Killer review! Thank you for being so thorough. I am sold. 🙌

Great video demo. I purchased this unit and did not get anywhere near as many accessories as you did. I am going to reach out to the seller to see how I can get more air flow trays and the skewers. I purchased this because it was more than twice the capacity of my current air fryer. I was expecting to get less functionality. I’m really hoping this one hits it out of the park as you demonstrated. Keep up the great videos.

[@TheFoodExperience]

Hopefully the seller will make it right for you. It is a very nice product in my opinion. Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment.

[@MyYvFr]

Thank you for the very extensive review with actual examples of the main features! Looks like a pretty solid unit.

[@simmer651]

Good review. I bought one of these and have been experimenting with it over the last week. I agree with your points. One of which is that it doesn't cook on the bottom very well. As you noted with the pizza. I've also noticed the same thing with toast but overall, at this point, I like it

[@TheFoodExperience]

Thank you very much John! If it only had lower heating elements it really would be a perfect device. Either case I really enjoy using it. Hope you get some good use out of yours.

Excellent review! I just got one for my wife for Christmas (we've never had one before now) because she loves to cook and always wants a new kitchen gadget. I agree with your con on the temperature. We needed a temperature of 425℉, but the oven will only go up to 400℉, like you say. So we'll have to experiment at cooking times for lower temperatures. Another con that I don't like is that the time counts down during the preheat cycle. I wish it would not start counting down until the preheat is over. Even better (for us, anyway) would be if it would wait until you open and close the door after putting the food in. This would be helpful in a scenario where you got busy and were not able to insert the food immediately after the preheat cycle was over. Like you, we'll just have to add the extra five minutes to allow for preheating. Tonight, we just used it for the first time to cook some frozen pizza rolls. They came out much better than the microwave method, which tended to make them tough. Thanks for your review! One question, though. Would it be OK to put a piece of foil directly on the drip tray to keep it clean or will that cause a problem with the performance? Also, like others have posted, we received only the user manual, no other cards, documentation, or books.

[@gracenagracetoujours8476]

I bouth one but didn't come with some stuff i'm see here, i need to call the company.. Great review well done😊

[@TheFoodExperience]

Sorry you did not receive all the accessories. There should be a number for them in their manual. I'm hoping there is. I no longer have the product cuz I gifted it to a friend.

[@sisterella100]

Thanks for the review. It was helpful. How long do you remedy preheating the air fryer for before cooking??

[@TheFoodExperience]

You are very welcome. I'm glad it was of help. It takes just about 5 minutes for the preheat to 400°.

[@joannepoissonier2030]

I don't know if you noticed that some of the presets the fan light was not on so you can use that as bake and just put your time and temp wanted instead

[@TheFoodExperience]

You cannot really do that though. In order to bake things you need heat from the bottom and the top. Since there are no bottom heating elements one would not get the results they would want when baking things like cakes, bread, etc.

[@asraiSOA]

Eyeing this unit. Thanks for the great review. How do you like that 'Meater' thermometer?

[@TheFoodExperience]

Thank you so much! I thoroughly love the Meater probe. I've been using it for about 2 years now and never one issue.

[@asraiSOA]

@@TheFoodExperience Excellent. Many thanks for the reply. Perhaps you should do a review on THAT too. 🙂

[@TheFoodExperience]

@@asraiSOA I did review Meater when I first bought the product a couple years ago. Now that you mention it I should do a follow-up review and let people know how it's been working out this whole time. My original review is at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXSwcmmijLl0fZo

[@asraiSOA]

@@TheFoodExperience Well there ya go. Shame on me for not searching your channel. Appreciate the in-depth reviews.

[@judytheroberts8273]

My oven was delivered with the drip tray/fryer tray and mesh basket inside at the bottom of the oven. I cannot figure out how to get them out for cleaning! Any suggestions welcome!

[@TheFoodExperience]

All of the trays came wrapped in paper and were inserted into the oven. It was actually a bit of a struggle to get them out.. they definitely should not stay in there except for whichever one you are using to cook food with.

[@Woof728]

I've done a lot of research on air fryers and the Gluck seems to have almost everything I'd like. Haven't taken the plunge yet because so many commenters have said that their air fryer died within within a year. Some even said that it lasted 2-3 months. Has anyone here have one that's lasted over a year or is just that nothing is made to last anymore?

[@TheFoodExperience]

I have only has mine a couple of months. Hopefully there are others who will chime in. I really like the type and amount of accessories that they provide. Very easy to use device.

[@simmer651]

There's a different brand on Amazon that looks just like the Gluck. That one had a number of reviews that said it didn't last. I didn't see such reviews for for the Gluck.

[@GeeDeeBird]

Top your biscuits and gravy with a couple of over medium eggs, and you are golden!

[@TheFoodExperience]

That does sound like a fantastic idea!

[@RonFloyd]

Nice review Andy! What is the width, depth, and height of the inside(cooking area)?

[@TheFoodExperience]

Thank you so much Ron! I don't have the manufacturer's exact specs but it is around 11.5wx10dx8h.

[@RonFloyd]

@@TheFoodExperience Thanks Andy! Amazon had them for $50 off, so I'm giving it a try.

