I purchased this on Amazon to use outside on my deck inside of a screened-in gazebo. I had read all the reviews and looked at all the other electric grills for sale. I had a nice Amazon gift certificate so I figured I didn't have too much too lose. I am so happy I bought this grill! The assembly was pretty easy, although putting the wheels on was a little tricky. I found it best to hold the wheel nut with a pair of needle nosed pliers and then hammer the nut on the axle pin. It took a few tries but I finally got them on. I let it heat up for about 10-15 minutes then I put on some salmon steaks that I had marinated in soy sauce and maple syrup. I cooked them for about 7-9 minutes with the lid down and then flipped them and cooked them another 7-9 minutes. Let me tell you, this was the best tasting salmon I have ever had! There were nice grill marks and the salmon was char-grilled to perfection (I like mine well-done). I was so excited with how the salmon cooked, after dinner I cooked some chicken breasts I had marinated in barbecue sauce. Again, great char-grilled chicken! I am sold on this electric grill after using it for only one day. Hopefully it will hold-up and continue to perform well. I recommend this grill without reservation. UPDATE: I have now had this grill for over 2 months and have used it over 20 times. I still absolutely love the way it cooks the food, but I have found a couple of issues that might bump my original review from 5 stars to 4. First, the reflector pan tends to collect some char and other "debris" from cooking that will flame-up. It's important to try to clean this periodically, which is not as easy as I would like. I have actually had to put out the flames with water on occasion. Also, the aluminum foil pan that sits under the grill to catch drippings developed a small hole which was easily fixed by lining it with some new foil - not a big deal at all. I still recommend this grill and will continue to use it 3-4 times a week! UPDATE #2: After about 3 months of very heavy use the heating element burned-out. I emailed the company and they immediately sent me a replacement heating element at no charge (thanks to the 1 year warranty). It looks like they changed the design slightly to avoid future problems. As long as I had the thing torn apart I figured it was time to do a thorough cleaning of the aluminum reflector which had gobs of baked on char build-up. I soaked it in the sink and then used a wide blade screwdriver to scrape off all the gunk. It took a little bit of effort but was well worth it to keep this grill working its best. I still think this is a great grill from a great company that stands behind its product!

This grill arrived around 1:00 P.M. today and by 3:00 P.M. I had already used it. I am a 63 year old female who lives alone. This being said to alleviate the fear of assembly. If I can read and understand the directions then an average person with some knowledge of small hand tools ( phillips head screw driver, pliers, small hammer) should have no problem. It went together perfectly. My greatest challenge was getting the axle nuts on the wheels. Everything else was basic nuts and bolts being secured to one another. The cart is the only thing that required assembly. The grill comes completely assembled. You just put in 4 screws to secure it to the cart. I put it on the patio plugged it in and allowed it to cook off any packaging grease for about 15 minutes before using it for the first time. Then I inserted a temperature probe into it and let it get as hot as it seemed to be able to. It topped out at 425 degrees. Now I did have hamburgers ready to go on by this time too. So I opened it up and put them on. My burgers are not thin little things, they are a good 1/2 inch thick. The temp dropped back down to 300, but as soon as the lid was back in place the temp immediately returned to 400 within seconds. The burgers took about 10 minutes to cook through. I did flip them after about 5 minutes. I like my burger without a pink center and they were cooked perfect. The drippings created smoke that made the burgers taste like they were cooked over charcoal. There was one small flare up that went out almost immediately. The smoke was minimal and what I would expect of any grill cooking fatty meat. The burner unit is adjustable and moves completely to the back of the grill in a vertical position. This leaves the whole bottom of the grill open. This one does not have the rotisserie, but with the burner unit positioned at the back a chicken placed on a beer, or coke can can easily be cooked in the standing up position. Just set it in a small pan to protect the bottom of the grill, and make removal of the bird easier. Now you can roast a chicken at home just like they do at many grocery stores. Oh, after cooking the burgers I left the grill on for about 30 minutes to burn off the drippings on the burner unit and cooking grid. Before opening the grill I checked the temp again with my smoker thermometer and it was at 470 degrees. It was so hot that the exterior handle could have used a pot holder to protect my fingers. I know I am going to be using this little baby for everything. It is not flimsy or poorly constructed either, if you take care of it, it should last a long time.

This Meco "Americana" replaced a supposedly higher end model CharBroil Patio Bistro that went bad after 2 years (coil went out). Note: It's made in the USA -- A major consideration, especially these days. While the Meco "Americana" doesn't feel as substantial as the CharBroil, it is a FAR better grill in terms of heat distribution and cooking time. It assembles in about 20 minutes with basic tools and really isn't complicated. As with most any grill, you need to cook a couple of times to season it. It's better with each use. I am going to buy a spare reflector drip pan, as it looks like the original will need replacing after about a year, if I can't get it cleaned up. It does get some build up, rather than allowing the drippings to drain out into the drip cup. Operationally, that's my only concern. I'm only giving it 4 stars because I just feel the price point is rather high -- about $50 too high, in my opinion. But if you need a larger electric that will sear a steak medium (you really can't get a charred rare steak on an electric) this is it. The Char Broil's grill surface is too closed up and can't get it done. Veggies grill up GREAT on the Americana on medium heat.

