Here's another entry: American Harvest Convection Perfection CO200T. Picked it up for $30 at a local thrift shop. Note that this model has a safety switch and will not operate unless the convection oven top is correctly positioned in the plastic housing. These switches are trivial to defeat, but even that's not necessary: the Stir Crazy fits quite nicely in the plastic stand, just below the oven top.
Had to give the Stir Crazy/convection oven thang a try after hearing the praise from so many happy CGers. Unfortunately, my SC/CO roasts have not been anything to brag about. The beans roast very unevenly - more so than any other technique I have tried - and have a tendency to scorch. Disconnecting the SC heating element did not help. Probably need to add some of those fancy agitators to the stirring rod... Anyway, it all became a moot point when I got an Aerorost II, which I greatly prefer.
Incidentally, a tabletop convection oven is a cool kitchen addition in its own right. I've roasted chickens, lamb chops, salmon, potato, squash... even baked cookies in it!
Can anyone find some more info about this particular oven? (its max temperature, perhaps?), or have some experience with it? I don't want to end up buying something that isn't going to work well...

Hi Nick, the Sunpentown is 1,200 watts & works just fine as reported on other threads about the SC/GG. This unit is 1,300 watts so I would assume/think it would be fine!
Okay, that should be fine. My primary concern was: is it going to get things hot enough? but it looks like it'tal be fine. Their model number even sounds like they're just making a supentown clone...
