Great product but really expensive to ship to Canada
This product is just what I ordered. The only downside is the cost of shipping to Canada. The shipping was twice the cost of the product.

Mower saver
When a power surge destroyed the charger for my Black and Decker cordless mower, I was afraid I would not be able to find a charger for my mower. Checked all over town; could not find one. Finally checked with Amazon and there was the charger I needed! Received it and now I have my mower running again!

product as described
quick shipping, fair price, great product, worked like a champ to charge up my mower

Black & Decker "24-Volts" Charger
This Product was delivered very fast to me in Canada, works great,and I would definitely order from this site again.

Great buy for a small yard
I have been using this mower now for the past 2 months, and each time I mow my yard, I'm so thankful I went with this mower. It is quiet, easy to use, and was not too difficult to assemble. Being that there's no gas or electric power to it, the mower is always ready when you are with no prep or money involved. You will still need a weed eater however, as it does not get a close cut next to solid objects due to the wheels. And as other reviewers have stated, don't wait too long between trims because if the grass/weeds get too long, they tend to bend when the mower passes over, and then they won't be cut by the blades.

great mower
I am slowly shrinking my lawn due to high cost of water here in California, and I was also tired of the smelly, noisy motorized lawnmower. Buying this model was a good decision. It took just a few minutes to assemble. I love the sound it makes, swushh swushh.
The only negative is that if a twig gets in the blades it freezes up, but that is a quick 2 second fix, just move the blades backwards with your foot so the twig falls out and off you go again. No big problem at all.

I LOVE THIS MOWER
I have wanted a push mower for a long time but didn't want to spend the money. So I asked for one for my birthday (my husband was smart enough to also get me a spa gift card). I hate our gas mower as it blows grass into my face since the bag is slightly damaged from wear. When I used this push mower, I found its swirling blades to be melodic and hypnotic. I could mow the entire neighborhood. Also despite what I have heard regarding push mowers, this mower takes no additional effort over a gas mower. Matter of fact, it's much easier on inclines. It's so much lighter that it compensates for the lack of a power driven motor. The only hang-up is that it get's stuck on the bark that finds its way on our lawn from the border. I have to use an edger around the perimeter of the yard so I just whack down the stray blades that way. Now if there was only a manual edger ... can you imagine? Mine's the corded electric variety so that will have to do. No fumes, no noise, no heat, no grass clippings in my face or projectiles hitting my shins. They should have invented these things a long time ago! ahaha

A Great Tool - Makes me wonder where else I can change
I received the mower several days ago and the grass can't grow fast enough for me. I love using this thing. My experiences have been similar to those of many other users.

POSITIVES:
1) I instantly became the neighborhood oddity, but have had several people ask to try the mower.
2) I was more than happy to sell the power monster in the garage that has cost me hundreds of dollars in repairs and gasoline over the last few years.
3) I love the fact that I never have to empty grass clipping bags. The grass just spits out the back of the mower to simply mulch. Every time you go over the lawn again, stray clippings will get cut up a little more and you won't even know they are there. For longer grass you might want to run the mower over the clippings a few times just to chop them up a little more. It's cool that I have that much less waste to put out on garbage day.
4) The lawn has a very clean, even cut look which is really hard to describe, but definitely noticeable.
5) You don't reek of gas exhaust when you finish.
6) The entire process of cutting my lawn (a smallish, suburban thing, maybe 1100 sq. ft) takes significantly less time because I just pull the mower out, use it, then put it away. Done.
7) Hitting a hidden foreign object like a rock or a neighbor kid's baseball does not result in a gut wrenching crash of machinery leading to a probable blade replacement. This mower just stops moving forward until the offending object is removed. You will never have flying projectiles launched from it either. It is much safer for dogs, kids and shins.
IMPORTANT:
1) It does take a little bit of effort, no more than a non-self propelled power mower, but you definitely have to push the thing. It is very light, but it's not like floating on air. It's good full body exercise!
2) As mentioned in other reviews any twig thicker than a chopstick will jam it. If you have a yard with lots of trees, it could get to be a hassle, but those yards with a few (or none) trees will discover you find most of the twigs the first time you use the mower and with subsequent mowings this is not a problem.
3) Although I've only had it for a short time, I can tell this will not be a tool that never needs maintenance, but an every two year blade sharpening and routine WD-40 treatment will allow this tool to work for more years than I will be alive. I am not a mechanically inclined person so this is great for me.
4) Uneven terrain proves to be a challenge and forget getting close to walls and buildings or power mowing through heavy growth. As others have mentioned a weed trimmer will be needed to get to hard to reach areas.

