I bought this grill because I used a Char-Broil patio caddy for many years and it was a great grill.  The Patio Bistro is very poorly designed and I am extremely unhappy with it.First because of an opening in the back, the heat escapes so it does not heat up completely.  The electronics can not be removed like the Patio Caddy so when it rains the electronics get wet.  The worst part of it is the uncleanable grill. The space between the grates is so small that pieces of meat that break off do not fall thru, they just stay there and burn which makes it hard to clean.  With the patio caddy I could use a wire brush to get the remainders but not on this grill.  I would return it if I could.
