I love this grill. There was a tiny bit of assembly needed, and it was very east to do. It is so convenient to use, and easy! Once you get used to it, there is no guess work as to the correct temperature to cook food at. It cooks evenly and the food is delicious cooked on it. We are in a condo where charcoal and propane grills are prohibited on the decks, so I was thrilled that it was okay to use an electric grill. It is fairly light weight, so it is easy to pick up and move if necessary. I would recommend this grill to anyone.

No smoke in apartment when cooking - I can finally put the batteries back in my smoke detector. Works really well - has direct and indirect heat, changes temps instantly. Food very good. Surprised - who knew? Never cooked on an electric grill before - but the building has rules. I have a tiny balcony. It fits!

Comes pretty much assembled - you attach the base - with a screwdriver, which I have. Cooking grid to dishwasher. Worked perfectly, with surprisingly large cooking grate for a wee grill. Solid - you can move it, but it doesn't feel tippy or flimsy. Glad I bought it.

We are retired and only have company now and then. This unit is perfect for our use. Still, it has sufficient capacity for the extra people without taking up a lot of space.

It's probably my 4th or 5th one. The features have changed over the years but it's still easy & efficient - no tanks to mess with is the best feature. Just plug it in & cook!!

This grill is very easy to use. Cleans up nicely. Cooks things great.

Best Grill I have ever owned! We have learned to line under the grilling surface with foil, Cleanup is as simple as changing the foil! Does not get any better. BUT Don't use it indoors, To much smoke!!

If you're like me and don't understand or maybe even fear the gas cylinder type grills, this is the grill for you. It's big enough to cook a good size meal and does it perfectly. It only takes a couple of times to know exactly how long it actually takes to grill something. Then you're "good to go." I even placed some water soaked hickory chips (very small pieces) beside the heating element the first time I used it and now everything tasts like it's been cooked on a pit or smoked. You can even cook cedar plank salmon on this grill with no problem. It's convenient and fuss free and you don't ever have to worry about running out of gas!!

This is a great grill with a serious design flaw. I use mine at least 2-3x a week. It works great for chicken, pork and fish. It will slow cook chicken to perfection on setting 1.5 to 2 out of 3 for some searing. However, the heating element is connected to the grease catcher. Food will drip on the catcher and in no time will surround the heating element which causes a short. My element shorted out at the 4 month period and got replaced free with no problems. Replaced with new element and decided the grease catcher would need cleaning every 60 days or so. Not an easy task to remove the grease plate. Before the 60 days of the last cleaning was up, the outlet would trip the ckt breaker, indicating the heating element was bad again. I will pay for a new element this time, but after using inexpensive electric grills in the $40 range from Wal-Mart that lasted 7+ years, I will modify this grill and not attach the grease catcher to the heating element, but lay it in the base and put chunks of lava rocks to catch the grease and create flavor smoke like the cheapies did for me for so many years.

Over the past 10 years, we're owned most every brand of electric grill, indoor and outdoor (in this price range), but this little Meco is more authentic when it comes to behaving like a REAL grill! Great flavor ---easy to use and cook accurately; clean up is simple. Meat AND veggies are "dee-lish" on this grill. Without ANY reservations, we recommend it and have to all our neighbors in our condo community. Amazon has made shopping online so easy for us, it is our # one source for buying this type of household item, and other small appliances.

Easy to carry, assemble, and operate. Instruction manual is thorough, though I didn't expect that it would come almost completely assembled -- that made setting up even faster and easier! I'm not sure why it didn't come with the cookbook it claimed was included, but that's a BIG deal for me, and wasn't happy it was missing.

Otherwise, it's everything the manufacturer states; the grill marks on the burgers were there, the smell of grilled meat without the worry of carcinogens from charcoal. Quick to heat up and cool down. Definitely follow the instructions for first-time use and suggested temperatures for cooking to get the best results. I was never a fan of messing with gas grills, and since almost all apartment complexes don't allow charcoal grills on your balcony, this is THE BEST alternative.

Happy Grilling!!
