We've had ours for 10 years now and it's been the best grill ever. All we've had to do in the time we've had it was replace the hose/regulator assembly. No rust (it's stainless steel) searing station is great for the two of us (we're blue to rare steak eaters), and the infra-red and rotisserie are terrific. finally smoked a brisket this past June and for a first ever attempt it was fantastic. Almost no assembly required (the igniter battery and handle light was all).
