My husband and I loved using the Presto FryDaddy from the start.  It is very simple to use and operate.  We love making fries, onion rings and fried chicken, etc.  but as our kids got older, we found the capacity too small.  We needed to have dinner ready sooner so that everyone could eat at about the same time so we graduated to the Presto GranPappy which is pretty much the same thing but larger.  The FryDaddy is great for singles, couples or for those who don't have much to cook.
