Question: Roasting whole chicken Any luck with roasting a whole chicken or does it have to be cut in half or quarters because of limited oven height?
Document: I cut the chicken in half when using with the Breville.I recommend, no matter where you put this unit, placing 2 side by side 1'x 1' non-high gloss ceramic tiles beneath it. And because I have mine on a metal rack, I also have a ceramic heat board/sheet, cut to size, placed on top of this oven unit to cut back some of the ascending heat. This unit has the entire rack-shelf to itself; I put nothing near it.
I use tis oven just about every day. I mainly roast vegetables and toast bread. You have to be careful when roasting vegetables as it roasts them very quickly due to the convection feature. We also heat up pizza, roast chicken breasts, make garlic bread.....This little oven was a lifesaver over the past month. We have several 100 degree plus days and I had no interest in heating up my whole house with my big oven.
If your kitchen counter space is limited, I would still recommend this appliance. I use mine to toast a half bagel in the morning, to bake egg rolls for lunch, and for pizza and small roasts for dinner. It performs very well. Because it is smaller than the oven in my stove, I would like to think it uses less energy for pizzas and roasts but I have no data to support that. It also has other settings (bake, cookies, etc.)
There's not too much I can say about this toaster oven that hasn't already been said in the over 1000 reviews so far. So, I'll just add in the bits that make me particularly love this toaster oven:1. Great size & quick heating - this little oven can fit more in it than you'd think. I find that my use of the real oven has been cut in half (at least, probably more...) since we started using this toaster oven. It heats very evenly as well.
I bought this because my old apartment had a terrible oven that had a temperature sensor that was out of whack and could never seem to cook food the way I expected. This product allowed me to cook things predictably and likely using less energy than using a full size oven, as most of my dishes aren't very large.I was even able to cook a full rack of ribs (cut in halves) on the included roasting pan over 6 hours that came out wonderfully!
So far I've just toasted bagels, and toast in it - which it does to perfection - perfect bagels. I've tried to get my wife to bake cookies and broil meat, but without luck. I think the thickness of the manual is a little disconcerting to her. Half of the manual is in a foreign language - French I think - so it isn't that bad. The instructions are very clear, and easy to understand.
We purchased 1 of these products and it worked very well for a year and a half. Without warning it went dark and would not turn on again . We complained to the manufacturer and they graciously sent us a new one. That one lasted for exactly 3 months  and it too would not turn on again . After the exact same failure a second time, we had enough . This time we brought a Cuisinart and hopefully we will have better luck
I cut a squash in half, scoop out the innards, salt, place it face-down on the baking tray and roast at 400 degrees (with convection) for 25-40 minutes (depending on size of squash). Then I flip it over and put in maple syrup and butter and roast for another 5 minutes. It is easy and my 3-year-old likes squash. The timer makes all the difference since there is no chance of overcooking while tending to one's child.
Fabulous at toasting and roasting and baking. Sturdy parts and even fits a half sheet pan. A great additional oven when entertaining
I got a remanufactured unit for about half price, but knowing now how well it works I would not have hesitated to pay full price. It has replaced my pop-up toaster, my toaster oven, and it often substitutes for the microwave and the full-size oven. I have used it for toast, pizza (frozen and fresh from scratch), roasting meats and vegetables, pie crusts, and reheating all kinds of food.
Answer: I think the space is pretty tight for roasting a whole chicken.  The top of the chicken would be too close to the heating elements, causing uneven browning.  Even cutting the whole chicken into pieces would overcrowd the roasting pan.  The size is more ideal for roasting 2 bone in chicken breast halves or several chicken leg/thigh pieces. Cutting a whole chicken in half would also work better.
