Average Product Rating
We averaged all of the customer ratings we have received on Dean products to come up with an average product rating. This rating represents our overall customer feedback on this brand.
Dean’s Thermo-Tube Design is Key to Savings We all know that higher efficiency is great for the environment and for lower energy costs, but how does Dean achieve its amazing efficiency ratings? The key is in its Thermo-Tube design. Because the burners on Dean fryers are immersed in the oil as a more direct heat source, less gas is wasted while heating the oil during active and idle times. Dean’s Thermo-Tubes are also 2 inches taller than other models, increasing the heat transfer surface area by an amazing 25 percent. This means less BTUs are required during each and every hour that a Decathlon series fryer is operating, offering operators consistent savings on their monthly energy costs.
All HD Decathlon Fryers Meet EnerLogic™ Standards Qualifying for Manitowoc’s Enerlogic™ program is a big deal for high-efficiency foodservice products. In most cases, it means the unit will save its operator thousands each year while also qualifying for ENERGY STAR® rebates. This dramatically lowers the unit’s total cost of ownership while providing exceptionally-consistent results that you won’t find in an economy fryer. In short, your fried food products will cook faster, taste better, and cost your business less money.
Don’t Forget to Filter! Filtering your oil is essential in maintaining the taste of your products as well as preserving the quality of your oil, extending its life. Dean has several oil filtration options, including units that provide a reversible pump that can drain a 50-pound frypot in a matter of minutes. They even offer low-profile units that work with most non-Dean fryer models, meaning you can ensure your oil’s quality no matter the brand. Dean Fryer Oil Filters

I shopped at all local restaurant supply stores, and could not find any good deal. Great purchase from "Foodservicewarehouse.com". The filter machine comes in a crate with all attachments, neoprene gloves to handle hot oil, samples of DE filter powder, and some filter paper too. ready to use out of the box.

A Good Value

For the money this model is one of the best values on the market. It is easy to clean and very simple mechanically, so it is great for chefs who do not want to deal with digital controls: it’s all manual. The one thing to keep in mind is that it does not have built in timers, which for some is a negative, though there are plenty of chefs who dislike built in timers. It is a matter of preference. The bottom line is that it is a very dependable, low-cost machine that is great for anyone who needs to fry a variety of foods but doesn’t want a larger fryer that uses a lot of oil.
