Hahahahahaha your story was great. Congrats. ONE THING. About the Kalorik. I JUST got it I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you for the info. I wasn’t sure about the styrofoam with the filter it didn’t say to remove I did but wasn’t sure. lol. You are a GREAT teacher of how to do things. I will be watching more of your videos. Thank you very much have a blessed day!
Im going to be buying this amazing Air fryer, oven n Smokless Grill new one 26qt.. thankyou so very much for your video help with my decision, as im moving into my dream a Tiny house, and ever space counts ( love the different functions, ❤️ Thankyou
What a great video! Ive been shopping around online and doing my research on multi function air fryer ovens. I keep coming back to this one. I really like its capacity and its temperature range. I also like all the accessories it comes with. I'm probably going to buy it. Found a cyber Monday deal for $139 at Walmart.👍🏼 I do have a question about it though. Do you happen to know what the different numbers mean that come after the manufacturers name i.e. 47270, and a bunch of other ones? Thanks for the the great video. I look forward to watching your other ones.😁
Thank you so very much for the kind thoughts. I really love this device. For $139 that is the steal of a deal. I'm not sure what the numbers signify. I think they are different depending on what store it's being sold at and what accessories it comes with. Sometimes they are sold it a lesser price with lesser accessories so just make sure you know what it comes with before purchasing it. Appreciate you tuning in. 😊
It definitely does bake potatoes very efficiently. Toast is okay but you may want to still use your toaster. For pizza it works great. I recently put out a pizza video if you look at my list of videos. Of course for pizza you definitely want to bake and not air fry with this device otherwise the crust won't get heat from the bottom.
Ugh forgot to ask the real question. The DOORS are they always as hot as they got when I did the burn off I almost burned my fingers touching the doors. Thank you.
You should never touch the doors directly after heating up the oven. You should only use the handles. The handles will be very warm to the touch but not hot by any means. Not to the point where they will burn you.
I don't think that would work. The grill grate is specifically designed for the Kalorik Maxx Grill. It rests on top of the lower heating elements (and has cutouts on the bottom for them) and also rests on a temperature probe that it also has a cutout for.
The best review, thank you! 👏🏼👍🏽 now you have had this Kalorik for several months, comparing withe the older version which is your opinion? Which is better?
Thank you so much! I definitely prefer the grill version over the original. I used the grill feature quite a bit. There are some other minor changes done with the firmware of the device that also makes it better including longer cook times and wider range of temperatures in some of the modes.
I had the Maxx air fryer worked great for four months then wouldn't power on anymore. I got the insurance and got back my original purchase price less the cost of the insurance. Is this one more durable, I would hate to get this one and again be disappointed.
That is unfortunate that you had a bad experience with the original Maxx. I have not had one issue with the original device in addition to this grill device. There are folks that have had both devices and have experienced issues. That being the case it is difficult for me to give you an answer to that question since I have not experienced any issues.
Is your oven still working.... My first oven grill lasted 2 weeks and then it stopped working... they sent me another one as it was still on warranty and this one only lasted 2 days and then it stopped working also.... so I`m wondering what could cause this .... is it a short with the plug or something....there customer service said I can`t talk to a technician pf which I was not to happy....I want my oven to work .... let me know if this has ever happened to anyone.
Mine is still working excellent. There are reports of people that have had their devices stop working. Usually it's because the thermal fuse inside blows. This usually happens if there is not adequate ventilation. Make sure to have at least 4 in of space on both sides and the top. Also make sure it's not slid into a hutch or anything like that. I would make sure there is at least six to eight inches clearance on the rear side. Those are the only things I can think about in regards to this issue.
Hey quick question I just tried out the grill for chicken and followed the steps in the recipe book but I see so much smoke coming out did u experience this by any chance
I have never used anything in the recipe book. I think the temperatures are much too hot. I don't even think I have the cookbook anymore. What temperature did it have you cook the chicken at? The smoke point for chicken fat is 375°. I usually cook my chicken anywhere between 350 to 360°. If you were cooking the chicken anywhere from 375 and upward then it is going to create smoke.
It might be a great oven but I’ll never know. First unit arrived with a defective door and the replacement arrived with a huge dent, (both out of the box that way) and since they already replaced it once, between the retailer and manufacturer I’m caught in an endless loop of finger pointing and “not our policy”🤷🏽♀️. Hopefully it resolves but that’s an expensive appliance to just have no one take responsibility.
You are very welcome to Teresa. The bake function works pretty decent. I have tested it with cookies and cake and they came out great. With the previous version of the Maxx I made a loaf of bread once and it came out great. They're literally is no difference between the previous version and the new grill version as far as the bake mode is concerned. The only thing you have to keep in mind which is true with some ovens is that the back tends to get done a little quicker than the front so rotating whatever you are baking might be necessary.
Hey Andy, quick question, when you are using the air fry mode and you select the min and time you want but when you start the air fryer do you see the temperature of the internal slowly rising to your degrees selected? Mine only shows the degrees i selected and doesn’t rise up like you mentioned in your videos. Thanks
When using your frame mode you won't see the temperature counting as it rises. That only works during Grill mode. However you can tell when it's up to temperature in air fry mode when the air fry text stops blinking. Depending on the temperature you have said that could take anywhere from 3:00 to 11 minutes.
I recommend wiping down the inside after each and everything that's been cooked. Otherwise there is a chance of crying being built up on the walls that is very difficult to get rid of.
It doesn't seem possible to take out the bottom tray under the grill elements to clean. There is mention of a "crumb tray" but I can't see where that is. Without being able to take out the bottom tray for cleaning fat and grunge builds up quickly and can cause flare ups. It look like its a real chore to keep the base clean and avoid lots of smoke!
At around the 1 minute 30 mark in this video I show the crumb tray. If you did not receive that then you would be dripping stuff onto the bottom of the device and that would not be good at all. If you are missing that item I recommend contacting the manufacturer at Kalorik.com.
@@TheFoodExperience Thanks for the quick response it seems that the reason for the falures people are not following the directions to make sure they have proper clearance all round and on top with that the unit will overheat then in-line fuse will pop which needs to be replaced the repaire looks pretty simple to do.
@@MrDonXX you are very welcome. I truly believe that a lot of devices failed because of improper ventilation. I have heard of an inline thermal fuse going out on people. I don't think it's exactly the norm though. I'm one of the moderators in a large Kalorik Maxx Air Fryer Oven group. We have seen a bunch of people experience that problem and some people experience it more than others and multiple times which leads me to believe it has something to do with the environment and or ventilation. That being said there are definitely thousands of users who have never had a problem with theirs. If you decide to get one I really hope it works out well for you. This is one device that I thoroughly enjoy using.
I also have the original version and I like the new grill version better for a couple of reasons. Biggest reason is the grill grate. Second to that they allow a lot more time to be able to be set for the functions and a wider range of temperature allowed with the dehydrator.
I believe the model number is AFO 51041 SS but honestly I'm not at home right now. There is only one version of the Maxx Grill at the moment though there are rumors of a second revision soon to be released.
