    Aug 6, 2007
    Pros: size
    Cons: Everything operative about this guy; heating element is the worst.

    Summary: Absolutely the WORST disappointment. Okay, I admit that prior to buying this guy, I lived in a nice big house that accommodated the small sized Genesis Weber Gas grill which I had to dispose of when making the choice to move to a metropolitan loft with ... read more

    Pros: Perfect viable urban grill. Fuss-free. Plug, Preheat, Cook, Enjoy.

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 5, 2007
    Pros: Mobility, ease of use and size.
    Cons: Replacement parts which are nearly impossible to find.

    Summary: My husband and I received this grill, as a gift, from my brother-in-law. Our experience with this grill was great until it came time to replace the usual parts for it. It has loads of space, for such a compact unit, as the cover is rounded. This makes ... read more

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 17, 2006
    Pros: Safe, convenient,cooks a wide range of foods, easy daily maintenance.
    Cons: Deep cleaning is dodgy; worth paying extra to have it delivered assembled.

    Summary: I moved to a home with a deck, where I would not use charcoal, and I am too nervous about gas, natural or propane, to use it in more places than necessary. I wanted an electric grill, and was shocked to see that all the big stores here, from Fortunoff's ... read more

    Jan 27, 2005
    Pros: Easy to clean, reliable, attractive, perfect for apartment living.
    Cons: None so far.

    Summary: I bought this grill for my darling husband who insisted that a man is not a man without a grill. Unfortunately, when you live in a high rise with a small terrace and sticky co-op rules against charcoal, gas and propane, your options are quite limited. ... read more

    Pros: Compact, efficient, great value, quick to use and clean!
    Cons: Small cooking surface not suited for a Brady-Bunch sized family.

    Summary: I originally bought this grill in 1998 for mostly personal use. As a Florida resident, it can be guaranteed of year-round use. I use my grill about once a week. My intentions for a grill to buy were quick to use, efficient, easy to clean and durable. ... read more

    Pros: Small size.nice enamel grill. the best I saw of the small grills.
    Cons: cheap element like the plastic handle.

    Summary: Fair product for price. We bought it for a small deck without room for large grill. We always use high heat and with the lid on to get it hot enough. But after a month or so the plastic handle on top which gets very, hot broke with a small bump. I

    Cons: 90 day warranty, poor construction of thermostat and heating element connection

    Summary: I bought the Caddie Grill. It worked great for the first 4 months. The thermostat and the heating element burned out. Called Char-Broil, it only had a warranty of 90 days. Now I know why...I've read on line that this is a reoccurring problem with this

    Pros: nothing
    Cons: NO HEAT, BAD DESIGN.

    Summary: don't even bother buying it. my roommate bought one for the back porch. there is NO HEAT--it barely sears meat on high. The temp gauge never reads above 350-400 degrees, and it reaches that temp only after 20 minutes plus of preheating. we even

    Cons: Flimsy grease cup swings around when grill is moved.

    Summary: I love my Patio Caddy. I have had it for about 5 years. The first year, it had to sit outside because I had no place to store it in my townhouse. I wish it came with a cover. Since then, it has sat on my back porch. (I usually bring the power cord