As I get older I've developed a clear desire to start dumping complex machinery and systems for simpler, more self-sufficient tools. This mower (as I'm sure many other brands of reel mowers are) is a great affirmation of that desire. It inspires me to look for other areas in my life which can be boiled down to the "power mower vs. reel mower" analogy. If the other differences are as stark as this one, I'm definitely going to have some fun.

Works great!
I have had this mower for a couple of weeks now, I use it to mow my almost quarter acre of lawn every 4-5 days and it has been working wonderfully. Cuts the grass well - leaves a nice smooth finished look. I got this one to replace my 3-4 year old Scott's mower that used to work just great (I had it tuned up twice but it never worked right again - not blaming the mower, it was used to death!), so I got this one, which was cheaper on Amazon. If this lasts me 3-4 years I will have gotten my money's worth and more.

Poorly Made!
I have not yet used this smoker, so I can only comment on the aesthetics of this product. It was easy enough to put together, but extremely poorly made. First of all, it arrived damaged. I'm not sure whose fault that was, although I saw no evidence of damage on the box and I read at least one other review that stated it arrived damaged. There was a huge dent on one side of the smoker. My husband had to knock the dent out with a hammer, since I intended to use it for Thanksgiving and wouldn't have had time to send it back. Although as it turned out, I didn't use it. The material it's made of is very flimsy and the seams didn't match up on one side, making insertion of the screws difficult. As another reviewer stated, if I had seen this smoker in a store first, I definitely would not have purchased it.

Enjoyed every weekend since I bought it!
Great lil smoker. Only downside is temp gauge. It would be better if it was numeric.

Budget Smoker
After several hours of searching and reading reviews of many different budget smokers I bought the Meco 5031. Easy enough to assemble. Kinda cheaply made, but it is a budget unit. I did check out the competition (under a 0) at the Big Box stores and they were cheaply made also. You get what you pay for! I have used this smoker once and it did a fairly good job. The Pulled Pork tasted great,was tender and moist. I did find it difficult to regulate the heat with the vents in the lid of the unit. Could best control in side heat by adding small chunks of lump coal at a time and leaving the top vents wide open. Hopefully with more practice I'll get this part down better. So, if your on a very tight budget this will get the job done with a little bit of babysitting. If your budget will allow, and you like quality built items,maybe spend the 0 to 0 for a better unit.

Best smoker on the market....
The Meco smoker has really won our family, this is the second one we have purchased. We have tried other smokers but none other is as consistent with preparing food quality, it is always cooked evenly and throughly. The price is pretty amazing also, we got a extra 30 dollars off for registering with Amazon Visa, so we got it for 46 instead of 76. I do highly recommend this product...if you, enjoy great food!

My son loves his smoker!
Bought this smoker for my son for Christmas. First of all, it arrived about a week before I expected it, which was great. My son has already used it 3 times since Christmas and is just delighted with the results. He says it cooks faster than he expected, but the flavor and juiciness of the meat is terrific. The size is fine too - he has cooked ribs and sausage for 6, and also a whole large chicken. He has already recommended this smoker to a couple of his friends!

Very disappointed in the Air Conditioner
Likes:
- Large BTU rating for a large room
- Easy to install
- Remote

Dislikes:
- Noisy, very noisy. Hard to hear TV when this was on low
- The AC started making metal on metal grinding sounds after one week

Amazon was brilliant at taking the unit back, via UPS no less!

Unfortunately this AC was subpar in terms of build and materials.

Some nifty features.
It does a reasonable job cooling. I have a good sized room and it runs 50% of the time for a 10-15 degree difference. The remote temp sensor is a nice feature, though sometimes it stops working and then the ac doesn't run. You just have to reenable it and it keeps going, but sometimes you don't realize it until you wake up sweating. The ionic air purification is also nice. I use the "sleep" timer during the day when I'm not home. Programmable temperauture settings would have been a nice feature.

Does its job
I like the remote feature; it cools the room fast, pretty strong motor circulates the air quickly.

Great ac for the money
Loved the ac but Amazon sent us 3 all through UPS & they all arrived crushed. Even tried overnight air & it was crushed in the bottom so the condensor was tilted backward & sounded like a helicopter running. I recommend this ac but don't buy it online go get one yourself & open the box & check every inch of it out before you leave the store. That's what we ended up doing!

