Purchased Mar 1, 2017, have used it every weekend, even when it snowed!!! Great little grill, for just a couple people, it's the perfect size. Very compact. Store on a shelf and doesn't take up valuable real estate like a floor model, especially for small decks. Buy it now and when you do, purchase a gas tank conversion hose, especially if you wish to use the larger 20 lb tank of propane. Hose is 4 ft long. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Cuisinart-Tank-Conversion-Hose-QG-012B/202538406 Enjoy your summer!

This portable grill gets to hot even on the low setting.We had to place tin foil over rack so things don't burn. The warmer rack works but the lid touches anything that isn't low profile. So things like chicken breast doesn't work so well. Don't bother with this grill. It is not worth the money.

Nice grill, as portables go. Have used twice so far. Did have some flame-up issues with steaks. Keep a spray bottle handy. Otherwise, a nice, well-designed unit.

The grill did not cook food evenly. All the flames concentrated at the distal end of the gas source. It was compact and okay to use despite the heating issue. I would not recommend this grill for anyone who is serious about grilling.

The grill works well but the top rack will not stay in place...keeps sliding out of the holes. I just took it out and set it aside.

I bought this grill because of the reviews that stated that it cooked hot. That was considered a bad thing but I like to cook hot. Single burner 12000 BTUs is not very common. From the beginning, the half of the grill at the tank side was not nearly as hot as the left side. I am now only getting hot heat in the rear left 1/4th of the grill. Essentially that's all I have to cook with. I don't know if there is anything that can be done to correct the problem but so far I don't see a solution. The thermostat reflects high heat, between 550 and 600 degrees and does seem very hot in that one area and I get a nice sear, but the rest of the grill is useless to me.

    Worse piece of crap ever made. Hardware was cheap and tiny so assembly was a nightmare. Used it three times and all three times juices flared up and charred the meat no matter what temperature setting used. I had it for three days and joyfully tossed it into a dumpster.

      This grill is not easy to assemble. When I had it finally assembled and set up. the piezoelectric ignitor does not work. It is very dangerous to light up the unit with a match as there is a tendency for explosion. I definitely will not recommend this product.

      I really like this grill. I wanted something small that I can put away when it's not being used and not take up a lot of space. At the same time, I wanted a decent grill that would perform well. I gotta say I was really pleased with how well this grill works. It gets hot quickly and maintains a high cooking temperature to cook food thoroughly. The only negative thing I could say is that food cooks faster on the side of the grill opposite the control knob and slower near the control knob. Not a big deal for me though. I also like the smaller size propane cylinders that it uses and they tend to last a while. The smaller propane cylinders are less cumbersome when moving around the grill and they take up less space. I'd but this grill again and would recommend it to someone.

      Over all it is pretty good. The part that I do not like is that it does not come fully apart to be able to clean and the grill is hard to remove because of the upper shelf leg rubs on the grill.I would not recommend this because of the cleaning problem

      this little grille seems to be well made, and was simple to assemble the few parts that needed added. it heats super fast, 0 - 500 degrees in a minute or two. it cooks evenly but FAST, so watching is required. I cook for two at most and it is perfect for me, and far better than my last portable gas grille.

      This Portable barbecue has a stylish look, however , you "must" watch the temperature, it could burn your food. It was easy to assemble. I put it together in 10 minutes by my self (and i am a senior lady). I choose this model because it has a warm up rack and the Start up option. It has a great compartment to collect the grease - this was well designed. I used it 3 times and I also have 3 negative points. 1- the starter button does not work. I tried everything in the manual... it wont work. 2- the finishing edges are badly polished (where edges were welded) . Very cheap termination. 3- it gets really hot in the outside. Be careful, you can easily get burned by just touching the outside. I am considering returning it as i cant find a solution for the startup button to work. Is a shame, there is no cover for this table top bbq.
