As the largest pellet grill brand, Traeger attract a lot of attention. Both positive and negative. A large part of the negative opinion seems to have come from a rough period Traeger went through in the mid 2010s when the quality of their grills suffered, and they moved manufacturing to China. Traeger seems to have righted the ship since then, and the grills they sell today are very competitive. I've owned a Pro 575 since 2020, and my experience has been overwhelmingly positive. This is the value sweet spot, and once you step up to the Ironwood and Timberline series you are definitely paying for the brand.
