Only one one cook so far, and I am loving this grill. I live in Texas and the outside temperature for my first cook was 85 degrees. The grill got to an indicated 700 degrees in 25 minutes. I lowered the power dial and kept it at 600 for searing the steaks and then lowered it to roughly 450 to finish and cook the burgers. Everything came out perfectly! Folks that say you need charcoal or a gas grill to help impart flavor to the meat really need to try this Weber Lumin. I completely cleaned the grill after the cook, and it was surprisingly easy. I didn’t even have to remove the heating element. I brushed the grill grates, removed them and washed in the kitchen sink. I used dish washing liquid soap in water and cleaned the interior lid and bowl. Total cleanup time was 15 minutes. As far as flavor goes the ribeye steaks were delicious and the burgers juicy and cooked through. Overall very pleased, and I now prefer the Lumin to my Weber Traveler grill. Highly recommended! I haven’t tried the steaming, smoking, or warming functionality yet, but I definitely will.
Nice electric grill unlike the weber q2400 that never got hot enough and was impossible to clean. The q2400 quit working after 2 years, it was a real piece of junk. This new lumin seems better but lost faith in weber for selling the q1200 and q2400.
