Great little Deep Fryer
This was to replace my last one which was also a Sunbeam 5 L which lasted over 22 years.

Really good value
My only criticism is that it doesn't get hot enough for what I want to cook, but it does the job. Easy to clean.

Not really what I expected
I wanted an oil fryer that I could bring out when I needed to cook chips. After unpacking this item and throwing away the box I then read the instructions to find that you cannot leave oil in the pan, which I am used to doing. Hence the fact it is a chore to keep cleaning and emptying out after each frying use. For other cooking methods it is great.

Great Little Fryer
The Sunbeam 5lt Deep Fryer is an excellent product. We use an air fryer for most of our "fried" food so as to not consume too much fat in our diet. This fryer is for those items that air fryers do not do justice like proper chips and battered fish. This fryer is fantastic. It heats very quickly and the foods we have used it for come out perfect. The basket ensure that oil is drained from the chips fish etc. it is small enough to store and the handle detaches from the basket to make it even smaller. Very happy with our purchase and it will get a lot of use in our kitchen.

Excellent product
I have had this Sunbeam multi cooker for a couple of months now. I love how you can not only use it for a deep fryer but for cooking in as well. Such a space saver. Would definitely buy again. It’s also so easy to clean after deep frying. Quality is 5 star.

Key benefits
- 5L Capacity: Cooks large batches, ideal for family-sized meals.
- Multi-function Cooking: Deep fries, boils, braises, and stir fries for versatile meal options.
- Stainless Steel Basket: Allows safe draining and easy handling of fried foods.
- Non-stick Coating: Simplifies cleaning and reduces food sticking.

Q: Is the 5L size the same as the oil capacity on the Sunbeam DF4500?
A: No. The 5L figure refers to the overall pot size, not a stated oil fill volume. For deep frying, the product page instead lists a 1kg food capacity, so it is sized more like a compact family fryer than a large commercial-style unit.
Q: Can the basket on the Sunbeam DF4500 be used for more than deep frying?
A: Yes. The stainless steel basket is also intended for foods that need draining, such as pasta and vegetables. Its handle rests on the pot edge for draining, then folds inward for storage when the basket is not being used.
Q: Does the Sunbeam DF4500 let you adjust the cooking temperature?
A: Yes. It has variable temperature control, which is useful if you want lower heat for simmering or higher heat for frying. The page does not list exact temperature numbers, so it is better suited to flexible everyday cooking than precision set-point cooking.
Q: Is the Sunbeam DF4500 suitable for cooking full family meals, not just snacks?
A: Yes. Sunbeam describes it as a 3-in-1 cooker that can boil, roast, casserole, braise, stir fry and deep fry, and the 5L pot is positioned for whole-family dishes. It is more versatile than a single-purpose fryer if bench space is limited.
Q: How easy is the Sunbeam DF4500 to clean after frying or braising?
A: Cleanup is designed to be simpler than many basic fryers. The vessel and glass lid are dishwasher safe, and the cooking surface has a non-stick coating, which helps with oily residue and stuck-on food after stews, frying or sautéing.