Hey- Love my klorik maxx 26- however at 1yr 3mos it died. Just no power at all- I was so bummed- however I’m happy to report- I originally purchased it from Kalorik thru AMAZON - I went back to my order on Amazon- emailed the seller they got back to me within an hour- they had mean send a pic of the oven- showing plugged in with no power and then another pic of the model info on the back- I sent that in- they got back to me again within an hour- told me I’m approved for replacement- then instead of sending it back- they have u cut the cord show it in a pic- send that- and within 5 days my new oven was delivered. The best customer service I’ve had from any company in a long time. I don’t know about you, but my experience with customer service with any company these days is they don’t care, however, Kalorik is different and I appreciated their integrity and quick fix..
@@TheFoodExperience when they start an email with “we are not under obligation to honor warranties from purchases prior to our takeover “ you kinda know it’s not gonna be good, even though my purchase was in the last couple of weeks. Bummed out. it looks like SUCH a cool product - I might still try operating mine even with the huge dent and see.
@@believeandseeranch ouch! That does not sound good at all. I see that it was taken over by the legacy companies. At least that's the name that showing up when I try to research it. When I go to their website though it doesn't mention not honoring previous company warranties. I don't doubt you though that's for sure.
Just got one of these, and am doing burn off. Is it normal to smell the way it does. I feel like it may have given me a headache. Is it safe to use. I love your videos BTW 😀
Hi Jenn, thank you so much for the kind thoughts. It definitely is normal to have an odd smell during the burn off. It is the manufacturing oils that you are smelling. It should not make any smells the next time you operate the device.
I bought the Kalorik Air Fryer like this one yesterday. When I try to air fry something, the spiral heating component doesn't light up, but the two bars beside it light up instead. It does air fry my food fortunately. I don't know if I bought a defective one and have to change it.
Hey Andy, interested in purchasing .Can u list model# so I don't get an older version. I like the upgrades Kaloric has done. Your vid sold me on this Oven
I had the original oven and love it. Traded for this grill model and loved it even more. Last week i had to put it in garbage. It stopped working. Think it blew an internal fuse that we cant get here, plus you have to sodder it in. So very disappointed. Just bought the original one again.
I'm sorry you have that type of issue. I'm guessing it wasn't under warranty since you put it in the garbage. Their warranty services pretty good from what I understand.
@@ladydebrawelland1538 they definitely have a 1-year warranty. As long as the person who gifted it would be able to provide proof of purchase otherwise I suppose trashing it would be the only other option. The fuses are widely available on Amazon from what I understand. I actually haven't ran into that problem. Mine's been going about a year and a half now.
I noticed you left the same comment on this review of the Maxx Grill in addition to my review of the regular version of the Maxx. Not sure which version you have. If you have the grill version there are four heating elements on the bottom in comparison to the original version which only has two. Either case if you put it into oven / bake mode then the furthest back lower heating element should be on. The only time the lower heating elements are not used is during air fry modes.
I have owned one of these for two weeks and it has already failed. While it was working, it got ridiculously hot on the outside and tends to overcook in the back. Now it will not power up anymore, and yes, I checked to verify power was available
It definitely runs pretty warm on the outside. After all it is in oven, a countertop oven. It will only overcook the things in the back if you have them all the way against the back wall. In such cases you need to rotate the food halfway through cooking. Not sure why it went out on you. Ventilation is very important with these devices. You need to make sure to have at least 4 in of clearance on the sides, top and maybe a few inches more from the back.
Hi there! First off, thanks so much for all your cool tutorials!! . I bought this oven recently. But I seem to experience quite a lot of smoke when I cook anything pretty much. Do you experience this too? It's super clean inside so no grease residue or anything like that. It always trips my smoke detector because of the smoke. It's not burning smoke like the oven is bad or anything like that. Pretty much smoke from cooking.
Thank you very much for tuning in and the kind comment. I usually don't get much smoke from anything that I cook. The only exception is when I'm using the grill grate. Even then it's not really much at all and most of it stays in the oven. It could be due to the temperature that you are cooking things at but I'm not certain. I tend to stay at lower temperatures lesser than 400° for most things that I cook.
Okay, I just received my new Kalorik Maxx and I was a little concerned because after the burn I went to open the doors and burned my hand because the entire machine was very HOT! Was that supposed to happen? Anyway, moved on to trying it out by cooking a rotisserie chicken but the chicken was too big so I’m just air frying it…I’ll update you when it’s done. Oh! One more thing I noticed, it looks big on your show and other areas of advertising but when I unboxed it and put it on my counter it looks very small…not a deal breaker.
It definitely does get hot after the burn in at 500°. Definitely don't touch the doors or the sides of the device when it's in operation or even shortly thereafter. It is a countertop oven so it's going to run hot. I have three air fryer ovens from different manufacturers and they're all like that. You're definitely brave for trying a full chicken for your first cooking adventure. I have not tried to rotisserie a full chicken or even cook a full chicken yet. I'm not sure what to say about the size. I'm definitely not a promoter or advertiser for their product. I just have passion and reviewing kitchen accessories and truly believe in this device.
Great demo Andy! I recently got the Kalorik Grill. A question....When I do Grill function and Broil function (which is in the Oven mode), the stronger fan aka air fryer fan turns on, instead of just the weaker “oven” fan. All other functions, except Grill and Broil, that are in Oven mode, the stronger fan does not run, just the softer sounding fan. Does yours have the air fryer fan going during Grill and Broil? Just thought all Oven mode presets would be with the softer sounding fan...Thanks for demo!
Thank you very much Karen! I think the only function in oven mode that uses the air fry fan is Grill mode although I could be mistaken and need to check it when I get home tonight. You could tell because the functions that use the air fry fan we'll have a fan symbol on the left of the display when it's in operation. The softer fan is only used for helping the oven ventilate.
We have our new Kalorik Maxx Air-Fryer/Oven coming in this Monday, Dec. 17, 2022. Excited! Thanks to Andy’s video and recipes we decided to upgrade to the newer model. Our biggest gripe with the older model is that after a year of use & cleaning, all the numbers/letters are gone. Poor quality in that regard.
@@sdb1147 thank you so very much for the kind thoughts. It definitely was a bummer regarding the letters rubbing off with the original device. You definitely won't have that issue with the new grill version. Hope you enjoy it to the Maxx!
I have not experienced any issues with the original grill version in addition to the second one. The original was purchased about 11 months ago. I have had the current Maxx Grill for about 8 months.
@@chumpacena You are very welcome and thank you for the kind thoughts. There does seem to be a small percentage of people who are experiencing issues with the product. I think it is in regards to the power at their location(s). Wish I could elaborate but I am not sure why it is happening. All i know is that I have had 2 of these grill models and not a issue with either.
The gap between the doors is totally normal and not a lot of heat escapes. I have done temperature checks with a temperature probe on the original version which has the same design and there is no detectable heat loss.
@@TheFoodExperience thanks, I’ve watched way to many videos on this and some have cracks and some don’t but we just ordered one so it wasn’t a deal breaker.thanks for the info and the steaks.lol
@@donpayne562 they all have cracks in between the doors. I don't have the information on me but Kalorik acknowledged that it was a necessity for it to be there. I hope you enjoy yours once you receive it.
