, and the fact that it's built in makes it less cumbersome. The oil comes out clean every time. Use the owners manual - and your judgement and research - to decide exactly how many times to reuse the oil. A cursory glance at other Amazon reviews will show many positive reviews, and the occasion missing stars some of which are not significant. Complaints about the dimensions or size of the machine are surprising considering that this is well advertised and anyone is capable of measuring their cupboards to ensure they have somewhere to store this before buying. Likewise if someone finds the cooking basket size too large, they ought to have purchased a smaller model. Complains that this is only suitable for a couple not a family are either an attempt at humour, or a false assumption that everything needs to to done in one batch. What is a valid point is that the oil filtration process does seem to leak a bit each time. While nothing to make me doubt the product, it is a minor frustration to keep on top of. Likewise, the container lid should be held closed while re-pouring the oil into the machine to avoid it popping open and making a massive mess on the side. Another important issue; they advertise quite proudly that (most of the) items are dishwasher safe. However, if you are washing up in a sink, the main oil container (with attached filtration device) has a real risk of scratching the sink its sharp metal edges. This has happened to me a number of times before I caught on. I now avoid it by placing a plastic tray into the sink underneath the sharpened metal edges, but this should have been designed better. It might be a tad expensive, but worth it in my opinion.

I absolutely love this fryer. I’ve owned cheaper deep fryers before, but none come close to the Tefal Oleo Clean Pro. The best part is the oil filtration system. When you’re done frying, it automatically drains and filters the oil into the storage box underneath, no mess, no smell, no waste. It keeps the oil clean for multiple uses. Heating is fast and even; chips come out golden and crisp, chicken perfectly cooked inside. The stainless steel body looks great on my counter and feels sturdy. Cleaning used to be my least favourite part of frying, now it’s effortless. Everything comes apart easily and can go straight into the dishwasher. If you love crispy food but hate the clean-up, this fryer is worth every penny.

Apart from the massive one i had like 25 years ago.its the best defat fryer iv ever had .the oil filter is brilliant

I purchased the Tefal Oleo Clean Pro in May 2025 after quite a bit of research, and honestly, it exceeded my expectations. If you love crispy fries and golden fried chicken like the ones from your favorite takeaway, this deep fryer brings that experience home. ✅ Pros: • Clean Oil Every Time: The standout feature is the automatic oil filtration system. Once you’re done frying, just turn the handle — the used oil drains into a sealed container below, leaving crumbs and residue behind. It filters the oil beautifully for reuse. • Crisp Results: With 2300W of power, the oil heats up quickly, ensuring your food is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Fries come out just like restaurant-quality! • Easy Cleaning: The stainless steel body, removable parts, and dishwasher-safe design make cleanup a breeze — quite impressive for a fryer of this size. • Great Capacity: 3.5L oil and up to 1.2kg food capacity — ideal for families or when cooking for 4–6 people. • Space-Saving Tip: When not in use, I store it on top of my fridge. After it cools down, I simply turn the filtration handle so the oil drains and gets stored cleanly until next time. Super convenient. • Timer Convenience: The built-in timer lets me walk away without hovering, which is great. Plus, the outside of the fryer stays cool to the touch, so I feel safe using it. • Ventilation Note: The lid is lightweight, but it’s important to keep your kitchen ventilation on while frying, as the steam needs to escape easily for safety and comfort. 🔧 Cons: • A Bit Bulky: You’ll likely want to leave it on the counter or, like me, find a high shelf or fridge top for storage. • Plastic Oil Storage Box: The oil container is plastic, so make sure the oil has cooled down before draining. 🍟 Overall: The Tefal Oleo Clean Pro modernizes the deep frying experience and takes the hassle out of oil handling and cleanup. I’d definitely recommend it for families, food lovers, or anyone hosting regular gatherings. Crispy results, minimal mess — what’s not to love?

It's a brilliant fryer. Cooks chips really well to a nice golden brown colour. Tried chicken thighs, bone in and skin on. Coated them with seasoned flour. Wow, twenty four minutes frying and they were absolutely perfect, with very crispy skin that tasted amazing. I'd recommend using crisp & Dry oil as its much healthier than others.

The product has a very nice oil filtering system but the tank capacity is a bit small for bigger batches

Mooie friteuse maar helaas is de stekker niet geschikt voor een Nederlands stopcontact. Had wel even vermeld mogen worden.

Systeme top !!! Nettoyage simplissime, tt va au lave vaisselle, l huile est filtrée sans aucune manip !!

Pacco arrivato nei tempi di Amazon. Dopo il primo utilizzo, la facilità di pulizia è stata fondamentale, l'olio rimasto dopo il necessario raffreddamento, è stato filtrato ed evacuato attraverso con una semplice rotazione del pomello frontale. L'olio è cosi raccolto nel contenitore sotto stante dando cosi la possibilità di pulire tutte le parti in lavastoviglie senza sporcare per fuori uscite di olio. L'olio raggiunge la temperatura impostato sul termostato che comunque anche se non segna grado per grado è abbastanza preciso (ho misurato la temperatura dell'olio con un termometro a infrarossi). La frittura risulta croccante e gradevole al tatto (non unta). Ora aspettiamo di vedere quanto resiste all'usura data dall'utilizzo.

perfektes Gerät, man muss aber die Gebrauchsanweisung beachten
