Great food, every time with the Ron Popeil
I actually have three of these, that's how obsessed I am.
I have an older one that's showing it's age so I went online looking for a replacement, only to find that many places weren't selling it anymore -- all the sites have the super small one, but noone had this version. I saw it at Amazon, so I bought two of them, in case they stopped making it.
Now when my old one dies, I have two back-ups.
There were originally three models; a small one, this one (the "Platinum" version), and a "Pro" version that was longer and allowed you to fit like, four chickens at a time. That's overkill, even for me.

Best Best Machine Ever
I highly recommend this machine. My original one I bought direct from Ronco in 1999 was looking a little tattered and decided it was time for a new one. If you like chicken this is the only way you'll ever eat it again.
Great
I previously own a showtime deluxe for 8 years but in the process of moving the workman dropped it and broke it. This was the replacement. So far I love it!!!!
3rd Purchase of this product
I love Ronco Showtime Rotisserie Platinum Edition but it just doesnt seem to hold up. The first on I purchased I had for over 5 years, they plastic on the bottom just couldnt take the heat. The shell started falling apart and the door kept falling off. The second one I purchased lasted less than 3 years and the heating element went out......what a bummer. I called the Ronco Co. and they basically said tuff. So I have purchased another on so far so good. I love the way it cooks chicken and beef......Im hooked, guess I will continue to purchase????
Dishonest practices
I have purchased 3 Showtime Rottisseries. They are not durable, and Ronco does not honor their warranty. I've been waiting a year for a replacement oven under the extended warranty I purchased. Yes, it cooks wonderful chicken and even turkey, but it won't last for long if you use it.
