The grill is stylish and overall well designed. It get sufficiently hot for nice searing. Unfortunately, it has a fatal flaw — the lock that is supposed to prevent the lid from opening when the grill is stored is weak. It gave in one me a couple of times as I was moving it in a vertical position (rolling on wheels). It was sufficient to make the grates fall down and damage the enamel, and denting the box. New grill damaged because of weak piece of plastic.
