Weber Lumin Compact Outdoor Electric Barbecue Grill, Light Blue - Great Small Spaces such as Patios, Balconies, and Decks, Portable and Convenient

We live in an apartment with a covered balcony, so propane grills are a no-go. We tried a cheaper George Foreman electric grill, but hated the amount of grease that was pooled behind on the cast iron surface, and that we couldn't get good flavor or seal. We purchased the standard sized grill with the stand. Setup was relatively easy, although we did have a lot of issues getting the stand secured. The price of the stand seemed excessive compared to what you get. It is a standard plastic stand, and the side table that snaps on easily snaps off and falls down. For $100+, I would've expected something more secure and made of better material. The grill itself is amazing. The amount of cooking space and power is comparable to a tabletop propane grill. Preheating takes about 15 minutes, and it maintains its temperature throughout the cooking process. We get a beautiful sear on steaks and chicken. We're really looking forward to trying out the steamer tray that came with the grill. Cleanup has also been very easy. You preheat the grill, and then use a grill brush (not included) to scrape any residue off the cast iron grate. Cleanup of the grease chute at the bottom of the grill is a breeze as well. I also like that the grease can be caught in a disposable aluminum tray, although I'd love to see if there are reusable options out there to be less wasteful. All and all, we are so happy with this purchase. All in, we spent over $600 for the grill and the stand. But it was well worth the price! We are getting so much use out of this grill, and we've so excited for summer now!

I am really enjoying this grill. It takes about 10-15 minutes to heat up, so not much different than a conventional grill. But this grilled is double wall insulated and can get really hot if you leave it on high...we're talking over 500 degrees hot. We've cooked really good pizza on this grill using a pizza stone on the grill grate. I've cooked/smoked a whole spatchcocked chicken on one side of this grill using the smoke pan in the other side. Came out perfectly flavored and colored with apple wood. The grates are easy to clean (I'm using a nylon "cold clean" brush), and the drip tray is easily accessible from the front. Weber makes disposable drip trays for this grill. Best of all, it runs on a standard 120v outlet. No stinky propane, no flame ups from charcoal. Thanks Weber.

I love this little grill. Heats up fast. Cooks beautifully. Is big enough for my needs. Takes up very little room. Is cute as all get out. I could not give it less than 5 stars, because I love it so. BUT… as a fair review… it IS pricey, even pricier for the cute sea mist color which I could not get over, and it could be easier to clean. The grates in the sink are fine, but if you want to clean the inside of the grill (and I like to do that after each use), you have to remove the heating element with a screwdriver. They really should fix that (and give us first users a rebate!) 😉 The grill, the color, and the cover (to spare the color) cost over $500. That’s pricey. But for me, worth it.

I am thrilled to be able to legally grill on my patio. It grills very well and the food tastes about the same as would from a gas grill. It is well made and doesn’t take up much space. The biggest problem that I have with it is the smoke. A regular flame grill burns off the fat as it melts but this grill appears to turn more of it into smoke. For a condo or apartment patio this can be a problem even if it is legal. Keeping it clean between uses might help but taking it apart and scrubbing it down between uses is not that practical. IDK, if there was an easy way to line it with disposable foil that might solve the problem. The second issue is power. Most people don’t have a 20 amp outlet on the patio. I can get by with a standard outlet but every thing else on the breaker has to be off or it trips. It is what it is.

I love this outdoor electric grill, highly recommend purchasing. It's perfect for small apartment balconies that don't allow propane grills. Prior to this purchase I brought a different brand cheaper grill that couldn't maintain temperature, so I wound up returning. This grill heats up very quickly (approx 15 mins) and provides even heating with multiple settings including a setting for smoking and steaming and high heat searing. I purchased the additional griddle option and have half the grill with the grate and the other half as a griddle. This is great for toasting buns or sauteeing veggies. I'm pretty impressed with the sear it's able to get on the meat given that it's electric. In hindsight my only regret is not purchasing the slightly larger one to have a little more grilling surface area, but the price was significantly more expensive and this is perfectly adequate for serving 2-4 people.

