I got this grill as a gift along with matching stand and cover. It was easy to assemble. The condo I own allows electric grills under 200 square inches on the balcony, in accordance with state law. I also have another Weber Grill which is gas, at another property, so I know their track record. I have cooked on it five times with no problem. It heats up fast and cools down quickly when shut down. My only con comment is that the electric cord could be a bit longer. If you need a longer cord, a 14 guage AWG UL indoor/outdoor cord would work (consult Weber and electrician). I have been able to make due with existing cord. All things considered a great grill that does what I want it to do.
