I bought this grill in the spring of 2017. My wife and I were both a little leery about an Electric grill but as we live in a condo. we gave it a try. Well we were pleasantly surprised on how well it grilled. It's as good as any gas grill. We preheat our grill for 10 minutes and it cooks our food as quick as our previous gas grill. If your thinking about getting an Electric grill, Go For It.