I have been a very satisfied Weber customer for more than 4 decades, but my recent experience with the Lumin grill and more significantly Weber's customer service is the reason for the 1-star rating. If possible, I would have given zero stars. On the very rare occasions in the past when I've had to contact Weber's customer service it has been nothing short of fantastic. However, my latest experience with them has been the exact opposite. I have owned the Lumin Electric Grill since October 21, 2023. I purchased it as a replacement for the Q2400 Electric Grill which failed after 4 years of heavy use (no complaints). I purchased the newer Lumin grill because it claimed to pre-heat more quickly and sear better because it reached higher temperatures. These claims were true initially. However, in the past several months I noticed that the grill was taking longer and longer to pre-heat and never reached optimal searing temperatures anymore. I attempted to contact Weber to report the problem and found that they no longer provide a telephone # for support on their website. After a Google search, I found a # and spoke with a customer service representative and detailed my experiences. They informed me that they had created a ticket and that I would receive an email from a support person. The email I received asked me to completely restate my problem including the model and serial # of the grill (already provided to the representative I spoke with on the phone and documented in my product registration) before they could assist me. I provided the requested information and received a request to provide pictures of the heating element. Which I provided despite the fact that it required disassembling the unit. Weber responded with detailed operating instructions and power specs for the entirely wrong model of grill. When I responded that they provided me with incorrect information and corrected them, they placed an order for a replacement controller and provided me with tracking information for the shipment and informed me that I would receive the part in 7-10 days. After waiting approximately 2 weeks I discovered that FedEx had never received the shipment. I once again called customer service and was told that the part was out of stock for 6 more weeks! I explained that this was not acceptable, as without a working controller the $500 grill is useless! The representative stated that there was nothing more that they could do for me. I then requested to speak with a supervisor and was repeatedly placed on hold to wait for the supervisor to become available. Ultimately, I was told that the supervisor would call me back before the end of the day. It is now more than a week later and despite an additional call to customer service I have still not received a call back from anyone and I have a rather expensive paper weight sitting on my deck! I definitely do not recommend this grill or Weber to anyone anymore! It's very sad to see such a formerly great company fail so miserably!

Love, love, love our Lumin grill! We live in a 55+ one story condo complex. Gas grills must be used and stored at least 10 ft from the residence. It’s a pain and an eyesore. Our little grill can be used in our garage without compromising space. We’ve made salmon, flatiron steaks, hotdogs, and hamburgers in it so far. Everything tastes as good as any done on the big gas grills! It cleans up nicely, my hubby loves how the heat elements unscrews and unplugs so fully clean everything. The grates go in the dishwasher to make cleaning easy peasy! What an excellent design, worth every cent! Versatility: It cooks big grill in a small space!

I was somewhat skeptical with this purchase. Overall, it had a good star rating, but was concerned about some of the negative reviews. I used to have a Weber gas grill and still have a Green Egg (still my fav). But recently moved into an apartment complex while building our new home, and electric was the only thing acceptable. I purchased the standard, not compact. First tried burgers, just to get used to the heat controls. Burgers turned out great. Then a large, thick ribeye. Took a little longer than I am used to, for the right internal temp, but turned out with a lot of flavor, nice charring on the outside. Couldn't tell it was from an electric grill. It really does get to 600+. If it is really cold or windy, not sure if it will make it to 600+, but I was impressed. Now ribs. Heated to 550, included a smoke box, lowered to below the "low" setting, stayed at 275, Opened the lid to get it there, but it stayed in the range for 3+hrs. Ribs turned out, favorable and off the bone (once I completed the 3-1-1). Overall, I have to say this grill exceeded all my expectations. No complaints so far....it only has been a week though. I didn't get the stand, due to all the negative reviews, and bought a different one from Amazon. Less than $100, and is sturdy and the right size and height (see pic). By the way, the regular size will fit two large slabs of ribs.
