iKamper Aioks unboxing walkthrough - 2021 Best camping table, stove, and kitchen in one?

[@timothykieper]

My 3-year-old daughter would love this!

[@readysetdad5190]

My 4 and 5 year old kids love it, and I think the table is perfect standing height for a 3 year old. I would note that it took some time before my kids learned to keep away from the hot stove. Now they are pretty savvy when I pop this thing out, and they've begun to help me set up.

[@nandanvb357]

Hey dude, if this kitchen works for you, it's great. Don't take the other hate comments too seriously. They have a point, but if a box kitchen works for you, it's awesome! Good video too 👍

[@readysetdad5190]

Thanks so much for your encouraging words. It means a lot to me!

[@nandanvb357]

@@readysetdad5190 I'm glad 😀

[@brucelee3388]

Thank you for the video, it has likely saved a lot of people from buying something that won't do what they want. If Aioks look at videos like this and read the comments they should be able to come up with a much better kitchen box for the future with things like a long leg option, wind shield for the burners, clips for the top board (pin & hole?)........

[@readysetdad5190]

You have some great suggestions! I do hope they take in some consumer feedback for Version 2. I have other suggestions for iKamper, which I'll cover in my full review.

[@robk.9122]

Honest and straightforward. Love that you are excited about the product, even though you already found some flaws. Version 2 of this product may have some of your suggestions (and some of the ones from the comments) in it…😃

[@raymondclark1785]

When i was in scouting we had chuck boxes that nested. The outer box became the stand for the next. The lid folded out and everything was stored inside.

[@Jakelol1980]

Wow this is actually really nice. Would be perfect for a really small cabin.

[@tomaram6938]

😊😊😊 What an excellent review!

[@willisbcteoh9840]

A good try by I Kamper... improvement is continuous. A neat all in one camp kitchen solution. Thanks for the review.

[@danemmerich6775]

How much????

[@jimcarlson6157]

perfect holiday gift for Wee Man

[@americandad4864]

Interesting concept . A big part of camping to me are the gadgets ⚙️🔩

[@jed9998]

Good job man, nice find!

[@kaylin-io2tb]

I think your review is fantastic

[@JenniferElgin]

Thanks for the great review. So many times it’s hard to tell if the product will work fit me but you’ve done such a nice job I think I can tell. Thanks again

[@readysetdad5190]

You are so welcome! Thank you for your kind feedback Jennifer!

[@Knightrayn]

Put it on a slider and add longer legs and it could make a cool pullout kitchen for a small teardrop camper, pickup truck, or van.

[@WillemLuntungan]

Nice box. Camper 👍👍

[@readysetdad5190]

Thanks 👍

[@T4LiebeHeike]

Big like for your unboxing ,like the Product..Very helpfull sharing new friend

[@tacofornia3726]

LOL no way. Bro I know you! We worked together before. Damn, great to see you with your kids. This is Anson btw. Not sure if you remember me. Not trying to put too much information out there but glad you are doing well.

[@twoallame]

Nice idea but don't want to cook kneeling. There are other options that let you stand like the GCI master cook table that is 260$ cheaper....again good review but even as a table its too short for even a decent camp chair

[@rejn1420]

Did you notice that he didn’t extend the legs

[@jed9998]

@twoallame I have never heard of a campfire that doesnt make you kneel or squat…. So if thats so much of an issue for you, you should think twice about camping… remember theres a difference between a picnic and camping. If your bringing your grill to a site that has tables, honestly its more of a picnic bud… that aside, maybe you didn’t notice the legs werent fully extended? a grill this is obviously not… go watch a video of grills man or better yet go make a video of that CGI master you’re so fond of, enough apparently to go into other people’s videos of other products and diss them about the product they’re reviewing just to end up plugging this so called awesome grill thats supposedly better…. In fact Do us a favor, make a video of this so called grill of yours so we can go on them comments, and say how well of a job you did, just to criticize it and tell you (despite having no expertise) that a blackstone is better

[@twoallame]

