Ronco Digital Rotisserie Oven, Platinum Digital Design, Large Capacity (12lbs) Countertop Oven, Multi-Purpose Basket for Versatile Cooking

We had a Ronco Showtime rotisserie for years and decided it was time for an upgrade. This new model has some great new features like the element cover that keeps the grease off the burner and pops out for easy cleaning. The new timer is also a step up from the dial that we were used to, but definitely an improvement. One thing that hasn't changed is the great food that you can make. Prime rib, BBQ ribs, sausages, chicken, and more, all come out perfect. Would easily give it 10 stars if it would let me.

Even though the Spit broke on the first one, Amazon exchanged it with another one. I love this thing. It works excellent. Easy clean up. The food is awesome!! I can’t say enough good things about it. Definitely worth the buy.

I just un boxed my rotisserie oven today and used it for the 1st time. The chicken is very juicy and tender. And clean up was so easy . Update 3/20/25 i cooked a 7lb turkey breast and it was amazing. Only disappointment I have is the time printed on the side of machine is coming off. So I don’t know how many minutes to stuff no without looking it up online

We had this same product for 20 years and loved it. So we got a new one, took it out of the box and threw the box away. The new one is defective. One of the tongs broke off. We have had it for less than a month. I contacted Ronco on the Sunday before Christmas, and Monday morning I was called by a representative from the company to address the problem. They direct shipped me a new part to replace the defective one by express mail and kept following up to make sure I received it. Best service ever. Thank you.

So after having my original rotisserie for about 10 years, the heating element final gave out. We usually do a chicken once a week and it always came out great: My biggest gripes were: 1) OLD: No heat control (always used 1.5 - 1.25 hrs for a medium sized chicken. about 90% success rate with the method 1) NEW:.. So there are now two distances from the heating element that you can use which is great...at first glance.. However they cut the rotational speed to a much slower speed so it seems to have negated the ability to have two different cooking temperatures. You have to watch it much more as the slow rotation as it seems to cook hotter. BE CAREFUL WITH THE ROTISSERIE ON THE CLOSEST. It is very hot. 2) OLD: The rotisserie assembly was teflon-like coating that continued to peel off over time. I kept threatening to replaces the straight pieces of the assembly with stainless steel so It wouldn't be such a pain. 2) NEW: Not only did they make the rotisserie assembly stainless steel which makes cleaning a breeze but added a removal stainless steel plate that is flat and curved and slips behind the heating element. Much easier to clean...however, I believe this is what has raised the cooking temperature. The heat not reflects off the shiny stainless steel deflector plate toward the food being cooked... 3) OLD: getting the food lined up on the grill assembly (centered as good as possible) was a pain in the rear end. The rods that go through the chicken or meat are flexible and when they come out the other end they can be "off" enough that they wont go into the other end of the assembly and you have to start over. 3)NEW; The stainless steel rods are much stiffer and wont flex as much. In addition they provide a plastic stand that the assembly can be set in pointing the rods "up" and enabling you to align the meat with both hands. Works much better. 4)OLD: The timer was mechanical...fool proof. If you wanted to pause you just turned the dial off, if you wanted to change the time left you just turned the dial...etc... Kind of like apples mouse with a single button. 4)NEW: DIGITAL display...push buttons to pause, stop, start.... Same functions as "OLD" but digital looks cool! No value add here friends! I like the new one as much as the old one...a bit better because of the stainless steel. It has some flaws but they are workable if you pay attention to what you are doing. I just did a small "beef sirloin roast" with it and it came out very good... Salted it and stuffed it with cloves of garlic..left overnight then rinsed it off the next day and cooked it. again...very tender and tasty!

I am a REAL PERSON!!. I had wanted to buy a rotisserie for a while, when I was young we had a Faberware that worked well. This Rotisserie is awesome. We simply put in the chicken, and even without any seasoning, we found it tasted great. The cooking time is important, and having a MEAT thermometer is critical. The Ronco Showtime Large Capacity Rotisserie is an awesome kitchen device that everyone should have.

I dislike that this oven is cheaply constructed out of inferior material. I had the gen. 1 oven and it lasted almost 20 years. The heating element went bad. I sent this oven back two times and I kept the third one. It was no better than the first two. The spit rod was loose and the non-stick coating on the grease pan peeled off in spots after the first use. The second and third one had the same problem with the non-stick coating peeling off. On the third one the spit rod on one side came off in my hand while I was cleaning it after three uses and a total of about six hours use. I owned the original oven and It was much sturdier and more accessories came with it. I bought this oven thinking it would be just as good as the original. I was sadly mistaken and I paid almost twice more than I did for the first one. Now I'm stuck with an oven that's useless because the spit rod is broken. If you have owned Gen. 1, Gen. 2 is going to be a disappointment. The overall performance of the oven is excellent, but the accessories that enable it to function as described is unsatisfactory; which is why I gave it only one star. Buyer beware I don't recommend this oven .

Great product. Makes the best moist chicken. Don’t buy rotisseries at grocery stores, make them at home for a healthier and tastier meal. I make a rotisserie and save leftovers for chicken soup. This machine is just as good as the first Ronco I bought over 20 years ago.
