Fantastic!! If you’re single or couple, it’s perfect!!
I’m a divorced man living alone who enjoys cooking. For the past few years, I have been using my toaster oven since I’m only cooking for one.The last few months I have been actively looking for something that has a larger cavity and has a rotisserie option.I came upon the Chefwave Digital Countertop Rotisserie Pressue Oven and thought it was too good to be true.After measuring and re-measuring, I decided to take the plunge.Waiting anxiously, I unpacked it and read the manual.My first step was to make toast. It came out perfectly with only pressing the Toast button and start. I should note that I put the wire rack on the middle position.I had a two pound turkey breast that had been brined overnight. I threaded it through the rotisserie rod and positioned it in the middle. I placed foil over the drip pan as the manual suggested.I pressed Roast, Temperature (default 480), Time (45 minutes), Pressure, Rotisserie and finally the Start button. 45 minutes later the turkey breast was perfectly cooked.I am so happy with my purchase!!!The manual will answer all your questions, assuming you understand that the manufacturer is explaining the logic for most cooking needs.... especially with the 5 recipes included.I have taken 4 pictures of the cooking cavity. I would not put in anything on the rotisserie greater than 9” because it would drip on the burners. Although the height from the bottom is 4”, I would not put anything over 3 1/2” from the center of the rotisserie rod downward or upward. The last picture shows the depth by showing the 11” pan (including the lips that slide into one of 3 brackets holding them).I Baked a casserole for 30 minutes at 350 degrees and the top of the oven only reached 107 degrees (measured by a laser heat sensor). The sides were 90 degrees. I was also able to bake a 9.2 lb. spiral ham.As a side note, I was a little concerned about the 1600 Watt. In my kitchen I only had 15 amp circuits. I have never popped a breaker using this ovenI have seen some comments and concerns regarding cleaning the interior of this oven. I used a scrub daddy with hot water and a touch of Dawn Ultra. It cleaned up in a flash. Obviously I made sure there was no soap residue left.I couldn’t be happier with this unit.

Try testing the unit with inexpensive food first. This still applies.
I just received the unit yesterday, August 7th 2019. The unit is kind of heavy but looks very well-built. All accessories were included, 7. I did find out that the actual internal cavity dimensions of the oven are; 13in side to side; 10in top to bottom; 13 in Back to Front. The heating coils do take up about 3/4 of an inch top and bottom which takes away from the 10in overall height. So far the only thing I have tried to do with it is toast bread. Since the user manual does not state which rack height to put any of the cooking items, the middle one is usually used for toast. If you use the default toast icon, the top will be browner than the bottom. That is due to the two elements on the top and the one on the bottom. If you want your toast uniformly done, you have to play with the DIY function or turn your toast over and do it a couple of more minutes. Tried all different types of configurations, but stayed with the default toast function. I have not tried any other kind of cooking at this time, but I will. So far I find it very interesting to use and a challenge to get perfection. If anyone else has any kind of suggestions on how to correctly use this unit, please leave comments.Now that I have been able to use it more, I love it. The rotisserie function works beautifully with a 2lb pork bottom roast. Even though the recipes given in the manual are vague, they can be used, if adjusted for proper foods. Did the pizza thing. Bottom rack gives crisper crust, middle rack gives softer crust, but both cook top evenly. Haven't tried other accessories yet, but that will be in time. The only outside part of the oven that gets a bit warm is the top, due to upper burners. Wish there were more recipes for this particular oven. I am sure it can do a lot more, with guidance. It is easy for me to understand touch button functions, even at my senior age.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY
Unit never did work right. Arrived without a light bulb. Sometimes it would stop baking midway for no reason.We tried everything to get it to work properly. Never knew when it was going to turn on or not. Some days if you were lucky it would work other days when you needed it the most it would not turn on at all! The Rotisserie broke the very first time used couldn't take the weight of a 4 lb chicken..bolts holding the rotisserie pulled right out of the sides of unit. The bake setting cooked properly and browned okay when it worked, timer worked okay. Because there wasn't a light bulb you could not check on your food. The outside of the unit gets VERY HOT! Now they say it's no longer returnable

Arrived on time!
this arrived quickly! and it is a beautiful oven! it's sort of like pressure cooking with any pan you bake with! which is very cool. After cooking a roast, the steam in the oven was obvious. The only little thing is that this is not a convection oven and so you might have to turn your food while cooking. Other than that, the oven seems nice.
