We have owned this grill for about a year and half.  We always clean and cover the grill when not in use.  On the gas side, the bottom head shield is rusted through, the burner tents are showing excessive rust.  On the charcoal side, the charcoal pan needs replacing.  The front caster wheels broke off last summer.  We use the grill 2-3 times per week.  The grill cooks food very well, and it's relatively easy to clean.  We really expected better quality from Char-Broil for the price of this grill.  This is the second Char-Broil grill we've owned and we won't be purchasing another.
