The installation of an app to assemble was slightly annoying. Also, the parts were labeled with letters but no where in the instructions did it mention which letter to use. This was only challenging when it came to the screws since there were a few different sizes. It only took about 30 minutes to assemble with my wife. She is the one primarily using this grill since it is very simple and easy to operate. She does not like having to light charcoal and wait and try to cook side dishes inside while a charcoal grill is going outside. This electric grill is more consistent and easy to multitask with. It did get very dirty after cooking  on it two times. Once steaks and once with marinated chicken. I do not think I let the self clean mode run long enough to get it as clean as I would like it. All and all a nice small grill for a quick and easy weeknight dinner.
