I have been cooking on the 560 for more than half a year. It is so easy to use and maintain that I feel like I'm cheating most of the time. Its performance is spot on and consistent - so all of my cooks have turned out fantastically. If you use a good thermometer probe there is no way you can miss producing perfectly cooked meats. I have seen some reviews knocking the build quality. I don't agree with that criticism since they seem to be comparing this unit to ones that can cost 5K or more. Not a fair comparison. If your thinking about getting one of these - stop thinking and buy it! You wont be disappointed. P.S: Get the grill cover for it - its really well made and protects it well.
