I have had this grill for a year now and I can't say enough good things about it!  We have had grills in the past, but this one is so so easy to use and keep clean.  You can even take the grill plates off and wash them in the sink if you want!  It also heats quickly and cooks faster than the previous grills we have had.  I want to purchase a second one for our other house.  Big thank you for the friend who said Weber grills are the best!
