We loved this grill AT FIRST. We've had it a little over a year and the grill side is rusting out. The entire inside is rusted, the little shelf where the heat shields rest on have completely disintegrated, the bottom is rusting out, and we already have to replace the heat shields...however, even if we do, they will just fall on top of the burner tubes since there's nothing left for them to rest on. We took very good care of this grill. We live in Florida and kept it covered under our carport. We cleaned it after each use. No reason it shouldn't last a long time except maybe it's made with poor quality materials. The griddle side is holding up better but we constantly have to re-season it, after only a couple uses. If you want a grill that lasts, I do not recommend this one. You get what you pay for...CHEAP!
