If you are like me and forced into a no open flame policy at your residence, look no further, this grill works! I was skeptical about having to use an electric grill but am amazed at the solid build and power of the Weber Lumin Grill. It FEELS like a grill, It works like a grill. It is no suped up panini maker. I live right next to Lake Michigan and the 'spring' weather is brutal. The Lumin grill got hot (550+, 600+ if I let it heat up longer) each time and once it was hot, stayed that way. The grates are cast iron so they retain heat well. I cook out all the time (3+ per week) and it is always ready to go, even when the outside temp is in the 30's and there is a brisk wind coming off the lake. I have done a full rack of baby back ribs to lamb chops to steaks and veggies. No issues. Of course, it is not a gas grill and needs some extra time to heat up, and some food takes a little longer, but nothing unmanageable. I am simply amazed at how well the Lumin grill works. I wish to congratulate the engineers, designers, and everyone who helped produce and manufacture this grill. I guess I shuold not be so suprised since it is a Weber. My last gas grill was a Weber and it was the best one I ever owned. Now I am happy they put the same effort into an electric grill. I do not write reviews but I felt that this grill is such a 'life saver' for me to be able to still grill outdoors that I cannot express enough how impressed I am with the Lumin.
Perfect size for grilling up to 6 steaks at once Sears steaks very nicely as well Great addition for our terrace where we can only use electric grills I have been using Weber grills (charcoal and natural gas) for 45 years It was a little expensive but based on all of my previous Weber grills (quality products) it is in my opinion the way to go.
It is a great overall grill, could use an additional vent to reduce moisture on some things. Very happy to be able to grille with apartment ordinances of electric only. Have done steaks, sausages, dogs and burgers.
We live in a senior villa community and are not allowed a gas grill. We love the smokey flavor of grilled meats, so this was disappointing. Electric grills just don't have that flavor, except for this one! We purchased a small moke box and some wood chips and viola, smoky flavored meat.
I looked long and hard at all of the electric grills on the market, for the price point the Lumin is a standout with all of the extras that you can purchase there's not much you can't do with this grill.
The small Lumin electric grill provides the grilling needs of individuals living in condos or apartments. The grill heats quickly, cooks consistently, and cools quickly when the heats is turned off. The grill and the supporting legs are small enough to safely store in the limited storage available to residents in condo-type homes.
This is a great grill that heats very evenly, and can steam or smoke as you want. I like not needing a gas tank and I like it better than any of my previous gas grilles.
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.
