Overview
The Kratos 29Y-010-LP is a 40 lb capacity liquid propane floor fryer built for restaurant kitchens, with three burners producing 90,000 total BTU. It comes with two chrome-plated baskets, adjustable thermostatic controls from 200 to 400F, and basket hanger rails for oil drainage. Stainless steel construction throughout for daily commercial use.
One repeat buyer purchasing a second unit and other reviewers writing in Spanish describe it as reliable for daily frying, though the sample also includes a report of the pilot light failing after only two uses with no local service technician available, leaving the owner to pay for repairs out of pocket. Another buyer received the unit without the gas connection line or install kit needed to hook it up. There is no lid included to keep oil free of airborne particles between uses.

- 90,000 total BTU, three burners
- 200-400F thermostatic control range
- Two chrome-plated baskets included
Who it's for
Fits a restaurant or foodservice kitchen that needs high volume propane frying capacity and can source its own gas line parts if the box arrives incomplete. Less suited to anyone without access to local appliance repair, since at least one buyer found no service technician available in their area.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
A repeat buyer purchasing a second unit and other reviewers describe it as reliable for daily commercial frying with good results on fried chicken and similar items. One owner reported the pilot light stopped working after just two uses and found no local service technician available, leaving them to pay for repairs themselves, and another received a unit without the gas line or install kit needed to connect it. A separate reviewer noted the pilot button sits low and is hard to see, and wished for a lid to keep particles out of the oil.

Performance notes
Three 30,000 BTU burners combine for 90,000 total BTU output, aimed at recovering oil temperature quickly between batches in a commercial setting. Adjustable thermostatic controls span 200 to 400F, and basket hanger rails let excess oil drain back into the vat before baskets are moved. The 3/4 inch gas connection is sized for standard commercial propane hookups, though at least one unit arrived without the connecting line or install kit.
