I bought this product and i think it does a great job of cooking chicken wings and pork loins. It does get hot quick and we use it a lot more than we thought we would. I found that with a steel wool pad you can clean it quick and the video tape was very helpful on how to use it properly. I purchased the rib rack optionaly and cant wait to use it also. I think for small meals for one or 2 people this is the way to go.

This is an awesome machine, and so easy to use and cleanup.
A few things to pay attention to though:
-It doesn't come with the kabob attachments which I thought it would have as seen in the infomercial.
-It is also the smaller model and does not old a decent sized chicken.
-As a tip, wrap the bottom trays in aluminum foil to make cleanup a breeze.

I am still not disappointed and very happy with it. I usually only cook for one or two people, and this machine is perfect for that. If you're looking to cook whole chickens or turkeys, go with the bigger model which is definitly going to be worth the price due to the fabulous dinners you will get from it. I've cooked steak to chicken to burgers, and they all came out so juicy and tender. It was like it was right off the bbq only juicier.
Mine was reconditioned, and it was like new taking it out of the box. Only upon careful inspection could you see it had been used. But it works great, and I can't wait to keep trying new things in it!!

This product, while sounding great , has been a big disappointment to me. The one & only time I used it there was a great deal of smoking from the unit---so much so that I stopped cooking the turkey in it & put it in the oven. I do not feel that it is as safe as I would like something like this to be.

We purchased one of these brand new direct from Ronco almost a year ago. We loved it so much, that when Amazon had the reconditioned ones on sale for under $40.00 each, we bought two more for each one of our single sons. They love them. This machine makes the best chickens (4-5 lb), turkey roasts, prime rib roasts, kabobs (rods are extra) and burgers (in the basket) that you could wish for. Be sure to line the drip pan with foil. Clean up is very easy (be sure to take off the front glass cover). Do not get this compact model for a large family. These work well for up to 4 people, but no more.

I always wanted one of these, but could not bring myself to pay $100. I took atvantage of the amazon sale and could not be more satisfied. This have replaced my turbo cooker as my favorite kitchen aid. Now I can make Rotisserie chickens just like the super-market for half the price. And clean-up can't be easier. Easier than if I cooked it conventionally in the oven. This is simpley amazing. You will not be disappointed. My girlfriend loves the way the Rotisserie fills the kitchen with a great smell and makes ones mouth water just watching it rotate. The veggy tray is great as well as the basket, can't say enough about this Rotisserie oven

I was a bit skeptical of this product being udder trash since it was one of those made for TV type products. It is pretty cheap construction, but the results are good. It makes it really easy to cook a chicken and just about anything else turns out really good. The results are tuff to argue and it's fairly easy to clean. Only complaint is the build quality is on the cheap side, but the results speak for themselves.

I've owned mine for about a year. We use it quite frequently and I've never, ever had a problem with it smoking, unlike other users. Everything that cooks in this machine comes out juicy, unlike cooking in an oven where foods tend to get dried out. You have to use elastic ties for the chicken but I just go to the sewing dept. at my local Walmart and buy more elastic and make my own. Works just fine. You will NOT be sorry if you buy this machine!

I have had both this and the george junior rotisserie. I enjoy them both, We use these units about 3-4 times a week. It is so easy to cook. I place the meat or poultry in the unit, set it, and go about my business. A little later we cook fresh veggies (steamed) and bingo, your meal is done.

After dinner I rinse out the unit, and cook a load of chicken to take to work for me for my lunches all week. both of these products are amazing.

I have had mine a couple months and love it. It is easy to take apart and clean. I just take it all apart, including the glass door, and put it all in the dishwasher. Mine has been very durable and not torn up at all.

Did not receive the squewers (sp) and after several emails later and about a year later they gave me a refund on the price I paid. Since they wouldn't respond very often or evr get a replacement part in. Otherwise it is great.
