Editorial Reviews
Product Description:
This grill has a ul listed, variable 1670 watt heating element that plugs into a standard outlet. It features 200 square inches (16 3/8"W x 12 1/4"D) of usable cooking surface and a handy grease pan. Mecos innovative design offers the same barbecue flavor, but without the mess of lava rocks. The cart has sturdy tubular steel legs and fold down wooden side shelves that measure approximately 43 inches wide when up. The grill also features a complete 120-volt il-cul-listed rotisserie kit and a food-view window. This item normally ships in 48 hours.

Content: I know that there are some mixed reviews on this product. Assembly was pretty easy. Some minor parts were missing. For $.79 at the local hardware store it wasn't worth calling the customer service to replace the parts. I've been using this grill non stop for about 1 month with no problems. No sliding off of the food as other people have stated. The grill gets really hot, sears meat. Steaks have come out great. Chicken is delicious ! Obviously nothing beats a charcoal grill. I think this one does the job of a simple gas grill and was really my only option since I live in NYC.
Summary: Great Grill

Content: Last night I used this grill's rotisserie to make a three pound bone-in pork roast. It was perfect: browned outside; cooked throughout; tender and juicy. I've also used the rotisserie to roast a whole chicken with very good results.
Had I seen this in a store before I purchased it I would have passed it up. (I had an older electric grill that was cast aluminum and seemed more substantial.) That would have been a mistake.
This grill was easy to assemble. The fold down end tables are a good, space saving idea.
I've grilled vegetables, fruit, turkey burgers and turkey legs, hot dogs, sausage and chops. The tilting element makes it easier to find just the right place on the grill for cooking nearly everything.
Preheating the grill will sear meat, but it doesn't get hot enough to sear like charcoal or gas.
Cleanup is relatively easy, The reflector is not difficult to remove. The same cannot be said for material burned on the reflector. Scrubbing with steel wool cleaned most of the reflector.
This grill is a good substitute for gas or charcoal grills where they are not permitted.
Summary: A very good electric grill

Content: 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.
Summary: Not as bad as some would have you believe!

Content: I read the reviews and chose to try it out at my own risk. What I have learned from using this grill is that it does not get to the temp that I like and the angle they but the grill at makes all my meat to fall forward and have to close the grill and quickly as possible to prevent the meat from falling off. But it cooks the meat and I can use it at my apartment.
Summary: It not great but it works

Content: This grill is extremely poorly made: cheap materials! Pieces do not fit together. This grill will not last should you decide to keep it. Returned immediately to Amazon....
Summary: How Disappointing!
