I bought this right before July 4th holiday I have used it 5x times so far and it performs flawlessly. Have made some really good steaks and burgers with it so far.  Has even heat, precise temp control.  The cooking surface is of heavy porcelain coated steal and entire grill is constructed solidly.   Is definitely worth the $$.  I've tried cheaper off brand portable grills before, and none hold a candle to this weber 2200.  And honestly, it really has quite a bit of cooking space for being considered a smaller portable grill, as you can grill 12 burgers at once.  I had five, 18oz  ribeyes on it last week, they all turned out exceptional.  I cooked 3 meals on 1 small bottle of propane, and was still fuel left in bottle.  I ordered the  hose as well, in case i want to feed it from a big bottle of propane when using at home.   Cheers, Trent