New sub here. Another great video. In your opinion, do you prefer the new version of this air fryer or the original version? Also any size difference in dimensions? Thanks in advance!
Thank you so much! Honestly I prefer the new grill version. Almost everything about both devices are cosmetically identical including the size of the cavity inside of both devices. There are some minor technical differences such as allowing longer cook times and wider range of temperature settings on various functions the new grill version.
@@UA-cam-Troll cool, if you have any further questions please let me know. I will be putting out a new review of the grill very shortly. Kalorik sent me an updated version for review purposes.
@@TheFoodExperience Can you briefly tell me what’s the good and bad for the original version vs the new grill version? After watching both your videos, you made it very convincing for me to get one but just not sure the original or the new version. I was able to find the original version at much lower cost almost half the cost of the new grill version.
Great video, thanks for the review, i just purchased it great price drop and jumped right on it and looking forward for some great cooking tips from ya.
That is a bummer for sure. I had two of these one of which I gifted to a co-worker who uses it all the time. There is not been a problem with either of them. Sorry to hear you did not have a good experience with the grill version.
You can also email Kalorik at helpme@kalorik.com. I tested their email a couple weeks ago and it generally will take for business days to receive a response due to an influx of requests during the holiday season.
The start/stop function killssssss me!!!! I stop it more than start it. I’m going to try the thumb! I love this thing!!!! I’ve tried almost all functions aside from dehydrate, which is next as soon as I do a little more research and recipes!
They are touchy buttons for sure. I hope it works with using your thumb. I have not tried dehydrate with this version however I did with the previous Maxx and it worked well.
Andy. You were so precise about everything that my husband and I have subscribed to you for this brand new Kalorik Maxx Air Fryer Grill Oven. I love barbecued food but its getting to the point where my spouse gives it up in the winter. I just finished doing the Burn-In and did notice that the 20 minutes was for preheat on grill. Now when I really put a wonderful piece of steak on, do I have to wait for 20min while it pre-heats and then set it again for the time and temp I want? And also, how long should it be seared on each side at 500F.? When I get to know the oven I'll probably kick myself for asking. But, at this point I only know what you said in the tutorial. SO MUCH HELP THANK YOU BARBARA
Hi Barbara, thank you so much for the kind thoughts and I appreciate you both subscribing to my channel. I haven't timed it yet but it should only take about 10 minutes for the preheat to 500° in Grill mode. I'll have to time it someday. Also if you set the time a lot higher than what you need you won't have to worry about it turning off on you prematurely. A lot of the times I set the time higher and I use my cell phone to gauge the time or set a stopwatch on my cell phone. Depending on the doneness you would like the steak cooked and how thick of a cut the steak is will determine on how long to cook it for on each side. For a 1-in cut I would go about four and a half minutes each side and then check it with a probe to see if it's at the doneness you desire. When cooking steak I always use an in oven temperature probe. That way I could monitor it along the way. So I'm kind of guessing at the times that I mentioned. I did put out a steak video that you'll see in my list of videos. When you have a second check that one out.
I wanted to make it easy and thought I would give you a direct link to the video I was talking about. Hope that helps. ua-cam.com/video/j3COPg6TPbw/v-deo.html
Hi Andy. I have watched a few of your videos. I have this oven that I purchased in Late April from the Kalorik website. I wondered why I had to hit the start button 3-4 times before it would start. I contacted Kalorik & they sent me another oven. How do you tell which oven production you have? Well about a week after I got it, it died while I was using the rotisserie with popcorn in it.( I watched your video on that & I ordered the basket from Kalorik) Best tasting popcorn by the way. So yes I’m on the third oven. So far so good. I’m keeping my fingers crossed! I do love the grill plate & the rotisserie. When using the rotisserie the chicken was hitting the heating elements on the bottom middle. I had to watch another video from kalorik on how to tie up the chicken. I had to watch their video a bunch of times because they did it so fast. I had to tie it up so tight. The 2 chickens I purchased from Sam’s club were 10 lbs combined. Would you please do a rotisserie chicken & please share what size chicken you used? The chicken came out very juicy inside & crispy outside. Thank you so much!
Hi Suzanne, thank you so much for watching my videos. Sorry that you have been experiencing issues with your Maxx Grill. Hopefully the one you received recently will last. In regards to the latest revision you can only tell by the shipping carton and the Box inside the shipping carton. Looking at the device there's nothing distinguishable. The latest revision will have SS2 after the model number on the shipping carton or product box. I've actually never rotisserie the whole chicken before. That is something I've wanted to do but a little bit timid to try it. I know you definitely have to tie it up very tight from what I have heard. I'm going to be moving on August 1st. Moving into my dad's condo which has a very nice kitchen. He is 94 years old and wants me to be around him in addition I would love to be around him. I'll definitely try to schedule that very soon after I move. I do love a good rotisserie chicken. Glad that the popcorn worked out well for you. In regards to the devices quitting on you it's because of a thermal fuse. I'm just not sure why it keeps happening to some people and others don't have an issue at all. It really is so bizarre. Thanks again for your support and for your comment.
@@TheFoodExperience Thank you for replying. I already threw the box out, so there’s no way of telling which one I have now. I’m glad you are moving with your dad. We moved in with my dad & then he moved int with us. He has since passed, but I am grateful for the time we had together. He was 83 last year when he passed. Enjoy every second together. I will be looking for more of your videos. Thank you again.
@@luvallrkds1 I'm hoping the new device gives you lots of long lasting cooking experiences. Sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. That's definitely why I want to spend more time with mine. Since he is 94 years old he doesn't have a lot of time left and I want to be there for him. I should have a new video up this weekend at the new place. Thank you so much for being a part of my channel and for your comments.
Thanks so much Andy. I’ll look forward to your grill video. I’m nervous about grilling. The grate sits on top of the burners and I’m worried about dripping and a possible fire. Have not used it yet. I’ll wait for you. 😉
You are very welcome Jane. The steaks come out so good on the grill. I've already cooked two of them and very happy with the results. There is no way for grease to drip on top of the burners. The grill grate has cutouts for the burners to fit into so that they are protected.
Great review, notice how the revised oven has door insulation strips that go all the way down the sides, the older model stopped half way. I’ve been trying to find this insulation material/tape to cover more of the door of my older model.
Thank you so much for tuning in and the kind thoughts. That is a very good observation for sure. Something I totally missed. I'm not sure what material the insulation is. I'm thinking perhaps silicone but a lot of silicone can't handle heat over 450°. Could be a hybrid material of some kind. I hope you're able to find something that insulates the original model more.
Loved my Kalorik Air Fryer until I had it on 500 degree steak setting for 20 minutes and it fried the control board. I just had it 3 months. I'm back to a power xl
That is very unfortunate for sure. My original device I've had since the first week of February and used it on the daily without issue. Unfortunately there can be defective units as there is with any product on the market.
Hi Andy. Hope your move went well & you & your dad is doing good. Well it happened again. I’m getting my 4th maxx oven grill. It died while air frying some chicken. I asked for a refund & was told they could give me a credit to use on their website. I choose my 4th unit. I had a nuwave oven for over 10 years with only 1 problem with the plastic dome. I ordered a new improved dome & not a problem for years. The only problem using was the hassle of lifting the dome everytime you need to use it & it’s metal stand for the dome is a hassle. Say a prayer the 4th one is the last one & will last a long time. God bless!
