For a low price, this electric grill offers several advantages. First he heated up relatively quickly (rather than 5 min 15 min as advertised) and the heat is quite powerful. Test "cooking meat" suitable. The surface was lightly toasted and still pink heart (even if it is far from the result of a charcoal barbecue). It has a large cooking surface and the heat is fairly well distributed. The tray is solid, thick, so it is not likely to be drilled. The few defects are rated small problems finishing the welding of the grid. It also remains to be seen whether the resistance and the very rudimentary thermostat will not give up the ghost too soon. In short! It's no frills but it serves its primary mission: to cook everything you can cook on a barbecue satisfactorily!
