I was looking for a solid, sturdy, durable gas grill. Was leaning towards Weber or Napoleon as everything else seemed like thin aluminum construction or just not nearly as sturdily built. I found this on sale and pulled the trigger. It was very quick to assemble, yet felt entirely different than the ikea feeling gas grills I'd built of past. Well designed. Haven't grilled yet, but seems to be even heat, powerful flame and lid holds heat much better. I like the modularity to be able to add on later, but pricey.
