I was given this item as a gift,and have really enjoyed it. My family loves the the perfectly done chicken. Best of all when making large meals it frees up your oven for other cooking. While there are a few drawbacks-- the outside gets very hot and will melt plastic if left too close. I find that putting a chicken on the rotating spit can be a bit tricky, as it needs to be well balanced when in operation. Also the door is rather loose so you need to take care when handle it so it does not fall off. Although, I tend to dislike and refuse to buy anything that requires more cleanup (chicken in pyrex in the oven is much easier), I will make an exception for this this item. It does a great job. In spite of the fact that fat drips into the drip pan, the chicken is still moist and juicy with a crisp crust.
I just bought the large rotisserie that will accomodate a turkey and will use it for Thanksgiving. It will be great to have an availabe oven.