Had it for a month and am very pleased so far
If you are looking for an a/c that is going to turn a large space into Antartica, this isn't the a/c for you ... but if you have a mid-sized room and want it nice and cool with low humidity, you will love this a/c. Really does a good job. The sleep mode is great, as are the fan controls. I'm not sure how accurate the temp on the remote is as it always feels quite a bit cooler in here than the remote indicates, but maybe that's because my desk is only a few feet away from the unit. Easy as pie to install, no damage during shipping or delivery.

pleased
Price is good, Delivery was good, After 2 weeks of use--the unit is running very good so-far.
The best part about the unit is---it's the only model/company that has an AC that will turn itself back on after a power-outage!!
Here in Los Angeles, we have many power outages every summer.
I looked high and low and the SPT is the only unit offering this feature.

Plus***the sales dept./salesman, Mr. Wyn at SPT is VERY helpful, extremely knowledgable and customer satisfaction oriented.

I give their customer service/sales an A++, and their AC unit an A+.

Enjoy

Review the right item!
Its two years since I purchased this and happened upon this link today. I remember doing a great amount of research when I bought this unit. It is NOT like the one being reviewed with 2 stars.

One key point - it has two hoses - input and output (not one like many units out there). It's very good at evaporating the water it takes out of the room (the two hoses are supposedly responsible for this efficiency). I have yet to empty the tank. The unit comes with a window package that holds the tubes in place (its made of heavy duty plastic).

As to moving it around, no big problems - it is a beast to move on the stairs, but ..... its an air conditioner, not a fan.

I normally use it to cool down a 20x20 room (9 foot ceilings). It does take longer than I'd like, but if it's a humid night, it gets the room in a "sleepable" condition in about 1 hour.

The reason for not giving it 5 stars is that the remote control gives you options that you can't get from the panel. If you lose the remote, you lose the functionality (there may be a secret set of buttons you push to get the function, I haven't figure them out yet). The manufacturer's site is lacking in docs.

Great A/C
I bought this AC after reading the 2 star review and I am very glad I did. I live in the college dorms and this AC does an excellent job cooling my room and I have not experienced any of the concerns posted by the other reviewer. I've got a few other friends with Portable A/C units and none work as well as this one.

The wheels roll fine on the dorm room carpet, I've had this A/C for over a month and have yet to empty the water tank, and this A/C gets my room as cold as I could ever want it, and could get it even colder if I so desired.

I got this unit on sale for ~0 and this has been a great investment.

Perfect for small apartment
We needed an air conditioner for a small East Village apartment in New York City for one of our kids going to school there. The apartment windows are on the south side. The alternative to this kind of portable unit was to have (and pay) for the installation of a window bracket and still buy a unit - so we gave it a try. It does a great job given the windows allow the blast of hot sunlight in the afternoon (curtains are bound to help).

There is NO issue with water drainage when it is just being used as an air conditioner. The unit auto-evaporates as it works. According the the manual you only need to worry about drainage when you have it in dehumidifier mode. NYC is plenty humid in the summer and there has been no problem with the unit - which is humming along 24/7 for two weeks now.

It is wonderful not to have a window blocked with an air conditioner box - or to worry about taking it out for winter (or covering well enough to keep out the cold). Things that would improve this unit: include small screws with nuts instead of sheet metal screws to attach the exhaust conduit to the plastic window 'sleeve' - and toss in the box some standard foam window weather stripping to pad underneath the window-sleeve.

Ineffective
I bought this unit to cool a small living room. I've had it for a a little over a month and have tried a number of the suggestions referenced and it still doesn't do a great job. It cools the room a couple of degrees after running for 2 or 3 hours. We have a window unit (LG) that is 5,000 BTUs and does an incredible job in the room. I wouldn't waste the money on this. If I could return it, I would.

Important to Read Before Using
I set this A/C up in the 6 easy steps. They forgot one VERY IMPORTANT THING. There is a plug (which is not listed as a part on the parts list, or even mentioned in the instructions) which needs to be inserted in to the back of the unit. Since it wasn't mentioned anywhere (and it was not in with the parts, but rather sitting unwrapped a the bottom of the box) we didn't notice it, or put it in. As a result the unit poured water out all over the carpet after only 5 hours use, that carpet was absolutely soaked! After inspecting it, I looked in the box and there, underneath all of the bottom packaging, was the plug. Never mentioned anywhere to make sure it is inserted. Not mentioned at all. Other than that, nice little unit. Could be a little colder, but it is worth not having the window clogged up with a window unit. Nice product!

more trouble than it's worth
I was in the market for a new air conditioner for my 12x15 bedroom, and upon reading the other customer reviews was sure that for the size, BTU, and price the Haier CPRB08XCJ 8000 was going to be the right fit for my needs. Upon setup and as I began using the product I ran into several issues.

