Awesome BBQ! I owned this same one many years ago and got many years from it. The last different brand BBQ I have been using is a real POS. I received this one in prefect order. I was concerned a little because the box had some damage and was taped up. But no damage at all. All the parts were assembled properly directions were easy to follow took 20 minutes to put it together. Put it out on my deck hit the ignite button and it lit first time. I'm so glad to find this one again. And a tip I read a lot of people were confused about the wire on the chain. That is to hold a stick match to lite the burners if the igniter dosn't work.

Assembly was supposed to be easy peasy. The stand was assembled so incorrectly by the manufacturer. If I was sent an unassembled stand & assembled it myself I wouldn't have wasted so much time fixing all the manufacturer's mistakes. I'm so disappointed, 20 minutes assembly turned out to be 2 hours

On l'aime bcp parce qu'il est léger et facile à transporter. On l'utilise au camping et à la plage. Mais pour l'hiver je ne recommande pas. Ne garde pas la chaleur

It is exactly as described. It does a fantastic job of grilling. In fact, I think it does a better job than our full-size grill. I know some reviews said it was difficult to put together. I can't really speak to that because my son put it together and he did not think it was very difficult at all but it is heavier than I expected . Bottom line I'm really glad I purchased it.

It arrived quickly, was easy to assemble. This is the second bar-b-que we have purchased. We now have one at the trailer, our summer home, and one at home that we use year round.

I gave away my big clunker grill after my husband died, but I wanted something to grill on when my son comes over. This is perfect. I have an outside deck that I roll into when I'm cooking and when I'm finished I just roll it back in the covered deck . Super easy to clean all parts fit in my sink. It does collapse if you want to move it somewhere to your car. I would've liked it to be able to collapse and stand up straight next to the wall, but I just keep it up all the time since it's so compact. I have recommended it to everybody. The grill is large enough for four or five people if you want/. Just what I was looking for!l love the idea that I can use a small gas canister or switch to my large tank if I need to (which I don't ever think I will)!

This is my second purchase of this model in 5 years - old one finally rusted out from PAC NW weatherI have owned a lot of different grills by different makers but this one is the best for me because:+ Grill Size is perfect for cooking for 2 to 4 people+. Small footprint takes up very little space on my tiny patio+ Portable base makes it easy to move or take on a picnic+ Engineered to be easy to use - instant on, great heat control, easy to clean+. Never Burns Food - cooks quickly and evenlyOnly complaint - Amazon delivered late (due to excessive demand I guess)

I was lucky enough to find this affordable price because Amazon had this in their clearance discount section because of it tiny little scratch on one of the legs. I find that the portable barbeques a decent quality are so expensive and I have been looking at this model for a while. Well lightning struck for me and I was lucky enough to be able to afford to purchase. I’ve been using the barbeque now for weeks and it is quite sturdy. I like the grate as it’s cast iron. You have to take care with the casing though because it’s a bit on the thin side and could be easily dented so I put a cover on it all the time. But it’s very handy and very portable

This grill was good - we had one before and it worked all year round very well even in Canadian winters so we thought l’ogival to replace it with a new one. The box arrived and imagine our surprise half way through assembly when we realised the main leg assembly was faulty . The factory had put the spring on back to front making it impossible to rectify . Thinking it would be quickest to call Cuisinart to send out the replacement part led to a whole day on the worst customer service experience ever . The number listed in the manual nobody answers and nobody phones back when your leave a message . Tried 4 other numbers then tracked down the Canadian number . Referee me back to the first number so an infinite loop of zero service . Do decided to ask Amazon for a replacement . Imagine our further surprise when this also had exactly the same faulty part . It must be a whole batch that has been put together wrong by the factory ! So got Amazon go refund and ups pick up both huge boxes . Overall a very frustrating experience and will go into a physical store to purchase a new bbq grill .

I love the grill for its heat distribution, portability. There's a serious lack of understandable assembly instructions that are clear, in addition to No videos on the internet showing same. I'm a senior widow and assembly of stand took 2 hours, since I'm not used to using screwdriver, etc. Once the stand was assembled, the instructions given were extremely poor, and IMPOSSIBLE to seat the grill on the stand by myself. You really need a second person to hold the stand, or lift the grill onto the stand while you hold it. The grill itself is heavy. Once you get through, what should be a SIMPLE put- together and actually use a 1 lb. propane cylinder, light the grill, and start cooking, you'll be pleased. Grill has amazing heat for its size (15,000 BTU) and cooked my steak in the same amount of time as a full sized grill of the same BTU. Also, there isn't ANY indication in the description that an adapter hose needs to be purchased for use with a 20 lb. tank of propane. Now I'm still awaiting the delivery of that item from Amazon, when I could have purchased it at the same time, if given a heads-up in the description. The description was ambiguous and I could not determine if the adapter hose was required or not. Cuisinart, please take note!! As I'm happy with all my other Cuisinart appliances and products, I'd be shocked if this grill didn't give the same amount of quality service as the others. It seems that it was built to last. Just have a second set of hands to "seat" the grill on the stand, as it was impossible for me to do so. That is my major complaint which is why I could not give 4 stars in all categories.

As with any of my other reviews the brand is definitely key in a product selection in a good majority of decisions this product is no different. Cuisinart hits the mark all the way around on a great product. I'm glad I read the reviews I don't understand how the one guy had to throw his grill away after 3 months of owning it when the company will solidly stand behind any of their products. I'm glad I read the reviews and I found that somebody had a Miss manufactured or Miss assembled grill and my situation it happened here where it was made backwards and we had to figure it out and it didn't take 25 minutes. I'll tell you we did have an enamel problem on the grill and I suggest everybody to look at all the black and enamel pieces that are tied to the grill and if there's any chipping or any damage whatsoever why stick it on Amazon it's the responsibility of the manufacturer. They stood behind their product of my issue with high marks. Read the reviews again and learning cooking tips you can cook a perfect meal it does get hot fast and recover it's temperature quickly. I went so far as to line the bottom with aluminum foil so I have less concerns with easy cleanup.
