I've checked out a lot of electric grills for my new apt terrace-This grill's perfect, it comes with the stand and does grill much nicer than I expected - the meats turn out very tender. The assemble took a while because I did by myself (couldn't wait for my bf coming to do that) but it's manageable. I purchased the small tray to place on the grill, so I can cook fish and shrimp. I will use them much often when the weather gets better.
