Very useful grill and fun to use

Very useful grill and fun to use. Only downside is the amount of spatter.  Of the sides and back were a little higher, it would help. Also would not light as delivered. I needed to get a pliers and raise the igniter off of the burner tubes, then it fired right up. Would buy again, very versatile.

I love this grill.  My grill before this one was a low-rent hibachi, so anything was an improvement.
The compact size is great for small patios and apartment decks. I like the heat level (although others complain they can't get it hot enough) because it grills sirloins medium rare, doesn't burn salmon or tuna steaks, and won't overly char the veggies on your shishkabob.  I also make a great olive bread in an iron skillet in it for 1/2 hr (take thawed frozen bread dough, knead some chopped green olives or other olives in, let rise in oiled 8" iron skillet, then bake for about 20-30 mins or till nicely browned-yum).
I traded my little gas tank for a bigger one at the propane store because the little tank ran out too often.
It is convenient to use, heats well, cooks like a dream, and cleans up easy.  All in all, a great little grill.  I like the design, too - space saving and cute.

I used this grill for about 4 years and it has held up very well.  It is very light weight, compact, and well built so it will last a long time.  It cooks fairly evenly except for the left rear corner (ignitor side), which seems to be the hottest area but you can use that to your advantage by sticking the biggest item there.

My issues with the grill:  With anything over a slight breeze I have to fight to keep it lit.  I would block as much wind as possible with coolers and such but it would still blow out frequently.  The handles aren't very well insulated so after grilling for a while they get very hot.  The ignitor is held in place by a metal bracket, which gets blistering hot.  This becomes a problem when the grill blows out and you have to re-light it.

All in all, it is a good grill with a few flaws.  It is well worth the price and performs well for grilling at home or while camping.  Just keep a set of oven mitts nearby if you are going to be grilling for a while!

This is a wonderful portable grill.  It cooks as well as my big Char-Broil infrared grill.  It had enough room for eight burgers and four hot dogs, and it heats quickly, cooks evenly, and is easy to clean up.  The case (sold separately) is also excellent.  All in all the best camping grill I have ever used, and I have been camping for about 60 years.

Really love this grill.  Did not buy it through Amazon, but was ordered for a neighborhood co-op swimming pool kitchen before I joined.
We are pretty heavy users and it is not unusual for us to run though 30-50 tri-tip steaks before noon, plus lots of burgers and hot dogs.
We also have it outdoors, and even with a cover it gets a little extra wear and tear from the weather during our heavy winter rains.
It's constructed with thick gauge stainless, so it's built to last.

The grill is very powerful and has fairly even heat.  If anything, the back is a little warmer

The club has had it for almost 10 years now, and a couple of maintenance items are due.

It has had one pilot light tube replaced already (called a "crossover tube" in the manual).  A little awkward and scary to light when the tiny orifices the pilot tubes get clogged.  No big deal for the regulars, but less experienced users are bothered by that.  One secret is lift the grill and lift a flavor bar and light the burner directly.  It works better with new pilot tubes.  For the ~$50 replacement cost it's hardly worth spending any time of the difficult task of cleaning them.

Also, some of the burners are in need of replacement.  The zinc coating has burned off and they are starting to rust.  A little rust wouldn't be an issue, but the orifice slots start to rust and some slots started to bridge together and wound up with too much flow.  Anyway, the burners are ~$35 on Prime and look to be fairly easy to replace.

All in all, very pleased with the grill and could even consider the half-size "30S" model for home use if I could afford it.

I've read many of the reviews here so far and I'll tell you I don't have a lot to add except perhaps my own personal story of my experience with this little grill.

My big grill broke and I had a couple of guests coming over for dinner. I was concerned I wouldn't be able to fit a lot of food on the grill. I was wrong! Thankfully.

I was able to get chicken breasts, beef/peach kebabs, and cajun zucchini on this grill - for four people - all at one time. I loved that I had some control over where the heat was concentrated, keeping the zucchini from burning and making sure I got that awesome char on the chicken and beef.

