Char-Broil Patio Bistro
Extremely happy with our purchase of this grill. It truly is "patio" friendly. After years of propane grilling, keeping the tank in a "safe" zone when not in use and grilling approx. 20 feet from our patio (fire code) it is a pleasure and relief to be grilling under the protective awning of our patio and doing it legally! Even w/o the wood chip the flavor is wonderful and hardly a step down in taste from our old propane. Thank you

Great Grill for a condo
This was an easy grill to put together. We recently downsized and sold our home and Weber grill to move to a condo on a marina. They do not allow gas or charcoal grill so we had to go with an electric. I researched many types and so far we are very happy with the Char-Broil patio grill. I would recommend if you have to have an electric grill, very easy to install and use.

    Works as Advertised
    We recently replaced a well known brand outdoor grill with this one, and were not disappointed. We prefer electric grilling which is not for everyone, but if you are looking for a well made, easily assembled (if you can follow diagrams and instructions) electric grill, this one lives up to it's advertised "True Infrared" cooking results. We grillled chicken breasts on Memorial day by following the cooking recommendations and they turned out completely cooked on the inside, and very moist throughout. We found the unit easily maintains the proper temperature evenly across the grill and exceeded our expectations on the amount of time it took to complete the cooking process. The breast were the best we have eaten. We have not had the unit long enough to judge it's longterm durability, but from how it is made, and the matetials used, I expect it to outlast and out perform any grill of it's type. Clean-up was on par with most grills and the porcelain grill surface was a plus.

    I love my patio grill
    I don't have to wonder if I have propane, or briquettes. I simply plug it in, preheat, and throw my food on the grill. It's smallish for a grill, but large enough to cook plenty of food. My last one (which was stolen) didn't have the extra warming shelf, so this is a plus. The purchase from Walmart went perfectly. Delivery was faster than predicted and the price was the least expensive. I checked Lowes, Home Depot and Sears. Thanks Char-Broil Mfgr, and Walmart. And I put it together myself. It is basically the base/legs that need assembly. The grill is already together.

    Fantastic for the apartment dweller!
    Well.... I have tried many electric grills. Since I live in an apartment, electric is the only kind that is allowed. I must say after having to return all the other electric grills I have purchased, I am so glad to finally purchase one that actually lives up to the concept of grilling! I had saved the box as I had for all the others I purchased because I just knew I would be needing to return it, but to my surprise, I threw the box out the same night because this grill truly grills like a grill should! I was shocked how my steaks and burgers tasted so awesome and to have the grill scent enter my windows just let me know it was summer. I highly recommend this grill, it was easy to put together and is so true to what it claims. Finally, after all the other failures of other electric grills, I am so thrilled not to of given up on electric! I even put my potatoes, green peppers and onion dish in a foil pan on the grill and they turned out awesome! It has a very large cooking area so fitting the cooking rack in my sink to clean is hard, but I still manage to get it cleaned. I can not be any more thrilled with this grill and you can still use wood chips on the cooking rack for the smoke flavor how awesome is that?! You will be fully surprised on the high caliber results you will get from this grill. I love it!

    A nice little grill.
    Had this grill for about 2 weeks and not disappointed. Assembly took about an hour working at a relaxed pace. Quality seems good for the price, and so far it's worked exactly as advertised. I have used charcoal grills for years, and I find grilling on an electric to be a bit different. This little grill requires a bit of patience as it doesn't heat all that quickly. After about 20 minutes it reaches 500 or so, and the grate is hot enough to sear a steak fairly well. After 7-8 minutes you can turn a piece of meat and sear the other side as long as you put it on a ddifferent spot on the grate. I've also found cooking times to be a bit longer, but I gladly accept that since I no longer have to mess w/ charcoal. Admittedly the food doesn't have the same flavor as it had grilled over charcoal, but it isn't as bad as I originally feared it would be. I also suspect the flavor will improve once the grill is well seasoned and I learn more about how it cooks. So far I don't regret the purchase.

    fabulous, meets all expectations of cooking, flavor, tenderness, moisture. what a wonderful way to bbq. friends could not believe how tender and moist the steaks were and to think it is not carcinogenic like grilling on gas bbq. hamburgers stayed juicy and did not shrink, ifact they puffed up. price is great too. the price is higher at other stores and it has a cast iron plate accessory for pancakes, eggs, sausage. infared is the new way said our friends and family.

    Used twice so far, with excellent results - grilled marinated boneless skinless chicken breast, then whole chicken legs brushed with light olive oil. The skin on the legs formed a light crunchy crust. Also cooked small quartered redskin potatoes tossed in light OO & sea salt - also great results. Half heat kept the legs at a steady, slow sizzle. My old natural gas grill required frequent rotation from center to edges to cook evenly, so I have to get used to the idea of leaving the lid closed and relying on timing. Cooking seemed very even right to the edges. The grill is small but OK for 2 people, though my old vegetable and seafood trays are too big for it. I also have to remove the warming rack to get to the rear part - it would be nice if it flipped up out of the way without falling off. There was a little more to the assembly than I expected. No major difficulties but a second pair of hands would have helped at a couple of stages, to hold pieces in position while fitting the fasteners.

    Great grill for my small patio!
    This is the best grill I have ever had. The cooking space is huge but the entire grill is compact. I love not messing with propane anymore My patio has an electrical outlet so it is so convenient to just plug in and turn on. It cooks the same as propane, you would not know the difference. I love it and would recommend to all! I got the red, really nice....

    Great quality! Excellent Grill
    I first purchased a grill at a lower price point and took it back the next day. I decided to pay top dollar for this grill and am very satisfied. This grill is the best i have every owned and is far superior than my previous gas grills. There is no flame up with electric grilling and the design is perfect for anything on the grill. Most importantly, the 1700 watts will get the grill to 550 degrees for a perfect sear on a juicy, thick, ribeye. Great grill!! Better still, Wal Mart had the best price and the best money back guarantee! I use this grill almost everyday and love it!
