This grill does everything it says it can do.  While I've only had it about a month, it does burgers, sausages and can simultaneously steam vegetables.  I also bought the stand, which is plastic, but it seems very sturdy and the grill fits it nicely.  I only wish there was a model one step bigger.  I'm able to do 4 burgers and a plateful of steamed veggies (or I could do ~8 burgers) so it works for me 99% of the time.  I have not tried the smoker feature.
