Kalorik MAXX Air Fryer Oven, 26 Quart 10-in-1 Countertop Toaster Oven & Air Fryer Combo - Fry, Bake, Roast, Rotisserie, & More, Large Glass French Doors & 9 Accessories, 1700-Watts, Stainless Steel

I absolutely love the quality it is energy efficient to the max. The controls are easy to use as long as you read.The manual first. The versatility on this thing is amazing, you can make anything. I thought it was going to be too big.But after I received it, if fit nicely in the corner of my countertop. The safety? Just please be careful because it's true.What they say, you will get burned if you do not let it cool down before putting it back in the corner, or wherever you are going to be storing it. The quality of it is wonderful. As I said, before using this oven, be sure to read every single instruction given. Like, don't just take it out of the box and use it. You must prepare it. It says you have to turn it up to I believe 500°, set the timer for 20 min., and LEAVE IT ALONE until it shuts itself off. In other words, I guess it's PRIMING the oven before usage of the oven. The chicken wings did not come out as crispy when it was on air fryer. Cooked a second batch on the wings button, & the second batch was much better, crispier. It takes some time & patience before you really learn how to use it. I personally got frustrated. I went on youtube to look up this specific air fryer & it was extremely helpful. PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND NOT BURN YOURSELF. THIS IS VERY VERY HOT. When using, make sure it is out in the open & not tucked away in a corner. I like the way that EVERYTHING is stored neatly inside the oven. BE SURE TO CLEAN INSIDE & OUT AFTER EVERY USE. It could get very dirty & greasy.If you do not clean it. It's best to clean after every single use. A big tip? YOUTUBE. Others share their recipes & such. Have fun with your new oven.

I promised myself if it lasted 6 months I would write a 5 star review and if it lasted less than 6 months I would write a 3 star review (less review). The thing is; the doors don't close completely due to what looks like bad fit and finish, one of the trays is a little too big - keeping the doors open even more. Had it not been for the pandemic I would have probably returned it without even plugging it in, but... we are so happy with how it works, how it cooks and the results. It has lasted 9 months to date with little sign that it won’t go for several years or more.This is my first air-fryer, but it completely checks the boxes of being able to make fries, onion rings, chicken wings the best. So good that fast food fries directly from the take out window taste sad and soggy compared to the crisp clean fries I get from this thing. That’s no exaggeration; after about 6 months with no fast food and cooking all meals at home due to some issue in 2020 I finally had my first big Mac and fries and the big Mac was ok and the fries just seemed soggy. I went back a week later and found similar results. I think I just expect more from fires now.I bought the largest air fryer I could find, for the rotisserie and it checks that box (it has flaws, more about that below). But the three hidden gems are, cheese toast, hot dogs / sausages and reheating bread from the refrigerator. It cooks these three things so much better than any other device that it is worth having just for those three things.So... I'm writing a five star review for a contraption that has flaws. You want to know the flaws and decide for yourself if it is worth your money. That’s why you are reading this super long review:1. The selector dial is super sloppy (I saw this in other reviews and I am reiterating they used a super cheap part for the dial). I waited over 6 months to write this review as I assumed it would break and I did not want to write a good review for a piece of junk. It has not broken and it has not gotten worse. I therefore concluded it is not a piece of junk, just a flowed device.2. It