Nostalgia Electrics RHD800 Retro Series Hot Dog Roller

Great little hot dog roller!
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...

Fun Little Gadget
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 purchase
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.
