Let me begin with the negatives: there are no negatives about the Weber Q1400 electric grill. There are only positives, sincerely. This grill might be small but it is mighty in terms of its cooking power, how it fits into any size space, from very small to large. It also is surprisingly lightweight -- 50lbs -- and can be lifted and moved easily. I particularly like the facts that this grill is electric: no more heavy gas/propane tanks to haul and elimination of charcoal and accompanying issues such as the aftermath of cooking (ash, etc.), wet or damp charcoal, difficulty lighting charcoal (usually when the grill is needed for an Event), and so on.
More simply summarized: here is a grill that can be fitted to small apartment balconies but can be used for large dinner parties, picnics, and tailgate events. It is supremely easy to use in terms of the settings: all that you need and probably want, but not "over the top." I just want to grill; I am not an ultra-chef. Simple is best, I think, in operation, size, and...appearance and assembly.
Assembly: there is very, very little. One has only to attach the side pieces to the body. It required ~90 seconds side and no sophisticated tools. Easy to comprehend instructions are included, if you want instructions. The grill is ready for use within minutes of its arrival at one's home.
Durability: I cook outside approximately 350 out of 365 days per year. I cook in all sorts of weather, provided I have proper locations to protect the grill from rain, snow, sleet, and so on. This is the second Weber electric grill I have had in the past 20 years, and this is no exaggeration.
Sturdy: no question about whether this will last more than one season. It is a Weber for one thing, and the materials (cast iron) are durable. The grill is evenly-balanced so that it is seated firmly where placed. The grates likewise are set evenly and firmly in place: no worries about a grate flipping up and spattering grease or, worse, falling on the ground; all issues with which some friends and I have encountered with other brands of grills.
Appearance: elegant. The appearance is sleek, the curved lines handsome but functional as well in terms of the even distribution of heat. Here quite sincerely, is a happy match between form and function.
I have written only 2-3 reviews of items I have purchased. I am doing so in the case of my Weber Q1400 because it is that good. Several friends and neighbors were skeptical that something so small -- in comparison to most outdoor grills -- could be so supremely effective in use.
I cannot more highly recommend this small but mighty grill. I think you will be pleased with your purchase, to say the least.

I love this little grill!
I've had the Weber Q 1400 for a week, and have grilled steaks twice and Italian sausages once. I absolutely love this grill, and look forward to using it often all year round. I haven't had to clean it beyond scraping the cooled fat out of the foil catch pan, but it can't be that hard. Leaving the grill on high for several minutes after taking the food off will burn any stuck-on food and make it easy to scrape the grill plate clean.I found the included instruction card on cooking times and temperatures to be useless for 1 1/2" thick steaks. It says to turn down the heat to medium, put the steaks on a roasting rack (Weber doesn't have one for the Q 1400) and use the same cooking times as for 1" steaks. This makes no sense to me. I ignored this strange advice and cooked the steaks as though they were on a hot gas grill. They come out perfect, and the taste is great! I had expected meats to taste just okay on an electric grill, but this particular model imparts a great outdoor cooked flavor to everything. Maybe because of the smoke being held in a small space under the cover while the meat cooks? I couldn't be happier with the way it cooks my favorite thick steaks. I'll be cooking chicken breasts, asparagus, corn on the cob, bratwursts, and much more from now on. The Weber Q 1400 electric grill gets an enthusiastic recommendation from me.P. S. - I got and recommend the Keter Unity table and storage cabinet and the Jungda cover made for the table that covers everything nicely.
