I use it every day for cooking outside our RV.  No coals or propane to hassle with and the food tastes the same as a regular grill.  I never have flare ups.  The only reason I didn't rate a 5 star is because sometimes it's hard to fit the food in where the cover is rounded at the edges.   And I wish I didn't have to remember to hit the "reset" button on the electric cord to activate the electricity.
