This grill has been super convenient when not having an outside area to grill at my apartment! It heats up pretty fast and has enough space to grill a few things at a time! The grill leaves the perfect sear on things like chicken and burgers and is literally so easy to use. Food honestly does not stick and it is a breeze to clean. This grill is now a staple in my kitchen! For a beginner griller, I would totally get again!