gets very hot and moves a lot of air. Hey, that is why you are looking at this one in the first place.! But the sides get too hot for me to put it near a wall and it blows so much hot air out the top back area I did not feel it was safe to run it under a cabinet.As a side note, much of the casing is cool to the touch, but some of it does get hot. My concern was trapping hot air. With nothing to cool my walls and 15 minutes of hot air, I was worried. I thought it would heat up the shelf above and with hot air rising and this thing producing a lot of hot air I worried it would damage the paint or even catch the kitchen on fire. I ended up moving it to an island location with nothing above it.3. The doors are very sloppy and do not really close all the way. Like the dial this is an unforced error that could be avoided by better build quality. But... this thing moves a lot of air and has louvers to draw air into it. The gaps on the front just contribute to the louver area and therefore do not detract from its actual function. Also, like the dial issue, I wanted to wait before writing this review to see if the door hardware would get worse. It did not.4. Two of the trays came with dents and the protective coating was damaged. This annoyed me, but not as much as the fact that one of the trays (the drip tray / baking tray) also does not completely fit inside the oven. It holds the doors open. How this sort of oversight is even possible is just really odd. I know from reviews other people have received ones with poor workmanship and many received them with no issues. I have to overlook this issue because I like the rest of what this does. You may feel otherwise.5. The loud beeping. It beeps, you will notice the beeping.6. The rotisserie setup has two design annoyances. The spit has a square end instead of a pointy end. good luck getting it to go through a chicken. I have a rotisserie rod from a broken machine that I use to pre-drill my food because this one is just too blunt. The end caps are tricky to get onto the spit. They hold very well, but these two flaws make the rotisserie process cumbersome.7. One more item of note regarding the rotisserie, unless you perfectly balance your chicken and tie it up really well, this machine does not fit a large frying chicken and only a small one will fit using the drip tray. Some tinfoil magic will need to be done at the bottom otherwise you will have chicken schmaltz leaking out the bottom of the machine. This happened once and it was not so fun to clean up. On the plus side, the rotisserie is strong enough to move unbalanced food and has good controls for stopping and reversing and the oven light works well to see inside.As I said at the top, this is my first air fryer so I don't really know if it is the best one or the worst one. It is a vegetable monster making tasty (and healthy) side dishes really easy, it does the frying thing super well and with the glass front lets you really dial in the browning on things like chicken wings. For making things like cheese toast or garlic bread this thing is just perfect. On the rotisserie I have done a tri-tip roast, a turkey breast and many chickens. For quick indulgence, this thing will cook a tray of fries directly from a frozen bag, a hot dog and then warm a hot-dog bun when placed in the last minute all at once. That's a whole meal with every item being cooked better than any other method I have ever used. Did I mention how well it cooks cheese toast?I begrudgingly give this thing five stars and would willingly pay about 50% more for one that has a build quality of a high end appliance and real stainless steel. And that is the story, I find the $199 a good value for this product as it sits today. We have purchased a number of cooking items and gadgets over the last year just to keep the mailman employed and to balance our own sanity. This thing gets used nearly every day for some task or another and deserves a good review despite itself.

