Description
If you're having a large group over for dinner, you need an appliance that's going to allow you to prepare a lot of food quickly and easily, such as this large countertop oven. With a revolving rotisserie, preparing juicy meat is a snap, and the oven's size allows you to accommodate up to a 7.5 lb. chicken. The oven heats by convection, or circulating heat evenly from one region to another, to cook food quickly and with less attending.

Strengths: Large capacity. Rotisserie.
Weakness: Overly heats the area around it. Doesn't do as well on small jobs.
This is my first convection oven and perhaps I had lofty expectations. I find that this oven provides nothing special when used in convection mode. Just due to room, it doesn't allow two pizzas to be cooked as properly as it does one. It takes longer to cook things than the toaster oven it replaces, which I was surprised about. The rotisserie function is nice.
Strengths: large capacity, dual tray, rotisserie feature
Weakness: none so far
we were looking for a grill with dual tray and there aren't too many models with proper dual trays, most have very little space between heating element and tray when both trays are used together. Rotisserie is also a nice to have though we've not tried it yet. heating is fast and timer feature proves useful.
Strengths: Large enough to cook almost any thing. Easy to keep clean.
Weakness: Puts out a lot of heat while cooking.
This is my first convection oven and perhaps I had lofty expectations. I find that this oven provides nothing special when used in convection mode. My old small toaster oven cooked faster and put out less heat. The rotisserie funcion is a nice addition.
Strengths: Reasonably priced, good size/capacity, cooks well, and less heat output than regular full-sized oven.
Weakness: Slow and slightly uneven toaster function.
Bought this for my parents awhile back and other than toasting bread they're happy with it. In this size/capacity and $100 plus or minus price range, this model has the best user reviews. It doesn't heat up the kitchen like a regular oven, the convection and rotisserie features work well, and it comes with the necessary accessories. The Folks and I like it...
Strengths: Large size
Weakness: none
My wife picked this convection oven up to replace a smaller unit we have had for a couple of years. This thing is HUGE! We find ourselves cooking most of the things we were cooking in our conventional oven. The sides and top get pretty hot but so did our smaller one. The convection really cuts down on the cooking time and you can easily switch on the fly if you notice the top or bottom of your...
Strengths: Bakes and broils very nicely. Heats quickly, compact, yet roomy inside.
Weakness: Cabinet gets very hot on top. Oven temperature in mine is about 30° below knob setting.
This little oven has the most space inside of any economical countertop oven I've seen. I've done several casseroles in it and it cooks very nicely once a person gets used to its idiosyncrasies. To compensate for the inaccuracy of the temperature knob, I use an oven thermometer sitting on the lower rack to monitor the actual oven temperature. I ignore the knob setting and turn it up until the...
Strengths: This little convection oven is compact, sleek, easy to use and bakes beautifully. Lightweight.
Weakness: None so far.
I bought this little convection oven for my small catering business. Doing open house for small businesses that don't have kitchens is a lot easier with this oven. We do scones, savories, etc. and it is a perfect size. Easy to carry from one business to another. I can bake scones in half the time and they come very well. I use it at home occasionally and did pot pie the other night. Worked great....
Strengths: Large enough to replace full size oven for most of our meals
Weakness: Not good for toasting.
This is a good convection oven for an empty nest family that cooks for two. It uses less energy then our full size oven and cooks well. Also, like the fact that you can cook two different items at the same time, since it has two racks. Overall, we are very pleased with this product.

Rotisserie Oven
Strengths: Quiet, temperature is accurate, results in cooking have been uniform
Weakness: I am always looking for a really large oven. This is pretty good but still won't fit a standard cookie sheet. I don't like having to tie up the chicken in this model.
Living in Arizona I love cooking outside when the temperature soars. My house stays cool which is important. I really like rotisserie chicken and this model works well for it. Be careful on the size of your chicken. 5 lbs is really the absolute maximum. I'd stick with 3.5 lbs. Thus far I have made two types of bread and the chicken. I am pleased with the product. I would select if over the other...
