CKE WG-85 Commercial Electric Fryer, 28L Vertical Double-Tank, Dual 4kW

Our review

The CKE WG-85 is a floor-standing electric fryer built around two separate 28-litre tanks, each with its own 4kW element. That twin-tank layout is the main reason to consider it: you can fry chips in one side and fish or chicken in the other without flavours crossing over, and a busy service can keep two baskets going at once. It suits small restaurants, hotels, caterers and takeaway kitchens that have outgrown a countertop fryer but do not want a single large vat. Before buying, confirm your power supply can carry two 4kW elements, since this is not a plug-in-and-go appliance, and check the floor space and clearance you have for a vertical unit. Compare it with single-tank floor fryers of similar capacity if you only ever fry one type of food, and with countertop models if your volume is modest. Also weigh how easy each tank is to drain and clean, because that shapes daily running costs more than the headline capacity. Available on Sokonia.
