BBQ Grill Review

Donna:

After trying to cook a thawed out steak of 1″ thickness on this grill for the first time, I gave up after 45 minutes! The steak was barely warm. I contacted the manufacturer who first wanted to send me another heating element. But this unit was also larger than I expected, so they agreed to let me return the unit. I had to wash it off and put it back in the box, but at least the manufacturer refunded my purchase price promptly, including the return shipping cost. So I gave 2 stars since the manufacturer was courteous about the return. Perhaps it was a bad heating element but I have never purchased an electric grill that did not work well.

I don’t leave reviews for things unless they really stand out as being a good purchase for me. My husband and I often talk about how impressed we are with this grill and how it’s easier than our gas grill was. I bought this grill because my new apartment complex did not allow open-flame grills on the patios. I searched amazon for the cheapest outdoor electric grill that got good reviews and decided on this one (it also comes in other colors, which had good reviews, but I wanted black). I had planned on buying a table to put the grill on, but ended up just using a wooden TV tray that I had which worked out just fine.

I had never used an electric grill before so I didn’t know what to expect – would it take forever to cook, would things taste different, etc. Turns out things taste exactly the same as I remember them tasting on the gas grill. I just preheat it on high for about 5 minutes, put the food on, close the lid, and come check on it every 5 minutes or so. I leave it on the highest setting all the time. I’ve grilled chicken, steaks, hamburgers, hot dogs, crab legs, veggie burgers and catfish. I don’t remember my gas grill cooking hamburgers this well actually. It’s not easy to burn food on this grill – I’ve forgotten about my hamburger and came back like 15 minutes later to find that it hadn’t burned the side facing down, just started cooking the other side, so I didn’t really even need to flip it. I use it maybe once or twice a week. I’ve had it for 8 months now and besides having a little grime on it because I never clean it, it works good as new.

Putting it together was easy, not very many steps, probably took 15-20 minutes. It’s a pretty good size, you could easily fit 4 hamburgers on there with plenty of room around them. I use it for myself and my husband though, so I haven’t put a ton of food on it at once. Amazon doesn’t have a lot of information or photos of this grill, so I would recommend looking on other websites for more photos and specs.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this grill, I can’t think of any features it is lacking that I need. Since I always leave it on the high setting, I just plug it in, cook my food and unplug it, it’s really easy.
