I just bought a new Maxi-Pro and it's a huge disappointment. The max temperature, though stated as 374, doesn't go above 330 - so the food its like a sponge full of oil. In addition, the design of the basket handle is very inconvenient - you can remove it each time when you close the cover, and try to reattach it when lifting the basket, or you can sink it in the fry pan and splash oil all over the place when you remove the basket. My recommendation - run away as fast as you can from this product!