The first was that the directions on setup and installation were unclear, even for such a seemingly simple process.

Secondly, while the air conditioner is said to cool a room up to 250-300 sq feet, it was struggling to cover my 180. And while it does seem to do a better job at dehumidifying than cooling, the amount of drainage from the collected water is unmanageable. The product was said to be mostly self-evaporating with a reservoir tank that will hold the excess. I was aware that the unit may need occasional drainage. I however am unable to run the unit for more than 3-4 hours before the tank is full and shuts itself off completely. Since I am using this in my bedroom there is no convenient way to drain the tank without either completely detaching it from its window fittings and rolling it into my bathroom, or allowing it to drain into pots or pans and carrying them to the kitchen sink. The other night, while I was sleeping, I attempted to just allow the unit to drain as it cooled into a spare aluminum casserole pan but the amount of water was so great that halfway through the night it had already begun overflowing. I'm going to try to find some rubber hose to fit to the drainage spout to put out my window, but without elevating the incredibly heavy unit I cant see how it will ever truly drain efficiently. I could forgive this extra inconvenience if the unit was effectively cooling my small room, but it is all around lackluster.

Thirdly I think calling this air conditioner portable is a little misleading. In order for me to move the unit into another room I need to unplug the unit from the wall, disconnect the exhaust hose, unscrew the window fitting to change the size and remove it from my window frame- then transport the unit to the other room and refit the exhaust hose and window fittings . It doesn't sound like too much, but the whole process takes about 15-20 minutes. i suppose by purchasing several of the panels that go into the window frame I could keep those preinstalled into other windows in the house, but with all of the extra expense and hassle I just don't think this air conditioner is worth the fuss.

I had also tried researching some troubleshooting methods, but Haier doesn't even list this product on their website.

Lastly, because I purchased the air conditioner sponsored by amazon but sold by this company called Beach Audio I cannot return the product to amazon. Beach Audio has a 30 day return policy that excludes certain items including air conditioners regardless if they are defective or not. It was my mistake for not researching this before my purchase, but I was told that their return policy was 30 days and I didn't see the need to investigate it further.

Really good gizmo!
Firsr of all, most of the sites you visit to research this AC have the dimensions all screwed up.
It is: 18" wide 13.5 " deep and 24" high. It is also a bit heavy.

However, that said, it works really well. I have a room app. 400 sq feet, which serves as a home office by day and a bedroom by night (Murphy bed.) It't not noisy in an unpleasant manner- it creates a white noise that may actually be an aid to sleeping, very similar in sound quality and volume to the Sound Oasis machine I usually turn on at night.

Setting it up was little tricky, given that I have sliding windows, no floor space in front of the window, and had to position it on the corner of the desktop. The actual setup time was less than an hour. The exhaust hose is a bit awkward to handle, but I wrestled it into position OK. It has coasters so that one can roll it from one room to another, but I have no intention of doing this, so I can't say if it is a useful feature. Given the stiffness of the hose and the type of the connections, I wouldn't rely on that feature very much. It might come in handy when rolling it away for the winter.

The only question mark remaining is the water situation. My understanding is that when using the cooling function, it extracts moisture from the air and recycles it internally. If one uses it to dehumidify only, then the water accumulates and needs to be drained. So I will be watching to see if there is a problem with accumulation and what a solution might be, such as a drainage hose. Summer here in New England has been hot and humid ( I know- it's worse wherever you are!), but I'm confident this will do the job.

The price may vary a lot. Do a search for the best price before you commit.

Stay cool!

great grilling
Fantastic Grill. Had no problems with assembly other than there was no written instructions and you had to guess how tight you wanted the bolts. Even grilling and side burner is very useful

Grill - Excellent, Weber factory packing job, not so great
As has been mentioned, over and over again by others, the grill is great; solid, performs well, and assembly was not difficult. Amazon and the freight carrier were excellent, the pallet with grill/box arrived without a scratch. My only real complaint is with the Weber factory. They built a beautiful grill, then when packaging it, they scratched the front of one of the doors - about 3" long. There are even dirty fingerprints across the scratch, showing on the finish, that seem to say "oh, did I make that scratch", and they packed the door anyway - Completely unacceptable when paying this much for quality. I know it happened at the factory because I was very carefully unpacking every layer of the carton, and immediately saw the scratch. Then to top it off, it appears another worker lost their chewing gum into the carton just before sealing it closed (possibly the same careless worker). The gum was squished over the end of the grill lid, on the cast aluminum side. There is no way this is packing material (with a blue tint and gum smell...?). Sounds like with the clear fingerprints and the nice DNA sample in the gum, I should send it to Weber to let them locate and fire the careless worker. It isn't like you don't notice if you loose your gum into a grill carton while you are working. It was simply IGNORED. Other than this, I am very pleased with the grill, and think Weber should either send me a replacement door or a free accessory to account for the damage.

