It seems ok for a gas grill as I am used to charcoal which burns away all residue drippings. This leaves a mess that you have to clean up to keep the grill in shape. But that is the way all gas grills are. The grates seem very well made and heavy duty. It folds up well and locks closed allowing me to easily store it in my RV. Connected easily without any modifications to my RV propane supply valve. You have to learn to control the heat and use one side to offset flareups. I wish they designed it like their primary competitor that when the lid is closed it stops the flames and contains heat and smoke but they don't make a two burner portable. Overall I think it is a descent "gas" grill for my purposes.
