Electric BBQ Grill Techwood 15-Serving Indoor/Outdoor Electric Grill for Indoor & Outdoor Use, Double Layer Design, Portable Removable Stand Grill, 1600W (Countertop BBQ Grill)

First, this company has outstanding customer service. Put this together on a Saturday after receiving it, and the spot welded copper tang popped off the heating element. Luckily the company had sent a email when this was delivered. I used the link in the email to report the problem and they replied the next day, on a Sunday. After some back and forth to get more details about the problem, I was told they would just send a replacement grill, yes a whole new grill. Tuesday (two days later) it arrived at my front door. Needless to say, that made me extremely happy. I used the heating element out of the new arrival, and worked as expected. Finally got around to grilling with it, and it works pretty good in doors, with some issues. I included two sets of photos, four total. They show the grilling and one shows what is left over for clean up. That first grill (first couple photos), I covered the plate that supports the heating elements with foil, as seen in pictures in other reviews here. It worked fine catching the dripping juices until it started a little fire. No biggie, easy to put out. Just not good for an indoor grill, smoke alarms and all. Meat came out fine tho. Clean up involved scrubbing the actual grill, removing the heating element to access the foil, tossing the dirty foil, and wiping the inside of the grill. Second time (second set of photos) I didn’t bother to install that support plate and just covered the bowl in foil. Heating element was fine just sticking out without that support plate. That worked a lot better, as the extra distance away from the heating element avoided any fire starting. Clean up involved scrubbing the grill, removing the heating element, tossing the foil, and wiping up any leaks. Hardest part is scrubbing that grill clean, but that’s typical of any grill. Foiling just the bowl worked best for me, no fires, easier clean up. Of note, my lid sticks every time it heats up. I had to use two hands to separate/open it. Not a major inconvenience, just make sure you have two free hands the first time, not as sticking after first opening. Overall, if you’re looking for a indoor grill I would recommend you consider this one. Also, if your copper tab pops off, if you can’t spot weld it back on, drill a hole and screw/bolt it on. Of note, I bought this during one of them flash sales, but noticed it was cheaper, just slightly, a week or so later using the coupon. Either way, it’s a great buy.

Great Value for Your Money

This electric grill is perfect for 2-4 people, not for grilling for a large crowd. It is very easy to assemble and all the nuts and bolts are already assembled, so no searching for the correct wing bolts, washers, etc. It can be used indoors (great in the winter), and outdoors. Wish it had a metal stand, but I can figure that out. I agree that a Kona grill mat is useful and keeps the grill cleaner eliminating clean up of the grill itself. We invite 2-4 people to our patio, cook kebobs, and guests get their food at a social distance one pod at a time. This keeps us happy with grilling. No worries about propane exploding, messy charcoal clean up. Nothing beats a charcoal weber steak, but this is a great alternative for everything else--veggies, fish, scallops, burgers. Would recommend it!

Fell apart on second use. Does not get hot enough

I love it!!

Biggest issue for me was that parts were missing. And given that the assembly takes quite a bit of time, this was put off. I did try the grill though and it works well. Cleaning can definitely be a task and it doesn't get too warm so food like chicken would take a long time to cook. Maybe once the missing part is there, the heating get better. Not sure.

I have used the grill three times now and each time has been a success! For the record, I am not a grill enthusiast, I have never committed to buying one because I just knew that if I had to always plan ahead and get a propane tank, or a refill, or even charcoal, before I could cook out it would never happen - so for me it was electric or nothing. You plug in the Techwood, turn it on, and it's instant gratification! Also I was afraid with it being electric that the food would not have that outdoor grill flavor, but it definitely does. So this little grill is a great solution for a small outdoor space, and also for those like me, who want to grill on a spontaneous moment's notice!

If you're on the fence with this BBQ, buy it. It's great for our balcony since we can't have a propane bbq. I am writing this review just to show what I covered it with. Instead of paying $25 for a universal cover, I am using an Ikea bag and wrapping the handles under the legs and it works perfect for a cheap person like myself. Hah! The bags are $9.99 on Amazon for 2 and are also graet for hauling groceries and other stuff from our car in our car port The BBQ istelf works great and heats up fast unlike other reviews. It took about 15 mins to assemble. It's not easy to clean so we followed others suggestions and put down aluminum foil under heat source to catch grease and oil. It's easier to not use the screws that hold the heat source on by and easily remove it to clean or change out foil. Hope this helps!

I have gone thru 2 of these. Neither one lasted a year. The elements burn out and the replacemnets cost near as much as a whole new unit.. Generic elements do not fit. Too bad as otherwise they look and work well.
