 Not as bad as some would have you believe! Aug 27, 2007
By C. Henry
It is still somewhat early to review this product, as I have only used it 3 times so far. I have cooked chicken breasts, pork loin, and turkey burgers. The grill was quite simple to put together, just make sure before you start that you separate all of your hardware so you know you have it all, and you don't accidentally use the wrong item in the wrong place. I researched electric grills on-line quite thoroughly, and found this to be the best. Meco isn't even available in CO so I purchased it through Amazon with absolutely zero issues... as usual.
VERY IMPORTANT: To all of the people saying that they are cooking food on a slant and the food falls off onto the floor... they are putting it together incorrectly! Unless you are using the rotisserie, your cooking surface should always remain flat! The only thing that can change angles is the heating element, so that you can cook things more well done toward the back and more rare items toward the front of the grill.
Probably my only complaint so far would be to say that my heating element is automatically slightly slanted because that's the position into which it falls. I probably just need to tighten something, but I have not fully investigated it yet. However, it is nothing horribly significant. Also, the grill is smaller than most traditional propane grills, but I cook for only one or two people and it is more than sufficient.
If you can't go propane... go Meco! It's sooo nice knowing you will never run out of propane again! Also, cleaning isn't too bad, but I recommend placing some aluminum foil between the heating element and the cooking surface.

 Not Really For Me Jul 04, 2006
By TremorBoy
Too early for full review....used it only 3 times so far. Seems to work O.K. One thing I could say for sure! The slanted grill design is horrible. Food slides down all the time, and could fall onto the floor if your not ready for it. If Meco redesigns their grill cooking surface horizontal, I believe their product sales should increase.

 Never again..... Jun 30, 2006
By J. Craig
This grill didn't even last 6 months before breaking down. It never did assemble very well; cheap materials made for off-kilter alignment of lid to bottom so it would never close. Food slid off angled grill onto deck floor. I'm going back to Patio Caddie, although I will likely get the Patio Bistro this time. The quality of construction comparison is hands-down in favor of the Patio Caddie model. I hope I'm able to protect someone from a disappointing purchase thru this testimony.

Overpriced dangerous junk ! Nov 08, 2009
By Johnny Rafes
I bought this grill only because I live in a Condo which prohibits gas grills. It is essentially made from cheap stamped metal parts and is worth maybe $49. The single main problem is it catches fire all the time. This grill does achieve much higher temperatures than other electric grills. It does so by putting a reflector pan about a half an inch below the electrical element. The juices are supposed to run across the reflector pan and drain into the botton of the grill. The problem is the pan heats to 600 degrees and is only a half an inch away from the element. Fat is not going to run across a 600 degree pan. It ignites almost immediatly. The only way to keep this thing from catching fire is to clean the pan thoroughly every time you use it. A very messy job !
The routisserie spit turns on a cutout in the thin metal. It scrapes like crazy ! For $200 they could have thrown in a cheap bushing like most grills have.
There are rally no differnet cooking temperatures. The elemnet is controled by a simple thermostat. The element is either on or off. Sound familiar ? Yep! THis thing is nothing more than an outdoor toaster oven !
It is now in the dumpster as the last time it caught fire the folks across from me called the fire dept. The Condo associaltion told them I must have a gas grill on my balconey because electric grills don't catch fire. I had to let the fireman go onto my balconey to verify it was an electric grill. That was enough for me and into the dumpster it went !
