Editorial Review:
The patented cooking 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 3 replacement filters and AC adapter.
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

Poor Design, Buyer Beware
Wow. This unit is one of the most worthless items I've ever bought. I fried a turkey last night, and this morning I tried to pump/filter the oil. I've had some bad luck with filtering oil by hand (big mess), so I was really excited to use this pump. It pumped out maybe 1/4" of oil from the pot (which is literally a drop in the bucket) before it stopped pumping oil. After taking the unit halfway apart, I noticed the problem. The impeller shaft would fall out from where it is attached to the motor after... more info
Decent, But Better Products Out There
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,... more info
Consider this a good quality Disposable unit
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... more info
Works with reservation
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... more info