@@jed9998 I'm not talking backpacking which I have done many many times, yes there you kneel. I'm talking CAMPING in the national forest, with no table, a path to a hole in the ground for your business, and yes I bring a flat top grill on a GCI camp table with a regular camp stove for cooking. I no longer want the experience of cooking on the ground. See its different as one gets older and wants to be comfortable, yet we still sleep on the ground in a tent.....OBVIOUSLY NOT A PICNIC as you commented...that involves a basket, and no over night stay. Oh and you could use the on site public grill.....not me. But we also have a grill for the fire pit that we created in the dirt, cooking our steaks and chicken on. Can't cook pancakes, eggs, hashbrowns on the grill. And troll i did not diss them as you so elliquetly stated. Learn to read and see that I have an opinion on what I use that is less expensive and yet said it was a good review. And I'm not making a video as I DON'T GIVE A BIG ENOUGH SHIT TO MAKE ONE, I don't need to have my 15 minutes of fame....that I've done in many other ways. There are multiple videos on the GCI Master cook station already out there. And how you know I have a blackstone? And obviously you did not watch the video well, as the legs if extended would put a angle on the box part of this camp table, that part has wheels and short stubby legs that are likely extended as far out as possible. Could not utilize a table that has a sharp angle on it

[@bayareapinay8893]

I guess not a lot of people will understand how a table this low is good for some.. and the cost is nay nor yay.. if you have the money.. then go for it.. but seating down while eating - like having hotpot and korean bbq with your family is fun and enjoyable..!!

[@readysetdad5190]

Thanks for your feedback and really well said! Since I made this video, I was curious on how many people this little setup can service. I had 6 adults and 2 kids enjoying hotpot at the beach around this Aioks. It wasn't as comfy as having a full dining table, but we made it work and it was a fun, novel experience.

[@janiswilliams2766]

That’s what I was thinking … hotpot style. A few cushions on the floor and a noodle bowl and you’re set.

[@charles910]

This is designed more for Japanese/Asian style camping where they tend to sit close to the ground using short stools

[@readysetdad5190]

You may have a good point. I've primarily cooked instant noodles and Hotpot on this stove thus far.

[@Bluecollarham]

Lost me as soon as you said “… all your little accessories” LOL

[@drivestorage1779]

this is great! Thanks for sharing!

[@mr.shadestrains6033]

Awesome 👍👍👍👍👍😎

[@ferjeouichaker]

Well worth the money, grwat product

[@hunterluxton5976]

Have they discontinued this lovely green colour?

[@whowho8470]

I'm on the fence about the product the beauty of it is just how compact it is. I wondering if I could set it up on the hood of my Jeep that way I could stand and cook.

[@kl3vr]

I dont want to be on my knees to cook. Thats awkward they made it too short to stand at if it was on the ground, yet it would be too tall to put on a tailgate or picnic table. also looks like the burners have their knobs at opposite sides? thats convenient...

[@angelacarter6593]

That is both too fiddly and too low for me, especially at that price. I don't understand why they didn't just give it better legs. That would easily have solved the height problem. My dog could eat right off the burner....LOL I have a roll table that I can set up in 30 seconds and a propane burner to set on top. More space, easier set up and I don't have to kneel to use it. I appreciate the thorough unboxing though.

[@readysetdad5190]

Thanks Angela. I appreciate your candid feedback. Roll table and propane burner sounds like a great combination.

[@calineman]

For $500!! I don't think so. It's a box with wheels and a handle.

[@martymarr8307]

What's the cost that's how I'd say if it's worth it or not but it looks like it won't last long

[@djo9941]

Right away you can see the latches are in the way of the open carrying handles. I stand when cooking, I guess I would have to sit down and cook.

[@ThanaKrishnan]

Cool Dad.. love it!

[@galemaurer2820]

Question: how high can you set the legs. We trailer camp but all cooking is done outdoors. Can this be set up to picnic table height?

[@readysetdad5190]

Hi Gale. Good question. This is pretty much limited to the height of the box itself, which sits below my knee cap. It can't stretch anywhere near a picnic table's height. I had to test out several short stools before I found one that works comfortably with this table height.

