Weber Lumin Compact Portable 1560 Watt Electric Grill - Seafoam Green - 91070901

Moving from a single family home to a high rise apartment meant we could not own and use a propane or charcoal grill so we purchased the Weber Lumin electric grill. We figured Weber products are always highly rated, not cheap, but worth the price. We've owned Weber grills before and always liked the build quality and results. We went with the compact for our small outdoor terrace because it was just the two of us. I use the grill most nights all year. Even in winter and even following snow and the Weber always performed for us. After two weeks, I find the electric grill provides us with the same results as our old propane grill. North the same as charcoal but certainly good enough for us. I would happily recommend this grill to anyone in a similar situation. You won't regret getting yourself the Lumin grill.

I bought this grill. With a cover, grill cleaner, drip pans, and tax, it was $550. I got it. It takes a solid 20 minutes to heat up. It's been 75 - 80 degrees out when I'm trying to grill too. I think in cold weather, the grill would just never get to 550 or 600F. When I open the lid, the temperature falls like a rock falls out of the sky. It will go from 550F to below 400F within 30 seconds of having the lid open. It will not make it back over 500 before the items need to be flipped. Then the temperature drops like a rock again. In BBQ'ing, things need to cook at high temps and be flipped after a few minutes. This grill can't heat back up in a few minutes after opening the lid. It's too weak. I was skeptical that anything that plugs into a 120V, 15A outlet could be powerful enough to grill. Then I read it was insulated. I thought, then it could work. I still think it could but they didn't do a good job insulating it. If the grill is 350 degrees on the inside, it is very hot to the touch on the outside. That is energy just getting away. If they insulated it much better, perhaps it could keep the heat in from the underpowered heating element and do a better job. The real solution is to make a 240V two pole unit for North America. If a BBQ is electric, it should plug into the same thing that people plug an electric hot tub into, or an electric cloths dryer, or an electric car, or an electric oven. Not a 120V, 15A outlet. For $450 sticker price for the grill, it should be a good grill. Now I've tried using the grill 4 times. Every time, it has been weak. I decided I'm not satisfied with this grill. I'm upset. I want my money back and I don't want this grill. A George Foreman grill works way better than this $550 dollar patio decoration. Weber won't take it back. They don't have a satisfaction guarantee for the grills, only for grill accessories. I bought the grill new, direct from Weber less than 1 month ago. I've had multiple back and forth emails with their support as well as called in. They won't take back the grill or give me a refund. Honestly, they should not sell Lumin grills to anyone so save face for their company. My dad uses a Weber charcoal grill. It's the only grill we had through my whole childhood. He still uses it. I trusted them. They let me down. I'm disappointed in Weber now for making in inferior grill, that really should be called on oven and not a grill, and I'm disappointed in Weber for how they are handling this situation and refusing to take the grill back.

Works great, easy to clean, better than I expected!

We Love our new Lumin Grill! Meets fire code for our county in our condominium. It apears though that our element has developed a short in the grill won't work within a year. Customer service has been responsive. But the follow through on delivering the part has still not been completed. We recieved a close out notice for the completion of the delivery of the element but it still has not been delived. We can't wait for the part to arrive and our grill to work again. it has been almost a month since we have had the use of our grill.

This portable electric grill is just awesome. It has many features that much larger and more expensive grills have. Has a thermostat, a nice temperature range of choices, a steamer, attachment to smoke meats, the option to thaw meats before cooking them. I have grilled twice already and love the removable grates that can be placed in the dishwasher for easy cleaning. We are in our 70's and enjoy grilling a few times each month. We grill year round enjoying our grill as much as the leaves that change in the fall in Pennsylvania. I look forward to slow grilling prime rib, but so far have only grilled our steaks. The Weber brand has always been one recommended because of the quality of workmanship that goes into each grill. I definitely recommend this grill to all of my friends and family.

Since I can only have an electric grill at the condo, I think this was the best option. Heats up quick and cooks fast, but you have plenty of control of your settings.

Does it's job great. Cooking is fun and convenient. Very easy to clean specially when using Weber products.

I live on the 2nd floor with a terrace in a condo and this compact grill works. The food cooks up delicious.
