I had an electric grill before but it wasnt a Weber and after 2 years I literally gave it away.  It was ok on burgers but that was about it.  I got this Weber electric because my Lake cabin association wouldn't allow gas or charcoal grills for 2 years due to insurance issues.  This grill is no joke.  Even tri tip came out tender!  Its sturdily built looks cool and easy to store.  The people at weber even replaced the grates for free when I needed a new set!  I am a die hard Weber fan now!
