Overview
A full-size electric grill built for patios, balconies, and condos where gas or charcoal is not allowed. It plugs into a standard outlet and runs 200 to 700 degrees F with digital temperature control, so it can slow-cook ribs or sear a steak on the same body.
Char-Broil built the Edge for people who cannot own an open-flame grill but still want gas-grill results. Owners repeatedly compare its weight and feel to a propane unit, which is the point of an electric grill this size. The tradeoff shows up in preheat time and in how the company handles warranty claims when a heating element fails.
- 200F to 700F digital temperature range
- AutoClean mode plus auto shut-off
- No gas line or charcoal storage needed
- Rated to preheat toward 500F in under 15 minutes
Who it's for
Apartment and condo residents banned from propane or charcoal tanks, and anyone who wants one grill that can hold a low steady temperature for hours and still sear when turned up. Not for someone who wants to be cooking within five minutes of plugging in.

Questions about the Charbroil 22652143
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
Can the Char-Broil Edge sear a steak?
Yes, reviewers report it reaching around 700F, hot enough to leave visible grill marks and sear a steak.
How long does the Edge Electric Grill take to heat up?
Char-Broil rates preheat to 500F at under 15 minutes, though multiple owners say the full climb to 700F takes longer than expected.
Does the AutoClean mode leave the grill looking new?
It clears leftover residue with the push of a button, but one owner notes it still leaves grease burn marks rather than a like-new finish.
