VIVO Electric 12 Hot Dog 5 Roller Grill Warmer, Stainless Steel, Commercial and Household 750W Machine with Cover, HOTDG-V205

Our graduate had dreams of a hot dog roller stand at his graduation party. Looking at party store rentals, they were expensive, we had to figure out set up, and they didn't look so clean. We opted to purchase this one and are so glad we did. We got to practice making them ahead of time so we knew what to expect for timing during the party. We kept a small batch of hot dogs gently warming in a crockpot of water in a staging area, and then would just refill the rollers as needed. The machine heated them up evenly, kept them juicy, and was loved by all. The "sneeze guard" was nice for germs and keeping things from falling onto the rollers, the tongs worked perfectly for getting the hot dogs on and off the rollers. Clean up was a breeze. My graduate would prefer to have this set up in our kitchen for daily use (mom says no) but looking forward to pulling it out for game day, superbowl, and other parties. We've also seen these style hot dog rollers hooked up to portable generators on the sidelines at tournaments and for tailgating.... don't like hot dogs? Pretty sure tacquitos and other cylindrical shaped foods would cook on this (just check the internal temp before eating until you figure out timing). Highly recommend, no complaints about the machine and it seems like it will be pretty durable over time. This was the highlight of our graduation party (food-wise) and a hot dog bar was fun and easy to do.

First - we ordered this seven months ago and when we opened this and put it together, we found one of the rollers was making a grinding noise. We contacted the seller and sent a video . Keep in mind, this is seven months after purchase .. and the seller agreed.. it was not operating correctly . The seller sent a brand new one that we received within two days!!! Now that’s some customer service !!!!Second - this machine is awesome. Easy to assemble the hood with a couple of acres and you’re off to scrumptious hot dog land!! The only con, if you wanna call ot a con, is the kids want hot dogs all the time now .. best investment ever

Great product and was well packaged... it works great and hot dogs sure taste different as it cooks them well And one of the things to do is READ the instruction manual fully... I added to it (I think) as it says to put cooking oil on the roller sides but i sprayed the entire rollers and then when it is finished the rollers clean well and it does not look like you have even used it so to keep it in great shape for when you desire to use it put cooking oil on each roller on all sides of each roller then it is easily cleaned when you are not using it!! And clean out the tray when you are finished and you will see the tray will have more oil and liquids that come from the hot dogs when they cook... Now Enjoy the great well made product !!!

This works very well! Cooks evenly, easy to use and clean. 4 stars because the glass sneeze guard was not installable. The screws are screwed into the machine and need to be removed to install sneeze guard. However 2 screws will not come out.

recently went to Florida for a winter vacation. Motel was across the street from a 7 elven. They had a hotdog roller in there with hotdogs still at midnight. So every night I went over and had some. Got me to thinking, maybe I need a roller. Well when I got home I started looking. This is a restaurant quality cooker. It is all you need for a family of 4 or 5. Cooks them fast and keeps them warm. I have to put it on the pedestal with my 4 burner Weber grill.

This is a nice unit that has a surprising high cooking temp range up to 500 degrees. While the manual recommends only using the unit for pre-cooked items, we tried cooking raw brats at a fairly high temperature and it worked great. They cooked all the way through and were also nicely charred on the outside similar to how they would have come off the grill. Dogs cook every evenly and we also ran the temp higher than recommended at 350 degrees because we like ours blistered a bit as they would be from the grill. Overall, I am happy with this dog roller. The manual recommends cleaning the rollers with soap and water but given that we like our meats well done there was a lot of residual left on the rollers. I ended up soaking a paper towel in vinegar and wiping down the rollers. It worked great to remove the charred remnants and clean the grease off.

I got it today and gave it a test run with some kielbassa. Its solid and runs great. Cleanup was easy with a rough scrubbing sponge. I got the glass cover model. Easy to put together with only a phillips screwdriver. Im going to be using this at family picnics and my home poker games with the guys. Im very satisfied.

The media could not be loaded. We purchased this recently June 2024. We tried it out today. To be sure it works for my son's birthday party!! I'm so excited because the dogs were blisteringly hot pretty quick at 500 degrees. Like less than ten minutes. I mean if you plan to buy a hotdog roller, I can't see why you wouldn't buy this one. It cleaned up pretty quickly and was easy toWipe up with wet soaping paper towels. MySon said it looks just like the ones in gas stations ha ha
