A Must Have

I've had this rotisserie over a year now and absolutely love it. I cook not only chicken and turkey but steaks, burgers and roasts as well. All my meats are so tasty and juicy and I find it very easy to clean. It may not "look" clean, but it is and it works awesome!! I used to cook on my grill all the time...even through winter...but now I hardly ever do!

I use this product at least 3 times a week on average..sometimes more!!!

love it

I had the older version for 10 years & really loved it but it was getting old. I ordered this one. It came with a dent in the bottom but I was able to get it out & it works perfectly. Absolutely love the machine. I want to get another for my sister but they are sold out here. Will keep checking.

This rotisserie was just the right size for our family. Plenty of room for a nice size chicken or a small turkey. Design is nice, I like how the front door slides down beneath the unit, making removing your items less cumbersome.

Great Unit

This is the second Ronco Platinum Rotisserie we have purchased. We love chicken and pork loins done this way so decided to buy a replacement. The first one died after 4+ years of use. The wires burned off the heating element. Hope this one lasts longer. Otherwise is would be a 5* product.

Never thought I'd buy a Ronco product...

After eight years of weekly use, my George Foreman rotisserie was finally retired after the plastic fittings broke off due to heat. The Foreman was a very good product for the money, but I wanted something more suited to my apartment lifestyle. So after a year rotisserie-less, I tried the Ronco Showtime, and I have to say: Why did I wait?

The Showtime is still cheaply made, but somewhat more durable than its competitors and with fewer parts that might overheat and break off. It's very easy to set up though the very thorough packaging might prove frustrating for some users. The first thing to break on my old Foreman was the analog dial which was the sole control. I appreciate the digital controls on the Showtime, but I'm concerned about heat damage later on. One feature I love, is the ability to "park" the spit off the gears in order to check temperature, add spice, etc. My only real beef is the door: For someone like me, it's a little bit fragile. However, it does swing completely under the unit and out of the way.

As for its effectiveness as a cooking tool, well, I am a cook of very few gadgets. I have a slow cooker, a rice cooker, and the Showtime, and I will use the Showtime much more than the other two. I took it right out of the box and made a tasty tri-tip roast that had my wife and the cat both salivating. Tonight I'm going to try chicken breasts.

A few words of advice. First, the Showtime comes with a bunch of gimmicks that you will never use. The "flavor injector" is basically useless because injectable marinades usually come with one. Take my advice and throw away the "BBQ gloves." They're cheap, chemical-smelling plastic. Go to your local DIY warehouse and invest 15 bucks in some professional welder's gloves. One thing this unit lacks, is any way to easily remove the spit from the oven. Fortunately, all the old fittings from my Foreman, including the metal handle gizmo, can be made to work with the Showtime.

Also, don't bother with the larger model that has a "steamer tray" on top. The tray appears to be just plastic and I don't think it will work that well. Stick with the compact, easy-to-use model profiled here.
