Outdoor Electric Grill Reviews

There are too many great things to say about this little device: It's affordable to anybody, even if you are a student stuck living at school. It's compact, you can store it anywhere--a closet, your car, your office, the kitchen cabinet. It's powerful--I have plugged it in and in just minutes began working on an entire three course meal for six people with only this unit to work with. It's easy to clean--this is one of the few products out there that is every bit as easy to clean as the commercials show it to be on TV. It's is economical, using very little electricity to do a just that would waste electricity in a conventional oven or even an older model microwave oven. It's versatile--I have cooked everything from thin pieces of tempeh strips to thick steaks and it cooks both to perfection. You never would have been able to convince me to buy anything on TV before (and most certainly not from a former boxing champion...) but since a friend both this grill for me I have thanked them time and again (and in turn bought the same gift for many a friend of my own).

HAVE HAD THIS GRILL FOR SEVERAL WEEKS=WILL MAKE THIS SHORT AND SIMPLE=IT IS THE BEST GRILL I HAVE EVER USED AND I HAVE USED JUST ABOUT ALL OF THEM AT ONE TIME OR THE OTHER.EASY CLEAN UP. I ALWAYS LEAVE THE DOME ON THE GRILL AS IT MAKES EVERYTHING SO TENDER AS THE HEAT ROTATES AROUND THE DOME=HAVE DONE CHICKEN, STEAKS, RIBS AND THEY COME OUT PERFECT=I ONLY PAID 59.OO FOR MINE (YES, IT IS THE SAME GRILL THAT IS NOW PRICED AT 119.00}DON'T UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE IN PRICE BUT WOULD PAY THE HIGHER PRICE IF I HAD TO, AS THIS IS A WONDERFUL PRODUCT!

We really love the Weber Chill and have not had any guest to our home who hasn't asked where we got it and even how much it cost! We ordered the silver and would recommend to anyone ordering to get the two wire baskets (extra cost) to go with it. This allows you to stack many 12 oz. cans of soft drinks/beer, etc. Also would recommend keeping cooler out of harsh sunlight and turning up when stocked completely full. We entertain outdoors all summer and have used the cooler every day. Highly recommended!

Keeps the beer cold! I could stop there but I'll continue! Had party 2 weeks ago and moved the chill out on the patio so people wouldn't have to be going in and out the door every 5 minutes. Worked out great!

I keep all my can pop (soda) and beer in it so I have more room in my fridge. Everyone who has seen the chill loves it and 2 of them have even bought one for their home.

This thing rocks!! It comes packaged nicely and secure and sets up in no time. It cools down fast and is the must have patio item for your summer. Baskets are a must get. I will be chillin and grllin a lot with this badboy come summertime!!! Go load it up with your favorite brewskis!!!

Originally I saw my mother's George Forman grill (smaller indoor one with lid). Then I saw my brother's Party Size grill. Both of them love their grill. I was able to taste the food from both and found it very tasty and easy to use. I decided to do some investigating on my own intending to purchase the party size grill, when I saw the indoor/outdoor grill. I was impressed with the fact that it appeared to be a bigger cooking surface and the price I found was within reason. I purchased it for the purpose of using it as an extra grill for a cookout I was having. No one used the gas grill at all. I have since used it indoors without the stand, making it convient on rainy days. It is the easiest grill to use and clean that we have ever owned. You can cook everything evenly, because there are no coals to level out. It can easily hold 4 to 5 steaks, 10 big hamburgers, and the list goes one. I am sure there are some drawbacks to those that swear by gas/charcoal grills, but my gas grill has found a permanent residence in our shed, while George sits ready to use at any time indoors or out on our back porch. I am so impressed, that I am purchasing one for my parents for Christmas, to replace the charcoal grill that takes for ever to heat up and messy to clean. I'm sure they'll love it too!

This has become one of my favorite all-time purchases ... and the fact that I got it at a ridiculously cheap price thanks to Amazon's Gold Box offer makes it even better. I was impressed at how easily it assembles (and with NO tools, mind you).

It's blissfully simple and elegant, and has a large cooking surface. And it's easier to clean than the portable George Foreman models because the entire grill surface is not only non-stick but also IMMERSIBLE. I've got my grill sitting in my screened porch. I just load up the grill, close the lid and go back into the house to do something else while it works. It's oh-so-convenient and all the heat stays OUT of my kitchen.

