Overview
ROVSUN 12.5QT/11.8L electric deep fryer, commercial countertop single tank, 1700W/110V, with frying basket, adjustable temperature 140-392F and a 0-60 minute timer.
Sized for restaurant-style batches rather than an occasional home fry, with a rated oil capacity of 7.5QT inside the 12.5QT tank. A drain valve and lid set it apart from smaller home fryers, and reviewers describe it holding up under regular, heavier use.

What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers praised the drain feature and said the fryer recovers heat quickly and holds temperature well through repeated use, with several noting responsive customer service after shipping damage. Complaints centered on quality control on arrival, such as scratches or missing gaskets, along with a lid that leaves a gap around the basket opening so condensation can drip back into the oil, and wiring near the base that can wear with heavy use.