Update!!!! June 20, 2024 I have now owned this air fryer for 4 years and am still in love with it!!! Thank you Kalorik for making such a great product!2021 - I have now owned this product for over a year and it is used often, almost daily! I am still very pleased with the way it cooks and how easy it is to use! It has held up very well! I am very happy with this air fryer!!!Thanks Amazon and Kalorik!I can't say enough good things about this air fryer! I would highly recommend the Kalorik Air Fryer Oven! I love mine!I replaced my old 5.8 quart air fryer, which was one of the larger ones. I liked and old one and used it fairly often, but the amount of food I could cook at once was not always enough so I would have to do 2 or 3 cookings to get enough food for a family.This oven will easily cook enough fried chicken at one time, for 4-6 people to have more than one piece of chicken.I have had my air fryer oven for almost 2 months and I use this machine almost every day.You can get almost any recipe you would like online. I have cooked many things in it and the food is always delicious!It is wonderful that it has so many features and can replace so many small appliances to free up counter space.There is one thing the manual didn't cover, the doors do not stay open they close automatically. But if you hold the right door open for a few seconds then the doors stay open. I think the manual should point this out we found it out by mistake!I love it and highly recommend. It arrived a week earlier than it said

Got the Maxx Air Fryer on the first day of the delivery window. Box was dented and torn, but product was packed well and not dented or scratched. Everything was in the box as advertised. Written directions were very clear and informative in the instruction booklet. Recipe book semi useful, half of the items I would never make. Internet is better source for my style of cooking. In the steak recipe, the amount of time it said to cook med-rare steak made a medium steak. Smaller instruction book was accurate for steak time. I had 1-1/2" fillet mignon which were nearly touching the burner which might have accounted for the over-cooking. You are cautioned to monitor food to prevent over-cooking when using the presets and I found that to be very necessary. I have re-heated pizza, cooked steak, brussel sprouts, zucchini fries, chicken legs, bacon and brat sausages. Everything tasted great most cooked to perfection. I did burn the brussel sprouts by not watching them carefully, they go from OK to overdone in a little over a minute using the air fryer setting. The fifth time using it was last night making zucchini fries they were great but when I went to clean the cooled oven the light would not come on! That is one of the features I really liked about the little oven. Today I plan to bake a cobbler and tomorrow rotisserie a pork roast.Things I don't like. Only the adjustment dial. I have to turn it sometimes two clicks and sometimes only one to get it to move from function to function on the digital screen. Not sure if this is normal. Buttons on front do get really hot when cooking steak at the 500° setting. Not so much at the lower temps. But caution is suggested. I don't make toast in the oven as it uses too much electricity compared to my little toaster when I am only making 2 slices. Would not use it as a dehydrator as I have two dedicated units. Will try the proofing feature when I make bread tomorrow.On the heat around the oven when operating, I only noticed excessive heat coming from the back where the main exhaust is. The rear wall did get hot, not enough to burn but enough that I put a glass tray against my wall so no worries about that and the instructions say to keep it 4" from all walls. The other sides do not appear to get hot, when a tissue is put near the vents they seem to be sucking in air not blowing it out. The top gets semi hot but not enough to make me worry or try to protect the cabinet above which is the prescribed 4". I place the little feet on 1" trivets mainly so I could move it forward and back on my counter when I used it, the little rubber feet did not slide so well which is probably a good thing.The front doors seem to cause folks to be concerned. Don't worry. They are really a great adaptation from the fold down door. I put a piece of foil or small cookie sheet in front. When I pull out the food the crumbs or drippings go on them instead of the crack of the door. I have the fold-down door on my convection oven and it's a pain to clean. The small crack between the doors does not cause any problems as some folks have questioned.The oven cleans up with a damp sponge. I spray a little vinegar on it and wipe, to cut the grease, then wipe with water dampened cloth. Dry the glass doors with paper towel and I'm ready to cook again. I put the fry basket, bacon tray, steak tray and drip tray in the dishwasher. All appear to be be non-stick except for the air fry basket although I don't see any coating of any kind. Looks like the same metal as the inside of my self-cleaning oven.I am bummed about the light and wondering what else is going to stop working. It appears the glass protector over the light is riveted in so would have to take the entire cover off to replace the light bulb. I'll call the company Monday as this is Saturday to see what can be done about the light.I was really thrilled with the oven before the light development. Have not used my stove oven or my countertop convection oven since I got it. I have already given away my George Jr rotisserie so I hope this light thing can be fixed. I'll update when I find out.UPDATE 8-13-20: Received the 3rd oven tonite (2nd replacement). They shipped the 2nd oven after I called a week after they got the the one with the broken light. It was 2 weeks before I got the 2nd oven, on a Friday night, of course. It was a mess. The bottom was all bent up, the doors would not open right, nor would it sit flat on the counter. I took pictures and emailed them to the Customer Rep I was working with. Monday morning before 8am CDT I got a call from the Customer Service Supervisor at Kalorik. He was very apologetic about the poor condition of the oven. Promised to personally inspect the next shipment and get it sent immediately. I checked my email where there was a return label waiting for me to print. I took the 2nd damaged oven to UPS on Monday and they shipped one from Florida on Monday also. I got the replacement tonight, Thursday. It was packed much, much better than the other ovens and appears to be a slightly different model, maybe an upgrade. The selector knob I mentioned on the original oven where I had to turn it several clicks to make it move on the selections is not an issue with this one. It moves with only one click. I have not been able to use it other than to do the original "burn-off" of the interior they tell you to do in the instruction booklet. The light issue has also been fixed it appears. The light in the new oven has a clip that looks like you could remove the glass and replace the bulb. Don't know yet but so far I am impressed with the new oven. Looking forward to re-heating some fries in it in the morning. I can not say enough good things about the Customer Service. They have been very responsive to my emails considering they may be working from home. I did not ask. Thank You to Kalorik for taking care of me.

Great kitchen addition

The Kaloric Air Fryer is easy to use and easy to clean. I can even guess when putting in food that doesn’t have specific air fryer instructions and the food comes out perfect! Very intuative!It looks good as well and is compact.

