Weber Lumin Compact Outdoor Electric Barbecue Grill, Black – Great Small Spaces such as Patios, Balconies, and Decks, Portable and Convenient Patio, Lawn & Garden

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to operate, takes up little space for balcony
The food tastes good, but not like a regular grill. Needs additional flavoring. Much less work to operate and worth the purchase and easy to operate on a porch or balcony.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow
I bought this for my twin sons away at College. They cannot have gas or charcoal on their apartment balcony so this was out best choice. Our family business sells Fireplaces and BBQ’s, charcoal and gas. I have long had a bias against electric grills, believing they don’t get hot enough or do a good job. This grill is awesome. It reaches over 600 degrees in about 15 minutes and has nice cast iron grates. It cooks AS GOOD AS my expensive gas grill. I’m very impressed and my sons love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for small 2nd story deck (one small complaint – I hope Weber is listening)
I didn’t have much in the way of expectations, but this grill hits the mark! It heats pretty quickly, gets very hot and the ribeyes I grilled this week would rival any cooked on a gas grill. It is a little heavy (see my only complaint, below). I spoke with someone at a company that sells lots of these and they said it will rust if left in the elements too long, so it will be a bit of a chore to bring it inside from the deck after each use. I may find something to store it in out there. It’s worth bringing it in – it’s so good you’ll want it to last.Only one complaint – while I did not purchase the stand, I know that it’s flimsy and wish Weber cared enough to create something sturdy – and on wheels – just as they do for other grills. Come on Weber!

5.0 out of 5 stars A BEAUTIFUL GRILL!
I really love the size of this Weber Lumin Compact Grill and the black outside casing with the top heat temperature gauge is just beautiful. It is being kept on my uncovered patio so I bought the bonnet to keep it protected. It has a high heat control of 650 degrees. Comes with accessories to steam and cook vegetables. The grill grate is substantial so no worries about corrosion if cleaned properly. Love the replaceable aluminum drip pan below. What makes it 3 stars for cleaning is the drippings go to the metal below before getting to the aluminum drip pan. This has to be cleaned. A suggestion to Weber would be to include some kind of silicone mat that can withstand 650 degrees and is removable which would make it easier to clean. Otherwise, I love this grill.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great
Right out of the box filet mignon cooked perfect medium rare in less then ten minutes. The ability to get over 600 degrees is a game changer.

5.0 out of 5 stars It’s better than most BBQs out there.
Heats up so quickly and is not even that small. The fact that you don’t have to deal with gas and worry if you have enough is amazing. Cleaning it is not that easy though so it needs to be done more often.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Grill
Gets up to 600 degrees. Great electric grill.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money
I love this grill! We have a fifth floor condo and this has been a fantastic asset. It’s a pain to go down to the complex provided grills