Hi Suzanne, the move definitely went well and my dad is loving all the fresh cooked stuff I make for him. He was eating a lot of Frozen stuff which is definitely not the best. I'm so sorry to hear that your fourth Grill went out on you. I'm really wondering what the problem could be. I don't really like to point fingers but I do like to find solutions. I have two of these devices one at work and one at home and haven't experienced the problem with either of them. Not sure if it's an electrical related issue or environmental issue or just bad luck at The pick of a draw. I really wish you the best success with the next device. I feel so bad that this is happening to you repeatedly.
Hi ! Glad to hear that your dad is eating better. I live in Port Saint Lucie Florida. The air is on at 74 degrees. My outlets work fine. I have a toaster & can opener that goes to the same outlet & works when I plug it in. So thank you !
@@luvallrkds1 in regards to the electrical circuit this device draws a lot of amperage. 15 amp circuit is minimum required. 20 amp circuit is definitely preferred. Not sure if that is a concern on your end but it is something I wanted to mention. I really want this next unit to be a keeper for you. Sending good vibes your way.
Hi Andy just got my 4th Maxx Grill Delux yesterday. Praying that I don’t have another shut down. I was trying to find the comment where you had said about how to tell if you have the older or newer version by the model # on the outer box that the max is shipped in. I could not find it. I want to see if Kalorik is shipping me a newer or older version. As to the amp… I don’t know. My home is about 6 1/2 years old & I am using the kitchen outlet. Thank you again Andy. How is your dad doing? I miss mine so much. Cherish each moment you get with him.
@@luvallrkds1 hi Suzanne, thanks for reporting back in. You could tell by the model number on the shipping carton if it ends with SS2 then it is the newest revision. It won't say it on the product itself. I really hope this one is the winning device for you. I love mine so much and I hate to see people having such issues. Sounds like you do have a newer home and I'm sure it probably is able to handle it. I will say this though after moving to my dad's I noticed I can't go in oven mode over 400 degrees without it shutting off if I'm operating the stove at the same time. That means that the amperage supplied by the outlet is not able to handle it. I'm definitely enjoying life with my dad and I know it was the right move. Who knows how long he will be around and I definitely want to be there for him. Trying to convince him to be in one of my outros. Maybe this weekend he will. I know it must be rough losing your dad. Sending blessings and good energy your way.
I have had a Kalorik for over a year. Crappy made (it leaks in the corners, the fake chrome on/off button peeled, the interior walls are cheap metal and hard to clean, using the heavy metal tray as a drip pan means it will take a lot longer to come to temperature...), after months of drawn out series of emails, they finally replaced it, but I am going to sell it as new- unopened box and getting Emeril LaGasse French Door
I have had mine original version well over a year as well. I have never had leaking in the corners like you are describing. I don't have any heating issues when using the drip pan either. The text coming off from below the buttons is a known issue and really not a big deal to me. I have a few different air fryer ovens and they are all made with the same type of metal for the interior. Good luck on your Emeril device.
We own last year’s model and we’re quite happy with the unit, except for one reason. The painted on letters have come off. The newest model has an LCD screen which should eliminate the problem. We also like the heat probe which should give a more accurate temperature reading. Another plus is the charcoal air filter on the back of the unit. We’re retired and have never used the oven in our apartment. Instead, we only use our Kalorik air-fryer/oven & an induction cook top. We appreciate your videos (subscribers) and the detailed information you offer. Thanks.
The new drill model definitely eliminates the problem with letters rubbing off. That was definitely quite a problem with the original device. I don't have an oven in my place because there are no built-in appliances however if I did I am pretty sure I would be just like you and never use it, and instead only use the Maxx. Thank you so much for the kind thoughts and I really appreciate you guys watching my channel.
Per Amazon delivery service, our new Kalorik (2022?) is to arrive on Monday, January 17, 2022. So excited. We really like the blacked out screen with digital info/controls. Giving our old Kalorik to our daughter.
I would add another con to your list. Using the crumb tray under the grill. When I cooked steak on it the drips went on the crumb tray and stained it. I couldn't get rid of them whether using the Dawn spray or anything else. I understand it's not dishwasher safe so won't be doing that. Otherwise I'm very happy with it.
Thank you for letting me know about this. I've cooked a few steaks so far and fortunately that has not happened to me. I will definitely keep that in mind and keep an eye on it.
It might be a great oven but I’ll never know. First unit arrived with a defective door and the replacement arrived with a huge dent, (both out of the box that way) and since they already replaced it once, between the retailer and manufacturer I’m caught in an endless loop of finger pointing and “not our policy”🤷🏽♀️. Hopefully it resolves but that’s an expensive appliance to just have no one take responsibility.

Thank you very much have a blessed day!
Im going to be buying this amazing Air fryer, oven n Smokless Grill new one 26qt.. thankyou so very much for your video help with my decision, as im moving into my dream a Tiny house, and ever space counts ( love the different functions, ❤️ Thankyou
I hope you thoroughly enjoy the new device. As much as I have been enjoying mine. I totally like those tiny houses. Would love to get one someday.
What a great video! Ive been shopping around online and doing my research on multi function air fryer ovens. I keep coming back to this one. I really like its capacity and its temperature range. I also like all the accessories it comes with.
I'm probably going to buy it. Found a cyber Monday deal for $139 at Walmart.👍🏼
I do have a question about it though.
Do you happen to know what the different numbers mean that come after the manufacturers name i.e. 47270, and a bunch of other ones?
Thanks for the the great video. I look forward to watching your other ones.😁
Thank you so very much for the kind thoughts. I really love this device. For $139 that is the steal of a deal. I'm not sure what the numbers signify. I think they are different depending on what store it's being sold at and what accessories it comes with. Sometimes they are sold it a lesser price with lesser accessories so just make sure you know what it comes with before purchasing it. Appreciate you tuning in. 😊
Thanks for the simple lesson!
Does this bake potatoes well or.....?? What about toast bread or pizzas? Thks
It definitely does bake potatoes very efficiently. Toast is okay but you may want to still use your toaster. For pizza it works great. I recently put out a pizza video if you look at my list of videos. Of course for pizza you definitely want to bake and not air fry with this device otherwise the crust won't get heat from the bottom.
Ugh forgot to ask the real question. The DOORS are they always as hot as they got when I did the burn off I almost burned my fingers touching the doors. Thank you.
You should never touch the doors directly after heating up the oven. You should only use the handles. The handles will be very warm to the touch but not hot by any means. Not to the point where they will burn you.
@@TheFoodExperience thank you. Just a good warning to keep my granddaughter away from it too.
How many steaks can u cook at a time and still get great results
I have cooked 2 steaks at a time but I imagine 4 would probably be the max.
Will the grill plate fit into the emeril 360 air fryer grill? I would like it better
I don't think that would work. The grill grate is specifically designed for the Kalorik Maxx Grill. It rests on top of the lower heating elements (and has cutouts on the bottom for them) and also rests on a temperature probe that it also has a cutout for.
