We previously had a 6 burner Charbroil gas grill that we had many years of grilling on but we decided to scale down just a bit since it's just the wife and me. We bought this grill and absolutely love it. We don't have to deal with propane anymore and can just plug this in while we're prepping food and its ready to grill in no time. It gets really hot too if you need it to. What I really like is that it cooks everything evenly across the grates. I haven't found any hot or cold spots yet. It seems to keep a consistent temp and the self cleaning feature is awesome. It burns everything to dust and then you can just dump it out the next day. Would definitely recommend this if you cook smaller batches of food. The food tastes just like it came off a propane grill also. Love it!!