1.0 out of 5 stars Design Flaw/Lemon-Only gets to 450-500F..
Had really high hopes for this thing, but I have been very disappointed. The grill initially worked well and reached the advertised 600F temp (once), but after one month of use (grilled about once per week), the grill only reaches about 450-500F. This isn’t even enough to burn off the grill grates! Weber customer service was good and replaced the temp control unit, but even the new one failed to even get to 500F. But what really sucks is that since it worked well at the beginning and I was able to use it to cook food, I can no longer return it! You would think a $500 metal box with a heating element would be a straight forward product… also, it’s worth mentioning that the plastic temp control unit gets hot! During normal use it would get up to 170F. I guess that’s normal, but I don’t like the idea of the only electrical component getting so hot.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Electric Grill – Has a Few Bumps About It
We had been wanting to get a nice grill for quite a while. We considered using our natural gas and really going big, but just never did it. Charcoal & propane are huge hassles to keep up with. Choosing the Weber Lumin Outdoor Electric Grill was an easy decision for me.First, it does not come with a stand, which is a huge bummer. I will probably buy the stand down the road.The grill comes with instructions for French, English & Spanish users. I read through it all because I did not want to mess up the new grill!Before every use, you are instructed to heat up the grill to 500 degrees, for up to 20 minutes. That was easy. The temperature gauge is super easy to read and quite interesting to watch, as the temperature plummets every time you open the cover to check your food.There are extra pans to use for steaming & searing, but we went right for the grill feature, and bought some nice ribeye steaks to grill. I was so concerned about the grease getting on the heating elements, but that was never a problem.The steaks cooked nicely and tasted fantastic. They had sear marks and looked beautiful. I also threw some fresh asparagus on the grill and it turned out great.After the grill cooled down, I assessed the damage and the aluminum base that sets under the element is pretty nasty with grease & burned on gunk, after cooking 4 steaks. Sure, I emptied out the bottom pan that is removable, but cleaning the burned on stuff from the inside is pretty difficult. You can’t just pull the heating element out, you have to try to clean under it, around, etc. It’s not easy. I used some orange degreaser cleaner and almost a full roll of paper towels, and its still dirty. Also, the instructions say not to use a foil liner.So is the plan to just live with a dirty grill? That just feels wrong but I guess its part of grilling.I love this grill so far and do plan on keeping it and using it. Cooking outside is the bomb in good weather. I just have the two issues, which again, this grill does not come with a stand and the stand is almost another $200 if purchased separately, and the cleaning is nearly impossible. Otherwise, for an electric grill, its fantastic.6 months add on review: I still like the grill but the hard to clean thing is a pain. Grease builds up, catches fire. When the grill is too hot, the temperature gauge shuts off. You have to unplug the grill, reset it. After the unit cools down, the gauge starts working again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very high quality
Update 3/6/23:I have to take away a star. The grill is, as I said before, high quality and works really well. So I decided to use the smoke infusion on my steak. As per instructions, I set it to the smoke setting, let it get smoking good and put on my steaks. I left it for a bit, as the smoke setting for all other devices I own is 225-275, I was expecting to smoke for 30-45 minutes and check the temp. But since it was unfamiliar, I checked at 15 minutes, and the temp was 450 degrees! My steak was already 145 and I hadn’t had a chance to sear yet. Maybe partly my fault for assuming, but I did think smoke was a lower temp function to give time for smoke to be absorbed. Nothing in the manual led me to think otherwise. Sigh! Will know better next time!Original review:This grill appears to be really high quality, as I would expect from Weber. I need to wait for better weather to try to cook with it, which is the most important thing for a grill, but I wanted to go ahead and get a few things out there. I’ll update with cooking results. I have a couple of small sirloins waiting for the severe weather to pass.First, this thing is HEAVY! It is not something I would want to carry around. I have it on a rolling cart right now, maybe someday I will update to the cart that’s made for it, but it’s pretty costly.Assembly is – well, there is no real assembly. There is a ton of packaging to be removed (it is very well packaged) but basically you just unpack the parts and set them in.It seems to be great quality, and it looks like it will do well for what it is intended for. I own a Ninja Woodfire grill, and this will fill in some of the things the Woodfire can’t do (steaming, high temp, etc.). It can easily be configured for different modes (steaming, smoking, grilling, etc.) as shown in the product description. It comes with 2 grill grates, a solid pan and a slotted pan (each of which is the size of one grill grate), so you take out one or two of the grill grates and replace with the pans for the different modes.The grease from cooking drains down into a catch pan, and they include one aluminum disposable liner for the catch pan. Replacement disposable pans are (as usual) kinda costly, so probably can use some aluminum foil to prolong the life. Would have been nice if they had included some extras considering the price.Some things to note… the interior is not tall, so you will not be putting whole chickens into it (probably can use half chickens) and doesn’t look like a pork shoulder will fit (but even though it can smoke, I don’t see that as its primary use). But the thing is, the instructions don’t include any suggestions about what to cook in it (recipes)! I suspect there are, or will be, some youtube videos out for it.Another thing needed is a cover, which I have not seen offered yet, so it will need to be kept in a sheltered area. The power cord is not really long (longer than the Woodfire at least) so needs to be close to a plug to use, or have a very heavy duty extension.I worry about cleaning – the area below the heating element will eventually need cleaning, and you need to remove the element. This is done by removing some screws, and I have a tendency to drop loose screws. Would have been better if it plugged in like an oven or stove element. They do include a plastic scraper for use in cleanup.I look forward to using this – the first thing I will try is smoking a couple of bacon-wrapped sirloins, then pulling them off, setting it to high, and searing them. Again, examples, suggestions, and recipes would have been nice – Come on Weber, include some of the things that you want to show off for this grill!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great electric grill with plenty of options
The Weber Lumin outdoor electric grill comes in a standard-size and a small compact grill. We got the standard size in black and, like all Weber products, it is well-made and hefty. We did not get the optional stand. The 3-prong Controller plugs into the side and must be stored inside out of the weather (do not use the grill when the Controller can get wet – it will ruin it). It plugs into a standard outlet and draws 1560-watts (think large hair dryer). The heating element on the bottom looks like one from an electric oven and will heat the grill to over 600F (pegging the built-in thermometer).It comes with two removable porcelain-enameled, cast iron grates that, once warm, will sear just about anything (including hands). Either side grate can be replaced with the supplied smoker/steamer tray that can hold the reversible steam pan. Use the tray to hold water (beer or other favoring optional) or smoke pellets to increase the versatility of your grill. These can be covered by the steam pan so that the item to be steamed or smoked is away from direct heat, allowing cooking two types of foods simultaneously. Underneath is a nifty pull-out catch tray for grease that holds the standard Weber disposable aluminum drip pan. It also comes with a plastic scraper to push grease into the pan from underneath the heating element (once the cooled grates are removed). They recommend cleaning the grates with a stainless steel brushes (not included).The Controller has five main settings – high, steam, smoke, medium and low/food warming. The manual instructs how to set the grill up for searing, steaming, smoke infusing, food warming, and grill from frozen. The Weber website has hundreds of recipes that can be used on the grill from meats and vegetables to pizza and cake.We got the grill thinking that we would use it primarily in our camper, but the full-sized one is big and heavy and the compact one may be better suited for that use. The grill cooks well, but I prefer charcoal or flame to get the meat caramelized and infused with flavor. The smoking option helps to add that flavor. The electric option means no gas tanks to worry about and may reduce pollution, but the cost to operate will be lost in your electric bill.Overall, a flexible and good electric grill for multiple foods that isn’t very portable.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a work horse!
After using another outdoor electric grill for over 15 years, I decided it was time for an upgrade. So, I asked for this as a gift. My only complaint was with Amazon. My mom thought she was ordering me the “standard” size, and double checked before buying, but was charged for (and given) the compact size. With that being said, the compact size is more than enough for two people to do meat and steam veggies. If you are only looking to grill meat, it will easily do 4 large steaks. Get the standard size if you have a larger household.I wanted a work horse and I got one! The options are endless with this thing. I might upgrade in a few years to the larger version, but for the size, it’s AMAZING!!!I do wish the stand was a little more sturdy; this feels a little… tippy. But, I’m sure a newer stand will be out in a few years and I can upgrade.If you have HOA restrictions on grills, this is the one you want! I’m already looking at the griddle add-on for “smash burgers”.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little grill!
I got this grill as an option to use during cold weather in the garage. It’s the perfect size for a small family.It takes a little longer to heat than my Genesis gas grill but that’s an easy trade off to have burgers on the grill without freezing while grilling! It heats to 500 in about 15-20 minutes just like the instructions say it will.I also got the stand, which is stationary. It’s plastic and snaps together easily.Overall, it’s a great option for us, easy to use and makes grilling in the winter enjoyable!

