This is my second Weber electric grill.  The national fire codes changed to allow electric grills on condominium balconies, 200 sq inch grill only.   So this grill was perfect.  Positive changes include a circuit cord with safety breaker.  My first grill did not have this feature.  With age this grill's cord and grill plug showed weakness and eventually shored out.  This new enamel coated cast iron grills are much easier to clean.  If you follow instructions and let the thing heat up you can sear steaks or any meat with temperatures of about 600 degrees.  Unlike any other electric grill you cannot tell the difference between the many gas grills.  I do have a portable gas Weber as well for camping.  This is perhaps the best electric grill on the market.
