I just bought this to replace a Broil King unit that I bought 6 yrs ago. It pretty much rusted thru and was barely usable, It cost about $1200. So I bought this RG model for about 1/4 the cost. 12 yrs ago I got a new Char Broil unit ant it rusted thru in 6 yrs. So, I guess thats all I can expect a grill to last. We use it year around in east Tn. Grill lives on a covered patio, but I dont use a grill cover. This new RG unit is about half the weight of the Broil King unit, but a lot easier to move around. I converted this RG unit to natural gas ant it seems to work fine. Have not grilled anything yet, tho. The grates are  little rough texture, so I will give them a bath in cooking oil prior to using.  I will be content if this unit lasts 6 yrs. I was happy with Wayfair and their quick ship service. Assembly wasnt to bad but took me maybe a lazy 2 hours because I had to drill out a total or 6 orifices.
