Cuisinart's Outdoor Electric Grill with VersaStand integrated adjustable telescoping base provides authentic grilling performance and flavor. Its small format fits easily on balconies and small patios - great for places that propane or charcoal grills aren't allowed. And although the grill is compact, its ample cooking grate is large enough to cook most family meals - 8 steaks, 8 hamburgers, 6 - 10 chicken breasts, or over 4 lbs. of fish! The grill heats up very quickly, and reaches temperatures high enough to sear a steak to perfection. The novel VersaStand telescoping base quickly transforms the grill from storage to tabletop to floor standing use, allowing the chef to enjoy grilling at a comfortable height. The stand is integrated into the grill for added convenience - making easy to store when finished. The grill plugs into a standard household electrical receptacle.

Title: Grillin and Chillin
Review: I love this little grill! Used it tonite for the first time. Grilled a fillet and even baked my take and bake loaf of bread on it. The steak was seared perfectly with grill marks and a little crispy on the edges and was so juicy it was perfect! Do not listen to those nay sayers. It makes a better steak than any gas grill or even charcoal grill. Juicy, and done to perfection. Loved baking the bread on it too. I just wish it was on taller legs of some kind. I kept mine table top size and put it on an outdoor metal table to cook on. Just the right height. Looking forward to grilling chops and a pork loin too. Bet it will make baked potatoes too. Heat it up really good and you are food to go. I also greased the grill which I always do anyway....Packing was ok..I bought a previously opened package and they could have done better on repackaging it to send it out again. They just put it in a bigger box with a piece of paper on top! Big deal. It luckily arrived ok with all the parts. I can see using it for up to 4 people if necessary. Very easy to put together bc it is already mostly together when you get it! One reason I bought this one. If I can do it anyone can!

Title: Works Well
Review: This review is from: Cuisinart CEG-980T Outdoor Electric Tabletop Grill (Lawn & Patio)We moved to a condo that does not allow gas grills on the deck. I researched many electric grills to see which one would meet our needs. After comparing reviews I decided to go with the Cuisinart mainly due to the brand. I have other Cuisinart products and have been impressed with the quality of their products.So far we have grilled hamburgers, hot dogs, brats and pork chops. We have been impressed with it grill. It takes up about 10 mins to heat up. When grilling it does put the grill lines in the meat. The meat cooks well but don't check it often, because the grill does lose heat when you open the lid. This is not major, you just learn how to cook this way.The only negative about the grill and has been mentioned several times is the grease trap. It is very small and needs to be emptied after each use. I have had an overflow yet, but we take precautions by putting and rug under it when I grill.I do like the looks and the compact ability of the grill. I am very glad that I made the purchase. I recommend this grill for people in my situation that can't have a gas or charcoal grill. You will still have the joy of cooking out.

Title: Terrible Grill
Review: Terrible Grill.I live in a high rise apartment so electric grilling is my only option. I purchased the Cuisinart based on brand name/reputation and am totally disappointed.1. Temperature control is a problem. As soon as the heating element gets red the controller shuts it off until it cools and then it heats up again briefly. It will never sear anything or give smoky barbecue flavor and rarely even burns grill marks on food. Cooking time is unpredictable and lengthy and eventually the food is cooked, but not as expected from a barbecue grill.2. The grease catch tray leaks profusely onto my tile floor. A mess. The grease tray is tubular shaped with a small hole in the middle, so it can never be completely emptied and can not be cleaned.I called Cuisinart about each of the problems and they refused to accept a return for refund. They courteously shipped a replacement temperature controller and a replacement grease tray. Neither work any better than the originals.Save yourself the disappointment and heartache and don't buy it.

Title: Perfect summer fun
Review: This was the perfect solution to having a little BBQ fun this summer. Not allowed to have non electric grills on high rise terraces so we can now have a burger, hot dog or anything grilled to perfection on this wonderful grill. Although it's small enough for my terrace it has plenty of surface space to make dinner for four. I loved that I didn't have any trouble assembling it into place and the clean up is a breeze. I love cuisinart products and have so many of them but this by far is my favorite.

Title: Not Great For Steaks
Review: I like the ease of use and the way it folds up and can be tucked away afterwards. The drip pan is small, but that didn't cause any problems for me. I have only used the grill twice and it really doesn't get hot enough to sear a steak, which is what you want to keep in the juices. I haven't cooked chicken or burgers on it yet, but the two steaks I did cook needed to be finished in my oven as it was taking way too long.I didn't give it four or more stars as of right now, but it's not a bad grill if you can't have a gas grill. However, I think Cuisinart makes a gas version and for the price I paid, I wish I went with that one. Overall, it's not a bad grill, but I would stick with gas/propane as electric just can't compete for cooking temparatures.

Title: It is unpleasant cleaning the cook box
Review: The grill is small. If you want to cook more than three burgers at the same time, this is not your option.It is a little difficult to clean.After several uses, the food starts getting a "certain" flavor that comes from the grease stuck in the bottom of the cook box. To clean it, you need a screwdriver to unassemble the heat element, clean the burned grease, and put the screw the heat element back. It is not difficult, but it is not pleasant.It automatically turns off and on at a certain temperature, which is a little annoying.

Title: Grilling made easy
Review: I have had this grill for a while now and it is the perfect electric grill for a patio while living in a condominium. I don’t have to use charcoal or gas and it has the same flavor when I cook meat or fish. I season my meat with hickory or mesquite smoke and get the same result.

Review: Great item for two retirees works well and is easy to clean. Have left it outside without the controls and had zero problems. Doesn't get super hot and would not be good to sear steaks but cooks them well but does a very good job. Good for two or three people but not a lot of room for much more.

Review: Isn't a gas grill for sure but definitely cooks burgers and steaks perfectly and doesn't make my condo smell! Easy to clean, especially if you put tin foil under the burners. Folds down nicely and compactly!

Review: It’s nice because it does not take up much room, but the cooking part is not the greatest, takes too long and will not get hot enough. I am not impressed with this product.
