## What reviewers say

Only one whitelisted tester — Reviewed (USA Today) — has a genuine hands-on write-up of the Breville BDF500XL Smart Fryer, and it names it Best Overall. Sharon Franke praises its LCD presets, accurate temperatures, and crispy, evenly browned results across foods from mozzarella sticks to Nashville-style chicken, while flagging that the ready beeps are hard to hear and that the fryer is pricey. No lab-measured numbers were published for this model. (Based on 1 review, 1 lab-tested, 2023-11-06.)

Praised: LCD screen with accurate preset programs; the most convenient, user-friendly model tested; Crispy, evenly browned results across foods from mozzarella sticks to Nashville-style chicken; Accurate oil temperatures; basket and oil container are dishwasher safe.
Flagged: Ready beeps are hard to hear; Pricey for its category.
Disagreement: Single-source only: Reviewed's Best Overall verdict could not be cross-checked against a second whitelisted tester, so there is no basis to confirm or contest it. The widely-repeated '±5°F temperature accuracy' figure appears nowhere in Reviewed's article and traced only to non-whitelisted spam blogs, so it is omitted. No lab-measured values were published for this model.
