It had to be assembled which I did not like. After it was assembled, it was very flimsy and cheap. I should have sent it back. The silver grate that goes on the inside was buckled and did not fit correclty. It fits very loosely. Also the grate where the electric plugs into fits loosley. The whole thing is very cheap and I feel that I wasted $75. Should have bought a George Foreman.

We bought this grill to carry along in our RV. Since we seldom park where there is no electricity, it has been a great little grill; quick to get into operation, easy to clean and put away.

Over the years, we have owned several Meco electric grills, and have always enjoyed them. The heating elements don't last forever. They burn out usually after about 2-3 years of use, but considering the cost of propane, they are still much more economical than gas, and also less trouble. Just turn on the switch, and you're grilling. They cook very well, and produce great tasting foods. We highly recommend them.

Grill seems to work fine, very little smoke etc. Being it's electric it takes longer to get hot enough to cook on than a gas grill, but that's OK. My only issue was ASSEMBLY!! Ridiculous! It took forever as a balancing act and almost needed four hands. There are certainly a lot of people I'll bet simply could not do it. I had to get someone stronger than I was to tighten the handle screws. Also the numbers on the assembly picture are very difficult to interpret.

The grill works just great. I do nice thick steaks on it as well as veggies and fish. Great for lamb chops also. This is my second Meco 9210 grill. Bought my first one last year and used it as a table top grill. Decided to buy another one (the old one was getting too messy to work with) and mounted legs on it so it stands alone. Meco's other models on stands are too wide for my Condo's balcony. The 9210 is the smallest rectangular size they make and with steel legs that I added, it works out just fine for me.

I really like this grill! I live in an apartment complex, and gas/charcoal grills are not allowed. This is a great alternative! Very easy to use. The grates and the reflector pan can be put in the diswasher for easy cleanup. It's not the best looking grill, but it works great for the price! Putting it together was a bit of a challenge, directions aren't the clearest. You'll need a pliers, flat head screwdriver, and phillips screwdriver to assemble. A ratchet may also be useful for the side handle. It creates quite a bit of smoke while cooking - outdoor use only (unlike similar George Forman electric grills). I am one happy customer!

Meco grills work great and give you that charcoal flavor without the charcoal. This is probably the best brand. Although the charbroil grills are good too. The instructions for assembly are not real good but it only takes about 30 minutes after you waddle through their instructions. Steaks take about 10 to 12 minutes on each side for med well. Their booklet says 3-4 minutes on each side. Don't go by that.

I bought this grill for my son in Mn. He was a bit discouraged with putting it together.After using it a few times he says he likes it. Used it for steaks & chops cooking with apple chips to get the smoke flavor, & turned out great.This is a nice grill as it is portable so can be used anywhere and anytime, summer or winter.Quick and easy,not as good as charcoal, but cheaper. I have had one myself for 9 years and I love it.

I just finished assemblying the grill and haven't cooked anything yet. As I had read in the reviews, it was a rather difficult assembly job - harder than I expected. One of the wires on the cooking grid is missing a weld and it will sag under a load. I'll call the mfgr and hopefully get a replacement.

Had to buy an electric grill since the condo we moved into will not allow charcoal or gas. Grill is not quite as good as these others but better than not using a grill. My husband thinks the food is good tasting. I like the convenience of just turning on the grill and it getting hot quickly.