[@jroddy1]

I don't know about anyone else. But the main reason I go camping is because it's so much cheaper than a hotel. If you gotta spend $400 on a freaking kitchen set up and all this other fancy gear, then you can afford a hotel. 😂😂😂 I use a $40 propane stove and a foldable Walmart table that was $30 used. It does everything you need

[@NJ_Mark]

i like ikamper because it's a Korean company but this kitchen seams way to low to the ground. I have been looking at the Tailgate N Go kitchens. They are bigger but they are very customizable and full featured. I, like someone else posted, am also considering making my own chuck box. Good review though.

[@38possum]

Two burner Coleman stove and small fold out table and you have the same thing but not cooking on your knees.

[@Solarlube]

Box kitchens were really big in the twenties thirties etc I think they mau have been called Picnic hampers. {with out food} And they were all made out of wood. and very heavy. But this is a great spin off.

[@readysetdad5190]

I learned something new thanks to you Wayne :)

[@deeag4907]

Tooooo Short 😞 I like the way you share about the product. Continue sharing about new products objectively and i'm sure your channel will grow and grow.

[@caver6292]

Excellent video production, looks like a very well thought out product. I think it could have been better if they had actually thought about people cooking and using the product in a standing position.....

[@readysetdad5190]

Thanks so much for your thoughtful message. I agree. Maybe they could figure out a standing design for Version 2.

[@frankiemartinez3409]

Are you going to do more videos?????

[@dhorvath1425]

I couldn't Imagine bent over to cook or cooking on my knees for more than a few minutes before I called it quits.

[@tundraoutlander3488]

Wind brake for the stove? Too short. Hope you like it.

[@styledliving]

Yeah, I got this as part of the kickstarter, and it was worth it for $258. Unfortunately, there were originally two sizes for this campaign, but iKamper reneged on the promise for the smaller size. Since they changed the size, they forced everyone who wanted the smaller one to pay more. The smaller one, with the same construction, would've been perfect since the sheet metal would've been slightly more rigid. It's also unfortunate they didn't decide to chain the two burners together to use a single tank, and they didn't put the controls on top of the stove panel. They had a good opportunity to make this work out, but the design decisions didn't make a lot of sense for consumers. They also had an opportunity to make cover panel fit in better and resist sliding, just routering an indent would've done it. They could put a lip on the inside to hold it in place. The wheels are a bit cheesy. I'd expect them to use something more common, esp available in the markets they sell to, because those are going to get banged up when they're filled up with weight. They offer it with an optional cooler bag, so the expectation is that there's going to be cold food kept inside. I just don't really see that being convenient. So I only pack stuff I don't need immediately like a paper towel roll, utensils, some bowls and plates, a propane canister, things like that. If think if they really wanted to make it usable, they could've made it slightly taller so people can drop a 5lbs propane tank inside.

[@timfontenot2911]

They were going to produce a smaller one? That one is already too small.

[@soulguidance81]

It looks awesome. I wish my camping trips had something like this, but this is relatively new. Been using tiny sets of storm kitchens.

[@alvinkong6528]

Great video and thank you for sharing

[@4o69o]

clamp the lid using the catches.

[@lrodd247]

Good concept but needs some more time at the drawing board by the designers... 🤔 Will keep eye out for 2.0 👍

[@vanstour5781]

nice

[@richardchandler968]

Glad I saw this video. Concept is excellent but execution is flawed as you pointed out. It does have nicely thought out features such as the fittings for using different gas included. Not worth the $500 in the current state for me. Once again I appreciate the video.

[@kwangaroo]

Check out Camp Kitchen by Trail Kitchens as it'll below this unit out of the water.

[@readysetdad5190]

Wow, great tip Kwang. Trail Kitchen looks like a website I can get blissfully lost in. Have you tried purchasing anything from there yet?

[@kwangaroo]

@@readysetdad5190 No. I'm still investigating options including building my own. Just need to figure the cost vs effort/time before committing to a purchase. I want to purchase only once and not regret the purchase so I'm going to take my time and do my due diligence. Thanks.

