This is a really cool grill. It will take a little bit of use to get used to using it but the fact that you can choose between using both the inner and outer burner or just the outer burner as well as adjusting the heat/flame is a really nice feature. The way the lid was constructed keeps you from having to reach over the heat to open it and because of the low profile of the opening mechanism you do not need additional space behind/next to the grill as you do with a top opening grill. The caster wheels are of a nice rubber and roll very smoothly. The casters are actually already attached to the base which, from what I was told, made it very nice as casters can be difficult to install. The grill heats very quickly. The propane tank fits nicely and the latch to hold the propane door closed actually works a little too well. Not having to look at the ugly propane tank is great. It would be nice if there was a way to reach in and turn the propane tank off without having to actually open the front cover but thats ok. I def recommend purchasing the associated grill cover. It fits nicely and is a good quality cover. The only downside is the interior shelf does not sit level. Not sure if we got a defective one or if they all sit like that. It is probably about a 10-15% tilt. It is a heavy grill. I had a hard time getting it up my front step but the assembly was very easy. And the best part is....it holds A LOT of food and make a really pretty presentation!

I would have gave it a five star rating, but the bottom two main panels arrived crushed. But being the maniac I am, I used a rubber mallet to pound out the crushed area. Why, because I was too excited to wait for another on to arrive:)
All I can say is this is the BEST grill I have ever owned ...its quality made, well designed with user in mind, everything is heavy duty construction, and the assembly instructions and installation are one of the easiest ever (I've had about 7-8 grills and still have one of my charcoal grill's)! Although one suggestion would be to redesign how putting the bottom 4x screws (2x) to the lower base without having a slight angle to it...nothing that's a show stopper, just ensure you hand start screws before driving with a screw driver (minimize cross thread). I still say this is an awesome grill and I would purchase another one in a heartbeat.
My first grilled item was 16x 1/3 lb burgers, hand made...easily fit on the grill and they cooked super fast (I always start with room temp meat). This is NOT a tiny grill top (20"+ round), but perfect for the patio and its actually kind of tall, which I like because you don't have to lean over to flip items (I'm 73" tall).
I highly recommend this grill...you won't regret it! It will last for years!

I bought a similar grill from Fuego 14 years ago and I am really satisfied about the newer design and construction, it’s well built and ergonomically designed.

Great grill. Takes up minimal space but the actual grill rack is actually very large about 2’ round. Works and looks great!

Fantastic design and sound construction. Easy to assemble and great to use. Cast iron grille grate is heavy duty, reaches cooking temperature fast, and cooks well.

Doesn't last. Rusts after a few seasons
This grill simply doesn't last. I've had it almost 4 years now and the flame guard rusted out, I've replaced the heat deflector, the cast iron cracked 5 inches, the other cast iron (flat top) warped), the paint is flecking, there is rust at the bottom and the flames constantly catch fire to food and anything that fat clings to. Many times the grates catch fire themselves even after scrubbing, cleaning, vacuuming out the grill, etc. My theory is the flames are just too high; too close to the food

Best grill I have ever owned
I have had a traditional Weber charcoal grill, and a couple different gas grills over the years. This is by far the best grill I have ever owned. I was in the market for a new grill and I looked and looked at everything on the market for under $1,000. I finally settled on this one, and I'm glad I did. It has a nice, small footprint but yet has plenty of grill area. It heats up very quickly, and the heavy grate retains heat very well. I would highly recommend!

Long term review - just meh
I've now owned the "professional" version for three years. Bought when released, saved $100. Have replaced burner assy already (rusted), ignitor (garbage) and gas supply line. If left on high for 20+ mins I can get to 500 degrees, but just barely. The nicest thing about the grill is the overpriced cover...the rest is flimsy, poorly designed rust food. Cannot recommend. And now, probably cannot sell to anyone. Could have been happy with something else.

Very impressed, small grill, big cooking surface.
We bought this as a replacement, we were used to big grills but no longer need a big grill all the time. Also it was hard to get it down to the bottom deck. This grill is very easy to get up or down if you want to move it, it also has plenty of room to cook if you have company. We really love how it opens so you don't get burnt.

Some nice features but flawed
My second season and already starting to rust out, particularly in the section housing the grill/burners. Not just flaking paint but actual corrosion of metal. May get another year, maybe two before it starts to become unusable. Huge pain to keep clean also, with deflectors and grease traps and crannies that get gunked up quickly. If they made this out of stainless and reengineered how the drippings are captured it could be a nice grill but as it stands now I have buyer's remorse.

The grill was easy to assemble, heats up quickly and works great. I love the sleek design and ease of use. Just ordered the flattop griddle so no need for a brookstone

Unusual grill that takes up very little space. We cooked awesome ribs and pork chops. It takes a little getting used to if you've been using a traditional grill. I'm happy I bought it and look forward to cooking more with it.

This grill assembled easily. It lights easily and quickly comes to temperature. The grill space is more than adequate and I love how little space it takes up on the patio. Have only used it a handful of times but so far no complaints.
