I really like this grill. In the past, I have purchased cheaper grills. It is apparent that I have gotten what I have paid for. The grill has good temperature control and while the edges of the grilling surface don’t get as hot as the rest of the grilling surface, it is fairly consistent and easy to work with. A great feature that I really enjoy is that the top rack will fold down so it is out of the way when not in use. While I do not have it yet, I do look forward to using the griddle on the grill. That’s a great feature. Overall, a great grill and I am still excited to use it a couple of months after making the purchase.
