My father had bought this grill for me, for my birthday. There is a bit of a learning curve, but nothing that can’t be handled. Grill gets very hot, very quick! Easy to clean! Just an all around great grill. My only complaint would be the lack of colors for the model. Would have really liked an all black one, as the corners of the “titanium” painted lid discolor and turn brown after a couple of uses. I’ve tried cleaning it up, with no luck (used Weber’s cleaner). Purely cosmetic and doesn’t affect function at all. All in all, I would buy it again and recommend it to a friend.
