I bought this grill to replace a gas Weber grill because of new condo regulations about open flame grills. It was not a cheap purchase, especially when you add the cart and the cover, too. I'm so happy with the grill. It heats up quickly, and unlike other electric grills (based on what I've heard), this gets hot enough to even cook a steak. I'm grilling more often now than I did with my big gas grill. I've experimented with grilling different things, and as long as I follow the grilling guidelines, things come out cooked perfectly. The assembly (of the grill and the cart) was quite easy. The only thing I don't like is the fact that I need to clean the inside of the grill after each time I use it. It's messy, but I guess I'd rather clean up the fat residue from the grill than consume the fat!
