Very good grill for its price and the fact that it is electric.

The fact that it is electric has its advantages and disadvantages.

It definitely takes longer to cook compared to charcoal (it is only 2200W), but considering that with a charcoal grill you have more preparation and difficulty (charcoal, dirt, lighting the fire, etc.), I believe the final cooking time is the same.

In terms of convenience, it is excellent. You fill the container with water, put in the heating element and the grill, and you're ready.

It has adjustable intensity and a light to indicate if the heating element is working or has turned off due to reaching the temperature.

Its plastics are of good quality for its price. I don't think there will be any issues with proper use for many years.

The cooking surface and power are obviously not suitable for cooking for a large group or a large amount of meat. I think it is perfect for a family of four.

A big plus for those living in an apartment is that they can easily use it indoors, above the kitchen, and have the range hood to remove any odors.

Overall, it is a decent proposal for the money it asks for, with all the advantages and disadvantages of an electric grill. If you get used to its cooking method, you will greatly enjoy its grilled dishes.

Having the Tefal BG90E5 for two years, from which I am completely satisfied, I bought the Severin 8560 because I needed a larger cooking surface. This particular grill is like day and night compared to the Tefal. I don't know if I got a defective piece or if the 100 watts less of the Severin (2200 compared to Tefal's 2300) play such an important role, but having the thermostat on maximum for almost half an hour, the burgers I was grilling had a little color on the outside, while they were completely raw on the inside, so I took them and continued cooking them in the oven to finish. It is characteristic that the temperature above the Severin's grill, with the thermostat on maximum, was completely tolerable for the hands, while with the Tefal you can't approach it for more than a second without getting burned. And all this on a day with an external temperature of 20 degrees and without wind. Of course, the grill was packaged again and returned to the store. And it's a shame because its size was ideal for the quantities I cook, something that I miss in the Tefal. In conclusion, if the specific piece I bought was not defective, it is an unacceptable grill and it will drive you crazy if you want to cook something more than vegetables.
