Weber Lumin Compact Electric Grill

The smaller Lumin: same 1,560 W element and same 600°F+ ceiling, but 180 sq in instead of 242 and 26 lbs instead of 36.5. It keeps the sear, smoke, steam and boil modes and ships with the steam and smoking reservoir. The trade is purely grate area and footprint — nothing is given up on heat.

Features

Searing

Pros

  • ✓Gives up no heat to the full Lumin — identical 1,560 W element and 600°F+ ceiling
  • ✓26 lbs and 23 inches wide, light enough to carry out and store in a closet after every cook
  • ✓$100 cheaper than the full Lumin for the same feature set
  • ✓Same five-year cookbox and grate warranty as the larger model
  • ✓Reversible steam pan and smoking reservoir come in the box rather than as accessories

Cons

  • ✗180 sq in is small — about four burgers, and awkward for anything with a footprint
  • ✗Still draws 13 amps, so the circuit constraint is unchanged from the larger model
  • ✗No side tables, so prep space has to come from somewhere else

Weber Lumin Electric Grill
~$499
Electric Grill

Weber's full-size electric: 1,560 W on a standard 120 V outlet, 242 sq in of porcelain cast-iron grate, and a published max over 600°F — high enough to actually sear, which is what separates it from the low-watt electrics it competes with. A reservoir under the grate lets it add wood smoke, steam or boil, so it does more than one thing. This is Weber's answer for people who cannot use fire where they live.

Weber Spirit E-210
~$399
Gas Grill
4.5(2,487)

The Spirit E-210 is the compact half of Weber's best-selling gas grill family - the current Snap-Jet generation of the 2-burner that thousands of small-patio owners have run for decades. The formula hasn't changed because it works: a porcelain-enameled cookbox that won't rust through (and is warrantied for 10 years against it), cast iron grates, Flavorizer bars that turn drippings into flavor instead of flare-ups, and burners that light on the first click years in. At 48 inches wide it fits patios and townhome decks where even the 3-burner E-310 feels bulky, and the 2025 refresh added per-burner Snap-Jet ignition and Weber Works rails for accessories. The honest limits: 26,600 BTU across two burners means preheating takes a while, a hard steakhouse sear takes patience, and two burners make real indirect cooking cramped - a whole chicken works, a brisket doesn't. Owners also note the current generation's lid can drip rainwater into the grease tray if stored uncovered. Against value rivals like the Char-Broil Performance, you pay roughly double up front and get a grill that routinely outlives three of them; used Spirits famously hold resale value.

Gas Grill
4.4(61)

A full-size portable: 320 sq in of cast-iron grate on a folding cart that collapses in one motion and rolls on two wheels like a hand truck. That is roughly the grilling area of a Weber Spirit compacted into something that fits a car trunk, which is what separates it from the tabletop Q series. Single 13,000 BTU burner, so it trades heat output for footprint. A Traveler Compact and an RV-specific version are also sold.

Weber Performer 22
~$449
Charcoal Grill

Weber redesigned the Performer for 2026: it is a 22-inch kettle bowl mounted on a wheeled cart with a fixed side table, a bottom storage shelf and the Weber Works side rail for snap-on accessories. The grate, at 363 sq in, is identical to the Original Kettle 22 — what the money buys is the cart, the hinged grate, the lid thermometer and the improved ash catcher. It sits above the 22-inch Master-Touch and below the Smart version, which adds a Wi-Fi airflow controller.
