Title: THE QUALITY OF THIS THING IS GARBAGE
Product review: With a nod to the positive reviews, yes, while it works it works well. But the quality is 100% pure garbage. Within a few months all the markings on the dials rubbed off; ok, I could live with that. But just after the warranty period expired, the rotisserie mechanism broke -- when even a small amount of weight is placed on the spit it tries to turn but slips back, which tells me (I have some experience in fixing mechanical gadgets) that the gears in the motor mechanism have broken teeth. This of necessity means that the material the gears were made of is extremely low quality, since ordinarily gears (that are not being shifted, as in a car transmission) DO NOT get teeth broken off. For $80 I'm not going to pay to have it fixed, I will use it a bit longer, but be warned: the parts are made out of junk materials and it will break, probably sooner than later.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
