Do the compartments detach from the grill? I don't really need them but I love the size of this shaker.

Yes, it all disassembles. You can use the grill with or without the compartments,it just sits on the lip and is held down by the lid.

Yes, indeed. The compartments are attached in 3. You cannot separete them but they can be easily removed from the shaker.

Yes, the top grill grate comes off. Both the bottom small grate and the top grill grate can be used or removed.

When I lift the bag off the rack the bag does not come off the handles if that is what you mean. The handles are loose when they are off the rack but that is as designed so if you want to remove the bags from the handles it is easy to do so. I am very satisfied with the sturdiness of this product.

Yep, just pull them outward (away from the grill) and they fold down. They feel pretty sturdy too.

Yes, they are removable, but I use them for other items like spices or cups. Great item and it's really sturdy.

David, the handle does not detach. It is quite a bit stronger this way and is quite thin, so stores away readily.

Yes the grinder detaches, but the lid is connected to the grinder. So you would need to cover it with something else like aluminum foil or something.

The handles come unattached ,so yes you can easily detach them for transport.

Yes, everything stays in the specific compartments. I have never had anything move out of its intended compartment. I was a little curious myself and just performed an aggressive shake test and everything stayed in place. I do have four compartment with fine washers and all are in there intended bins. I am very pleased with this product and intend on order a few more.

Yes it does. There is a little tray that hangs below the grill to catch the mess. It works fine, but it's fairly shallow so you need to keep an eye on it and empty as needed. Pretty simple. They thought it out well. My only recommendation is that you take the time to clean the grill within a day or two after using, if not immediately.

Mine is loose but not very loose. I know it kind of adjusts to the size of what is being grilled. I hope that helps answer your question somewhat.

Yes. The grate does lift up and lean back allowing easy access to charcoal/ashes. However, it does not completely detach from the grill.

Yes, but I took it out. I think why is because when opening the lid it keep falling out. I've had it for awhile and still using it.

I am not sure what you mean by "separate from the grill." When you add the extra two cabinets on the bottom of the grill, next to the two cabinets that are already there, you will end up with 4 cabinets side-by-side, and also get twice the shelf space on either side of the grill. The extra two cabinets really make the grill look great, and doubles your storage space within!

The detachable handles do move a bit when attached. Nothing to worry about.

Yes, the lid is loose because it has to be able to make space for whatever it is that you want to grill. It will adjust to the size of the food that you put in there. I have had my grille for over a year now and it's still in great condition and I couldn't imagine my life without it. I use it every week usually a couple times a week.

Yes, you're absolutely right. The little "dots" are supposed to stay together as that is what holds the item away from the juice/grease. I just recently started using my grill (bought it back last Dec. online) & have cooked probably 5-7 items on it. I've had no problem with the food dropping to the bottom of the bag & when I take it out,, it appears all the little dots are still connected. I did tons of research before my purchase & IMO it sounds as though you might have some inferior bags.
