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.
Grandeur parfaite et très pratique pour gens residents dans un condo.

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.

Love that it can be a stand-up or a table-top model. Easy to use either way. Was purchased for an elderly age home, they all love it and use it almost every day. Best investment ever made to make so many happy. Great price, and it’s electric , so will never be on a” BBQ-Ban” list during the Summer months.

I would give zero stars. Heating element is either defective or just inadequate. Took 35 minutes to grill 1 pork chop 1″ thick. No grill marks, no browning. Wish I could get my money back. Useless piece of equipment.

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!

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.
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.

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.

We have used this grill 6 or 8 times so far and love it. Addressing some negative views from others: It does maintain a set temperature according to where you set the dial. Thus the light goes off and on. We usually leave ours on MAX. Preheating on MAX for about 5 minutes or so really gets it ready. Hot dogs and hamburgers are great. Sear marks are always there for us. I let ours burn off on MAX while eating. I use crumpled aluminum foil to clean the grate while still warm. Follow up with paper towel. I wait a day or so and clean the bowl with a grill brush. First remove the burner by removing the 2 Phillips screws (very simple to do). I use another small brush to sweep the brunt drippings to the grease catcher hole after removing the grease cup. We use ours on a carpeted patio so we never use it when its wet. Caution: excessive grease accumulation will catch fire. Keep the unit in view always. Seasoning sprinkled on meat is very important. If the control ever quits working I’ll buy a new one.

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.

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.

Bonjour,
Je ne l’ai pas encore essayé, mais comme je suis prudente avec ma santé, c’est celui que j’ai choisi.
Merci!
