## Questions & Answers
**Q: I want to know about ease of cleaning. I have a Char Broil electric grill now and it is a nightmare to try to clean.**
A: The ease of cleaning the grill (the part that the food rests on) is possibly the best part about this grill. It's easy and the metal cleans nicely. The shortcomings of the grill are that the drip tray doesn't catch all the drippings so I have resorted to putting a pan under the grill but I still get grease splatter all over the tile floor of my balcony. Also, the temperature controller cycles on and off so cooking time is uneven and unpredictable and it never gets hot enough to sear anything. I'm waiting for it to die and then replace it. I have read some reviews that rate the Weber electric grill highly so hopefully that's a better choice.
**Q: Which grill brush do I use for this type of grilling grate?**
A: The CEG-980 has a porcelain-coated grill grate so we do recommend a grill brush with soft bristles. Try our CCB-1000 steam cleaner brush!
**Q: Is this grill good to cook corn on the cob?
Thank you.**
A: I'd bet it will work for corn on the cob just fine. I have not yet tried it but will soon. We love this little grill. I leave it on Max setting for everything but watch it pretty close.
**Q: Which dimension is 22?**
A: The stand legs are 22 " when extended to about the same height as a gas grill.
## Customer Reviews
### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect summer fun
*by on Reviewed in the United States August 1, 2019*
This was the perfect solution to having a little BBQ fun this summer. Not allowed to have non electric grills on high rise terraces so we can now have a burger, hot dog or anything grilled to perfection on this wonderful grill. Although it's small enough for my terrace it has plenty of surface space to make dinner for four. I loved that I didn't have any trouble assembling it into place and the clean up is a breeze. I love cuisinart products and have so many of them but this by far is my favorite.
### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Well
*by on Reviewed in the United States June 30, 2013*
This review is from: Cuisinart CEG-980T Outdoor Electric Tabletop Grill (Lawn & Patio)We moved to a condo that does not allow gas grills on the deck. I researched many electric grills to see which one would meet our needs. After comparing reviews I decided to go with the Cuisinart mainly due to the brand. I have other Cuisinart products and have been impressed with the quality of their products.So far we have grilled hamburgers, hot dogs, brats and pork chops. We have been impressed with it grill. It takes up about 10 mins to heat up. When grilling it does put the grill lines in the meat. The meat cooks well but don't check it often, because the grill does lose heat when you open the lid. This is not major, you just learn how to cook this way.The only negative about the grill and has been mentioned several times is the grease trap. It is very small and needs to be emptied after each use. I have had an overflow yet, but we take precautions by putting and rug under it when I grill.I do like the looks and the compact ability of the grill. I am very glad that I made the purchase. I recommend this grill for people in my situation that can't have a gas or charcoal grill. You will still have the joy of cooking out.
### ⭐ Terrible Grill
*by on Reviewed in the United States November 7, 2013*
Terrible Grill.I live in a high rise apartment so electric grilling is my only option. I purchased the Cuisinart based on brand name/reputation and am totally disappointed.1. Temperature control is a problem. As soon as the heating element gets red the controller shuts it off until it cools and then it heats up again briefly. It will never sear anything or give smoky barbecue flavor and rarely even burns grill marks on food. Cooking time is unpredictable and lengthy and eventually the food is cooked, but not as expected from a barbecue grill.2. The grease catch tray leaks profusely onto my tile floor. A mess. The grease tray is tubular shaped with a small hole in the middle, so it can never be completely emptied and can not be cleaned.I called Cuisinart about each of the problems and they refused to accept a return for refund. They courteously shipped a replacement temperature controller and a replacement grease tray. Neither work any better than the originals.Save yourself the disappointment and heartache and don't buy it.
