This grill is amazing! Before I had gas powered Weber Q-320 and was very happy with it, but recently gas grills were banned in our community (some changes in Fire department code) and I was in panic how can I live without a grill... I tried many electrical grills a year ago all of them had highest rating in Amazon, and all of them were kind of slow cooking machines, but not a grills...
This grill is the real deal! Truthfully speaking not me, nor my wife cannot find the difference between steaks cooked on gas grill and this electric one. And the greatest thing it has automatic option. I tried pork chops, steaks and always had a perfect result! Vegetables were also great. Highly recommend!
Update on 10/25/2011
After using it about five times the grill electronic stops working, cannot turn it on... Be aware.... Lucky that it is still less than 30 days after I made the purchase, so can return it direct to Amazon and not to deal with manufacturer...

For grilling accasionally an outdoor grill is just fine. My apartment is wonderful, but no balcony. Propane is a no-no according to fire regulations. Well, I guess you can see where this is heading.I received my new Dimplex Convertible a couple of weeks ago and have given it a thorough trial, and I feel compelled to express my satisfaction with this unique piece of grilling technology.
I set the onboard computer and prepared my 2 inch NY Strip Steaks purchased at Whole Foods and placed them on the grill. I must add this grill is in my kitchen right by a window with a small two blade window exhaust fan in place. Remember, no flame so no burning or noxious fumes. I grill too often to go to the trouble of outdoor cooking.
Just as advertised the grill beeped and I turned the steaks over and I was really surprised that they looked even better than on fire grills. When finished the grill beeped again and we were ready for the taste test.
My friends, all I can say is.. WOW! This truly produced one the the best grilled steaks I have had and was I delighted. The large burgers, more like Salisbury Steaks, came out juicy and delicious.
Thank you Dimplex and a job well done bringing an extremely handy and unique product to market. Thank you...
If you spend a pretty penny for quality meats and want juicy perfectly grilled food everytime, then the Dimplex PowerChief Convertible will surely satisfy.
Just a note... it is working out perfectly indoors in the kitchen with all smoke going right out the window through the little window fan right behind the grill, and remember the entire heatup and cooking time rarely exceeds 20 to 30 minutes all without flame of excessive external heat.

It heats up well, is hot enough to cook food as you would expect, leaves grill marks on the food, but none of the smoky taste you would get with charcoal or gas. With charcoal and gas, I never paid much attention to cleaning the grill, and when you do the whole grill piece can be removed, soaked, scrubbed--replaced if really bad. Here the grill is integrally part of the heating elements and so you can't remove and soak it (and of course they caution against hosing it down as that would destroy the electronics). So my solution has been to soak a kitchen towel in soapy water, and put it on the grill once it cools down and let it sit there for an hour or more, and then scrub away as best you can. Unlike gas or charcoal you feel compelled to clean each time, because you don't have the flames (which I assume sterilize the grill.) The drip pan also needs to removed each time and cleaned. It has tiny set screws that hold it in place and need a tiny screwdriver--something you would use on eyeglasses. Why these aren't bigger and something you could just turn with your fingers is a mystery. Also to remove the drip pan, you need to tip the whole thing back and somehow not dump stuff in the drip pan our. Seems like this design could be improved. In the end, the actually grilling quality is much better than I expected from an electric grill--of course I wasn't expecting much.After all of the above. I'm going to buy another one for my son for a birthday present. So good to know what to expect but I think it is as good as gets for an electric grill