The best review, thank you! 👏🏼👍🏽 now you have had this Kalorik for several months, comparing withe the older version which is your opinion? Which is better?
Thank you so much! I definitely prefer the grill version over the original. I used the grill feature quite a bit. There are some other minor changes done with the firmware of the device that also makes it better including longer cook times and wider range of temperatures in some of the modes.
I had the Maxx air fryer worked great for four months then wouldn't power on anymore. I got the insurance and got back my original purchase price less the cost of the insurance. Is this one more durable, I would hate to get this one and again be disappointed.
That is unfortunate that you had a bad experience with the original Maxx. I have not had one issue with the original device in addition to this grill device. There are folks that have had both devices and have experienced issues. That being the case it is difficult for me to give you an answer to that question since I have not experienced any issues.
@@TheFoodExperience thanks for answering my question. I like the grill function
@@madelinewhite7874 You are very welcome. I love the grill function. It works really well.
There is a gap between the doors. Is there any air released between the doors?
The Gap is perfectly normal. I really don't detect any temperature loss at the front.
@@TheFoodExperience Thanks and God bless.
Is your oven still working.... My first oven grill lasted 2 weeks and then it stopped working... they sent me another one as it was still on warranty and this one only lasted 2 days and then it stopped working also.... so I`m wondering what could cause this .... is it a short with the plug or something....there customer service said I can`t talk to a technician pf which I was not to happy....I want my oven to work .... let me know if this has ever happened to anyone.
Mine is still working excellent. There are reports of people that have had their devices stop working. Usually it's because the thermal fuse inside blows. This usually happens if there is not adequate ventilation. Make sure to have at least 4 in of space on both sides and the top. Also make sure it's not slid into a hutch or anything like that. I would make sure there is at least six to eight inches clearance on the rear side. Those are the only things I can think about in regards to this issue.
Hey quick question I just tried out the grill for chicken and followed the steps in the recipe book but I see so much smoke coming out did u experience this by any chance
I have never used anything in the recipe book. I think the temperatures are much too hot. I don't even think I have the cookbook anymore. What temperature did it have you cook the chicken at? The smoke point for chicken fat is 375°. I usually cook my chicken anywhere between 350 to 360°. If you were cooking the chicken anywhere from 375 and upward then it is going to create smoke.
Hey by any chance is one of ur doors moving up and down
I'm not in front of it right now but I believe the right door does move up and down slightly. It's completely normal from what I understand.
It might be a great oven but I’ll never know. First unit arrived with a defective door and the replacement arrived with a huge dent, (both out of the box that way) and since they already replaced it once, between the retailer and manufacturer I’m caught in an endless loop of finger pointing and “not our policy”🤷🏽♀️.
Hopefully it resolves but that’s an expensive appliance to just have no one take responsibility.
Thank you for sharing your review. I want to know how well the bake function is as I bake bread and cake/cookies a lot. Thx.
You are very welcome to Teresa. The bake function works pretty decent. I have tested it with cookies and cake and they came out great. With the previous version of the Maxx I made a loaf of bread once and it came out great. They're literally is no difference between the previous version and the new grill version as far as the bake mode is concerned. The only thing you have to keep in mind which is true with some ovens is that the back tends to get done a little quicker than the front so rotating whatever you are baking might be necessary.
@@TheFoodExperience that’s great! Thank you for your quick response 👍🏼👍🏼
@@teresatsang5 you are very welcome
Hey Andy, quick question, when you are using the air fry mode and you select the min and time you want but when you start the air fryer do you see the temperature of the internal slowly rising to your degrees selected? Mine only shows the degrees i selected and doesn’t rise up like you mentioned in your videos. Thanks
When using your frame mode you won't see the temperature counting as it rises. That only works during Grill mode. However you can tell when it's up to temperature in air fry mode when the air fry text stops blinking. Depending on the temperature you have said that could take anywhere from 3:00 to 11 minutes.
@@TheFoodExperience thanks Andy appreciate the info…
How is it for cleaning? Wondering if food or splatters will get baked into the walls.
I recommend wiping down the inside after each and everything that's been cooked. Otherwise there is a chance of crying being built up on the walls that is very difficult to get rid of.
What is the difference between the grill models
I was not aware of there being different grill models.
how come the led is flickering
It actually is not flickering it is a frequency difference between the camera lens and light on the oven. It's actually very solid and bright.
It doesn't seem possible to take out the bottom tray under the grill elements to clean. There is mention of a "crumb tray" but I can't see where that is. Without being able to take out the bottom tray for cleaning fat and grunge builds up quickly and can cause flare ups. It look like its a real chore to keep the base clean and avoid lots of smoke!
At around the 1 minute 30 mark in this video I show the crumb tray. If you did not receive that then you would be dripping stuff onto the bottom of the device and that would not be good at all. If you are missing that item I recommend contacting the manufacturer at Kalorik.com.
@@TheFoodExperience OK I see now how this works, sorry it was in the vid, I just missed it. Thanks for the quick reply.
@@josephokelly3841 No worries, it's easy to miss things when watching videos. Glad I was able to help.
I have been looking at review on this and I do seem to see the unit fails within two month or so has anyone experienced this? Thank you for your time
I have had this device for well over a year and use it at least once if not a couple times a week. No failure here.
@@TheFoodExperience Thanks for the quick response it seems that the reason for the falures people are not following the directions to make sure they have proper clearance all round and on top with that the unit will overheat then in-line fuse will pop which needs to be replaced the repaire looks pretty simple to do.
@@MrDonXX you are very welcome. I truly believe that a lot of devices failed because of improper ventilation. I have heard of an inline thermal fuse going out on people. I don't think it's exactly the norm though. I'm one of the moderators in a large Kalorik Maxx Air Fryer Oven group. We have seen a bunch of people experience that problem and some people experience it more than others and multiple times which leads me to believe it has something to do with the environment and or ventilation. That being said there are definitely thousands of users who have never had a problem with theirs. If you decide to get one I really hope it works out well for you. This is one device that I thoroughly enjoy using.
So just bout the max today and didn’t notice the newer version, I’m wondering if there big difference and if I should return and get the newer version
I also have the original version and I like the new grill version better for a couple of reasons. Biggest reason is the grill grate. Second to that they allow a lot more time to be able to be set for the functions and a wider range of temperature allowed with the dehydrator.
@@TheFoodExperience thank you know I’m wondering if I should return for the new one
Hi, I noticed there is a rotisserie kit and a dehydrator kit on the website. Wondering if they're for this Maxx 26 quart air fryer?
Yes those are for the Maxx 26 quart and the grill models.
Thank you for this video it was a big help
Can I request Model Number for the Maxx you own please?
I believe the model number is AFO 51041 SS but honestly I'm not at home right now. There is only one version of the Maxx Grill at the moment though there are rumors of a second revision soon to be released.
