[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] WOW! This grill is a game changer on so many levels! For starters, the set up and assembly time was super quick and easy. First thing that caught my eye was the QR code to download an app with instructions on how to assemble. Putting an item together is so much easier when the directions are in 3D and virtual. The App allows you to view the grills installation process in a 360* view during each step, which is amazing and super helpful. For those who still prefer the old fashion instruction guide, don’t worry it’s in the box. Set up took the wife and I a little over an hour, nothing crazy though. Once we got it all together, we were able to see the size of this bad boy. It has more than adequate storage space under the grilling surface, which would normally be where you would store the propane tank. Also located inside the cabinet is a wire rack which holds the electrical components. I presume you could also use this area for storage since the electrical components take up less than half of the space. Two decent size side tables are included for all your prep or grilling needs. The grilling surface itself is grated which gives you the infamous grill marks. Directly underneath the grill surface is where the heating element is located, much like what you would find in your electric stove in your kitchen. The grill also comes with a removable drip container and wire brush for easy cleaning. We grilled burgers and hotdogs on it for the first time and to be honest, we really didn’t notice any difference from our propane grill to the electric grill. I mean if you ever owned or used an indoor hot plate or small kitchen grill (to remain nameless, but there are several brands out there) it’s basically the same thing, just allows you to make more at once. We are excited to use this and keep it in our travel trailer for summer camping trips. When camping season is over, we’ll get more use out of it on our deck. If you live in an apartment or condo and you are prohibited from using open flames on a balcony….this grill is certainly for you! I’ve googled a little bit and read that you could also throw some hickory wood chips or something similar in there somewhere to give your food that “smoked” flavor, so now I’m on a mission to see if I can possibly figure that out! This thing is a great addition to my grilling family, now I have electric, propane, charcoal and a hibachi style grill…I think my grilling setup is complete…just don’t tell the wife I’m eyeing up a smoker next.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy assembly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I assembled the grill right under an hour by myself using the written instructions/pictures provided in the box. I needed help putting the top on and aligning the electrical box. Everything needed was included and I suggest using the skinny screwdriver provided so you can turn the screws in the small spaces. The grill was a little tougher to move by myself but I plan to move it to a more stationary space so that isn’t an issue. As far as usage, I really like that this is electric as I feel more comfortable using electric and this is more compact than the gas grill I previously used. The grilling plates inside are really nice also. I am impressed with how great my meat and veggies taste using electric too. Just overall a quicker grilling experience.

I had a Char-Broil propane grill, but our new condo property insurance will not allow gas grills on the decks or terrace.
Pros:
Heats evenly on the whole grill surface
Wind does not affect the heating element. Sometimes the wind would blow out the gas flame.
You don’t run out of gas in the middle of cooking. Don’t spend time and money filling up the propane bottle.
Quality construction. Like the two locking wheels. Plenty storage space under the grill. I like the rectangle stainless side plate area to the right of the burner.

Cons:
Electric grill element takes a much longer time to reach the desired temperature vs. a propane burner. Ex. Outside temp was 95F. It took 10 minutes and 30 seconds to get from 95F to 350F.
Cleaning the grease and residue from the surface below the burner element is difficult.
I cooked fish one day. Washed the grill grates, then cooked hamburgers the next day. There was a slight fish smell in the burger.

Edge Electric Grill

Cooks nice and evenly. Temperatures are accurate. That part is very much like a gas grill. However, the self clean process does not clean as expected. The grill grates are very hard to clean. I end up scrubbing like crazy with dish soap and water and still they look dirty. The plate under the coils never looks clean even after doing a self clean. Don't know what to do.

It's an electric grill

Posted by: T in SC
Length of ownership:1 week
I recently moved to a condo and only alternative was a camping stove using 1 lb cylinders or go electric; I wanted something that resembled a full-size grill so went with this grill. After assembling I noticed the grates were not flush with warming tray and after further investigation I noticed the support pegs in the back were bent downward - result of overpacking the compartment as I've seen in previous reviews. I live near the ocean so not sure if this will lead to premature corrosion but after already assembling and breaking down the boxes for recycling I elected to just keep it and used a tool to lift the back supports into position so all grates were flush. I have a 15 amp receptacle and haven't had any issues. I have used the grill several times now and it works for me - I haven't tried using wood chips yet. It chars the meat but have only cooked kabobs and hamburgers/hot dogs so far - a steak will be a true test. The grates do stain up; after using the self-clean function and cooled down, I soak them in the sink with Dawn and use the stiff-bristled brush to clean any residual deposits on them.
