So we've only used the grill once. Only did vegetables, but that said, they turned our as well as with the gas grill.  It's small but large enough for our needs.  Got great sear marks.  Definitely gets hot enough though you really need to avoid opening the grill while cooking as the temp will drop.  Can't wait to see how steaks do.  This grill is perfect for places that don't allow open flame grills.
