I rarely write reviews. I have been wanting and looking for a grill to use for everyday use. I have a smoker, but its not ideal when you want a quick burger or steak. The Lumin has been just what I was looking for. Compact. Quick to heat up. No mess. No complaints so far.
First time with an Electric Grill - Had to get an electric because of the type of association we live in here.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not charcoal or gas, but really good

Let’s be honest, it’s not as good as charcoal, pellet, or gas. But, if you’re in a situation in which those aren’t options (such as a condo), this is great. It gets to 500+ with no problem. So far, I’ve cooked a couple of chicken breasts, chicken wings, and fajitas (used the griddle plate). All have been excellent.
There are a couple of quibbles, though. They’re not problems as much as a wish list. 1. Dual burners for direct/indirect cooking 2. Have the control dial go from 1 to 10 for a little more control. 3. Maybe raise the hood a little to accommodate larger cuts of meat - although, that may reduce the top temperature since there would be more air to heat.
100% love the Lumin grill , sears and cooks as advertised! Also as advertised it takes a good 15-20 minutes to get to 600 degrees. So as long as you plan ahead and get the grill roaring hot you will love this grill too.
I really like the grill. It was a lot more expensive then others but love grilling and other brand’s disappointed me. One thing I noticed is that all your grilling recipes are for all types of grills except electric. It would be great if you can provide more ideas on how to cook on them.
It is a great grill! It took me a while to figure out how to work it best, but after grilling something simple, like bratwurst, I got it down & had no further problems - I do realize that you have that piece that controls the temperatures firmly in inorder to get the full heat on it. The stand that I bought for it is another story:I have had problems putting it together from the first day - it is clumsly & hard to work with. I nee help!
So we've only used the grill once. Only did vegetables, but that said, they turned our as well as with the gas grill. It's small but large enough for our needs. Got great sear marks. Definitely gets hot enough though you really need to avoid opening the grill while cooking as the temp will drop. Can't wait to see how steaks do. This grill is perfect for places that don't allow open flame grills.
