Overview
The Kratos 29Y-015 is a commercial electric countertop deep fryer with a single 15 lb tank, ETL certified for 208/240V operation through a NEMA 6-20P plug, built in stainless steel for food trucks and concession stands.
A front-mounted drain valve and basket hanger are meant to simplify oil changes and cleanup between shifts, and non-skid feet keep the unit steady on a counter. The thermostatic dial goes up to 370 degrees Fahrenheit. Amazon's listing notes the warranty is void if the fryer is installed in a residential setting, so it is sold and wired as commercial equipment.
- 15 lb single tank capacity
- ETL certified for commercial use
- 208/240V, 2700-3600 watts, NEMA 6-20P plug
- Front drain valve and basket hanger
Who it's for
Food truck operators, concession stands and cafes needing a compact single-tank fryer where 208/240V power is already available. It is not a fit for a home kitchen on standard 120V outlets.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers are split on heat output. One buyer said the fryer starts slow and speeds up once running, while another found it never gets hot enough to properly cook onion rings and cheese curds. A third reviewer called the control panel hard to clean but said the fryer itself works fine.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Front drain valve simplifies oil changes
- Stainless steel, ETL certified construction
- Basket hanger drains oil before cooling
- A reviewer found it doesn't get hot enough for some foods
- Control panel is hard to clean per one reviewer
- Needs a 208/240V circuit, not a standard household outlet
Performance notes
The heating element draws 2700 to 3600 watts on a 208/240V circuit, with a thermostatic dial that tops out at 370 degrees Fahrenheit. The basket hanger lets oil drain and the basket cool before removal, and the front drain valve empties the tank for cleaning without lifting it.