Hey- Love my klorik maxx 26- however at 1yr 3mos it died. Just no power at all- I was so bummed- however I’m happy to report- I originally purchased it from Kalorik thru AMAZON - I went back to my order on Amazon- emailed the seller they got back to me within an hour- they had mean send a pic of the oven- showing plugged in with no power and then another pic of the model info on the back- I sent that in- they got back to me again within an hour- told me I’m approved for replacement- then instead of sending it back- they have u cut the cord show it in a pic- send that- and within 5 days my new oven was delivered. The best customer service I’ve had from any company in a long time. I don’t know about you, but my experience with customer service with any company these days is they don’t care, however, Kalorik is different and I appreciated their integrity and quick fix..
Unfortunately the company was sold in January and their customer service is NOT the same. It’s awful.
@believeandseeranch I heard that from someone else as well. That is very unfortunate.
@@TheFoodExperience when they start an email with “we are not under obligation to honor warranties from purchases prior to our takeover “ you kinda know it’s not gonna be good, even though my purchase was in the last couple of weeks. Bummed out. it looks like SUCH a cool product - I might still try operating mine even with the huge dent and see.
@@believeandseeranch ouch! That does not sound good at all. I see that it was taken over by the legacy companies. At least that's the name that showing up when I try to research it. When I go to their website though it doesn't mention not honoring previous company warranties. I don't doubt you though that's for sure.
Just got one of these, and am doing burn off. Is it normal to smell the way it does. I feel like it may have given me a headache. Is it safe to use.
I love your videos BTW 😀
Hi Jenn, thank you so much for the kind thoughts. It definitely is normal to have an odd smell during the burn off. It is the manufacturing oils that you are smelling. It should not make any smells the next time you operate the device.
I bought the Kalorik Air Fryer like this one yesterday. When I try to air fry something, the spiral heating component doesn't light up, but the two bars beside it light up instead. It does air fry my food fortunately. I don't know if I bought a defective one and have to change it.
That is perfectly normal.
Hey Andy, interested in purchasing .Can u list model# so I don't get an older version. I like the upgrades Kaloric has done. Your vid sold me on this Oven
Thank you best detailed reviewing yet
You are very welcome and thank you so very much for watching my video.
I had the original oven and love it. Traded for this grill model and loved it even more. Last week i had to put it in garbage. It stopped working. Think it blew an internal fuse that we cant get here, plus you have to sodder it in. So very disappointed. Just bought the original one again.
I'm sorry you have that type of issue. I'm guessing it wasn't under warranty since you put it in the garbage. Their warranty services pretty good from what I understand.
@@TheFoodExperience I actually never even thought of a warranty. I had it for 8 months and it was a gift
@@ladydebrawelland1538 they definitely have a 1-year warranty. As long as the person who gifted it would be able to provide proof of purchase otherwise I suppose trashing it would be the only other option. The fuses are widely available on Amazon from what I understand. I actually haven't ran into that problem. Mine's been going about a year and a half now.
I just bought one. Not sure if the bottom back element is working.
Anyone know what setting activates both bottom elements??
Thanks.
Mark
I noticed you left the same comment on this review of the Maxx Grill in addition to my review of the regular version of the Maxx. Not sure which version you have. If you have the grill version there are four heating elements on the bottom in comparison to the original version which only has two. Either case if you put it into oven / bake mode then the furthest back lower heating element should be on. The only time the lower heating elements are not used is during air fry modes.
excellent and detailed review; thank you.
You are very welcome and thank you very much for your comment and for tuning in.
I have owned one of these for two weeks and it has already failed. While it was working, it got ridiculously hot on the outside and tends to overcook in the back. Now it will not power up anymore, and yes, I checked to verify power was available
It definitely runs pretty warm on the outside. After all it is in oven, a countertop oven. It will only overcook the things in the back if you have them all the way against the back wall. In such cases you need to rotate the food halfway through cooking. Not sure why it went out on you. Ventilation is very important with these devices. You need to make sure to have at least 4 in of clearance on the sides, top and maybe a few inches more from the back.
Hi there! First off, thanks so much for all your cool tutorials!! . I bought this oven recently. But I seem to experience quite a lot of smoke when I cook anything pretty much. Do you experience this too? It's super clean inside so no grease residue or anything like that. It always trips my smoke detector because of the smoke. It's not burning smoke like the oven is bad or anything like that. Pretty much smoke from cooking.
Thank you very much for tuning in and the kind comment. I usually don't get much smoke from anything that I cook. The only exception is when I'm using the grill grate. Even then it's not really much at all and most of it stays in the oven. It could be due to the temperature that you are cooking things at but I'm not certain. I tend to stay at lower temperatures lesser than 400° for most things that I cook.
@@TheFoodExperience thank you so much! I'll try that!
Really love your videos. I'll stay tuned to learn more!
Peace!
I’m having issues starting it. It’s really hard
Thank you for your review. We just got one today and this is very helpful
You are very welcome. If you ever have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
Okay, I just received my new Kalorik Maxx and I was a little concerned because after the burn I went to open the doors and burned my hand because the entire machine was very HOT! Was that supposed to happen? Anyway, moved on to trying it out by cooking a rotisserie chicken but the chicken was too big so I’m just air frying it…I’ll update you when it’s done. Oh! One more thing I noticed, it looks big on your show and other areas of advertising but when I unboxed it and put it on my counter it looks very small…not a deal breaker.
It definitely does get hot after the burn in at 500°. Definitely don't touch the doors or the sides of the device when it's in operation or even shortly thereafter. It is a countertop oven so it's going to run hot. I have three air fryer ovens from different manufacturers and they're all like that. You're definitely brave for trying a full chicken for your first cooking adventure. I have not tried to rotisserie a full chicken or even cook a full chicken yet. I'm not sure what to say about the size. I'm definitely not a promoter or advertiser for their product. I just have passion and reviewing kitchen accessories and truly believe in this device.
Honest review
DUDE! YOUR VIDEOS MADE ME A BELIEVER- I BOUGHT THE MAXX 🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤ THX YOU
Right on!! I hope you get lots of great cooks with your new Maxx Grill. Thanks so much for tuning in and your awesome comment.
Great demo Andy! I recently got the Kalorik Grill. A question....When I do Grill function and Broil function (which is in the Oven mode), the stronger fan aka air fryer fan turns on, instead of just the weaker “oven” fan. All other functions, except Grill and Broil, that are in Oven mode, the stronger fan does not run, just the softer sounding fan. Does yours have the air fryer fan going during Grill and Broil? Just thought all Oven mode presets would be with the softer sounding fan...Thanks for demo!
Thank you very much Karen! I think the only function in oven mode that uses the air fry fan is Grill mode although I could be mistaken and need to check it when I get home tonight. You could tell because the functions that use the air fry fan we'll have a fan symbol on the left of the display when it's in operation. The softer fan is only used for helping the oven ventilate.
We have our new Kalorik Maxx Air-Fryer/Oven coming in this Monday, Dec. 17, 2022. Excited! Thanks to Andy’s video and recipes we decided to upgrade to the newer model. Our biggest gripe with the older model is that after a year of use & cleaning, all the numbers/letters are gone. Poor quality in that regard.
@@sdb1147 thank you so very much for the kind thoughts. It definitely was a bummer regarding the letters rubbing off with the original device. You definitely won't have that issue with the new grill version. Hope you enjoy it to the Maxx!
by chance do you have an update on this oven? Im thinking of purchasing but reviews say the oven lasts 8 months
I have not experienced any issues with the original grill version in addition to the second one. The original was purchased about 11 months ago. I have had the current Maxx Grill for about 8 months.