5.0 out of 5 stars Weber Quality
This little thing is a powerhouse. My husband is a Weber guy, he has them all and naturally this was on his list.It’s a powerful little unit- heavy though! We are looking to take this camping with us at places that have a power source but he’s going to have to do the lifting. I wish it were a bit more portable for the small size but it is what it is. Easy to assemble (not much required) but it would be 100x better if it came with the stand as well. Out of the box it heats high and heats fast. The “smoker” addition is a nice touch but it is NOT a smoker. There are pans to have you steam your veg, which was awesome, I also threw some shrimp in the steamer and it worked beautifully (better on the grill). There’s even a warming feature to keep the food in the grill for casual dining. Easy clean up- treat it like a regular propane grill.Overall, its a great little unit that has no problems or issues whatsoever. For me, I wish it were just a bit more portable!

Bonito y Practico Asador Electrico
Es Nice este Asador Eléctrico porque es pequeño y lo puedes poner en cualquier lugar, no es el típico asador de carbón o gas, este es mas para hacer carne para pocas personas y que no quieras oler a carbón cuando asas la carne o que te quemes por el intenso calor que sale de el, de hecho lo tienes que calentar a su máxima temperatura para que lo puedas usar, la carne queda bien pero no es para asar mucha carne porque es chico y se tarda mucho mas que un asador convencional es mas bien para el antojo de asar un corte pero no quieres sacar tu asador de carbón, es fácil de limpiar obviamente si pones cortes con mucha grasa queda todo sucio y es mas trabajo para limpiarlo, yo recomiendo usarlo con cortes no tan grasosos o grandes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best electric grill yet!
This is my third electric grill, and by far the very best! I cannot use gas or flame on my condo deck, so I have been using – and a bit frustrated with – electric grills as they don’t get hot enough to cook steaks or any high-temp meals on cooler evenings. Not so with the Lumin!This gets every bit as hot and is just as controllable as the gas grills I’ve used previously, and, as long as I clean the pan periodically, there are almost no flare-ups. That’s the one ding on this one – it’s a bit of a challenge/chore to scrape the pan below the heating element. But worth the effort.Amazingly versatile with the supplied steamer pans, and the temperature is easily controllable to create a good sear on a steak & then drop the temp to finish cooking.OK Ding #2 – it’s quite expensive too. But I guess you get what you pay for, and after using this almost every day for three months I have no regrets!

Excelente producto, lastima que aun no llegue a la tienda oficial de Colombia

5.0 out of 5 stars A great replacement for gas or charcoal grill
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.

Very attractive and heats well BUT VERY very difficult to keep tray below grates grease free….I do enjoy but would think twice if I known about the cleaning.
