Overview
The Giantex GT24955US-PE is a 1700-watt electric deep fryer with a 5.3-quart oil capacity and three frying baskets, one large and two small, built for home batches of fried food rather than continuous commercial use.
- 5.3 quart / 21 cup oil capacity
- 1700 watt immersion heating element
- Adjustable temp 302-374F with 60-min timer
- Enamel-coated, non-stick inner liner
Who it's for
Suits home cooks and small gatherings who want to fry a full batch of wings or fries alongside a smaller side without swapping oil. Less suited to anyone who fries often and needs equipment built to survive daily use, given the reliability complaints.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers who kept a working unit like the fast heat-up, easy cleanup, and having a large basket alongside two smaller ones for different foods. The recurring complaint is durability: one reviewer called the outer shell cheaply made before even using it, and others report the fryer stopped working after seven months or after a single use.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Three baskets cover large and small batches at once
- Timer prevents leaving oil on too long
- Fast heat-up recovers temperature between batches
- View window lets you watch frying without opening the lid
- Outer shell feels cheaply made to some buyers
- Multiple reports of early failure within months
- Not built for frequent or commercial-level frying
- Oil capacity smaller than some full-size fryers
Performance notes
The 1700-watt immersion element is sized to recover oil temperature quickly between batches, which several reviewers credit for crisp results at parties. The adjustable temperature knob covers 302 to 374 degrees Fahrenheit with a 60-minute timer, and the lid's view window lets you watch frying without lifting it and risking a splash. The outer shell and switch assembly are the weak points reviewers flag, with at least two units failing within months of purchase.
