We had/have a really nice gas grill. But, always ran out of propane at the worst times. Since we have solar on the house an electric grill really was appealing. This was definitely worth the change! It looks great out on the patio. It was easy to assemble. There is some wait for it to heat, but not very long, certainly less than the oven.  Being able to dial in a temperature is great and perfect for making pizza or baking bread. Size is good and the grates come out easily for cleaning.
