Rosewill Infrared Halogen Convection Oven R-HCO-11001

Pros: It makes good bacon and maybe a few other things. It is a handy appliance.

Cons: Doesn't seem to cook as well as other similar ovens. Then it doesn't cook at all after the bulb goes out which happened to mine after only a few months.

Pros: There are no pros to this it doesn't do the job

Cons: It look the same as the Total Chief and other models but this doesn't cook the same at all. I have another model it's great really all that I use at home I bought this to use on my boat but it doesn't work there is some cooking component not the same as the better models

Other Thoughts: Don't buy it.

Pros: I bought this from Newegg, a few months ago.
I use this oven, most every day (fresh rolls)

I use a pie pan to bake dinner rolls and biscuits.
I bake 6 dinner rolls or 3 cinnamon rolls or
6 biscuits in about 7 minutes. (after the dough rises)
I buy the dough frozen from the supermarket.

This oven is too short to bake bread.
The bread dough will rise too high.

I can broil a T-Bone steak in 12 minutes (6) minutes on each side. Hamburgers take a bit longer. Hot dogs don't take much time at all.

I use Shake and Bake or a seasoned coating for chicken and pork chops.

I haven't tried a roast yet.
When I do, I plan to use an oven bag.

I liked this oven so much, I bought one for a friend.

If the bulb goes out, I plan to buy another bulb or oven.
This oven is so much easier to use, than a regular stove oven.

Simply - Its great - for one or two people.

For $37.29 (on sale) Its cheaper, than the cost of using a a regular oven.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: none

Pros: It made good chicken when it worked (less than 2 weeks!!!), I use it to make food for my kids, you can do a couple pieces of fish or chicken in less amount of time than regular cooking, and using less or no oil. It is energy efficient. I think halogen oven cooking is very healthy and fast.

Cons: This is a cheap imitation of the popular flavorwave oven. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS POOR IMITATION!!! It looks the same, however it just isn't the same. The halogen lamp broke just after 2 weeks, it broke after 3 uses. Very heap construction, very poor performance compared to other halogen ovens, do your research and look for something better.

Other Thoughts: not happy with my Rosefill oven!!!

Pros: This oven cooked good while it lasted. It quit working after two months of average use.

Cons: It has a year warranty if you want to pay to send it back to get it repaired. I will not buy another one if it is going to last only two months. I am very disappointed in this product.

Pros: I like this convection oven. It does well with chicken / fish, just lightly bread and cook. Steak works too but needs searing for a good cook. Generally, foods get a crisp coating but stay juicy inside. Great for single folks and couples. Cooking time is not critical, you can set for 20 minutes and walk away - it will not burn food, and if more cooking time is needed (for larger pieces), you can easily give it another 5 minutes, it heats immediately.

Cons: none really, although it takes about the counterspace of a small microwave.

Other Thoughts: I place a piece of aluminuim foil in the bottom to catch the drippings. there's little to no splatter so cleanup is just changing out the foil and wiping clean. As far as maintenance, I like to turn the temp down and let the fan run for a few minutes after cooking completes to cool the bulb.

Pros: great for a smaller household of 1 or 2.Rich,Roasted taste to foods.

Cons: Cooking usually takes longer than stated,especially if you have lots of food on the trays.Best to cook at intervals of 20 minutes...Also racks could of had more narrow columns,so food,wouldn't slide inbetween.

Other Thoughts: Great tasting food,very rich in the flavors.Tastes like BBQ food

Pros: tasty food

Cons: non, if caution used when lifting the lid

Other Thoughts: If your unit dies early, it's probably due to jarring the lid while the halogen filament is still hot and glowing red. The metal is still soft and weak at this stage. Also avoid touching the glass of the bulb, the oils on your skin will cause the bulb glass to form tiny fractures and the filament then burns out.
Lift the handle first to shut the unit off. Wait 1 minute before moving the lid. Be gentle. You wouldn't be tossing a light bulb around.

Pros: cooks faster than reg oven
uses less electricity than reg oven
smaller than reg oven
Auto timer shut off

Cons: lasted only approx 40 uses
lasted 9 months
no replacement heat bulb to buy

Other Thoughts: If the company sold heat bulbs when it burns out, it would probably cost $30 to replace. Like buying ink for printer. Low price printer=high price ink. It's great when it still works. Now, the fan spins but no heat.

Pros: Worked well until today.

Cons: halogen would no longer work after 2 months. Have sent an e-mail to manufacturer, will see if they reply.
