So very happy with this! I have some limited strength in my hands. As a result of my poor tightening of a connection joint of the skewer, the chicken was lopsided and weight and balance caused the spit not to rotate completely. However we turned it off, unplugged and with the aid of heavy duty grilling gloves tightened the connection and success! My only comment in design would be to make the cord much longer (ten feet) as I had to move the grill closer to our outdoor power source. That was a feat as our grill is connected to our whole house LP via plumber installed gas line. I had to buy an outdoor extension cord with 12g (after reading the instructions for minimum 16g requirement of extension cord) as the remedy.
