Quick and easy
I am impressed with how quickly the oil heats and appreciate the filter, as it extends the life of the oil. I have used the fryer several times now, especially to make sweet potato fries. These far surpass those that I have made in the past, that were oven baked, in terms of flavour crispiness and cooking time. To cap it off, the shopping experience with the Good Guys was hassle-free and expedient.

At a glance
The Tefal Filtra Pro Premium 4L is a family-sized deep fryer designed for cooking bigger batches of chips, snacks and fried favourites with less waiting between rounds. Its strengths are the 4L capacity, built-in oil filtration and dishwasher safe removable parts. It suits households that fry regularly, though it is bulkier and uses more oil than compact air fry or small fryer alternatives.
What it’s great for
- Family Meals
- Batch Frying
- Chips and Snacks
- Entertaining
- Weekend Cooking
Where it works best
- Family Kitchen
- Large Household
- Entertaining Area
- Home Cooking Setup
Who it’s for
- Families
- Frequent Home Cooks
- Entertainers
- Households Wanting Larger Batch Cooking
Things to consider
It takes more bench space and oil than smaller fryers, and it does not offer the lower-oil cooking style or broader presets found in air fryers and some premium multi-cookers.
Family cooking suitability
High - suitable for family-sized batches thanks to its 4L oil capacity and 1.3kg food capacity
Oil odour control score
7/10 - lid design helps contain splatter and some odour, but it is still a traditional oil fryer
Ease of cleaning rating
9/10 - dishwasher safe bowl, lid, frying basket and filtering mesh make post-cooking cleanup much easier
Safety features score
7/10 - viewing window, on/off indicator and cool zone support safer everyday use, though it remains a hot-oil appliance
Crispiness performance
8/10 - immersed heating element and 150 to 190°C temperature range support strong browning and crisp results when used correctly
Key benefits
- 4L Oil Capacity: Lets you prepare larger portions in one session for family-sized cooking.
- 1.3kg Food Capacity: Handles a substantial batch of chips or fried food at once, reducing the need for repeat cooking.
- Immersed 2300W Heating Element: Provides strong heating power for bringing oil up to cooking temperature and maintaining heat during frying.
- Built-In Oil Filtration Mesh: Catches crumbs and residue so oil stays cleaner between uses.
- Viewing Window in Lid: Helps you monitor browning without opening the lid as often.
- Digital Timer: Alerts you when cooking time is up for easier batch management.
- Dishwasher Safe Removable Parts: Simplifies cleanup with the bowl, lid, basket and filtering mesh all easier to wash.
- Cool Zone: Helps reduce burning of loose crumbs in the oil for cleaner frying results.
Q: Is this fryer big enough for family meals at once
A: Yes. The Tefal Filtra Pro Premium holds 4L of oil and cooks up to 1.3kg in one batch, so it suits family-sized chips, fish or snacks. It is better for larger serves than a compact fryer, but it will take more bench or storage space.
Q: Does the built-in filter mean oil stays usable for longer
A: Yes. The built-in mesh filter catches crumbs and residue after cooking, which helps keep oil cleaner between uses. It does not refresh old oil completely, so heavily used or darkened oil will still need to be replaced.
Q: Can I watch food cooking without opening the lid
A: Yes. The lid has a viewing window, so you can check browning without lifting it and losing as much heat. That helps keep frying temperature steadier and can reduce splatter compared with opening the lid to look.
Q: Are the main fryer parts safe to put in dishwashers
A: Yes. The bowl, lid, frying basket and filtering mesh are dishwasher safe, so the greasy parts are easier to clean after frying. The electrical housing and heating parts should be wiped clean only, not put through a dishwasher.
Q: What does the cool zone do in this deep fryer
A: The cool zone is designed to let small crumbs drop below the hotter cooking area instead of sitting in it. That can help reduce burnt residue in the oil, but it does not replace filtering or regular oil changes after repeated use.
Q: What temperature range does this fryer actually offer
A: Tefal Filtra Pro Premium offers an adjustable 150 to 190C range through the knob control. That gives flexibility for lighter frying through to crisping chips and snacks, but it is not aimed at very low-temperature cooking below that range.