Side note for the factory - they need to place protective film on both of the doors to protect the finish. One door was cover by a slip of cardboard, the other (top packed) only had a thin (like paper) foam sheet that offered near zero protection (the scratch was however under this layer, indicating it happened before the worker packed the door).

Happy grilling, and may your grill arrive without the fingerprint and DNA samples =)

Sent back due to shipping damage - Excellent Customer Service
Item shipped/arrived as expected but started to unpack in and noticed that the grill hood had another part rubbing on it during shipping and the porcelan had been rubbed off to the metal. Amazon and Weber have been very accomodating thus far. We also decided to get the S-320 (stainless steel) because, although nice, the copper color was lighter than we expected as well as the stainless steel grates and flavorizor bars (which, I believe, will be worth the extra money in the long run) on the S-320 model. You may want to see this color in person before ordering it on-line.

Cooks Greate - Quality questionable
Purchased an EP-320 based on all the wonderful reviews. Quite disappointed.

Assembly instructions are great if you like all pictures and no instructions. I prefer instructions to complement the pictures. That and the fastners inventory comes seperately of the instructions and the fastner pictures on the assembly instructions do not always match the fastners. You have to cross-reference everything with the fastner inventory to make sure you have the right fastners as the pictures in many cases are wrong. Anyway thats a nit.

Reason I am disapointed is for some reason the cookbox on my unit will not rest low enough into the frame to install the gas manifold and control knobs correctly. So I called Weber. Even though I told them it wasn't, they figured the right frame was bent and sent me another. So guess what the replacement frame they sent me was bent :-( I also should note that the nice pretty copper top, it came with a bubble in the paint...so Weber had to send me one of those too. And no the box was not damaged in shipping.

While waiting for the bent replacement frame, I went ahead and completed assembly as the defect was minor and caused no real harm... Wanted to cook on the BBQ for my birthday as it was my birthday present. But no. no. no. Good thing I took the time to do a gas check after assembly as the gas manifold had a bent fitting where the regulator enters the manifold and a gas leak. Can we say boom.

So I called Weber, they tell me not to use the grill (duh! - its leaking propane). They sent me a new manifold and ask that I return the old one so they can investigate how the defect may have occured (Makes me happy to know they take enough pride in their equipment to seek to prevent re-occurance so they get a plus for that.) After installing the new manifold, I am able to cook a couple things on the Grill - Wonderful cooking machine - best grilling I've ever seen. Gets hot fast - even heat - I can even able to bake in it and not burn stuff (baked Salmon and Potatoes last night)

But the cookbox / mainifod will still not rest low enough for the control knobs to be installed right. I look, look, look and can't figure out what the heck is the problem. I check to make sure the frame is square, level, etc. Yep all is good. I also compare the the replacement bent replacement frame that Weber sent me (door mount was bent not the frame itself) and they look the same.

So I drop by Lowe's to compare to an already assembled unit. The mainifod on their assembled unit rests in the frame very nicely. I look and look to see if any differences in assembly. All I can see if Lowe's installed one support on the frame upside down from what I did. So I go back home, check the instructions over twice and confirm I installed the part properly but just for the fun it I take everthing apart and switch the parts orientation just to make sure. No it didn't solve the problem

So tommorow, I'm back on the phone with Weber. Not sure what to think as I can't figure out what might be causing the problem. I'll update review later once I hear back from Weber.

If it wasn't for all the defects I'd give this grill a 5 star rating. It cooks great. But given it came with multiple defects and given one defect was very unsafe.... And given replacement parts sent to me were also defective I cannot give it better than 3 stars.
Eventually I expect the problem will be resolved. Weber seems more then ready to throw parts at it but way too much of my time and frustration are involved - it was my birthday that got messed up.

Update: Finally go the BBQ fixed. So long story short, after several more hours of trouble-shooting I decided the burners were also bent and asked Weber to sent me some. Now my birthday present is all fixed works like a charm. Again excellent grill - can cook so much better with this grill then past grills.... If only it wasn't broken on receipt.

