Excellent, I'm enjoying it! October 2, 2008
This grill is AWESOME! I'm preparing dinner, or just a quick burger or hotdog on it. The temperature is great and it is less messy. I know longer have to wait to light the grill...with this one just plug in and BAM start cooking!

I would recommend this to everyone.

Fabulous Patio Caddie Electric Grill September 30, 2008
My husband and I purchased a Patio Caddie Electric Grill 10 years ago. The only thing we had to do was replace the detatchable temperature control about 3 times. But remember, it was 10 years ago! Just last month, we purchased a new one simply because we wore out the old one! They have made major improvements regarding the temperature controls and it is built much sturdier and it heats even hotter than the last one. We absolutely love our electric grill. No fuss, no mess - just plug it up and start grilling! The food cooks fabulously - it comes with a guide if you don't kow how long to cook something. It is wonderful and we LOVE IT!

Good but there are limitations. September 24, 2008
Firstly, product assembly is overly complicated. It could have been designed much better...like snap-lock hinges for the legs instead of screws. The grill is meant to be assembled and left that way. It would be nice if you could "compact" it more easily for winter storage.
When you want to attend to your food, you have to find a place to lay the hot lid. There's no hinge or hook for the grill lid. The temp maxes out at 400 degrees...which is generally good enough. The aluminum inserts will get caked up with carbon and grease and are not easily removed for cleaning. I would say just replace them every couple of months but just the bottom one is 32-40 dollars on the net. Very expensive for what is essentially a piece of aluminum foil. You do need to cook with the lid on or the temp drops quickly and you can have a grease fire if you're grilling steaks, etc. If possible use a 20 amp outlet or make sure nothing else is on a 15 amp circuit when you cook or you may pop a circuit breaker.

Bottom line: I live in a condo that prohibits gas and charcoal grills. There are basically 3 choices...George Foreman, Meco or Char-Broil. The Char-Broil could be a MUCH better product but it does a better job on steaks than my kitchen broiler and the smoke doesn't set off my smoke detector because it's all outside.

Had my electric patio caddie for about 5 years and it worked great - my complaint is with the replacememt parts,mainly the electric heating element and the thermostat control.I have replaced them both twice in 2 years,which is a far cry from the original.The factory offers no help on the problem.

Great taste - great grill August 21, 2008
We moved to an apartment and could not use our gas grill. My expectations were not high on an electric grill but just had to try something. I just knew I was going to miss that unmistakable grilled taste. Being a smoker grill I thought would be a good choice to try to get that taste I wanted. I was shocked! This grill is fantastic! I see no difference in the taste at all. I know someone reviewed there was a bit of a difference but I just don't know what they are talking about. I've used charcoal and gas grills. It is Much easier to use! Heats up well and let me tell you I had it on full blast and it almost got up to 700 degrees before I realized it. So do watch this. I now use the thermostat control button as I just didn't know it would really get that hot. People talk about loss of heat upon lid removal but all grills are like this. You only become aware of this as the thermometer is right there on top of it and you are constantly looking at the temp. This is not a problem. The heat gets right back up just as with gas grills. No more scheleping to get gas refills. This grill is a gem. I highly recommend it to not only apartment dwellers but homeowners as well. I do not work for charbroil I just had to let others know this grill is all it says it is. FYI- You do need to ensure you have an appropriate high voltage outlet to plug this into. I understand if you don't you will not be able to reach the higher heat levels. I don't know this for sure as we have the proper outlet on our patio. This is the only issue I know could be a problem. Enjoy!
