These are high quality. They are the longest I've ever used, so even with a large campfire you can still roast your marshmallow without feeling like you are melting. I'm buying some for the people we camp with because they always steal ours!

My friends brought these marshmallow roasting sticks on a camping trip. They seemed a little goofy, but now I want some myself. It’s a must-have for people that love roasted marshmallows. They seemed well made and sturdy. I really like the telescoping sticks and turning handle.

These things are great for marshmallows and hot dogs. I've used the same pair for three years and dozens of camping trips. A mainstay of my camp kitchen kit.

These are the best toaster sticks. Got them as a Christmas present and I will definitely be giving these out to friends. The ability to rotate the stick is a bonus and the metal is pretty sturdy. Easy to clean off the marshmellow goo.

Our Cub Scout pack bought a couple dozen of these 5-6 years ago. They have been on many campouts, packed/cleaned/transported by several different people, and used by kids of all ages without the most ideal care. They have held up fairly well. We still have about 6 that aren't broken. The main problem is that the extensible part is like a radio antenna. Once it gets bent, there is no way to bend it back like new. Also, if a boy pulls it out with too much force, it can be pulled apart and then it's never the same again.I see others claiming that these are easy to clean. Maybe they are easier than other toasting forks, but when I'm the one who has to clean the burned marshmallows off of these, I growl about it! The "roller" part of this item is just a gimmick; it didn't turn too well but most boys didn't even realize that they are supposed to roll. They just twist it with their wrist anyway.We need to buy another dozen to replace the broken ones. I have searched online and found cheaper versions of extendable skewers. The prices range from 50-90% of REI's price. None of the others are as long as the REI version. The "slider" version is harder to clean. Another brand is chrome plated steel, not stainless. Plus, when you add in the cost of shipping, you get a compromise product for almost the same cost as these. Considering all the factors, we will definitely go back to REI to get these Rolla-Roasters.

We use this product at home and away to roast hotdogs and marshmellows.
Product is easy to clean and store.
The price is great as they come in sets of two. The overall length when completly extended is perfect. The fork end could be bent if not careful.
It's not really weak but don't use it as a light sabre.
I highly reccommend this product!!

I didn't even know they made marshmallow roasters until I stumbled onto these in my local REI store. After I purchased them I saw some at the local big box stores and none of them were as nice as these.
These are nice and sturdy, even when extended all the way out. Growing up I always used unbent wire coat hangers and they kind of flopped around a lot. I was worried about my kids being able to hold them and they didn't have any problems with the Rolla Roasters.
The only con was not being able to clean them off easily. I stuck them in the fire to get most of the marshmallow goo off and then scrubbed them and there was a little bit of stuff left on them. Also, they didn't turn too well, which wasn't really a problem because of the rounded handle.
