Gave away our deep fryer many years ago. Too hard to clean and took too much space. I just saw one recently that can completely disassemble for easier cleaning.
At the moment I use a Bain Marie pot to deep fry: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/6-qt-bain-marie-pot/92278760.html
It minimizes mess, but it’s hard to fry large batches. Straining the leftover oil is still a pain. Barkeeper Friend makes cleanup bearable.
