Choosing a piece of commercial cooking equipment is a workflow decision as much as a purchase decision. Do you want electric baskets you can run independently, a gas station that also griddles, a convection oven that doubles as a batch baker, or a floor-model fryer built for high-volume frying? The listed prices here spread from $69.99 to $739.99, and each option lands in a different part of the kitchen and a different part of the menu.
Quick take
If you need a low-volume countertop fryer with two baskets, the Electric Countertop Deep Fryer 2 Tank 5000W is the least expensive included unit. If you want a single gas appliance that fries and grills, the Commercial Deep Fryer 6L Countertop Gas Fryer with Grill Griddle is the flexibility play. If you do more baking, snacks, and warm sandwiches than frying, the Avantco Half Size Convection Oven adds countertop oven capability without gas plumbing. If your orders justify a dedicated floor fryer, the WILPREP 3 Burners Commercial Floor Gas Deep Fryer delivers the highest listed capacity and cooking power.
All four options are listed as new condition, but they suit very different kitchens.

Product notes
Electric Countertop Deep Fryer 2 Tank 5000W
This stainless-steel unit puts two independently controlled fry baskets side by side. Each plugged tank runs on a 2500W heating element, and the temperature range goes from 140°F to 374°F, so you can run one basket hotter than the other or keep both at the same temperature. The removable baskets and dishwasher-safe parts make cleanup easier than a single communal fry pot. The practical limit is volume: a countertop fryer like this is best for moderate batches of french fries, onion rings, and egg rolls rather than a busy fry station. If your order flow stays light and you want electric convenience, this is the simpler countertop route.
Commercial Deep Fryer 6L Countertop Gas Fryer with Grill Griddle
This gas-heated countertop unit is really two tools in one. The 410 stainless steel body is riveted and welded, and the H-shaped burner head is meant to spread heat evenly across the griddle while the 6L oil pan fries. It can handle baking, grilling, frying, stir-frying, and boiling, so a small kitchen can consolidate appliances. The oil pan's 1.59-gallon capacity supports steady frying without frequent refills. The air valve is limited to low-pressure valves only, so check that your existing gas regulator matches before deciding. Assembly is required, making setup a little more involved than a plug-in countertop option.
Half Size Commercial Restaurant Kitchen Countertop Electric Heat Convection Oven
The Avantco half-size convection oven is the option for chefs whose counter space is better spent on baking than frying. Its 1.5 cu. ft. capacity and thermostat that runs 150-500°F fit small-batch cookies, snack foods, pizzas, and warm sandwiches. Because it uses electric heat and comes with a NEMA 5-15P plug, it avoids gas hookup questions entirely, while the stainless steel build, cool-touch door, and CE listed status are practical details for front-line service. Countertop size is both the appeal and the constraint: it's compact, so throughput stays modest. The unit carries a California Prop 65 lead warning, which you should weigh for your workspace.
3 Burners Commercial Floor Gas Deep Fryer Propane 90000 BTU 40lbs 400°F
The WILPREP floor gas fryer is the high-capacity end of this group. Its three tube burners generate 90,000 BTU, and the fry pot capacity is 35-40 lb, with two baskets included. The 200-400°F temperature range and 450°F gas cutoff provide a safety window for busy frying, while Energy Star Qualified and CSA labels are part of the unit's specifications. This is also the most physically demanding option: it's a floor model, weighs 134.5 lb, uses manual ignition, and needs four support legs and multiple screws to assemble. If propane is already part of your kitchen infrastructure and you have floor space, this one matches high-volume menus.
Final recommendation
For a snack bar or food cart that needs flexible, countertop-friendly cooking, the Commercial Deep Fryer 6L Countertop Gas Fryer with Grill Griddle gives you the most versatility in a compact footprint. For separate electric frying tasks on a countertop, stick with the Electric Countertop Deep Fryer 2 Tank 5000W. For bakeries, coffee shops, and pizza-by-the-slice counters, the Avantco Convection Oven is the better fit. And for a dedicated high-volume fry line with high BTU output, the WILPREP 3 Burners Commercial Floor Gas Deep Fryer is the one to build around.