This somewhat but not-too-tricky to assemble little grill is exactly what we needed for our condo. I don't even know if we are allowed to have gas/charcoal grills; I did know that we didn't want to be playing around with open flames on our balcony, so electric was the way to go. This grill heats quite quickly (~15 minutes), and gets hot enough to char vegetables, grill shrimp, and cook cedar-plank salmon just fine. We don't eat meat or chicken so that's not a factor for us and I cannot speak to how well it would work, though I suspect it would do okay. We use wood chips in foil to get smoke and foil to line the base and we are good to go! The oversized lid creates a surprisingly spacious cooking area, so we can even fit our cast iron pot in there with beans or whatever to keep the cooking heat OUTSIDE of the condo! To clean the reflector pan and grill I just soak in soapy dishwater and scrub with a dish brush (NOT wire) and/or sponge. No problem. I did my research and this product came up repeatedly as the best bang for the buck, and so it is. I won't ever spend $500 plus on a grill, and honestly, when there are products like this out there, I don't see why anyone would. Five stars! Tip: if you use wood chips, put the foil directly on the element (under the grill) or give plenty of preheating time for them to start smoking. Update: We have now had this grill a year and we still love it. It is soooo nice being to able to just decide on the fly to grill something and then fifteen minutes later you're good to go. I grill vegetables for salads all the time and I could NOT be happier with this product. We have it on a sheltered (partial roof) balcony and have left it out and uncovered for the year, and there is no rust and really no signs of wear whatsoever.

I did a lot of research before settling on this electric grill We live in a condo that does not allow any propane grills. The Meco grill makes a very good stand-in for a propane grill, but definitely does not replace it 100%. Still, considering our limitations for where we live, this has made us very happy. After a few weeks, it has paid for itself in use. Very easy to clean and somewhat easy to assemble. The manual that comes with this is an "all models" manual, making it somewhat confusing. Still, follow the instructions carefully and you'll get through it. Back to cleaning. I followed the instructions of another reviewer in that I always line the base with foil. Be careful not to have too much foil that can catch flames. Line the entire bottom and clean every other use, and you're good to go! Easy breezey. The grill rack is also easy to clean. I soak it in the sink for a little bit and then clean it off. Get one of those none scratchy brushes (OXO has a good one). A regular grill brush will ruin this grill and rack. Brush the element and let it burn on high for a about 10 minutes (per the instructions). This grill will give you a slight char, but again, will not replace the kind of char you get in a charcoal or gas grill. It stores well and is pretty compact when you fold down the sides. I love the side tables. It is sooo hard to find an electril grill with side tables like this. I could not recommend this grill enough to you. The only draw back so far is the temperature is hard to keep on high. Does not get hot equal to a grill or chargoal, but I've had it past 500 degrees, but for a short period of time. Note: This draw back is not enough for me to knock off any stars. It is still worth every penny. Wait for it on sale during the winter. Good deal!

This review is for the product pre-usage. I am not sure that I will be able to write a use-of review, as it's unclear that we will be able to use it. About three hours into product assembly, it is still not put together. Step 9 - where you are required to hammer the wheels on - was especially problematic because of the odd fit of the pieces and the tight space in which we had to maneuver the hammer. While we got one wheel attached - using hammering techniques I simply wouldn't recommend - the other wheel now will not be attached until we order a replacement piece because in attempting to attach that wheel, we lost a crucial piece below a deck slat. In step 10, when we went to attach the utensil hooks to the side tables, we found that 4 of the 6 holes were not drilled enough to actually allow us to screw the hooks in. For this step, we ourselves were able to improve the holes to allow for the hooks to be attached, but we should not have had to. Product assembly need not be so difficult. I have single-handedly assembled other grills in the past, and together we have assembled countless other pieces of furniture. These difficulties are not a result of user error. Rather, our problems come from poor product and part design. The wheels would have been more easily attached using a screw mechanism rather than the rod and cap mechanism they chose. The incomplete hook holes in the side tables were simply the product of poor workmanship. I am extremely disappointed with this purchase and would at least caution anyone who is considering buying this unit to take into account that the promised easy assembly is anything but.

This is my second Meco Grill. I use the grill 2 or 3 times a week, year round. It is very sturdy and a high quality product. Most importantly this electric grill generates more heat than any electrick grill I have used before buying a Meco. The amount of heat generated is important for grilling delicious steaks, chops and chicken, that taste as good as if they were grilled over wood or charcoal It was not too dificult to assemble. Since it generates so much heat I found to extend it's life it was a good idea to line the interrior with heavv duty aluminum foil, to keep the grill clean. My previous Mecco grill lasted 6 years and was still useable. Another plus for this grill is the fact the heating element and control mechanism are easily replaceable and costs a mere $40. This is the only part that might wear out after a few years of heavy use. It was a steal at Amazon for $129 with free shipping. It is worth a lot more. Don't buy the model with a glass window, because it will turn black with soot from cooking and be useless.

Grill does the job and is great for apartment living. Outside of a few issues with my order (next paragraph) i was content with my purchase. Assembly is pretty straight forward, although i advise to make sure you have a screwdriver and some pliers. The screws and bolts can be hand tightened, besides the bolt for the rotisserie lock, but you will be left with a wobbly grill. Do yourself a favor and borrow some tools from a friend. All positive asides. The Grill arrived with defects, which left me dissapointed. It had scratched paint and what appeared to be rust on the cooking element. Speaking of which, the adjustable element was loose and wouldnt stay in the "regular position. Lastly the grill was warped on one side, so the hood is unable to fit completly over it. Given Amazon says that its "new" really left me upset since it looked used and abused when i got it. Luckily the thing works fine enough, but i would of preferred if it looked nicer.
