My honest opinion of this machine, after 4 years of ownership:

It's great.
-Made over 4,000 roti
-"failed" about 20 times during the process (It beeps at ya,you just pull a piece out, dump the contents of the cup and hit "try again")
-Didn't need to replace any parts.

Cost:
It cost $1,000 (new + $100ish shipping) at the time, and they had a program where if someone bought one using your code, they got 50 bucks off and you got 25 bucks. So I tossed this video up and tossed the code up on Twitter and about 60 people used the code, which got us around 1,400 which paid for the machine and a little left over. At one point, they started asking me if I wanted three free months of some TV channel instead of the 25 bucks, I said 'Noooope!" It was one of the few situations where we made out well.

Pros:
It's healthy. Makes decent roti. Can also make other things, but we use it for that mostly. Easy to clean.

Cons: It's EXPENSIVE. It takes a few minutes to warm up,(6 minutes for the first one to pop out, but it makes them 1 a minute after that) and it IS LOUD. But if you want to make a few mini pizzas or roti, turn it on, press a button and ten minutes later, you're all set. We know one person that got a DUD unit, and it was a huge hassle for them to get it serviced and repaired.

Have a good weekend.

I'm showing my ignorance, but I was all "WTF is Roti?"

I googled it, and I LOVE Indian food, the wife and I eat at a local place as often as possible... But I'd never heard of it.

Turns out they call it something different. Too many names, I can't even remember my favorites anymore.

Now, the real question. Will this machine make Gobi Paretha? I'd actually get one for that!

Thanks guys. Appreciate the time spent testing this.

Its strange, Youtube seems to sometimes just ignore a view or two.
