Char Broil Patio Bistro Infrared August 27, 2010
sammar
This is our third Char Broil electric grill, owned the earlier models. Putting it together took about 1 1/2 hours. The cooking grate does not lie solid and level on its suppports, but it also does not tilt off them, so its okay. We fashioned a smoker with aluminum foil to hold wood chips and that adds great flavor. Like the extra cooking space on this one. All in all we liked the previous models more, they seemed better engineered, better quality and the cooking grate was definitely heavier. It is not easy to get between the cooking grate slats for ease of cleanup. The grease cup holder is better on this one.

I just purchased this "electric" grill hoping it was a new generation of "electric" grills that actually came to a "grilling" temperature. Unfortunately, this grill is no better than older models; it just doesn't get hot enough to properly grill food. After 1 hour of pre-heating w/the cover closed the internal temp only reached 375. The company, Char-Broil, told me it is the best you can expect. Bottom line: DO NOT BUY.
 Great grill for small spaces July 16, 2010

As a condo dweller, I've been a fan of the earlier model Patio Caddie for years. Reliability, fast/high heat generation, and never running out of fuel have been huge advantages. I've known about infrared grills for years, but knew they cost up over a grand. 'Saw this new Infrared Bistro model and had to have it! I gave my beloved Caddie to my son (who loves it!) and got this new model.
Putting the grill together was logical and straight forward. It did not go together instantly, but what's the big deal? I took it step-by-step and it came together just fine. When completed, the Bistro looks good; much more substantial and better styled than the ol' Caddie. Plus, the grill size is substantially larger.
'Plugged it in, turned up the power, and WOW! This sucker was up over 550 degress in about ten minutes. As I'd done before, put a small handfull of hickory chips into a foil pouch, poked a few holes in it, and tossed it on the grill and closed the lid. In a few more minutes the awesome aroma of hickory smoke wafted through the patio. Our first test was marinated sirloin skewers. As the meat hit the grill the intense sizzle was terrific. These cooked fast and clean, with that terrific hickory smoke essence.
I've now been using this grill almost daily for a couple of weeks with chicken, beef, pork, veggies, and shrimp and I love it! Guests are amazed.
Great Electric Patio Grill July 5, 2010

I have an older model of their electric patio grill (which still works great after 7 years of use) and just wanted to update to this new grill with a hinged lid and larger cooking surface. But my item arrived damaged and with one part that did not line up. Amazon did not have any in stock at the time of my return, so I made this purchase elsewhere. Return was easy and timely. This is a great electric patio grill, for those of you who do not wish to mess with the propane gas grills. It heats well, cooking surface is quite adequate. Overall I love this grill! Don't forget to order the cover made for this grill -- it will help to protect your investment from the weather.
IGNORE THE HATERS!!! USER ERROR!!!!!!! GREAT GRILL!! July 4, 2010

i'll start this review by saying I have sold grills for years and am a huge fan of the big guns such as Weber. Sadly do to living in a condo i can only have electric grills. In the past Char-Broil has made some sub-par items. Not this time. This is THE best electric grill option for under five hundred bucks. the people bashing it have obviously never grilled or assembled somthing as much as legos.
1- ITS EASY TO PUT TOGETHER- All these people on here complain as to how hard it is to put together. WHY? It took me a bit over an hour and a half working slowly and I didnt even curse once. Thats a miracles in and of it self. Simple tools, easy instructions, and not a ton of steps. There is a bit of lining up holes at one point but thats it. If you even have the slightest ability to put things together you'll be fine. Putting together Ikea furniture is WAY harder than this.
2- IT HEATS UP BLAZING HOT- Another complaint was that it didnt heat above 150 degrees. Mine will get to 600 degrees if left for a bit, within 20 minutes probably. It says in the manual don't keep lifting the hood it lets the heat out. This is true. If you keep it closed you should have not a single problem.AND I even use an extension chord which it suggests against and it still heats fine. Cooked a full london broil in under 12 minutes.
3- ITS ELECTRIC NOT CHARCOAL- Keep in mind its an electric grill. Its not gonna taste like a charcoal or gas grill. Wood chips help but its still not the same. But it is your best option by far if you dont have another option.
This grill is awesome for what it is. Ignore the bad press seriously. Char Broil has done right by this one. If your in an apartment or condo and dont want to drop $500 dollars on stainless steel electric monsters this is your grill. Happy Grilling