Great grill!
We're really pleased with the Genesis E-320 grill. It cooks evenly and holds temperature steady throughout cooking. If this product holds up as well as our previous Weber (13 years traveling all over the country, as well as being used most nights @ home), we'll be over the moon!

THREE STRIKES YOU'RE OUT!
First grill arrived with nuts and bolts scattered throughout the box, thermometer was rattling, and some parts were unpackaged. Second grill arrived with a dent in the top of lid. Third grill arrived with a dent in the back of the lid. Three strikes you're outta here!

Horrible product...
This grill is a piece of junk. We should've bought the Weber. We saw this on sale in Target, and it had stainless steel burners, so we thought we'd try it out. Took it home. Spent over 2 hours assembling it. There are two swinging doors on the front. One is sized incorrectly and you can't open/close it without it scraping against the grill's frame. It squeaks horrendously and you can see the paint will all scrape off in just a few days, probably start to rust.

But if that was the only problem, I'd have been satisfied. But then I get to the final pieces of assembly and find an extra screw laying all by itself in the bottom of the box. I double checked everything and saw I'd put in all the screws correctly. Then I lift the hood and see one of the screws in the back of the hood was installed incorrectly. Whoever was running the drill in the factory wasn't paying attention. They stripped the screw out and busted the welding on the screw housing loose in the process. Then just packed it up after they ruined it.

After all that, I am so steamed, but don't want to pack the entire grill up after spending 2 hours assembling it, so figure maybe we can just get by with a single screw missing. So I hook up the gas tank.

The one credit I can give Brinkman is they make it very clear you should test all the gas connections before turning the grill on. I did so and the fitting from the grill into the gas tank was leaking. Couldn't be fixed. I look inside the fitting and see the seal is cracked!

3 things wrong with a brand new grill?? I can't even seal the gas flow?? If there was just one mistake, I'd chaulk it up to coincidence, but 3 big errors on the same grill. Obviously all manufacturing errors. This is the worst consumer experience I've had in a long time. Do not buy this grill!

Nice Grill!
This gas grill is very nice for the price. Assembly was quite easy and I thought the manual was very easy to read. The Grill also looks good when assembled.
I have cooked a variety of things on it and this grill is very adjustable (temperature)from one side to the other,for instance ,
chicken breast on one side and steak on the other.
I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Assembly took all day, but finished product is great!
The grill comes in a box with literally zero pieces put together, so assembly took an entire afternoon and no small amount of trial and error. But now that it's assembled we love it. It heats quickly and evenly, with good controls on the burners.

Duo Griller
The Duo Griller is the best of both worlds. I got mine Duo Griller home already put together, because it was the last one at the store.I got it for the gas grill for me and charcoal grill for my wife in one package. I wish the gas grill would have better parts and the charcoal grill top would seal better for smoking meat.This grill is not perfect ,but it will do the job fine hopefully for a long time. I got the side fire box , but I have not install it yet. I am still undecided if I will add it to the Duo Griller. For those who want one ,please shop around. I got the Duo Griller for 0, the grill cover for , and the side fire box for . Note the TableTop Grill, item 2-2424 will work as the sibe fire box.

Great grill at a great price!
WHEN I TELL YOU THIS IS A GREAT GRILL, I MEAN IT. IT DOES EVERYTHING! I PURCHASED ONE THE CHARCOAL GRILLS A FEW YEARS BACK AND IT HAS HELD UP BEAUTIFULY. SO WHEN I SAW THE DUAL GRILLS AT A LOCAL KROGER STORE I HAD TO HAVE ONE. YOU NEED TO SHOP AROUND ON THE PRICED THOUGH. I SAW THEM LAST YEAR FOR ABOUT 9 BUT I PURCHASED THIS ONE FOR 9 ALL READY PUT TOGETHER OR ONLY 9 IN THE BOX. THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE COVER OR SIDEBOX BUT IT IS STILL WAY CHEAPER THAN WHAT I'VE SEEN ON THE INTERNET. THEY HAVE ALSO IMPROVED THE WHEELS DRAMATICALLY.
THIS IS A GREAT GRILL FOR THE MONEY. IT IS SO GOOD THAT I PURCHASED EIGHT OF THEM FOR CUSTOMER GIVEAWAYS! YOU WON'T BE SORRY IF YOU PICK THIS GRILL.

Amazon over priced
This grill is very easy, 45 min max for assembly (requires 2 people) even non-grillers can use with ease. However, the local Home Depot and Lowe's sells this grill for 0. 5 if you want them to assemble it for you. Plus they keep it in store. It doesn't take a math whiz to see that Amazon is gouging you on the price, it's 7.00 or 7.00 with shipping and you have to wait for standard delivery plus you still have to assemble it yourself. SHOP AROUND!!!!

