Energy efficient, even-cooking, and highly portable, Meco's Deluxe Tabletop Electric Grill features an innovative infrared heating element and 200 square inches of space for cooking up savory hot meals on the fly. A 1,670-watt element emits infrared heat to sear steaks and chicken to tender perfection. Easy-to-control infrared heat cooks evenly without burning. The grill's variable heat control feature enables instant temperature changes from a steak-searing high to a bread-warming low, so there's no waiting or preheating. Unlike charcoal grills that emit an unnatural smoke when juice drips on the coal, the infrared element burns off the dripping fats instantly, smoking food with untainted fumes for a natural, savory taste. Plus, with the Meco electric grill, there's no need for handling flammable lighter fluids or fuel cylinders. The heat reflector is positioned so that it drains excess dripping that might otherwise fuel large, meat-cauterizing flare-ups, though it also retains just enough juice to fuel flames small enough to lightly kiss the meat for a perfect sear. And, there's plenty of cooking space for large cuts of meat, such as, roasts, thick chops, whole chickens, and fancy burgers with all the trimmings. One more cool feature: A dual level mode simultaneously cooks steaks at different temperatures when one diner prefers his steak rare and the other prefers hers well-done. The dual-level mode also keeps bread warm on one side while chicken bakes on the other.
Along with all these cooking options, Meco designed this electric grill for simple assembly, easy, economical use, and durability. First of all, the grill is made of high quality steel forms and tubing throughout. And, all components are coated with Meco's quality Dura Fuse powder finish for corrosion resistance and good looks. All critical electrical and mechanical components, including hinges and handles come preassembled, so there's no major project to face when the box comes. The tabletop and base attach easily with just a few nuts and bolts. Plus, this energy efficient grill costs half the price of gas grills to operate, and is six times cheaper than cooking with a charcoal grill! Best of all, the whole thing fits into most dishwashers for fast and easy cleaning. --Brian Olson

Meco Deluxe Tabletop Electric Grill:
Absolutely the BEST in electric grills. This is my third one in nearly 30 years of weekly use outside. Also stored outside--they last forever-almost. Food tastes as good or better than charcoal and cooks much more evenly in less time. Well worth the price!
Actually works:
Currently living in a condo that does not allow gas or charcoal grills so had to go electric. Past experiences were not very good with other brands but the Meco actually works. Does not get nearly as hot as a gas grill but if you let it heat up for 15 to 20 minutes and do not leave the top open it does a reasonable job. Quick assembly.
Not A Bad Grill For An Electric:
I gave this grill to my son who cannot have an open flame on his apartment patio. I never thought much about electric grills. Always thought gas was the best for cooking. However, my son says he's very pleased with this grill. It heats up fast and cooks to perfection. It feels substantial and well made except for the base, which could be a little bigger for more stability. If you need or want to BBQ with electric, you should be happy with this grill. Very little assembly.Meco 9300 Deluxe Tabletop Electric... more info
