Assessing the value for moneyGrills get messy; that’s just a part of the game. When cooking meat, the fat liquifies and drips, coating the interior of the grill with grease. In this case, that means the heating element itself can become quite dirty, even after only one use.

It also heats up fast and can be plopped safely on to any outdoor table (the heating element is slightly elevated, so even if you don’t get the dedicated grill stand, you shouldn’t do damage to whatever the grill is sitting on). Especially for an electric, the Lumin is a good grill. It requires fewer compromises than lots of other plug-in models. What can you do with the Weber Lumin?

With the Lumin Compact offering the same features as the original Lumin, only in a smaller size, these electric grills cater to a wide range of needs and preferences. The easy-to-use control element attaches to the side of the Weber Lumin and detaches for easy storage. Both models come with a 6-foot grounded power cord, providing flexibility when setting up your outdoor cooking space.

While Weber says the grill is designed to be safely used for outdoor grilling, rain or shine, we recommend storing it under a grill cover, just in case. We have some concerns about exposing the electrical components to the outdoor elements. My next experiment involved smoking a salmon fillet so I followed the instructions and replaced the left-hand grill top with the smoking tray and filled it with wood chips. Why Weber suggest the left side and not the right I don't know – I mean it’s not as if the left side of the heating element is a different temperature to the right. But anyway, Weber recommend starting on full heat for about 5 minutes to get the chips smoking and then reducing the temperature by turning the dial to the smoke icon. I’ve got to say, the results were really impressive – the fish was perfectly cooked and it definitely had a light texture and very pleasant smokey flavour. Price: The Lumin is relatively more expensive than the Compact version, which might be a concern for budget-conscious shoppers.

Smaller cooking area: The Lumin Compact’s cooking area is 100 square inches smaller than the Lumin, which might be a limitation for those hosting larger gatherings. However, if you are after a BBQ for entertaining at parties and you need space for cooking multiple things at once the Lumin is very limiting in terms of capacity. While it comes with plenty of clever features to switch up the cooking style these can only be used one at a time so you are committed to it until the BBQ cools down.Accessories: Consider the optional accessories that are available for both grills and how they may enhance your grilling experience. Keep in mind that some accessories may be more compatible with one grill than the other. There are two models in the Lumin electric barbecue range: the standard model and the compact model. The main difference between the two is the size, with the compact model being smaller in all dimensions than the standard.
