Overview
At 1150 watts, the Cuisinart FBAAMZ4CUIGR4N is on the lower end of wattage for electric grills in its price class. Stainless steel construction gives it durability and a professional look, though the red color adds a distinctive accent that not everyone will want in their kitchen. The physical size at 11.2 x 13 x 6.5 inches is compact for a $171 appliance.
The weight is listed at 0.01 lb, which is clearly a data anomaly and not the actual product weight. Setting that aside, the stainless steel body and compact footprint suggest a unit that is moderately sized for countertop use. Cuisinart has a strong track record in electric countertop appliances, which carries weight in the mid-price segment.
Four-and-a-half stars from 104 buyers is a solid signal, especially given that Cuisinart buyers tend to have higher baseline expectations than bargain-brand shoppers. The 115V voltage requirement means it plugs into any standard American outlet.
Performance notes
At 1150W this grill produces steady heat for cooking burgers, chicken, and vegetables at a modest pace. The stainless steel body will handle heat well. The compact 11.2 x 13 inch footprint translates to a modest actual cooking surface suited to two to three servings at a time. No presets or temperature controls are documented in the available specs, suggesting a straightforward fixed-power or dial-based operation.
What buyers say
With 104 reviews averaging 4.5 stars, buyer feedback is genuinely positive. Cuisinart shoppers generally have clear product expectations and the high rating from this sample suggests the grill meets them. For a brand-name mid-range electric grill, a 4.5-star average is a reliable positive signal rather than inflated early enthusiasm.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Cuisinart FBAAMZ4CUIGR4N a good value at $171?
It depends on what you value. The 4.5-star rating from 104 buyers and Cuisinart's brand reliability justify the price for shoppers who want a trusted name and stainless steel construction. Budget shoppers can find lower-wattage alternatives for less, but they trade brand support and build confidence for savings.
What voltage does the Cuisinart FBAAMZ4CUIGR4N require?
It runs on 115 volts, which is standard in North American households. No special outlet or wiring is needed. It will plug directly into a normal kitchen outlet.
Is the stainless steel body easy to keep clean?
Stainless steel exteriors are generally easy to wipe down with a damp cloth and resist staining better than plastic housings. The cooking surface material is not specified in the available data, so cleanup ease for the grill plate itself would depend on whether it has a coated or uncoated surface.
