Product Description
If you like the Patio Caddies from Char-Broil, their award winning design and performance, but maybe want to step up a little as far as the overall look of the grill�this is the grill for you. The Stainless Steel Electric Patio Caddie, pulls all of the elements from the very successful lower priced models and adds the look of stainless steel. It is still the perfect grill for an apartment patio or small family, it still has the 187 square inches of cooking area, 1650 watt heating element, and 5-foot grounded electric cord with temperature control. The only real difference is the aesthetic. Stainless steel does require some care to keep its shine, but it definitely sets a high standard for the look of a grill.

This grill is fine for people with limited space, condo grill restrictions, or who hate messing with gas canisters or charcoal. Grill is adequate in size for a small family and heats quickly to a high temperature. In use, grill cooks well and cleans easily although I am not in love with the sleazy insulating pads used on the lid and grill proper. They don't look like they will last and I really don't see why they are needed. They get dirty the first time you use the unit. Don't expect to periodically clean the grill interior with a garden hose with these pads in place
The grease collecting cup hanging beneath the grill is as useless here as the ones on every other grill I have used. If it doesn't fall off, it misses catching most of the grease. Throw it out and set a bowl or coffee can on the grill base to catch the drippings.
Assembly was tedious due to poor quality hardware. I defy a user to assemble this unit without stripping several of the screws. I threw out the junk Chinese screws and used my own hardened steel screws. Assembly instructions were adequate
The design should have at least included a lid hook allowing you to hang the lid on the body of the grill while cooking uncovered. Where does one put the hot lid while working on the grilling food? On the deck? Have your spouse hold it? A good design would have the lid secured to the grill body with a hinge or swivel like the "Big Boy"grills.
Make sure you remove and store the temperature control/power cord following use as it is not weatherproof.
The self-adhesive temperature setting indicator disk on the control unit knob fell off during my first use. A little dab of epoxy fixed this defect quickly. I think Char-Broil should tighten up QC.
The price of replacement parts is outrageous.
If you get beyond my caveats, stainless steel construction is nice, the grill cooks well, takes little deck space, moves easily, and looks attractive in Star Wars R2D2 sort of way. Amazon also sells a reasonably priced grill cover that is a worthwhile addition.

I was surprised at the results from my Char-Broil electric grill.
Try cooking thick 80% chuck burgers without a single flame up.
My guests raved at the flavor. I also cooked zuccini coated with olive oil
and a dash of garlic powder; grill marks came through and they were wonderfull.
Very pleased with the grill.

This grill works well for me. I wanted something small that was electric instead of gas. It doesn't give you the full flavor of a grill, but is better than than oven broiler.
