I'm planning to buy this product, should I be buying a newer model? Or is this the one to get?

I have this model and it works great. Prime Rib, chicken is awesome on it. Found pork roast smoked up the room too much from fat on roast but it was good tasting.

I did not know that a newer model existed. This is the one with the digital controls which I have found to be very easy to you. This is my second Ronco Rotisserie. I bought this one because it was larger than my other one which I have used for many years. I took the smaller one to my condo in NY which I use during the summer.

To the best of my knowledge this is the latest model. There are larger ones available but this one is perfect for the two of us. I highly recommend this unit. Everything that we have prepared with this Ronco has turned beautifully. I know that you will enjoy it.

Believe it or not this model came out 20 years ago. It is like a vita-mix, why change something that works.

I think you are making a wise choice. This is a good machine and replaced my 1st ProForm, which I used 8 years and it was a cheap model..$599. It still works too but is noisy. They make a great machine.

Same thing. Newer model is a little larger and has a full USB. The old one I believe is better because it's smaller. Both of them should be equally as durable

The one in your link is a newer version, higher power, difference design. Anyhow, it is depends, which design you like.

Get the plus. You can decide later on to purchase a second one to link with it. Totally worth it. I have a classic as well and the plus is newer model and sounds better. Its a little bigger and louder, and longer battery life.

Hi. I like the one I bought, but it looks like the other one has a few more features. I'd go with that one.

I don't know which model is the newest one, but I have the purple model, and I love it. It's a bit different and takes a while to get used to, but once you do, you'll love it too. I love the no- stick plate and the retractable cord. The steam feature works very well too. If you decide on this model, you will not be disappointed. Hope this helps.

Slightly but I would still stay away from this particular model and go with the newer version. When it was not in use and I turn on wifi it is quite slow connecting and I still can't use two wifi items without on being really slow. hope this got back to you in time

Yes, it's working good until now. If you have a second thought, go for some new models. This is a very old model.

Emily, the reasons most of the reviews are old is because this is an *old* model - it came out in 2010. In January, the tech inside will be five years old. I'm going to spend a bit more and get one of the newer models, like the ESAM5600SL

Since it's such a new model, I doubt you'll find it on sale right now. I did find a site that has it in stock, but I'm not familiar with the company myself. Here's the link if you want to check it out:http://www.techonweb.com/products/productdetail.aspx?id=A06FA5

Personally, I follow the philosophy/advice I learned years ago from Consumers Report magazine..."If the item sells cheap enough, consider it an eventual throw-away item" and save your money for its' potential replacement, rather than purchase an extended warranty...This is a quality machine and I have no regrets whatsoever.....Caveat Emptor.

I've had both. The newer model is more sturdy, heavier duty plastic parts, in general, a real improvement. Works the same, but I think it will last longer, I've had mine about a year now.

Mine is a piece of junk. If I had one like my original, I'd say yes. I'd say no for the present model.

I bought a new one for less than $20.00 and free shipping. Is it worth messing with for that price?

How many newer models are there than this one. I am confused as to which is the newest?

Haven't heard of a newer version but I know that some other xl's coming out are supposed to be having upgraded firmware. I would just read all the specs to make sure you are paying for what you want.
