Note that because I haven’t rated all but the first of these grills personally, the star reviews I have listed under each grill that I haven’t reviewed are for average customer reviews from several different sources.

What can you expect from a grill in this price range?

I like to think that these grills are perfect for those who only need the bare necessities. They don’t have a lot of flash, you typically need a table to use them on, and they won’t cook a whole bunch, but they are truly some of the most portable grills available.

Some of them won’t perform extremely well, so make sure that when you look at these grills that those customer comments include hints about how they will cook.

As this page is a fairly new addition to this site, I’ll be reviewing and/or replacing the above grills as I find the time to research each of them. In the meantime, note that I cannot give my personal recommendation to any of them, as I don’t know much about them at this time. I hope to have all of these grills reviewed and or/replaced by the end of June.
