I purchased this to replace an old grill that was used occasionally. I’ve use this at least 3 times per week! It gets hotter faster than my old grill and cooks quickly and evenly, and the grill marks rival our Weber! So far I’ve done shrimp skewers, tuna steaks, chicken breasts and even a butterflied pork tenderloin. I wish I had more counter space because it doesn’t make sense putting it away
