Best Electric Grills for 2025

Top Rated Electric Grills

Electric grills are safe, cook evenly, clean up easily, and are perfect for families or those in constrained spaces (think small yards and balconies), while painless to light or operate; forget hassling with fire or adjusting gas flames. Many condos and apartments won’t allow gas or charcoal grills but will allow electric grills. Modern electric grills offer high performance previously unheard of, and are being produced by some of the top names in grilling.

• Quality - The best electric grills include solid design and construction. Stainless steel jumps the line, thanks to unbeatable heat retention and outdoor longevity in the category. Other considerations include sturdy insulation intelligently-designed rapid heating elements. Warranties are fairly sparse, so we also prioritize strong guarantees from competent brands.

• Performance - Expectations include a great electric grill that reaches temperatures hot enough to sear steak, yet low enough for gentle sizzle on delicate dishes — while easy overall to use. Minimum and maximum temperatures can be constrained due to their heating elements and electrical wiring, but our experts demand capable performance.

• Features - Electric grills must distinguish themselves from their competition through unique, thoughtful bonuses. Some of these extras might include safety timer shut-offs, digital temperature controllers, and unique flame tamers that protect the heating elements from drippings and splatters.