Thanks to the large domed lid, I've even used it as an oven (again, without heating up my kitchen) for roast chicken and turkey. I love, love, LOVE this grill, and you will too.

I bought this grill 4 months ago and have used it several times per week ever since. I am a very lazy cook with 3 hungry teens and a hubby who eats like he's a heavyweight boxer. So, I needed something that would cook and clean-up as easily as possible. I can turn on the grill (it has an adjustable thermostat), take out a package of frozen chicken, hamburger patties, whatever, prepare it as usual, and the grill is ready to go to work. Dinner is on the table in no time. Its non-stick surface is just that, making clean-up simple and quick.
I am quite happy with the surface area, as I can easily fit 8 large burgers on at once. I live in the frozen north, so the fact that this grill will also work indoors is plus.
It's portable, reliable, easy to use and clean, and a bargain compared to other outdoor grills.
George put his name on a very good product.

This grill is great! Steaks, burgers, chops, etc. come out great each time. It is large enough so that if you have guests, there is plenty of room to throw on that extra steak.

One thing I like to do with this grill is to grill veggies, spritzed with olive oil. Unlike every other grill I have tried, cleanup is a snap, especially with the aformentioned veggies.

I have not used my propane grill since I bought this unit.

The one and only possible negative is that the numbers on the timer dial wore off after only a few uses. But it is no biggie.

After reading the mixed reviews I decided to purchase this grill and try it myself. Its amazing it takes up a good chunk of counter space but it allows me to cook two pounds of chicked breasts at a time. Unlike some of the previous reviewers I haven't had any problems at all doing this all two bpounds done after preheating the grill for 10 minutes and cooking for 18 minutes. Cleanup was a breeze I just wiped the grill down whil it was still warm with a soapy sponge and then rinsed. Some have complained about not being able to clean marinades or spices of of the grill without scrubbing. I didn't have this problem but I also sprayed the grill after preheating with a PAM non stick spray made for indoor grills. This is one of the best buys I've made in a long time

The bug off bbq light doesn't work.
The mosquitoes don't seem to be affected by this!

Nothing worse than being outside and being eat up by skeeters.

This works ok. I like it.

My BBQ Grill was in complete darkness before I had the Zelco Bug-off BBQ light. This light is very effective. It has a toggle switch for bug repellent (off, one bug type noise, another bug type noise, and then a dragon fly repellent noise). If you extend the arm, the light automatically turns on, with or without a bug repellent noise. This means you don't need to hear those high pitched noises (and you can hear them) if you don't want to.

My grill has no place to clip this on, but that is no problem. With the weight of the 4 D batteries, it sits securely on the side of my grill. In order to use the clip on though, you will need a totally flat ledge on the side of the grill.

I had bought the battery version of this pump as gifts for other turkey fryers and bought the electric one for myself two months ago. Used it for the first time today, all was well until the pump lets out a little smoke and quit after pumping 4.5 gal of room temp oil. I called the Eastman Outdoors help line and they were very good about offering to ship out a new unit but had no advice on why the pump died or whether this has been a common problem.

I'll see how the replacement unit works out the next time I do a turkey. Now I'm wondering how the battery versions I bought for gifts worked out in comparison.

This is a must have for anyone who has trouble lifting 5 gallons of oil in a slippery cooker. The pump is the same as the ones that pump kerosene. So you can get the same thing cheap locally if you don't want to wait for shipping. Fast, self priming, easy.

*** Don't try to move hot oil *** Do turn off flames ***

Hot oil will quickly melt the plastic pump and the plastic will stick to the sides of the fryer and ruin your oil and machine.

This pump is a step backwards from the previous two battery version (this one has three batteries). The additional battery make it too heavy on the top so it doesn't sit well in the pot. It has a tendency to tip over, or at least shift from the position you set it at.

I would agree with some of the other reviews that it seems to loose power after the first use. The thicker the oil, the harder a time it has. If you heat the oil before filtering, it works much better. Note that you don't want to get the oil too hot - perhaps nothing hotter than 100 degrees. I cracked the clear tube in my old two-battery one by running boiling water through it (requiring the purchase of this model).

If you can find the older version, I highly recommend it, but the three battery version is definately a step backwards.
