Is Airchef the ideal home roaster?

I have been thinking of making a Crazy Turbo or KKTO roaster. Doing an eBay search for halogen turbo ovens turned up the Visicook Airchef. The Airchef is a halogen turbo oven with a rotisserie function and a drum/basket which looks like it was made to roast coffee.
Specs are 13oow, 10litre oven space with a maximum temperature of 230 degrees Celsius.
Here are a couple of links with information;

Has anyone ever heard of this and do you think I could roast coffee in it?
note: I originally posted this in the Grinder forum by mistake, deleted that one and created this one.

It may work sufficiently to brown the greens into roasted coffees, but I think there're quite a bit of shortcomings.
1) RPM seems slow from the video (look at minute 4:06)
2) 230 Celsius (assumed for Max Environmental Temp) may not be hot enough?
3) Can we hear the cracks?
4) Lack of temp control
Behmor may be a better choice still for that style of roasting..