[@TheFoodExperience]

@@RonFloyd Even though it does not offer traditional oven/bake mode I think everything that it does offer is well worth it. Especially with the amount and types of accessories it comes with.

[@RonFloyd]

@@TheFoodExperience - Yes, I agree - especially with the $50 discount. With it, I can do multiple items at the same time. Since I live alone, this should encourage me to do more than just microwave some frozen or canned stuff. LOL

[@zzchart]

i waited a few years before buying the Gluck. I was having a hard time trying to figure out the preheat and time . i finally got it. Made center cut pork chops and they were the best pork chops we have ever had.i didn’t get the recipe book or the one year warranty like it advertised. only washed the bottom tray in warm soapy water and can see the peeling right away. Can I get another .I want to keep the air fryer and play with it some more. So far I’m happy i ordered this one.

[@karlleith3934]

THANK YOU

[@mariapizarrosath8147]

I didn’t get the quick start book, recipe book or the 1 year guarantee card, I also got 1 pair of mittens

[@TheFoodExperience]

That is most unfortunate. I recommend getting a hold of the manufacturer from the store site you purchased it from.

[@nancywilson6002]

I didn't get that stuff either!!!!

[@mj1s735]

Tip that works for me when cooking pizza in an air fryer. Set the temp to 400 F, start on the top rack for at least 2 minutes and then move the pizza to the middle rack for the rest of the time. For me the top gets it crispy and the bottom is also done to my liking. Basically you have to adjust the time for how you like your crispness, but starting on the top rack first is the key to good crispness.

[@TheFoodExperience]

I agree, except for one thing, that only works if the air fryer has upper and lower heating elements. This one did not.

[@mj1s735]

@@TheFoodExperience It works fine on the model made by Kalorik I have. It is similar in size and only has the heating element on top. But it has a very strong fan and as long as the food is on the middle rack it can circulate enough heat to cook the underside as well. Sadly they don't make this model anymore. But so far it has been working for several years now. I am afraid to get their newer model, some of the reviews say it fails in less than a year or even shorter. I like it because there is no preheat function, so it takes a little longer to cook food. But it is basically set it and forget it. You don't have to turn food over to get food cooked properly on both sides.

[@TheFoodExperience]

@mj1s735 Thank you for sharing your experience although mine is quite different. I have done extensive testing and maybe you don't like your crust as Krispy crunchy as I do. Perhaps it is a personal preference thing. With the Kalorik I use I always bake and not air fry pizzas. I find if I air fry them it heats up the top too quick and the bottom doesn't get any love at all. Something's just come out better baked with top and bottom heating. But to each their own that's for sure.

[@mj1s735]

@@TheFoodExperience I like my pizza crisp, almost to the point of it being crunchy. And this model is able to do that. It is much loader than the new one I got from Instant, but I am sending it back because you have to flip food or the food will get over cooked in areas, especially the ends. That Kalorik model has me spoiled. If I wanted to have to flip food, I would get one of those cheaper basket type air fryers.

[@lindakelley2676]

What is it made of? It doesn’t lest whether it is stainless steel or Teflon coated.

[@TheFoodExperience]

I am not sure to be honest. It definitely does not have a coating for the interior of the airfryer.

[@Woof728]

The company says it's made of stainless steel inside except for the drip pan. That's teflon. I won't use teflon so I'll just place some aluminum foil on the bottom to replace it.

[@haventsleptinyrs]

Can you or SOMEBODY please please tell me how to use the toaster accessory that came with the air fryer. Literally cant figure out how to use it

[@TheFoodExperience]

I am not sure which toaster accessory you are speaking of. In my video I demonstrated all the various functions and described how to use the device.

[@haventsleptinyrs]

@@TheFoodExperience Googled it, its apparently just a bread slice toast rack that stand about 8 slices of the bread vertically while it air fries

[@TheFoodExperience]

@haventsleptinyrs Thanks for letting me know. I guess it is something they added since they sent me this version to review.

[@lita7041]

How to turn off the noice bip?

[@TheFoodExperience]

There is no way to disable the beep sound. It's actually one of the things I mentioned in my video.

BUYER BEWARE: I waited a little over a week to set up and use my Gluck air fryer. I based my purchase upon all the features that I was looking for but mainly because of the initial, 100% rating it received especially compared to other brands. In the meantime, I received an email from the company asking me to give it a high rating in return for a $20 Amazon gift card. which I ignored. Then I realized that the ratings were dishonest and other customers were probably bribed too so back it went! Subsequently, I received another email from the company offering me a $50 gift card this time! This was infuriating since I based my purchase on phony ratings. I refused to be bribed! Though I notified Amazon, they apparently haven't done anything about it! I did get satisfaction of basically telling the company where to go with one or two expletives thrown in - couldn't help it! Now I don't trust any of the ratings!! (ps) As of 2 days ago, this Gluck microwave the bogus rating was at 89% with very few negative ones. I guess they bought off a lot of people! Lesson learned: If it's too good to be true, it isn't!!

[@Woof728]

Sixteen hours to dehydrate small haberno pieces seems like an awfully long time!!

[@TheFoodExperience]

They may have been done a few hours earlier. All I do know is after 10 hours they definitely were not done.