PRICE RIPOFF!!
This product is easily found at other locations for 0 or more off this ridiculous price!!

Grillin Machine
I just got this item over a week ago. So far I have used the propane and also I bought the side smoker add-on and have smoked some ribs. This thing is awesome in my opinion, for the money. I contemplated buying a Weber gas grill but really wanted to get into smoking and this was the right choice. I can now smoke meat on Saturdays and still grill dinner on the propane side while the meat is smoking on the charcoal side. I have only just started but I expect to enjoy this grill more and more as I become a more experienced smoker. If you get it with the smoke box (Lowes sells it too) be sure to search the web and find the recommended mods people have done to improve on it even more. Gotta go, gonna grill something!

Great Grill - once it's put together
After seeing so many stainless steel grills begin looking nasty after the first year, I did some hard looking through Amazon reviews to find this grill. And with a few exceptions, I'm not disappointed.

First the good:
The grill is very heavy and very stable. I've used it extensively for a month without cleaning out the bottom - including hosting our housewarming party where I cooked numerous burgers and brats - and I can't say that I've had the fire issue others have mentioned. The grease seems to drain into the grease bowl pretty well. The fire is hot, flare ups are kept to a minimum, and the temperature is very even accross the entire grill.

The bad:
1. Make sure you buy a cover. I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but after the first rain, the igniter went out. Additionally, mist is getting into the thermometer. No need to buy the official grill cover for this though.
2. The box is heavy. As such, when my grill was delivered, soem of the parts were bent.
3. Worst of all, the instructions for assembly of this grill are horrible. If you do buy the grill, make sure you're good at putting things together. Additionally, they don't tell you what direction to put many of the parts on, so make sure you read multiple steps ahead to ensure you are putting things together properly. Throughout the first 10 steps, there were at least two occasions wher eI had to take things apart and rebuild them due to the instructions not telling me which way to put the item.

As far as customer service goes, I can't complain. I called to ask for a replacement igniter module as well as two pieces I had to break to take the grill apart rebuild it, and they are sending them. Don't ask for support via email though...I'm still waiting for a response to that.

Would I buy this grill again? Well, I'm not afraid of doing work to get a good value...so I would. I am quite handy and do most of my own work around the house, yet if I would've known the headache of assembling this grill, I probably would've tried to find it in stock at a store and had them assemble it.

Had to return on delivery....But gave this Char-Griller a second chance...
I ordered this grill from Amazon in anticipation for some Memorial Day Grilling. Box came delivered with gashes in it and reinforced with tape. I thought, ok, maybe the box was only damaged and the grill itself is ok. I was wrong. Huge dents in two of the largest part components. Looks like a forklift ran into it. Not sure how the company can continue to deliver this product in this condition when it was supposed to be brand new. One star for now based on poor business judgement to deliver damaged product.

Update: Returned the original grill due to the dents and bought the same one at Menards. Assembly is fairly complicated and took 2 hours.

Pros: Heats up very quickly to 650 degrees within 10 minutes
Cooks evenly
Grates are in 3 pieces and small enough to fit in dishwasher
Large cooking surface area - can cook up to 10 - 12 burgers at a time
Relatively Cheap
Sturdy feel

Cons: Grease/oil collects and pools without draining properly into drip pan
Some grease actually drips out off the grill itself
Higher than average flare ups
Easy to lose food due to 3 piece grates and gaps between grates
Assembly is tedious

Nice grill for the money.
We recently purchased this grill from a local home improvement store for 9 and I am impressed with it. It seems to be well made and has some nice features such as the side burner, all-metal parts except for the wheels and knobs, and an electric starter for the main burners. The grill has a three piece porcelain coated grate, which is really nice for cleaning purposes because a large single grate can be somewhat difficult to tote around and clean in the sink. If you normally grill small amounts of food like my wife and I do, I can just cook on one section, pop out that single grate, and the other two stay in the grill. Probably what I like about this is the amount of heat it puts out. After putting it together, I turned on all three burners and let it run for a few minutes to burn off any oil left on the grill. It was showing almost 700 degrees in less than 10 minutes and that was with the two chimneys on top. I have not used the side burner, but it looks plenty powerful enough to do some decent cooking such as heating up beans or boiling corn. The side shelf is very sturdy and has hooks for hanging grilling tools. The LP tank is smartly placed on the wheel side, which makes moving the grill much easier and the tank is held securely with a long screw that extends through the holes in the bottom ring of the tank. It has a nice warming rack that stays secure, and has the capability to have other accessories added including a rotisserie.

