Russell Hobbs Digital Deep Fryer 24580 review

About the Russell Hobbs Digital Deep

The 24580 is a countertop deep fat fryer from Russell Hobbs. The brand lists it as 3 litres with an oil capacity of 3.3L, and it cooks up to 1.2kg of food per batch. A retailer listing gives the power as 2300W.

Temperature is variable, so you set it to suit the food. The brand's page gives no temperature range. The timer is digital and you set it for each cook. A large observation window lets you check progress without lifting the lid.

The basket is a rise-and-fall design, which lowers food into the oil and lifts it out with the lid closed. The bowl is non-stick and removable, and the brand lists the dishwasher-safe parts as yes. Basket is the only accessory the brand lists. A user manual can be downloaded from the brand's page.

The body measures 25.6cm high, 26.5cm wide and 39cm deep, with a 104cm cable, according to Dunelm. One retailer gives the weight as about 4kg.

Who the Russell Hobbs Digital Deep suits

The 24580 suits a small family or a household that fries chips, fish or doughnuts every so often. 1.2kg per batch feeds a few people, the digital timer and window take some guesswork out of it, and a removable dishwasher-safe bowl keeps cleaning simple.

It is less suited to people who fry often and want oil filtered and stored for them. The brand's page mentions no filtration, so you handle used oil yourself. For that, look at the Tefal Oleoclean Pro FR804040. For one or two people with little worktop space, the Tower 1500W 2 Litre Deep Fryer T17001 is smaller. For big batches, the Salter Deep Fat Fryer 5L EK6266 holds more.