My wife and I really liked this product. It is easy to use and food cooked in it tastes really great! And it looks good. We have used it an average of three or four times a month since we got it at Christmas in 2021. Tonight, as we were finishing up our dinner (we had air fried some egg rolls in it) we heard a strange clunk in the kitchen. As we investigated the sound my wife attempted to close the French doors, which she had left open to help it cool quicker, and found they were stuck open and would not budge. I investigated and slowly began to try to disassemble the doors far enough to figure out why they were stuck. The doors appear to be the only item attached to this unit with rivets instead of screws, and I discovered that the last item you can get to in the disassembly is the central disk at the bottom of the unit that is supposed to rotate allowing the doors to open and closes. As you can see in the attached pictures, this is a metal disk with a plastic piece under it. The plastic piece is attached to the bottom of the oven with three screws (you can see the holes for them around the periphery of the black melted stuff). The metal disk is attached to the plastic one by a screw that goes through the hole in the middle of the metal disk. As you can see, the plastic piece has had a catastrophic failure and is now very firmly attached to the metal one. No more rotation at all. I don't see how this could have happened over time, so something must have gone really wrong with the heating element to get hot enough to do this. At least that's the best I can figure without being able to see the mechanism in working order. I have probably voided my warranty by taking it apart this far, but I couldn't see how the doors getting stuck would be so serious as to render the whole thing useless. And packing up a $200 appliance with the doors stuck open then paying shipping to get it to their facility is not something I think would be cost effective. I am hoping they will see this and honor the warranty. But, I'll see.

I'm still learning how to use it, but I am enjoying getting to retire my toaster oven and microwave and regaining almost 3 feet of counterspace in the process. I toast bagels for breakfast. I heat up frozen chicken tenders for lunch. I even bought a 9 inch rotisserie basket (not supplied) specifically to make popcorn using one of the rotisserie settings on the machine and Voila! We have air fryer POPCORN for after dinner snack! Granted it takes a little longer to pop the kernels, but it works amazing.So far I did a week's worth of meals since it arrived.. Every day I am moving further away from using cups of oil to cook our meals when frying. We all agree it is a lot easier to cook. I have eliminated the clunky huge electric fry pan for frying cutlets, the frying pan on the stovetop for making french fries. No more frying 5 chicken cutlets in oil and then setting the next 5 to fry as the first ones get cold....I do all at once now with a spray of oil on each! Even the oven has not been used this past week as everything is being cooked in my Kalorik air fryer. I bake, broil and roast mostly and the food cooks so quickly! Entire meals and they come out great. Pork chops, baked sweet potatoes, fresh roasted asparagus spears, sausage and peppers, chicken cutlets, baked chicken, fried chicken, pork cutlets, hamburgers and french fries. I want to make a rotisserie roast beef next and then try out salmon steaks and even fried shrimp using this.I am so happy I finally decided to get an air fryer with a window! Must have a window so you can see how the food is doing. Clean up is so simple now too as the pans clean off easily hand washing.If you're on the fence, like I was for many years about purchasing an air fryer, let me assure you, you will not be disappointed with this one. 2 Thumbs Up Kalorik. I look forward to many years of use.

This kalorik air fryer is beyond amazing!! It is truly a versatile kitchen appliance. We purchased this a few weeks ago, and since it’s arrived we haven’t turned on our kitchen oven. If I was going to purchase an air-fryer I wanted it to be something we could get great use of. The fact that you can cook a 14 pound Turkey sold me. The dinner options are endless, so many great meals in less time and easy cleanup. After each use, I hand wash whatever basket or tray was used. The inside of the air fryer is very easy to wipe with hot soapy water. As for some of the reviews complaining about condensation, yes there will be a small amount depending on what you’re making. But it’s not a lot at all. This air fryer has a permanent spot on our kitchen counter. Highly recommend if you’re considering buying this one. I did a lot of research and this was by far an outstanding option. I also like that multiple meal sides can be cooked simultaneously. Like pork chops, potatoes and veggies. Not to mention it’s a much healthier option. The rotisserie function makes finger licking good chicken lol. I hope you enjoy this appliance as much as my husband and I have.

Excelente horno. Se cocina super bien. Las alitas quedan doraditas y todo muy bien

This is my first experience with an air fryer and I am very pleased with the outcome. The set up was very easy – just had to wash all the parts and run the machine for 20 minutes (just followed the instructions in the manual). I just got it two days ago and have already tried a couple of the meals from the recipe book. Everything has turned out super crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. I made French fries, salmon, roasted veggies, onion rings, coconut shrimp and they were all a big hit. I also really like that it comes with so many functions. With two young children this machine has come in very handy, using the standard oven you have to wait for preheating whereas with this machine you just throw it in. I am very pleased with my purchase and have already recommended it to others. I was concerned about the flavour as I had heard from friends with other air fryers that sometimes things come out with a funny taste but everything has been delicious.

Excelente. Instructivo comprensible

Muy bien
