Product Description
Amazon.com Review
The incomparable flavor and moistness of food from a rotisserie comes to the backyard when this electric rotisserie is fitted into any Weber Genesis Silver, Gold, or Platinum grill. At 21-1/2 inches long and 6 inches wide, it's spacious enough to hold two chickens or roasts or a full slab of ribs. Trussing hardware is included, and everything except the handle is made of metal for easy cleaning. The heavy-duty motor ensures smooth turning. Securing the motor to the rack and screwing in the handle makes setting up the rotisserie simple. --Fred Brack

Love it, but....,
By Critic At Small (World Traveler) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Weber 9891 Gas Barbecue Rotisserie (Lawn & Patio)
This basket-style Rotisserie is wonderful - it handles most meats far easier than a spit. You can do whole chickens, split chickens, game hens, flat ribs, and very small roasts. You do not have to worry about balance and counter weights. You can fit the disassembled basket into the dishwasher. I love it.Except.... The basket is too small for a turkey or a large leg of lamb. A whole turkey would require a spit, and indeed, Weber sells one (the 9890). You would think Weber would package just the spit and clamps without the motor, so that a customer could own a system with two options - a basket and a spit. However, Weber does not package Rotisseries this way and will not sell the spit and attachments without the motor. (I asked, they refused.) You have to buy two motors if you want to use both a basket and a spit. Weber would do well to take advantage of the great marketing opportunity afforded by packaging a basket and a spit with one motor, instead of blocking customers from acquiring such a desirable combination.

Best chicken I've ever made,
By Bruce (Seattle, WA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Weber 9891 Gas Barbecue Rotisserie (Lawn & Patio)
I love it. All the complaints here have some validity but are not serious:- It's hard to tighten the screws enough for the baskets to hold the chickens in place. But I secure each chicken with one piece of twine as well. This is easy and does the trick. The manual says that as meat cooks and shrinks, you may need to tighten the baskets, but with twine I haven't needed to. - The shaft sometimes comes loose from the basket which causes it to slip while turning. I now know to tighten the shaft with a wrench and check for slipping when I start cooking. If it does slip, it can be tightened without removing it from the grill. - Cleaning takes a little effort but you don't need to disassemble it. Just make sure the screws are tight enough that they won't fall out in the dishwasher! I spray mine with water and let it sit wet at least a few minutes, then rub it quickly with an abrasive plastic sponge to remove or at least loosen any baked-on chunks; then I wash it on the heavy-duty cycle. If I remove the handle (easy) I can fit the rest of the assembly diagonally in my dishwasher. (It does barely fit so there is no guarantee it will fit another model of dishwasher.) I'm not sure any of these steps are necessary, but with them, it comes out spotless, and nothing else in the dishwasher gets dirty. This does take a little work to clean, but then again, roasting chickens in the oven leaves a mess too. - Of course you need to bring the motor in after using it (or at least before it rains). But it easily slips out of the holder (which is screwed onto the grill). The chickens I've made have been incredible. (With any cooking method, I also recommend brining -- soak 2 birds in 6 quarts water with 1.5 cups kosher salt (or 3/4 cup table salt) and 3/4 cup sugar for 4 hours, then rinse and dry before cooking).

Redundant Failures,
By Robert Grossman (Palo Alto, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Weber 9891 Gas Barbecue Rotisserie (Lawn & Patio)
We barbeque often, 12 months per year, using rotisserie 4 to 5 times a month. Despite the Weber name, the accessory rotisserie was obviously an import with a very cheaply designed gear motor. The first one lasted about three months. The first replacement ran for about 15 months before you could hear the bearing rattling and the gears starting to whine before it died. The final replacement has lasted about two years. The instructions on the third one advised that the unit be brought indoors when not in use. We did that with the first two as well, though we weren't informed it would be advisable to do so. Our final word is that Weber should make quality control a top priority on source out products bearing their name...