[@markthompson1479]

Anybody who shells out the cash for one of these hasnt been camping. Its the equivalent of the kitchen gadget that says it will do something you dont need to have done...then doesnt do it and ends up wasting space somewhere until one day when you final have that clear out it goes to a charity shop, refuge dump or that "friend" you never liked anyway ... Said with all kindness and intended to help the inexperienced...the very inexperienced Commenter from UK

[@readysetdad5190]

Wow, that was a very vivid sequence of events. I respect your opinion, and I still enjoy using this camp kitchen :)

[@Denverscorpio]

Great idea 🤷🏻‍♂️ but way to low to the ground. It's like meant for a kids play set.

[@readysetdad5190]

Yes, It is really low to the ground. It's the perfect standing height for kids around 3-4yrs old to eat from, but I needed to take the time to teach my kids to keep away from the stove when it's hot. I also had to test out several short stools before I found one that works comfortably with this table height. This is a big point of compromise to consider before buying.

[@Denverscorpio]

@@readysetdad5190 my kids learned the hard way. One touched the burner and the other 2 saw it happen. Let's just say one will never touch or go near it and the other 2 learned from the blister and crying lol but I see what ur saying 👍🏻

[@العوجاء-ج8ز]

هذا ممتاز جدا. لكن ينقصه ان يكون اعلى من ذلك. فهو نازل الى الارض. المفروض يكون ارتفاعه اقل شي متر و 20 سم

[@ManuelPerez-yn9yt]

Nice concept still not complete and a bit pricey while still having flaws.the design is good.

[@acrobata]

I think its not convenient (maybe unsafe) to have the dinner table attached to the burners. Could be better if the two parts stand by their own and the lid of the box work as a countertop (to prepare ingridients and to rest the pan).

[@readysetdad5190]

Yeah, you have a good point with the safety concern. It did take my a while to teach my kids to keep away from the hot stove and sharp kitchen sets. Because the height of the whole thing is low, it remains a possible hazard. This is something that I need to keep an eye out for whenever I bring it out to use.

[@andreaglauser4282]

Thats weri cool

[@I-am-J-Kelly]

Sorry, but too short. I think that being so short would bother anyone over (insert age here) back. It is a cool looking design, but I see so many problems with it. I think I will stick with my rubber maid tub and my very uncool table that folds flat.

[@theoutpost2189]

Great review thanks. What would the maximum length of the telescopic legs be at full extension? I would like to attach this to slides so I can extend it out the side of my van, but not sure if those legs could extend to the ground. Any information would be much appreciated. Just subbed:)

[@naturalnat3452]

I don't know much about this product other than what was in the video, but my guess is that if you're already gonna be making a slide for this, you could probably find telescopic poles on amazon or at a hardware store that would fit your specific needs. You could also find whatever is needed to attach a connection point between the product and the telescopic legs you got to meet your needs.

[@Cache73]

It sits too low for me. Cool idea tho.

[@joykind4258]

No way! It doesn't look stable and it's SHORT! Not gonna end up with back pain leaning over to cook.

[@readysetdad5190]

Hi Joy. It is short, and that may be its biggest compromise. I had to test out several short stools before I found one that works comfortably with this table height. Otherwise, if I cooked standing bent over, I may develop back pains as you said.

[@roberthaber2885]

I’m 6’2 this is useless if I was 5’ it would be to short. Who the hell wants to sit on the ground in order to use it. A waste of $500

[@laurena3945]

I'm 5'3;" and immediately said no when I saw the lid fold into a table. It really would be a useless at the current height.

[@Buildsolarhomes]

Keep in mind his innovation is "1.0". Me personally, I would cook with this sitting on a lawn chair 🪑 or place it (if available) on a table and cook. How to use "anything" depends on your imagination.

[@VictoriaNakaraKizer]

This one is way to low to the ground, a person would have to sit the entire time to cook. Would be good for tailgate on back of truck.

[@321southtube]

An inconvenient, overpriced and poorly engineered "camp kitchen". The video however was well done....Thanks

[@spec24]

Maybe some people are used to working on their knees, but I think the majority of people aren't going to enjoy how low this thing is to the ground.

