Default Question about rotisserie ovens (free standing)

Hi,

We had purchased a Ronco rotisserie oven. For several months, it was great,
the food was terrific. I liked a lot of the features.

But it broke. My husband, an electronics tech, said it was rather cheaply
made, and we became annoyed and threw it out rather than fixing it.

We would like to buy a new one. We would like one that is large capacity- so
I'm thinking 1.5 cu ft. We want to be able to roast a ten pound bird. Also
one with a timer of two or more hours would be good...some of the ones we
saw only went up to 60 minutes at a time.

My questions a are there any makes/models that anyone here recommends
other than Ronco?

Also-- the Ronco had baskets where you could grill vegetables, cook bacon,
etc. I did a net search and saw quite a few accessories for
convection/rotisserie ovens and saw that things like that are sold. I was
wondering if I purchased, say, a Franklin Chef or a Haier or some other make
convection/rotisserie oven, if we could use the baskets in it...I was
wondering if it's sort of a universal thing where they'd fit just about any
rotisserie oven.

Anyway, any feedback anyone has would be appreciated. We really liked the
one we had but want one that is constructed a bit better so we really don't
want to go back to the Ronco brand.
