The Lumin Compact is Weber's smaller electric grill, built for flats with a balcony, terraces and courtyard gardens where a gas bottle or bag of charcoal is not welcome. It is best for one to four people. What makes it stand out among compact electric grills is the claimed searing heat of over 315°C, enough to put a crust on meat instead of steaming it.

Our take
Power and modes
The grill runs on 230 V at 2,200 W. Weber describes it as 5-in-1, able to grill, smoke, steam, defrost and keep food warm. The listing does not say exactly which accessories ship in the box for the smoking and steaming modes, so check the contents before relying on them.
Specifications mention two power levels, a power light and a built-in thermometer, which together let you see when it is ready and roughly how hot it is running.
Grate size and weight
The cooking area is 43 x 32 cm, which Amazon gives as 1,376 cm². In practical terms that covers burgers and sausages for three or four, or a couple of steaks with vegetables alongside. Larger gatherings will mean cooking in rounds.
At 11.8 kg and about 59 x 42 x 28 cm, it is light enough to carry from a cupboard to a table and back. The listing describes it as portable.
Cleaning and support
Weber points to easy-clean trays, including a removable grease tray, and talks about sleek storage. The grate material is cast iron, so keep it seasoned. Some assembly is needed.
The warranty is listed as up to five years, and EU spare parts are stated to be available for five years, which is longer than many small electric grills offer.
Lumin Compact or one of its neighbours
The full-size Weber Lumin offers a larger 33 x 49 cm grate, a plancha insert in the box and 2,300 W, at 16.6 kg. The Weber Pulse 1000 has a similar footprint at 41 x 31 cm but adds digital control. The EliteFyre Volteq 6-in-1 offers a larger 1,700 cm² area and a smoker mode.
Verdict
Buy the Lumin Compact if you cook for a small household on a balcony or patio and want a light, high-heat electric grill that packs away. If you regularly feed more than four, the full-size Weber Lumin gives more space and a plancha, and the Weber Pulse 1000 suits anyone who prefers precise digital temperature control.
