Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
This Eastman electric oil pump solves the problems associated with re-using cooking oil. It eliminates spillage when transferring from pot to storage container, and filters most particulate cooking matter which can taint the oil over time. Includes replacement filters.

Amazon.com Review
Designed for use with large-scale deep-fry pots, the electric oil pump from Eastman Outdoors extends the life of cooking oil and cuts down on cleanup mess. The pump transfers oil from a cooking pot to a storage container, with the option of filtering particulates along the way to make oil cleaner for reuse. Powered by an AC adapter, the device takes oil in through a long nozzle, pumps it through a filter cap, and releases it through a hose. Assembly and use is simple and tidy, though some dripping is inevitable. The pump is not suitable for purifying oil or for filtering other liquids, and it should only be used when oil is at or below 90 degrees F. --Emily Bedard

Flawed, but Effective November 23, 2007
I've used this pump a few times. The problem I've noticed has to do with the electrical contacts. Over time, they bend and move so that there is no contact with the batteries. After some adjustments of the contacts, the pump will work.

I've always managed to get the pump to work, but I never use it with confidence that it will work on the first try.

Decent, But Better Products Out There November 20, 2007
Unlike some of the other reviewers, my product did not malfunction. I have in fact used it for 2 years and have used it 5-6 times each year. The reason I rate this so low is because while the product would pump the majority of the oil, some of the oil would leak out of where the hose connects to the pump. Additionally what you do not see is that you have to physically hold the hose there (my pump did not come with anything to seal the hose to the pump).

While it would pump out the majority of the oil, once you got to about 1-2 inches left, because of the rounded shape at the bottom it becomes very challenging to tilt the pot containing the dirty oil, hold the hose, and pump the oil out. Once finished, the cleanup begins. Because the oil slightly leaks you have to clean the entire device as well as any counter or floor space you are using.

Since at the time I purchased this, there were no other options I had to suck it up and deal with it knowing that it was still better than trying to lift the pot, pour it through a funnel, and possibly make a bigger mess. That thought process just changed this year. King Kooker (Amazon sells them under the name Metal Fusion; the exact same though) has one that is sealed on the side and has a flat filter base. I'd be willing to bet someone in their organization used the Eastman and improved upon it. I haven't used it as of yet, but I will be doing a review right after Thanksgiving....

Whatever you decide, don't give up on turkey frying... Absolutely the best way to enjoy turkey!!

Consider this a good quality Disposable unit November 27, 2004

I am already on my second unit. I managed to get three uses out of the first one. I should have ordered the second when I saw the first one start smoking halfway through draining the turkey fryer. (No, the oil was not hot, it was at room temp.!) THe only reason I gave a second star is that it did work well, once. I really wish Eastman would re-design this to make it durable. I've given up and use PVC tubing from Home depot and a funnel with cheesecloth to get the residuals out. Good luck to anyone who wants to use this a second time!

Works with reservation January 1, 2004

This pump is a step backwards from the previous two battery version (this one has three batteries). The additional battery make it too heavy on the top so it doesn't sit well in the pot. It has a tendency to tip over, or at least shift from the position you set it at.

I would agree with some of the other reviews that it seems to loose power after the first use. The thicker the oil, the harder a time it has. If you heat the oil before filtering, it works much better. Note that you don't want to get the oil too hot - perhaps nothing hotter than 100 degrees. I cracked the clear tube in my old two-battery one by running boiling water through it (requiring the purchase of this model).

If you can find the older version, I highly recommend it, but the three battery version is definately a step backwards.

1 out of 5 stars Pump dies during first use November 29, 2003
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I had bought the battery version of this pump as gifts for other turkey fryers and bought the electric one for myself two months ago. Used it for the first time today, all was well until the pump lets out a little smoke and quit after pumping 4.5 gal of room temp oil. I called the Eastman Outdoors help line and they were very good about offering to ship out a new unit but had no advice on why the pump died or whether this has been a common problem.

I'll see how the replacement unit works out the next time I do a turkey. Now I'm wondering how the battery versions I bought for gifts worked out in comparison.
