Tefal TG 8000 BBQ Family Electric Grill 2400 W

Firstly I have to say this is a grill not a BBQ I don't know why Amazon have put BBQ in description for the product.I didn't buy this from Amazon and therefore I didn't intend to review it but I feel my review would be helpful so here goes.I didn't set out to buy this we were in Costco when my husband noticed this and asked what I thought. Originally I said no because I've absolutely no where to put it but he said it could stay in the garage.I have a grill in my oven but I've never quite gotten the hang of this since I'm usually using it as an oven anyway. So we either dry fry or in the past we've used a George Forman grill which to be honest I've never particularly liked.So this grill made sense for us especially since my hubby wanted to grill some fish which I hate because it smells the house out so he said he'd use this in the garage (which wasn't great smell wise because it came through when he opened the door).He grilled the fish which he said was good and so we tried it again the next night. Now I'm vegetarian and he's obviously not so this worked well in that we could have a side each.He chose lamb steaks and I decided to try halloumi kebabs. I do a lot of these and normally I make up a thick marinade and brush it on but there was no point doing that on this grill because it would just burn on so I used chilli halloumi to give it flavour.My husband prefers his meat rare and so once the meat thermometer said it was done he took it off.While my kebabs were nice they were obviously not as nice as they are on the BBQ but then I didn't expect them to be but it's a good option for indoor cooking.The cooking is easy and the heat level is controllable and it cooks food evenly and well.I'm happy with our purchase and this is a product I feel we will use a lot. It's easy to use and easy to clean, the plates go in the dishwasher but we've just hand washed them each time.

Not a very good product. Dries the meat out completely. Flavour is not great - no bbq feel. Any marinade coating just burns out/ dries out.