@@TheFoodExperience awesome thank you for your reviews im in the market for a toaster oven but reviews keep throwing me off
@@chumpacena You are very welcome and thank you for the kind thoughts. There does seem to be a small percentage of people who are experiencing issues with the product. I think it is in regards to the power at their location(s). Wish I could elaborate but I am not sure why it is happening. All i know is that I have had 2 of these grill models and not a issue with either.
What do you with all the appliances you get ? I would run out of room to store it all ! :)
I have a fairly large walk-in closet. I don't get too many things though.
i did not get a rotisserie
You will definitely have to take that up with the manufacturer.
What about the crack in between the doors,doesn’t a lot of heat escape
The gap between the doors is totally normal and not a lot of heat escapes. I have done temperature checks with a temperature probe on the original version which has the same design and there is no detectable heat loss.
@@TheFoodExperience thanks, I’ve watched way to many videos on this and some have cracks and some don’t but we just ordered one so it wasn’t a deal breaker.thanks for the info and the steaks.lol
@@donpayne562 they all have cracks in between the doors. I don't have the information on me but Kalorik acknowledged that it was a necessity for it to be there. I hope you enjoy yours once you receive it.
New sub here. Another great video. In your opinion, do you prefer the new version of this air fryer or the original version? Also any size difference in dimensions? Thanks in advance!
Thank you so much! Honestly I prefer the new grill version. Almost everything about both devices are cosmetically identical including the size of the cavity inside of both devices. There are some minor technical differences such as allowing longer cook times and wider range of temperature settings on various functions the new grill version.
@@TheFoodExperience thanks for the reply. I’m considering to get one after watching your helpful review video🙂
@@UA-cam-Troll cool, if you have any further questions please let me know. I will be putting out a new review of the grill very shortly. Kalorik sent me an updated version for review purposes.
@@TheFoodExperience Can you briefly tell me what’s the good and bad for the original version vs the new grill version? After watching both your videos, you made it very convincing for me to get one but just not sure the original or the new version. I was able to find the original version at much lower cost almost half the cost of the new grill version.
Great video, thanks for the review, i just purchased it great price drop and jumped right on it and looking forward for some great cooking tips from ya.
Thank you very much Mike! I hope you get some great use out of it. Hopefully my videos will help you out.
I had 3 of these and they all broke, had to back to the old style
That is a bummer for sure. I had two of these one of which I gifted to a co-worker who uses it all the time. There is not been a problem with either of them. Sorry to hear you did not have a good experience with the grill version.
Anyone know what the E1 code means for this unit. Got the code straight out of the box and their website is no help.
kitchensnitches.com/air-fryer-error-code-e1-reasons-and-fixes/
You can also email Kalorik at helpme@kalorik.com. I tested their email a couple weeks ago and it generally will take for business days to receive a response due to an influx of requests during the holiday season.
Enjoyed the show. I am looking for an air fryer and definetly learned a lot!
Thank you so much for watching and your kind thoughts.
The start/stop function killssssss me!!!! I stop it more than start it. I’m going to try the thumb! I love this thing!!!! I’ve tried almost all functions aside from dehydrate, which is next as soon as I do a little more research and recipes!
They are touchy buttons for sure. I hope it works with using your thumb. I have not tried dehydrate with this version however I did with the previous Maxx and it worked well.
Andy. You were so precise about everything that my husband and I have subscribed to you for this brand new Kalorik Maxx Air Fryer Grill Oven. I love barbecued food but its getting to the point where my spouse gives it up in the winter. I just finished doing the Burn-In and did notice that the 20 minutes was for preheat on grill. Now when I really put a wonderful piece of steak on, do I have to wait for 20min while it pre-heats and then set it again for the time and temp I want? And also, how long should it be seared on each side at 500F.? When I get to know the oven I'll probably kick myself for asking. But, at this point I only know what you said in the tutorial. SO MUCH HELP THANK YOU BARBARA
Hi Barbara, thank you so much for the kind thoughts and I appreciate you both subscribing to my channel. I haven't timed it yet but it should only take about 10 minutes for the preheat to 500° in Grill mode. I'll have to time it someday. Also if you set the time a lot higher than what you need you won't have to worry about it turning off on you prematurely. A lot of the times I set the time higher and I use my cell phone to gauge the time or set a stopwatch on my cell phone. Depending on the doneness you would like the steak cooked and how thick of a cut the steak is will determine on how long to cook it for on each side. For a 1-in cut I would go about four and a half minutes each side and then check it with a probe to see if it's at the doneness you desire. When cooking steak I always use an in oven temperature probe. That way I could monitor it along the way. So I'm kind of guessing at the times that I mentioned. I did put out a steak video that you'll see in my list of videos. When you have a second check that one out.
I wanted to make it easy and thought I would give you a direct link to the video I was talking about. Hope that helps.

Hi Andy. I have watched a few of your videos. I have this oven that I purchased in Late April from the Kalorik website. I wondered why I had to hit the start button 3-4 times before it would start. I contacted Kalorik & they sent me another oven. How do you tell which oven production you have? Well about a week after I got it, it died while I was using the rotisserie with popcorn in it.( I watched your video on that & I ordered the basket from Kalorik) Best tasting popcorn by the way. So yes I’m on the third oven. So far so good. I’m keeping my fingers crossed! I do love the grill plate & the rotisserie. When using the rotisserie the chicken was hitting the heating elements on the bottom middle. I had to watch another video from kalorik on how to tie up the chicken. I had to watch their video a bunch of times because they did it so fast. I had to tie it up so tight. The 2 chickens I purchased from Sam’s club were 10 lbs combined. Would you please do a rotisserie chicken & please share what size chicken you used? The chicken came out very juicy inside & crispy outside. Thank you so much!
Hi Suzanne, thank you so much for watching my videos. Sorry that you have been experiencing issues with your Maxx Grill. Hopefully the one you received recently will last. In regards to the latest revision you can only tell by the shipping carton and the Box inside the shipping carton. Looking at the device there's nothing distinguishable. The latest revision will have SS2 after the model number on the shipping carton or product box. I've actually never rotisserie the whole chicken before. That is something I've wanted to do but a little bit timid to try it. I know you definitely have to tie it up very tight from what I have heard. I'm going to be moving on August 1st. Moving into my dad's condo which has a very nice kitchen. He is 94 years old and wants me to be around him in addition I would love to be around him. I'll definitely try to schedule that very soon after I move. I do love a good rotisserie chicken. Glad that the popcorn worked out well for you. In regards to the devices quitting on you it's because of a thermal fuse. I'm just not sure why it keeps happening to some people and others don't have an issue at all. It really is so bizarre. Thanks again for your support and for your comment.
@@TheFoodExperience Thank you for replying. I already threw the box out, so there’s no way of telling which one I have now. I’m glad you are moving with your dad. We moved in with my dad & then he moved int with us. He has since passed, but I am grateful for the time we had together. He was 83 last year when he passed. Enjoy every second together. I will be looking for more of your videos. Thank you again.
