Giantex GT24955US-PE Deep Fryer Review
Our verdict
The Giantex GT24955US-PE offers 5.3 qt capacity and 1700W at $54.91, matching the Costway HD3501A on specs at a slightly lower price. At 4.2 stars from only 70 reviews, the small sample makes a confident recommendation difficult, but the price-to-capacity ratio is genuinely attractive.

Overview
The Giantex GT24955US-PE is a 5.3 qt, 1700W stainless steel deep fryer priced at $54.91. Its 12 x 11 x 8.5 in body and 7.7 lb weight are nearly identical to the Costway HD3501A, suggesting a shared factory origin or very similar manufacturing spec. The stainless steel construction is durable and appropriate for countertop frying.
At $54.91, this fryer undercuts many larger-capacity competitors. Giantex is a budget-focused brand that sells across multiple appliance categories. The specs are comparable to more expensive options, but brand support and quality control consistency are less predictable.
The review base of 70 ratings at 4.2 stars is too small to draw firm conclusions. A sample of 70 buyers can produce a 4.2 average that shifts substantially with a few more reviews in either direction. Prospective buyers should monitor the listing over time and read every available review.
Performance notes
At 1700W and 5.3 qt, this fryer is capable of family-size batch frying: wings, thick-cut fries, donuts, or fish fillets in substantial quantities. The 12 x 11 in footprint is slightly wider than the Costway's 11 x 12 in, which may affect basket shape and food arrangement. Performance at this spec level is suitable for regular home use.
What buyers say
Seventy reviews at 4.2 stars is too small a sample to draw confident conclusions. What reviews exist are generally positive about the capacity and price, but this fryer lacks the review volume to distinguish reliably strong quality from an underdeveloped rating. Buyer caution is warranted relative to options with 500 or more reviews.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Giantex GT24955US-PE the same as the Costway HD3501A?
The two fryers share nearly identical specs: 5.3 qt, 1700W, stainless steel, 7.7 lb, and dimensions within an inch of each other. They may share a factory or component supplier. The Giantex is about $2 cheaper. Neither has a large enough review count to confidently recommend one over the other.
Can I trust a fryer with only 70 reviews?
A small review count means the average rating is more sensitive to outlier experiences. A 4.2-star average at 70 reviews could realistically settle anywhere from 3.8 to 4.5 stars with a larger sample. It is not a red flag on its own, but it means less certainty than a 1,000-plus review product.
What type of food is the GT24955US-PE best suited for?
With 5.3 qt of oil capacity and 1700W, it is suited for home frying of chicken pieces, french fries, shrimp, or similar foods in family quantities. It is not suited for very large items or commercial-volume cooking.
