About Cuisinart
Cuisinart built its reputation on food processors in the 1970s and has spent the last two decades extending the brand into nearly every countertop appliance category imaginable. Their outdoor electric grills bring the same design sensibility — well-built, reasonably priced, no gimmicks — to the patio. The CEG line is a staple of mid-priced electric grilling, and while it does not make our top ten in 2026, it remains a solid alternative for buyers who find the Weber/Ninja binary uninspiring.
- Trusted kitchen-appliance brand heritage
- Mid-priced, no-gimmick electric grills
- Reasonable build quality at competitive prices
- Well-distributed in big-box retail and online

See our 2026 rankingsIs Cuisinart a good brand for electric grills?
Cuisinart is the best brand for buyers who want a reliable electric grill from a trusted kitchen-appliance name but do not need the latest features. The CEG-980 and similar models sit squarely in the middle of the market on price, specs, and performance. Nothing about a Cuisinart electric grill will blow you away, and nothing about one will disappoint you. It is the safe choice for the non-enthusiast, and that is a compliment.
