This is an excellent grill for apartment dwellers like myself. Its compact size makes it easy to store and use on a small terrace. What is most amazing, though, is how well this grill works. I'll admit I was skeptical about using an electric grill after having to give up my trusty old 22-inch Weber kettle because our new place does not permit gas or charcoal grills, but this grill has by far exceeded my expectations. The food tastes every bit as good as if it were prepared on a gas grill. If you're considering buying this barbecue, then I think you should!
