Rating - Great Chick Grill!
This is my second Char-Broil electric grill. I love it! So easy to use and food tastes just a great as when using gas or coal. Compact too for storage. A "must have" for single gals that enjoy grilling!
Rating - good for one year only
After barely more than a year, conveniently just outside the warranty period, our patio caddie burned itself out. I added some images to the image gallery for this product that show the extent of the damage. The plastic housing melted and the negative terminal wire burned itself to the point that it cut itself apart, and the unit then stopped operating. The connector's metal to metal contact appears very flimsy -it's jsut a very thing piece of metal that rests against the conductors on the resistive heater- and this part of the unit almost disintegrated with the amount of current that passed through. Now we have a $200 3.5 foot tall paper paper weight on our balcony.
I'm not sure how this could happen, the unit is only supposed to draw as much current as it needs. I'm sure how it could have been prevented though: better design. Stay away if you want a grill that will last longer than a year or two.
Rating - Convenience and good taste
I have three other grills, but my favorite gs grill croaked. I had an electric grill over 30 years ago but wasn't thrilled with it. Read reviews on this one and decided it was worth a try. It acutally preheats faster than the instructions indicatc, even in cold fall midwest weather. Have cooked steaks, chicken, pork and burgers on it, all cooked fast,food juices held in, flavor great, and I didn't worry about running out of gas. Cannot comment on longevity as I only have had it for two months.
