It doesn't look like they ever cleaned the outside of them. Also, I'm surprised these are electric since most restaurants use gas. But they could probably be reliable fryers if they were steam cleaned maybe.

Nasty Grease build up happens when these units or any equipment are installed side by side. Even with a stainless drip shield that covers the seams, this will still happen. Many restaurants do not have their equipment on wheels.
So once they are inplace, that's it until they get replaced or need to be pulled for service.

The last 4 kitchens I worked in had Quick Disconnect Gas Lines and casters under each piece of equipment. So, every week or every other week, they can be disconnected to clean each piece, sweep and mop behind and under the equipment. Board of Health loves that. The Fire Department... Not so much... They are ( or have been ) sketchy of quick disconnect. They like Hard Piped.

I have used electric fryers and they recover (reheat) pretty fast. And fairly easy to clean as the gas models have heat exchangers that are pretty difficult to clean around and underneath..

Well, that does makes sense too, considering these don't have wheels on them.

I do recall seeing a Keating fryer, much like this one in the middle school here, and not on wheels either. Plus there was a warming station next to it with heat lamps. But a few inches of space in between so that aluminum foil was put between the fryer and station to keep oil from getting on the floor.

Plus there were three of these fryers in the high school, but larger. And they had about 6" between each one, I presume to aid in cleaning. Those ones were on wheels also.

All of those fryers were electric, and looked similar to these two, except that they had basket raising/lowering arms that went over the back, instead of that hanging rail.
