Edge Electric Grill

Freestanding plug-in electric grill (about 270 sq in) designed for patios and balconies where gas or charcoal grills aren't allowed.

$500Approx. MSRP

Worth considering only for someone in an apartment/condo where gas or charcoal grills are banned; if you have the option, a gas or charcoal grill will give more consistent heat control.

Pros

  • Can reach up to 700°F for searing without propane or charcoal
  • No open flame or fuel to manage, simple for apartments/condos where gas/charcoal grills aren't allowed
  • Consistent output once fully preheated, per several reviewers
  • Solid all-rounder for its class

Watch-outs

  • Self-cleaning feature underdelivers on its main selling point
  • Temperature accuracy is inconsistent grill to grill
  • Long preheat time undercuts the "quick weeknight grilling" pitch
  • Food can stick to the stainless grates without added oil

Known niggles

  • Advertised self-cleaning cycle often doesn't fully clean; owners still scrub with baking soda/vinegar or soak overnight
  • Temperature control can run 60°F+ off the set point, with hot spots up to 610°F when set to 550°F
  • Preheating to max temperature can take 30-40 minutes
  • Some units shipped with defective electrical assemblies throwing error codes
