My condo association outlawed all open flame grills right before summer. I purchased the Lumin based on my love of Weber products and I just used for the first time to grill two ribeye steaks. The grill was amazing and aside from learning new cleaning methods and timing, the steaks were great and cooked to perfect temperature. Am looking forward to a summer of the Lumin!
The Weber grill and stand are excellent for an apartment patio. We've grilled eggplant, carrots, mushrooms, asparagus, and many more vegetables and they have turned out great. The assembly and operation are very easy and the control dial is great. It's so nice not to have to deal with charcoal or gas canister. 100% recommend.
One minor issue was when the package arrived, a few of the screws were loose or rattlling arround. It was easy enough to find the screw and re-tighten them though.
I like the grill. It gets hot fast but it also loses heat fast. It is also a lot of work to clean the inside of the grill. Food taste good especially if you add wood for smokey flavoring.
This grill has the power to really sear meat and vegetables and cook them quickly. It takes a bit of time to reheat even with a quick open, but this has not really dimmed its overall capacity to do the job better than other electric grills.
Living in a city that does not allow open flame grilling, Lumin Grill is a great option. Heavy grates gives good sear/grill marks, cooking times different than open flame, takes longer to heat up. Overall great option LOVE IT
We have been long timew Weber Q fans. But we travel in a travel trailer a lot and got tired of carrying around a tank of propane (and way too often forgetting to turn the grill off and burning up gas at night!) So we were delighted to see the electric option, which we have been using for a month. We love it. Easy to use and clean; gets very hot; good controls. Enthusiastically recommend it.