[@johnsmith-xh6je]

Cooking sets ? I thought it was a kitchen in a box

[@gshari5151]

👌👍

[@neomis0119]

They are out of there minds... I’m a guy who spends a lot on quality, this for $499... silly crazy

[@Bruce.Wanye.]

If you cant buy it then it dosent mean its gona fail clearly these products are meant for other kind of people

[@Logan-de3xx]

Yeah definitely appreciate this video. At first I thought this would be awesome and then afterwards this just seems like such a ridiculous idea. Nothing against you just personally I think this is a horrible product. Appreciate you making this!

[@readysetdad5190]

Hi Logan. Appreciate your feedback. I'm glad my video helped you decide this isn't something for you.

[@chingon_grandpa]

Very comprehensive review thank you..the product however, a bit much of a set up process.

[@deborahsmith3764]

It's too low to the ground

[@judymurray191]

It might be adequate for some but a hard no for someone with toddlers. Very dangerous to have flames that low to the ground with little kids running around. Yikes!!!

[@readysetdad5190]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Judy! I had to definitely set some hard ground rules with my kids being around the stove while it's hot.

[@SamSung-mc1jg]

Looks like a childs toy. WAY too small and cheap.

[@ladydi4runner]

Totally agree. 👍

[@WhyWouldYouDrawThat]

Hmm. As someone who regularly goes camping, this appears to be close to useless. It wastes space in the car, is too low to the ground, useless for cooking most things, wonky table that is too low and unnecessary long, bugs can crawl into the box so it’s not good for food storage. We purchased much better for much less, and it takes up much less space. I’m not usually so harsh. But I would be disappointed if someone purchased this thinking it was well thought out and would serve them well. I suspect it hasn’t had any real field testing.

[@luziatamari6103]

🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏🎉

[@rolandoomar10]

Holy shit the handle almost broke and that thing was empty

[@readysetdad5190]

I don't remember a broken handle. Which part of the vid was this on?

[@gigilaroux762]

The legs look like they telescope to be longer but every photo I've seen shows them short. ??

[@samsmythe2207]

Way too short. Has to be table top height.

[@MaryOKC]

Not worth $500.

[@user-ss5dd9zm6k]

😁😁😇

[@drac229]

Looks a little flimsy to me.

[@lesvoyagesdelouis6574]

Joli !

[@melinapatterson9533]

Way too low! My back would be done after one meal

[@havocmaverick]

Kind of close to the ground, otherwise it looks good.

[@readysetdad5190]

Yep, It is definitely close to the ground. At 5 years old it's the perfect standing height for my kids. For the adults, I had to shop around for small stools and chairs to get myself comfortable.

[@kevmodee1866]

Huge fail with this product! Not cost effective, flimsy, QC sucks; and let's face it...I can have a two burner stove, small folding table(that's sturdy), and container for food, for a fraction of the cost, and takes up less space.

[@CandyAppleRed28]

kap

[@verad9706]

Is this a toy kitchen for kids?😂

[@pgiono88]

To expensive for a kids kitchen….

[@daviddarlingauthor]

Thanks for showing us what a waste of money that product is... ughhh.... I could get two milk crates and come up with a better design.

[@karaski24]

That thing is garbage, unless you like chillin on your knees.

[@alanfaulkner6329]

$500 for that. Mmmmm no.

a fool and his money is soon parted.

[@tinosenf6937]

Lol, its a toy...

[@ritaelysee1599]

It's a no for me.

[@ShinyFeral]

So you cook on your knees? Nope!

[@dreamyjeannie311]

Yeah but it's only 2 ft tall and looks cheap as all hell.

[@scenicdriveways6708]

Way..... too much $$

[@R_Cainz13]

😂😂 silly product

[@jdoutdoors1]

This product is terrible.

[@coblaze1]

bro what is this? a kitchen for ants?

[@readysetdad5190]

LOL thats funny. Yeah, it's most definitely a compromise in height and size (not to mention cost). But man.. I LOVE IT