I saw some reviews online that complained the grill is hard to put together, but I had no trouble. With minimal help from my wife to help line up holes, we had it put together in less than an hour using a screwdriver and an adjustable wrench. It would be quite a bit more difficult to do by yourself, but could be done.

As far as complaints, I really only have a couple. First, some of the metal parts were bent a little bit out of the box. This may be a result of handling after it left the factory, but I don't think so. The problem was minor and not noticeable after assembly. Second, the grill is made in China, which is just a personal gripe and not necessarily a dig at the product itself.

Overall, we are both happy with the purchase, especially considering it came in at less than 0. Yes, a Weber would be a much better grill, but it will also cost you more than twice the price. With minimal maintenance such as cleaning it and keeping the rust off, it should last many years.

Great grille for the price!
Excellent grill for the money! We just picked this grill up from Menard's (for $[...] after a $[...] mail-in rebate) and we couldn't be happier! While the assembly instructions leave quite a bit to be desired, that overall construction of the grill along with the features make it an excellent choice. The lid material is quite heavy and while only the test of time will tell whether the grill holds up, for only $[...] it is a risk we are willing to take.

Pros: Heavy construction for an entry-level grill, Great pricing if you can find it on sale, three burners light quickly and seem to heat evenly, and the larger cooking surface is very nice.

Cons: Poor assembly instructions

Overall this is a VERY good grill for the money and we would highly recommend it to our friends and family.

Good Product - Bad Instructions
To be honest, we haven't had a chance to use the grill yet, simply because it's around 10 below zero and we have 3-1/2 feet of snow in the yard, but we have gone over the it and everything seems just fine. Can't wait to use it. There is one thing I do have to say, is you're going to swear-a-blue-streak when you try to use the assembly instructions. They are by far the worst I have ever seen. What were these people thinking when they wrote this? My sugggestion for now (until they RE-WRITE the instructions) is read them the best you can, then read them again. Make sure you have plenty of free time, like a Saturday afternoon, and take your time putting the grill together. It's not all that difficult, it's just that you need to go step-by-step, and it's not all that clear. Good Luck and Happy Grillin'

Great grill
I love my new grill. It was easy to assemble and works great. Being a Weber is a plus as I know it is a quality item.

Simply the best?
I purchased this product from Amazon because finding a BBQ with gas hookup in stores is vitally impossible and necessitates a special order. Also-I wasn't sure it would fit in my two door car so it saved me the effort of borrowing a car as well at the same price including shipping as the local Home Depot.

The box is HUGE and heavy so more than likely you will need two people to move this to an area for assembly. I did not assemble this item but understood it took about 3 hours. It is on wheels so the item is very mobile. After it was put together I simply rolled it to my gas hookup, turned on the gas and followed ignition instructions. Voilà, BBQ!

As you have read, the flame burns very even no matter where the food is on the grill and the Weber heats up fast! I recently had a 15 person party and grilled burgers and chicken fast and easily to raves from my friends.

Simply put- this BBQ does exactly what you want and need with a great flame. Sounds like great longevity as well but I obviously cannot speak to that at this time.

Note: I use this almost every day even to heat leftovers because it is so easy and makes the food so much more flavorful.
Note: the ignitor is not working due to being slightly detached from the button. Not sure if this is error from assembly or slight manufacturer error so I simply light with lighter stick- no biggie. I could prob Jerry rig a fix.

Item is a staple in my household!

Works Great
Works well. Don't plan on setting it up in 1 hour if you are by yourself. It heats up very quickly and lights with ease. Seems to cook real well.

My only real complaint is the plastic wheels on the base. They don't do much to keep it in place. When the wind started blowing the other night, despite the wheel locks, the thing rolled down my sidewalk and crashed. It was a big storm though.

Weber Natural Gas Review
I love it. It was actually easier to assemble than I thought it might be based on other reviews. I was plesantly surprised to find Weber had included all the tools needed to assemble it because it was not really spelled out--may have been my failure to review all notes. It works just like it is supposed to be, including the lighter--unlike other grills I have had.

Solid Little Performer
This grill is solid as a rock and very efficient. It fired up cleanly the first time, and it achieved a 400 degree oven heat in about 5 minutes. Beautiful, even flame. Be careful putting it together. The instructions are drawings, mostly without words, and not always as clear as they might be. But, the grill can be assembled in about an hour, even with a few retracing of steps.
