Tank size decides how much you can fry in one go, and how much counter space the unit takes up when it's not in use. Here's how the lineup breaks down.
| Tier | Capacity | Best For | Example Models |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solo & Small Batches | 1L to 1.5L | One or two servings, quick snacks | Alpina SF4007 (1L), Black & Decker EF1220-B5 (1.2L), Vonshef 13181 (1.5L) |
| Everyday Family | 2L to 3L | Family-size portions, weeknight cooking | Black & Decker EF2750, Alpina SF4001, Alpina SF4006, Vonshef 13183, Morphy Richards Accents |
| Large Batch & Entertaining | 3.5L to 5L | Parties, bulk frying, twin-flavor batches | Alpina SF4008 (twin 3.5L bowls), Frigidaire FDDF-1002 (4L), Westinghouse WKDF801 (5L) |
A compact 220 volt electric appliance like the 1-liter Alpina SF4007 heats its oil faster and stores away easier, so it suits a dorm kitchen, a single cook, or anyone tight on counter space. Step into the 3L-plus range and a family of four can fry a full batch of wings or fries without a second round, and the twin-bowl Alpina SF4008 lets you run two batches, or two different foods, side by side.
Wattage tends to climb with tank size too: the smallest units draw around 1000W to 1100W, while the 3L-and-up models run 1800W to 2150W for faster oil recovery between batches.
A handful of tanks in this lineup, including the Vonshef 13181 and 13183, the Black & Decker EF1220-B5, the Delonghi F13205, and the Alpina SF4007, add a viewing window so you can watch the food without lifting the lid. Most models also include a removable oil bowl or basket for easier cleanup, plus an adjustable thermostat; the Vonshef 13183, for example, dials from 130°C to 190°C.
If your outlet is rated 240 volts rather than 220, that's not a problem: this is the same power band, and a fryer built for the lower number runs fine on the higher one without any adjustment.
A few of the listings above are air fryers rather than oil-bath models, worth confirming on the product page first if hot-oil frying is the specific goal.

Use the sizing guide above to land on the right liter capacity, whether that's a personal-size unit, a family tank, or a twin-bowl model for entertaining.
We box it up at our warehouse and get it moving, whether the destination is a few states over or a different continent entirely.
Nothing else to buy or wire up once it arrives. Open the box, plug it into your outlet, and start heating oil.
These fryers were never 110V models retrofitted for export. Every heating element, thermostat, and timer left the factory already set for 220-240V current.
We've been packing appliances for overseas kitchens out of our Illinois headquarters for more than four decades, long before "moving abroad" meant a quick online search for what would actually work once you got there.
You'll recognize every name on this page: Alpina, Black & Decker, Vonshef, Westinghouse, Frigidaire, Vonhaus, Daewoo, Delonghi, and Morphy Richards. No unfamiliar off-brand gambles here.
Orders typically go out within a day or two of purchase, and if you'd rather talk it through first, our support line is staffed by people who know the catalog, not a bot reading from a script.
Yes. Every fryer in this lineup is rated for 220-240V; many list both numbers plus 50Hz right on the spec sheet, so it runs on a 240V outlet with no extra equipment.
In practical terms, none. 220V and 240V sit in the same household power band used across most countries outside North America, so a fryer built for one runs fine on the other.
Not directly. Standard US and Canadian outlets supply 110-120V, and we don't recommend a step-up transformer for a heat-generating appliance like a fryer. It's built for 220-240V countries.
It comes down to how many people you're cooking for. A 1L to 1.5L tank suits one or two people, 2L to 3L covers a typical family, and 3.5L to 5L (including twin-bowl models) handles bigger batches or entertaining.
Most models here are sized for home kitchens. The larger 4L and 5L units, and the twin-bowl Alpina SF4008, can handle light or small-batch commercial use, but for full commercial kitchen equipment, contact our team, and we'll help point you to the right fit.
Most ship with a European-style two-pin plug. A standard outlet adapter is all it takes to fit your wall socket, since the fryer runs on 220-240V current with nothing else to convert.
Our current lineup is countertop deep fryers built for home kitchens; we don't have dedicated burner units listed in this collection right now. For commercial kitchen equipment or burner options, reach out to our sales team directly.
