After my old Krupps electric grill had given up the ghost, had quickly produces a replacement. Wary of electric grill experience from vacation, I have only once seen in the old grill the wattage. 2500 watts must be, otherwise you wait forever. Although crickets often is a collaborative event that grilling should be done at some point. Unfortunately, the Severin barbecue is not as good as the Krupps Grill since the heating coils are further apart. But he's better than anyone 2000W grill with safety. As with the car, you said earlier displacement should be replaced only by engine capacity, so it can be said at the barbecue: Watt has to be replaced only by Watt. At the car should still the drag coefficient, which is the form, voices, the somewhat narrower grill heating coils would be better. But the price-performance ratio is good.
