Can't have gas or charcoal due to insurance policies where I live. Really bummed I had to sell my trusty old Weber gas grill. But the Lumin electric grill has been very good. I'm very happy with the purchase and have several friends in my neighborhood who also have the Lumin grill and are just extremely happy with it as well.
Compact and powerful. This grill is a replacement for my old Weber which I had for 10 years. I will take better care f this one. This other one was left outside and neglected. This new unit heats up fast and chars the meat quick. I cooked a steak and it was fast. You have to watch your timing. It usual takes about 6 mi utes to cook my steak to medium rare. This unit cooks it in about 4-5.
We grill, we grill a lot! We have gas, wood, charcoal, a Jenn-Air indoors and now electric in the screened-in porch. This Lumin grill was a Valentines gift to my wife.
We are getting ready to do a major pool build and outdoor remodel and this grill is just what we wanted in the screened-in porch in the meantime to replace an old Shepard gas drill.
The grill can get really hot (600+) for those strip steaks and it can also remain just warm to reheat/steam/smoke food. It really packs a punch that we've not seen from other cheap electric grills, and even more expensive electric grills.
The grill is lightweight and very easy to keep clean. I can easily see us throwing this grill in the back of the truck and plugging it into the bed for great tailgates and meals in the woods.
Weber has always been good to us and this Lumin Electric Grill has been no exception. Highly recommended!!!
Weber Lumin advertises that its temperature reaches up to 600F. I’ve used my grill over 25 times including three with a replacement temperature controller. My grill consistently underperforms. It takes ~30 minutes to pre-heat to 500F and never goes above this baseline temp (even with additional pre-heating time). Once the grill is momentarily opened and then quickly closed (to initially place food or turn it), the temperature drops precipitously 100 degrees or more and never returns to the preheat baseline. While this might be okay for foods cooked at lower temps for longer periods of time, it doesn’t enable high temperature sears. The primary reason I purchased the grill was for the advertised high sear feature and unfortunately it’s not lived up to the hype. On the plus side, the grill is extremely well constructed and offers multiple modes for cooking (steaming, smoking) but I’ve not used these features yet.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your feedback. We are surprised to learn that your Lumin is not getting above 500F. That is not the normal high temperature that we expect, and our Care team is here to help with your issue.
Please look for the email outreach we sent earlier. Thank you!
Good but not good enough, maybe good for an e-grill. It gets hot and sometimes after a while the temp drops.. and the weather outside is quite steady all year long. Grill is always clean.

The Lumin electric grill does a great job! Much better results than I expected. I really like grilling on one side and steaming on the other.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Weber Lumin grill is extremely easy to setup and works great. This grill gets hot very fast and is easy to control temperatures. This grill cooks food to perfection. I definetely reccomend for anyone looking for a small compact grill
