 Great little hot dog roller!Aug 09, 2010

If you like hot dogs then you need one of these.
This is literally a "set-it and forget-it" cooking device.
Bought it originally for the office but now I want one for home.
Pros:
-simple to use
-easy clean up
-makes perfectly cooked dogs
Cons:
if your dogs are bun length you won't fit 8 but rather 4 on at a time
Let me address a few comments I've read above concerning this unit.
Yes, sometimes the hot dogs don't want to roll at first. Why? Because the way they are vacuum sealed squeezes them into a squarish shape. Don't worry once they start to heat and plump they'll roll just fine. As I stated above and others mentioned if you are cooking longer dogs you'll only be able to fit 4 dogs instead of 8. The bun warmer is more of a bun drier as others have said so we don't use that. The right knob turns the rollers on and the left knob controls the heat. We run the left knob at 5 o'clock and in 20-25 minutes you'll have a nice evenly cooked hot dog with perfect color and perfect temperature inside. We've cooked more than 100 hot dogs on this unit since my purchase less than a month ago, unit is still going strong with zero issues.
In conclusion I can't think of one bad thing to say about this unit.
If you are even a little interested in this item don't hesitate, order one, you won't regret it.

Fun Little GadgetDec 06, 2008
By R. Stephen Franks
I found this product to be very nice looking and well constructed. And, it worked as advertised. My mistake was using very fat hotdogs for the first run. Careful placement was necessary to get them to rotate without rubbing together. Regular hotdogs would have been a wiser choice. Between initial warmup and actual cook time, it does take a while, but it is meant to cook slowly while turning the dogs. The machine is completely silent when operating.
Cleanup is very easy with the roller assembly and drip pan removable. but one must wait for the machine to cool down first to prevent getting burned.
If hotdog stand style doggies are your thing, you'll love this machine.

a great purchaseSep 12, 2010

I purchased this item for our Labor Day party and was not disappointed! It was a big hit with all ages - it ran almost continually from Fri night to Mon afternoon and worked exactly as advertised. We calculated there were over 125 hot dogs cooked and they tasted delicious. Would most certainly recommend this item. Easy clean up, also.

Like It Very Much !!Mar 08, 2008
By J. Lane
I really like the taste of the hotdog after it has cooked and got all shrivelly on it. Cleaning it is a bit odd. Leaving the rollers in and cleaning with a damp cloth. It took a tiny bit of elbow grease.
Over all..I like it very much !!

 Nostalgia RHD-800 Retro Hot-Dog RollerJan 10, 2010
By Centuryrest
"Willie"
We went to use this for the 1st time New Years Eve. Everyone was excited because it reminded us of olden times. It started to turn then quit. The motor was turning but not the rollers. Very sloppy fit. I took it apart by prying the rubber legs off and taking 6 screws out of the bottom. Adjusted the motor mount so that the spindle went farther out into the roller spindle. Put it back together and it works great. Shouldn't have to do this with something new.
