We bought this to reduce weight we were hauling in our camper.  We own another brand and we were very pleased with it, but light it is not.  The Blackstone has some great features such as leveling capability, easy to clean and put away and all we have to do is close the stove to store it, where as with our other one, we had to clean the grill which was harder to do and stick it in the bag.  Now, do I like there is a coated surface?  Well I definitely can see that degrading in time, so hopefully there will be an option to buy a new top for it.  It is lighter though and that is a huge thing when you are camping.  We haven't suffered any issues with broken parts or so forth yet....maybe we just got lucky with our unit...don't know.  We enjoy using it when we take our camper out and it is so much easier to deal with on breakdown day.  Defintely no complaints yet!
