took a long time to arrive but works fine

I used an older model a few years ago to cook rib roast and turkey for the holidays and I and everyone really loved the results. Memories of the pleasure drove me to buy this since from various moves, I lost the one that I had.I bought this particular model initially to cook the turkey for thanksgiving. It arrived on time and although I expected all the components to be stainless steel, since that is why I specifically chose the stainless steel model, the one that I received, still had the inner components with the non-stick coating. Yes, it does make it easier to clean but I would have still preferred the stainless steel for personal reasons.Ok, so I accepted the non-stick coating and was pleasantly surprised that I was able to fit a 12lb turkey in the unit. ***Here is what needs to be known! When the original Ronco Rotisserie's were made, they must have studied the cooking time to print the recommended cooking time per pound based on what is being cooked. In my case, it was turkey. I remember with the old rotisserie, the cook times were very accurate. However, as some other reviewers have mentioned, the newer models are different. It could be the way the speed in the turning mechanism or the heat of the heat bars. Regardless, I overcooked the thanksgiving turkey! It looked beautiful but it was way overcooked even though I pulled it out 30 minutes before the recommended time. Honestly, I wish that I would have experimented with it before thanksgiving.Anyway, the machine works great but the recommended cooking times are way off. I highly recommend to use a thermometer to understand the true cooking times.After a few days, I cooked a large chicken doing just that, using a thermometer, and the results were outstanding.This machine is a rotisserie and does what is supposed to do and does it very well. Just DO NOT rely on the recommended cooking times printed on the unit or the manual. Use a thermometer to learn the true cooking times!

Bought this from Amazon Sept 2023. Was great while it lasted. Used it mostly for chicken, with some basket use. Great appliance but by September 2024, the element stopped working. Only a 90-day manufacturer’s warranty on it (for obvious reasons).I would love to replace it but paying that price every year for this appliance is far from worth it. It would be cheaper to pick up a Costco chicken twice a week, especially when you factor in the price of the chicken.Impressed with the quality when it worked. Sorely disappointed in the poor quality of the choice of materials and/or workmanship.

Very good, thank you. This works very well. Recommend.

Was so disappointed when i received it . Totally smaller then showing in picture measurements . Was not impressed . Will never buy again .
