Kitchen must have
This air fryer has become my favorite kitchen appliance. It’s large enough to cook enough food for my family but compact enough to not take up my whole kitchen counter. The buttons and dials are easy to see and use, the auto shut off is amazing, and it will cook the best steak ever quicker than I could order from any steakhouse around. This air fryer has so many functions to choose from. It’s an air fryer, grill, dehydrator, oven, and more. Clean up is so easy.

Did an amazing job for 4 years, but impossible to keep clean
On cooking -It does what it says it does. I didn’t use the rotisserie function ever, but we used this instead of our oven for just about everything. I do a lot of sous vide and use this to finish things off. It does an excellent job. My only complaints with cooking are- You can only get the higher temperature by switching to the steak setting, otherwise it caps at 450. A minor thing, but that’s fine.- There are no seals around the doors, and they aren’t recessed, so it does not trap in heat efficiently. On the cooking front you have to turn things around to get them to cook evenly, otherwise anything in the back gets more heat than anything in the front. Because the fan spins in a single direction, one corner will also be more cooked than the other. I imagine this also makes it far less energy efficient.On cleanliness -Because the glass doors extend to the bottom and aren’t recessed at all, any grease spray runs down the doors and underneath the air fryer. Oil will also run down the metal sides and out the front, pooling around the feet of the air fryer.As long as you are able to clean it every week, it’s great. But the drip tray was of very poor quality, and was ruined after six months of use. We did our best to clean it regularly, once per week, but occasionally, we wouldn’t have time to clean it and it would get a little bit worse. Once something’s burned on, it’s hard to get off without scratching away the coating. This is what happened to the drip tray – Something would burn to it, and we would strip a little of the finish off to get it clean. Then something would burn more – Rinse and repeat until we couldn’t get anything off of it.Overall -I definitely got my money’s worth out of it, but at this point the labor required to keep it clean is far more than it’s worth, so we’ll be throwing it out and looking for a model with better designs like recessed doors and things of that nature.

We love our Kalorik MAXX air fryer. Our daughter took our first one to university and we promptly bought another to have in our home. It is a little bit bigger than an average air fryer, so it will take up a bit more counter space. It’s big enough that you probably don’t want to always be putting it away (out of sight) somewhere, but you could if you wanted to. We use it all of the time so we leave it out. It’s great for cooking and super convenient for warming things up (you don’t have to wait at all like you would if you were pre-heating a traditional oven). It’s French-door design, I believe, is more practical than other designs.While I think it’s interior is more spacious than most other models of air fryer we considered, it can still be limiting. For example, if we are doing chicken wings or French fries (for example) for our family of five, we do have to do them in batches. For single people, or couples, I am convinced you’d use it more than a traditional oven.When using it to cook, you do often get a lot of splatter on the interior walls. Some good advice would be to clean the interior after each use and if possible when the air fryer is still warm. Residue will come off much easier than if you leave it or let it build up for many uses.

I just got this air fryer and I’ll say I’m very impressed. The setup took 10 minutes to wash the parts, dry, and then plug it in and ready to go. It does require about 20 minutes “burn-in” to clean the inside on the steak setting, but the instructions were very clear as to what to do.This Air Fryer worked exceptionally well I baked trout and air fried brussels sprouts that came out so good my kids cleaned their plates!The fish setting had the ideal timing. The trout was cooked perfectly, it was cooked through but very moist and flavourful.. it’s easy to overcook fish so this was a welcome surprise as it didn’t require the normal attention to make sure the fish isn’t dry, just turn it on and go do something else until it’s done.For the Brussels sprouts I used the air fry setting and a little olive oil and the sprouts came out perfectly caramelized they were light, with much less oil than sauteeing, yet had great flavour. Again this was a set it and forget it scenario.All the parts came out of the machine easily and washed off perfectly no fuss or mess it was easier than using a pan.The only part I would warn about is that the glass doors and metal shielding get very hot. Make sure to keep little hands or big hands away from it. It is very clearly labeled where the hot parts are but kids and many adults don’t read labels so be aware of that.
