It was exactly what I needed and easy to put together. It ignited easily and worked perfectly. I read that one of the reviewers had issues with their grill catching fire, and it sounds like they just need to clean it. Thankfully, this one is easy to clean! Unlike my previous grill with large parts that required me to stand outside and scrub and rinse with a hose, this one had pieces, including a catch tray, that I could just take out and clean in my kitchen sink.
