TravelQ PRO285E

The TravelQ PRO285E is an electric tabletop version of Napoleon's portable grill, with 285 sq in of cooking area and a 1500-watt 120V heating element.

$389Approx. MSRP

A smart pick for an apartment dweller or renter who can't use gas or charcoal, but a poor choice if high-heat searing is your main priority — a gas TravelQ will sear better.

Pros

  • Works where gas/charcoal grills are banned — apartments, balconies, some campsites
  • Heats quickly and holds a consistent temperature for normal grilling
  • Simple plug-and-cook operation, no propane tank to manage
  • Easy on the wallet ($389)
  • Light enough to move or store

Watch-outs

  • Not capable of steakhouse-level searing despite marketing claims
  • Draws up to 1,500W, close to tripping a shared 15-amp household circuit
  • Heating element is a wear part that will eventually need replacing
  • Tight cooking area (285 sq in) — small batches

Known niggles

  • Struggles to reach and hold high searing temperatures compared to Napoleon's gas grills
  • Exposed resistor heating element has a limited lifespan (roughly 3-5 years) versus other heating element types
