The Five Higest Rated Electric Grill BBQs

Electric Grill BBQ's make it possible to grill year round.  Here's the low-down of each grill, based on my own views and those of other owners. This isn't the list of "best to worst", just a random ordering.  I will disclose my own opinion on the leading grill later:

George Foreman GGR50B Indoor/Outdoor

PROS:
-Simple Setup.
-Good Heat Control.
-Large grilling area.
-Non-stick grilling surface.

CONS:
-Drip tray ought to be larger. If you baste while you grill, this one can fill up quickly.
-Not very easy to clean - hard to fit in sink due to size.
-A little top heavy when on supplied stand so it can go down easily if bumped.


Sanyo HP-SG2

PROS:
-Nice sized grilling area which is perfect for 2 people.
-Size is not overly huge like some of the other grills.
-Non-stick grilling surface.

CONS
-Doesn't really cook evenly. Often times, parts of a piece of meat will be virtually raw while other parts are well done.
-The grill part is coated with a non-stick material but it does get pretty dirty even if you wash it after every use. After quite a few grillings, you have to take time to carefully clean with a small brush.
-Back of the grill isn't coated so gets very stained and dark with repeated usage.
-Paint chips off the drip pan. 
-Lack of a lid


Sanyo HP-SG3

PROS:
-Cleaning is a breese...just wipe down the hot grill with a wet papertowl and it looks like new.
-Non-stick grilling surface.
-Large grilling surface for lots of food - good for 3 to 4 people.

CONS:
- The shallow pan is a pain to dump the water after grilling.
- The heat comes from the grill itself and not from under the grill surface.
-The backside of the grill is not non-stick, so is a pain to clean up.
-Smokes a bit
-As with it's smaller brother, there is no lid.
- 125 degree jump at the end of the dial makes it difficult to select temps between 300-425
-Uneven cooking surface with some cold spots.

Zojirushi EB-CC15

PROS:
-The maximum setting works admirably for most grilling chores, from chicken or steak to hamburger patties, and delivers the much required customary sear marks as it cooks foods to perfection.
-Little to no smoke
-Nonstick cooking surface released foods with nary a stick. The resulting meals are lower in fat and healthier
-Very even cooking surface, no hot or cold spots, a big advantage over most other electric grills.
-Cleaning is beautifully easy because of the non-stick surface. Just brush or wipe with a damp cloth and your grill is clean. The drip tray and plastic base are dishwasher safe, but also clean easily in hot, soapy water if you wish.

CONS
-Would be nice to have a lid.
-Not possible set an exact temperature.
-The high setting proved a little too hot for grilling delicate seafood and vegetables, as well as any foods coated in a thick barbecue sauce. So make sure you leave the heat around 3/4 throttle to cook foods like this and turn them on the grill frequently to avoid charring.
-Smokes a little like the others, depending on what you are grilling.

Delonghi BG24

PROS
-Big grilling area.
-Drip pan easy to clean.
-The Non-stick surface works on the money with a light coat of oil.
-Preheats fairly quickly
-Cooking surface heats fairly evenly.
-The glass-top is useful for certain foods and nice to have.

CONS:
-Grill plate aggravating to clean - not dishwasher safe according to manufacturer.
-Takes up immense of counter space due to size.
-Heating element is built into grill plate so not honestly bbq style - just a heating element with slits to let out the fat.
-The Glass top does not perfectly fit over the grilling surface and is too shallow.
-Doesn't get hot enough to sear meat.

West Bend 6111 Heart Smart

PROS:
-Includes a skillet area on the grill plate, so smaller grilling area but you have a side part to grill onions or bacon for your burgers.
-The grill piece is dishwasher safe.
-Comes with a cover which is nice.

CONS:
-Cover is relatively flat so thick meats will touch the inside of the cover.
-As with most electric grills not really smokeless... depends what you are grilling.
-Not as searing hot as it should be for thicker meats.
-Somewhat involved to clean because of the small holes in grill plate - soaking in hot soapy water helps though.
