I assembled the grill right under an hour by myself using the written instructions/pictures provided in the box. I needed help putting the top on and aligning the electrical box. Everything needed was included and I suggest using the skinny screwdriver provided so you can turn the screws in the small spaces. The grill was a little tougher to move by myself but I plan to move it to a more stationary space so that isn’t an issue. As far as usage, I really like that this is electric as I feel more comfortable using electric and this is more compact than the gas grill I previously used. The grilling plates inside are really nice also. I am impressed with how great my meat and veggies taste using electric too. Just overall a quicker grilling experience.
