Weber Q 2200 vs Cuisinart GR-4N 5-in-1 Griddler

While the grill itself is small enough to fit in a car or balcony, it doesn’t sacrifice the cooking area. Its 280 square inches are enough to fit a whole chicken or burgers for eight people.

This grill outputs up to 12,000 BTUs, which is very decent result for a portable unit, as competitors rarely even reach the 10,000 BTU mark.

While most portable grills use light and flimsy materials, the Q2200 doesn't. It has a cast aluminum body and heavy porcelain-coated cast iron grates that are excellent at resisting rust, ensuring that, with proper care, the grill will last for years.

When you purchase the grill, it comes fully assembled so you don’t need to spend your time setting it up.

Weber offers a griddle with this unit. so you can cook eggs, tortillas, and even pancakes. Only one part of the grates needs to be taken off, so you can still cook on the griddle and the grates at the same time.

The grill can be ignited with a push of a button. This eliminates the need to remove the grates and ignite it manually.

Because of the cast aluminum shell and porcelain-coated cast iron grates, the grill has excellent heat retention. This works great in conjunction with the 12,000 BTUs heat output.

The included fold-out tables are not only large, but they’re also rigid enough to hold heavy items.

The hood-mounted thermometer allows you to track the temperature inside the grill without having to open it.

The hood is tall enough to fit large items, like a pork joint or a whole chicken.

This electric grill is perfectly safe to be used indoors. Good ventilation is the only requirement.

The grill can be used in six different ways: as a contact grill, panini press, full grill, full griddle, half-grill or half-griddle. This flexibility means that you can cook steaks, hamburgers, eggs, pancakes, and bacon without buying separate appliances.

The grill plates are non-stick, but if they get greasy, you can quickly remove them for cleaning. The plates are dishwasher safe, and the grill itself can be easily wiped clean since there aren't any tricky, hard-to-reach spaces.

It's possible to fully open up the grill to double the working surface. This allows you to grill a steak on one side and cook vegetables on the other side. If you want to grill sandwiches or paninis, the floating cover comes in handy, as it allows to grill both sides simultaneously.

The temperatures can be set up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, enough to perfectly sear a steak.
