Kalorik MAXX® Digital Air Fryer Oven, 26 Quart, 10-in-1 Countertop Toaster Oven & Air Fryer Combo-21 Presets up to 500 degrees, Includes 9 Accessories & Cookbook

The media could not be loaded. I tried a lot of air fryers over the years and to be honest many have failed at some aspect or another on cooking performance. I was looking for a new air fryer that had the ability to cook quickly and also the ability to sear a good steak. Making healthy quick meals is important for my busy lifestyle.My friend told me about the MAXX air fryer oven that he saw on TV. I did my research online and was happy to see that it claims it could cook a steak 37% faster than the average air fryer oven, amongst other recipes and very fast cooking times. The website claims it has a large capacity of 26 quarts, has 21 presets which seemed to be a lot compared to others, and also came with 9 accessories which is a lot more than all the others (including a searing steak tray and rotisserie). It also comes with a handy cookbook. Overall, it looked like very good value for an air fryer oven with a lot of features.I received the package from Amazon within few days. The MAXX air fryer oven came in very good condition, was about the size expected for a larger capacity air fryer oven, and the unit looks great! It has a full stainless steel front with digital display, and nice double front doors.I followed the instructions in preparation of using the machine to prepare my dinner. I decided to make a ribeye steak seared and finished with butter, lightly seasoned with salt and pepper. I also wanted to make sweet potato fries, dusted with salt pepper and garlic powder (with minimal oil). I finished the meal with a salad on the side.Step one: The unit is very easy to understand and operate… The instructions were clear.Step two: I prepared the sweet potatoes and chop them to create sweet potato fries homestyle. The generous size of the air frying basket allowed me to make three large sweet potatoes in one go, in only 15 minutes! This sweet potatoes were cooked perfectly. I did add about a tablespoon of oil to coat the fries.Step 3: I took two relatively large ribeye steaks (my favourite cut), seasoned with a touch of oil, salt, and pepper. I preheat the air fryer oven for five minutes per the instructions, and cooked the steak five minutes on each side since I like my steaks medium (4 minutes on each side is medium rare per their instructions). Embarrassingly, I did freeze the steaks to prepare for the worst case scenario as a result of the Covid crisis (back up food). I did not have a chance to buy fresh steaks as I usually get home from work late. I did defrost them slightly but the air fryer oven was able to still cook the steaks extremely well even when slightly frozen! The steaks did smoke quite a bit, but I am used to that as I do a lot of grilling and searing steaks is going to create smoke. I had my air fryer near my stove fan for ventilation.In total: That is 15 minutes for the potatoes, 10 minutes for the steaks, and 5 minutes of preheat time. At most I took 5 minutes of prep time before cooking.... 25-30 minutes total time for a great meal.I am extremely pleased with the performance of the MAXX air fryer oven. It cooks extremely fast, was surprised at how evenly it cooks the food without drying it out, and very happy with the overall performance. I made enough food for two generous size meals + in less than 30 minutes. I’m excited to try more recipes with all of the various accessories and presets. Lastly, cleanup of the unit is a breeze. The enamel coating was very easy to clean after cooking with the steaks.I recommend this purchase, it performs, saves you time, and from what I can see, is very good value compared to others in the market.

My boyfriend has loved this for cooking. It’s easy enough to clean, and everything turns out really good with this. Useful for a lot of different types of foods, and it’s nice that the doors are connected so if you open one, the other opens, so it’s easy to open with one hand. We have a smaller counter space and it’s worked pretty nice. Haven’t had any problems with it yet

size is great, you can literally shove a half sheet pan in it! big batches of food right in for cookin!love the doors, I always hated the bottom drop of a regular toastermany uses, oven toast, airfry, the defrost and reheat are SUPER convenient!! waaaay better than reheat or defrost in the microwave!!!!serious the airfryer is great. a big open rack. the fan is right on top, makes delish food right out of the bag (fries, butterfly shrimp etc)rotisserie is a HUGE bonusbuild quality seems pretty tight, it's lasted this long and no issues.some cons:its loud. I get the fan is loud but the buttons are way to loud, i just wanna make toast not signal a ship in the sea with beepsit's intuitive to use, but positive feedback form the interface could be improved. I can;t tell if the update to the timer is taking effect or not or do I have to hit another button, not a huge deal but could be smoother. The dial seems broken, a common "review" item. I know its not it's just how the dial is, wiggly. Makes peple think its busted when its not.the vent in the back needs some re-engineering. Its pointed right at your counter back wall. Sure they give min distance but even at that the wall gets screaming hot. I put a metal plate behind it and that helps but my counter is open to a door on the left side so that may not be applicable to others. I almost feel vent to the front would be over all better lol.the dehydrator is a joke. They know it, they have to . It was an after thought. If it were a real "feature" they wouldn't have restricted the timer to 90 mins at a time. No dehydrator dehydrates for an hour and a half at a time. You have to go back to it every 90 mins and add time. Potentially a dozen time. you wanna dry fruit by babysitting?? yea neither do i. stop marketing it as such and just make it a regular actual function with long distance timer settings possible. Seriously adding a dehydrator would add a great deal of value to this unit.Size. I mention a half sheet pan right in it. Yup. right in the regular slots for the racks. here's the thing, that's a coincidence it can at all, honestly I might have to grind the pans down at the rims to really make it work, right now it's a real hard push to get them in. Make it a feature. Just widen the inside literally a hair and you can say "Fits half sheet pans right inside!" I would have bought it on that alone, i use sheet pans all the time, love them they take serious abuse!!the automatic cooldown is too long. We end up holding the button many times to shut it off prematurely. The noise.