@@luvallrkds1 I'm hoping the new device gives you lots of long lasting cooking experiences. Sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. That's definitely why I want to spend more time with mine. Since he is 94 years old he doesn't have a lot of time left and I want to be there for him. I should have a new video up this weekend at the new place. Thank you so much for being a part of my channel and for your comments.
Thanks so much Andy. I’ll look forward to your grill video. I’m nervous about grilling. The grate sits on top of the burners and I’m worried about dripping and a possible fire. Have not used it yet. I’ll wait for you. 😉
You are very welcome Jane. The steaks come out so good on the grill. I've already cooked two of them and very happy with the results. There is no way for grease to drip on top of the burners. The grill grate has cutouts for the burners to fit into so that they are protected.
@@TheFoodExperience thanks so much!!
Great review, notice how the revised oven has door insulation strips that go all the way down the sides, the older model stopped half way. I’ve been trying to find this insulation material/tape to cover more of the door of my older model.
Thank you so much for tuning in and the kind thoughts. That is a very good observation for sure. Something I totally missed. I'm not sure what material the insulation is. I'm thinking perhaps silicone but a lot of silicone can't handle heat over 450°. Could be a hybrid material of some kind. I hope you're able to find something that insulates the original model more.
This is really hard to turn on
What exactly do you mean? It should function exactly like it did for me in this video.
I had one that was hard to turn on. It is a defect. I sent my 1st one back.
Loved my Kalorik Air Fryer until I had it on 500 degree steak setting for 20 minutes and it fried the control board. I just had it 3 months. I'm back to a power xl
That is very unfortunate for sure. My original device I've had since the first week of February and used it on the daily without issue. Unfortunately there can be defective units as there is with any product on the market.
Hi Andy. Hope your move went well & you & your dad is doing good. Well it happened again. I’m getting my 4th maxx oven grill. It died while air frying some chicken. I asked for a refund & was told they could give me a credit to use on their website. I choose my 4th unit. I had a nuwave oven for over 10 years with only 1 problem with the plastic dome. I ordered a new improved dome & not a problem for years. The only problem using was the hassle of lifting the dome everytime you need to use it & it’s metal stand for the dome is a hassle. Say a prayer the 4th one is the last one & will last a long time. God bless!
Hi Suzanne, the move definitely went well and my dad is loving all the fresh cooked stuff I make for him. He was eating a lot of Frozen stuff which is definitely not the best. I'm so sorry to hear that your fourth Grill went out on you. I'm really wondering what the problem could be. I don't really like to point fingers but I do like to find solutions. I have two of these devices one at work and one at home and haven't experienced the problem with either of them. Not sure if it's an electrical related issue or environmental issue or just bad luck at The pick of a draw. I really wish you the best success with the next device. I feel so bad that this is happening to you repeatedly.
Hi ! Glad to hear that your dad is eating better. I live in Port Saint Lucie Florida. The air is on at 74 degrees. My outlets work fine. I have a toaster & can opener that goes to the same outlet & works when I plug it in. So thank you !
@@luvallrkds1 in regards to the electrical circuit this device draws a lot of amperage. 15 amp circuit is minimum required. 20 amp circuit is definitely preferred. Not sure if that is a concern on your end but it is something I wanted to mention. I really want this next unit to be a keeper for you. Sending good vibes your way.
Hi Andy just got my 4th Maxx Grill Delux yesterday. Praying that I don’t have another shut down. I was trying to find the comment where you had said about how to tell if you have the older or newer version by the model # on the outer box that the max is shipped in. I could not find it. I want to see if Kalorik is shipping me a newer or older version. As to the amp… I don’t know. My home is about 6 1/2 years old & I am using the kitchen outlet. Thank you again Andy. How is your dad doing? I miss mine so much. Cherish each moment you get with him.
@@luvallrkds1 hi Suzanne, thanks for reporting back in. You could tell by the model number on the shipping carton if it ends with SS2 then it is the newest revision. It won't say it on the product itself. I really hope this one is the winning device for you. I love mine so much and I hate to see people having such issues. Sounds like you do have a newer home and I'm sure it probably is able to handle it. I will say this though after moving to my dad's I noticed I can't go in oven mode over 400 degrees without it shutting off if I'm operating the stove at the same time. That means that the amperage supplied by the outlet is not able to handle it. I'm definitely enjoying life with my dad and I know it was the right move. Who knows how long he will be around and I definitely want to be there for him. Trying to convince him to be in one of my outros. Maybe this weekend he will. I know it must be rough losing your dad. Sending blessings and good energy your way.
I have had a Kalorik for over a year. Crappy made (it leaks in the corners, the fake chrome on/off button peeled, the interior walls are cheap metal and hard to clean, using the heavy metal tray as a drip pan means it will take a lot longer to come to temperature...), after months of drawn out series of emails, they finally replaced it, but I am going to sell it as new- unopened box and getting Emeril LaGasse French Door
I have had mine original version well over a year as well. I have never had leaking in the corners like you are describing. I don't have any heating issues when using the drip pan either. The text coming off from below the buttons is a known issue and really not a big deal to me. I have a few different air fryer ovens and they are all made with the same type of metal for the interior. Good luck on your Emeril device.
We own last year’s model and we’re quite happy with the unit, except for one reason. The painted on letters have come off. The newest model has an LCD screen which should eliminate the problem. We also like the heat probe which should give a more accurate temperature reading. Another plus is the charcoal air filter on the back of the unit. We’re retired and have never used the oven in our apartment. Instead, we only use our Kalorik air-fryer/oven & an induction cook top. We appreciate your videos (subscribers) and the detailed information you offer. Thanks.
The new drill model definitely eliminates the problem with letters rubbing off. That was definitely quite a problem with the original device. I don't have an oven in my place because there are no built-in appliances however if I did I am pretty sure I would be just like you and never use it, and instead only use the Maxx. Thank you so much for the kind thoughts and I really appreciate you guys watching my channel.
Per Amazon delivery service, our new Kalorik (2022?) is to arrive on Monday, January 17, 2022. So excited. We really like the blacked out screen with digital info/controls. Giving our old Kalorik to our daughter.
Pourquoi pas en français svp serait agreable
I'm not sure what you are trying to say. I only speak English.

Thank you so much Brandon!
Your videos are very helpful Andy. Thanks
Thank you so much Kathy.
🤘😯😲🔥😈👍
I would add another con to your list. Using the crumb tray under the grill. When I cooked steak on it the drips went on the crumb tray and stained it. I couldn't get rid of them whether using the Dawn spray or anything else. I understand it's not dishwasher safe so won't be doing that. Otherwise I'm very happy with it.
Thank you for letting me know about this. I've cooked a few steaks so far and fortunately that has not happened to me. I will definitely keep that in mind and keep an eye on it.
It might be a great oven but I’ll never know. First unit arrived with a defective door and the replacement arrived with a huge dent, (both out of the box that way) and since they already replaced it once, between the retailer and manufacturer I’m caught in an endless loop of finger pointing and “not our policy”🤷🏽♀️.
Hopefully it resolves but that’s an expensive appliance to just have no one take responsibility.
