Love this thingI had this toaster oven for 10 years before it died on me. I initially went for a different, fancier model to replace it, but ended up returning it twice due to defects in the build quality. I just decided to go back to what I know works, and if I can still find this one in another 10 years, I’ll do it again.

Doing what I need it to…and more!I use my counter-top oven a lot. So when my trusty Black & Decker croaked, I went shopping for a new one of those first. But the reviews everywhere were NOT good. Then I saw the reviews for this. Never heard of Maxi-Matic before, but I’m glad I went ahead and got it!I’ve tried roasting, rotisserie, grilling, toasting and baking. Still trying to get the feel for baking in this. I think it’s just a matter of learning it’s cooking and heating patterns. But the rest? OMG…I will never buy a rotisserie chicken store-cooked again. It cooked up my bird quickly, evenly and with great flavor. And my roasted chicken came out tasty and nicely golden, too, while stil being moist on the inside. My toast has come out just right each time, though it helps that I am not super picky. I didn’t buy it for the top thingy, but I grilled up sausage and eggs while toasting my bread one morning. Nice.What’s really impressed me is how quickly it cooks…without the convection feature that I’ve had for years and wasn’t certain I was willing to give up. Nope…don’t miss it.I saw some comments about the heat. OK…it’s an OVEN. Duh. They get hot. But only to the touch…neither my counter below or behind, nor the things sitting on the counter beside it, nor the base of the cabinet above it have gotten the slightest bit warm. If I still had small children of a size to reach it, it would be a matter of being IN the kitchen to watch it or with them watching that they didn’t go INTO the kitchen. While also teaching them that ovens are HOT…don’t touch! But that’s equally true with my large oven.Also saw some comments about clean up. I was actually amazed at how quickly this thing cleaned up. I didn’t wait very long to do the cleaning. I wiped it down as soon as it was cool enough to do so after roasting and after eating dinner when I rotisseried. Everything came right off. Nothing left on the sides, the bottom, the elements, the top or the door. Very easy. But I can see it being a problem if you let it sit for a while. I could wish the baking pan was not so sticky and easier to clean, but will probably replace it with a better nonstick toaster oven baking pan.All in all, being a great toaster oven + more so far.

Its awesomeThis is a very good and I and I like it you can warm up bake do whatever small things I don’t have to turn my oven to warm up stuff I use only this its so much easier

Good rotisserie but you must use very small chicken!I purchased this primarily for the rotisserie function. The chicken was cooked perfectly in the end, but there were three problems at the start:(1) I did not push the skewer hard enough into the wall of the oven. If your chicken does not rotate, make sure you have the skewer in deeply enough.(2) I thought I had the chicken trussed tightly, but a turn or two was all it took and the thing was flopping around. Tie your chicken up so tightly that it seems absurd.(3) My chicken was under 4 pounds and it kept scraping against the roof of the oven. I had to take the griddle from the top and invert it, which meant a loose fit. (I do suggest keeping the griddle in there in some way, because there are exposed burners and the lid on top does not fit tightly. It seemed too dangerous not to have that second level of protection and I still consider this approach too dangerous if you have children, pets, or anyone who might jar the top loose. Seriously, this is not a safe method, it was just the only one that worked.)By the way, I’d say that you should NEVER use it directly underneath cabinets or anything else, even if you keep the griddle in the original position. If you don’t have 3 feet of clearance above it, then don’t use it.So, in short, it is too small for most chickens and workarounds may be needed for anything above 3 pounds. But, the chicken did come out well in the end.

Very Happy with Just One IssueI bought this for my wife who wants to make herself rotisserie chicken Although it has many different features and attachments, that is the function that I will be using it for primarily. This is a fantastic small unit for someone who does not have a tone of counter space. Additionally it can function as a convection oven and toaster oven.The rotisserie function works fantastically and if you set it up right is remarkable easy to clean. I simply line the bottom tray with tin foil and let it drip onto that. It is also pretty easy to get your chicken or roast onto the spit and if the operation isn’t self explanatory enough, there is an easy to use guide.The only problem that I have is with regard to the heating elements, It can be difficult to insert and extract the food that you are cooking on the rotisserie (not because it is hot, there is an attachment for easily removing the hot food while still on the spit). The spit attachment is almost exactly as long as the interior is wide and as such it is a little difficult to pull out. In addition if you use a dry rub or sauce and it brushes against the naked heating coil, it started smoking as soon as it heats up, much like with grease on the bottom of an oven.All in all a great buy for the price, I would definitely suggest this for anyone looking for a quality convection oven/ Rotisserie at a great price.
