Benchstar Compact Basket Rotisserie 8-12 Birds YXD-266E

The Benchstar YXD-266E is a heavy-duty electric basket rotisserie roasting 8 to 12 birds per cycle across four baskets, using radiant and convection heat across a 0-300C range. A heavy-duty 80 W motor turns the basket cage evenly, and toughened glass doors at both the front and the rear keep heat sealed in while letting staff and customers watch the cook. It needs a 20 A single-phase supply.

Why operators choose the YXD-266E

• 8-12 birds across 4 baskets — real retail rotisserie throughput from a compact 820 mm cabinet
• Front and rear toughened glass doors — load from the back and merchandise to the front, and the cook is visible from both sides
• Radiant and convection heat — radiant colours the skin while convection cooks through evenly, which is what a basket rotisserie needs
• 0-300C range — from gentle finishing and holding through to a full roasting temperature
• Heavy-duty 80 W rotation motor — turns a loaded basket cage steadily all day — the component that decides how long a rotisserie lasts
• Independent light and motor switches — hold product turning with the lights off, or light the display without running the motor
• Oil collector and rubber door seal — fat is captured and heat is retained, so the cabinet stays efficient and cleanable
• Anti-slip feet on a 67 kg body — stays put through loading and unloading

Specifications

Venue suitability

The YXD-266E suits chicken shops, butchers, delis, supermarkets, food courts and clubs selling roast chicken as a retail line. The dual glass doors make it a genuine merchandising unit rather than back-of-house equipment — the constraint to check first is the 20 A supply.

Installation & delivery

It draws its power through a 20 A supply, not a standard 10 A outlet. Confirm a 20 A circuit is available at the install position or budget for an electrician to provide one. Allow 820 x 630 mm with clearance to open both the front and rear doors, and site it where the front glass faces customers. At 67 kg it is a two-person lift into position, and the oil collector needs to stay accessible for emptying. Dispatched from our Sydney HQ with partner warehouses in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth for faster delivery Australia-wide. Backed by a 1-year parts and labour warranty — see our warranty information page for full terms.

Frequently asked questions

Q: How many birds does the YXD-266E hold? A: 8 to 12, across four baskets, depending on bird size.

Q: What power supply does it need? A: 240V single phase at 4.8kW through a 20A supply — more than a standard 10A outlet provides, so confirm a 20A circuit is available or budget for an electrician.

Q: Why does it have doors at the front and the back? A: So staff can load and unload from behind while the front glass faces customers. It lets the unit work as a merchandising display rather than just an oven.

Q: What is the difference between radiant and convection heat here? A: Radiant heat colours and crisps the skin, while convection circulates hot air to cook the bird through evenly. A basket rotisserie needs both to produce an even result across four baskets.

Q: Can the lights run without the motor turning? A: Yes. The light and motor have independent on/off switches, so you can light the display without rotating, or rotate without the lights.

Q: What warranty applies? A: One year parts and labour.
