So far we've been very pleased - the things we've grilled have been remarkably comparable to our previous gas grill (in the few weeks we've had it, we've grilled chicken, pork chops, and burgers). The build quality seems excellent and the packaging and instructions for assembly were very good. We're still fine-tuning which temperatures to use for different things, but that was an expected part of the learning curve. Additionally, the preheat times are very reasonable; and the clean function seems to work well (and will be something we really appreciate). So, at this point we're very pleased with the purchase.