Fast forward to after the get together... after it cooled, cleaning truly took less than 5 minutes, not something I was used to with my big grill.

There are a lot of nice features in this grill (read the full description as they really are user-friendly!) that made this grill just heavenly to use.

I bought this set for my nineteen month old grandson.  His father just bought a new grill and I wanted him to be able to cook along with his daddy.  The grill is extremely well made - it looks a lot like a Weber grill with its well-known kettle shape.  You are able to easily move the grill by tilting it on the back wheels and pulling it along.  It has a nice weight to it but is easily moved by a toddler.

Along with the grill, you get two utensils:  a spatula and a pair of tongs.  Both utensils can hang from the wing on the side of the grill, which is also the pull handle for moving the grill around. There is a knob on the other wing that turn with a clicking noise - just like what you might have on a gas grill.  That same wing has a flat surface where you can keep other "cooking" items.  Those items include two hot dogs, two hot dog buns, two hamburger patties, two hamburger buns, and ketchup and mustard condiments.  The hot dogs fit snugly in their buns but the hamburger patties are not really fitted in the buns at all - they are all very loose but it didn't make a difference in fun play.

I have bought other food and plate sets for him to play with (especially those from Green Toys) and they all work really well together.  He loves to play vacuum and mowing the lawn, so now cooking at the grill will be a new game for him, too.  Little Tikes toys have been well made for many years - I bought them for my children when they were young and always had a good experience with them.  It is a brand that I trust for well thought out toys and one that I buy with security that they will be made to last.

I've had one of these for a couple of years now and I am very pleased with the quality.
The size makes this ideal for 1 or 2 people.  (Then again, how often do you really need to cook for 20!)
Some of the advantages I have found to owning this grill are:
*** Portability - Most grills tend to rust out fairly quick.  Since this one is so easy to move I bring it inside and store it after I have used it.  So far, there is no rust and it still looks like it just came out of the box.
*** No lava rocks or charcoal needed- Weber's Flavorizer Bars do a very good job at dispersing the heat.  The middle does cook faster than the edges but once you know this you can use it to your advantage by placing the items that take longer to cook towards the middle and leave the quick heating items on the outer edge.
The only disadvantage to this grill is the need to have small propane tanks.  In my area the dump will not accept them so disposal became an issue.  Fortunately I found a hose that connects a regular large propane tank, the kind you see on 'normal size' grills, to this grill.  (Check your local camping supply stores)
I hope you too enjoy this great little grill!

I bought the grill for father's day and found it a great purchase. I've been thinking about getting a new grill, but forking over hundreds of dollars for a standup felt a bit much. Even though the price of the go-anywhere grill is cheap, it is pretty solid. I've only used it once so far, but it works nicely. I can fit 4 ears of corn on the grill, 16 chicken wings or 6 teriyaki beef skewers. It took a few minutes to assemble the grill and is brain dead simple. the best part is the portability. I used it for the first time today and as the meat was starting to cook, it started to rain. Thanks to the unpredictable NorthEast weather. Since the grill is portable, I picked it up and moved to the garage. Try that with a standup grill.

I would gladly recomment the grill to friends and family

Our weber grill is a delight. We cook on it all the time. It is well built and I like the feature with the gas not showing and the side racks for placing what one with grill. This was a gift from our son and we are very happy with it.

Was easy to assemble small enough for my appartment balcony but has plenty of grilling space to cook for several people. I use it with Colleman gas. Canisters which I got at Target. Used it to grill 3 times so far and still plenty of gas left in a canister . I find the grill easy to operate and clean. I it he acts quickly and evenly. I'm pleased with it so far. Baer on just about one month use experience, I think it's a fine portable grill that's been a great addition to my cooking arsenal.ive grilled pork tenderloins, chicken and vegetables on it. It had plenty of grilling space to grip. Simultaneously for 3-4 people and two separately controlled burners alow to have two different temperature which I find convinient when grilling multiple  different items that  cook differently.

I've used this grill for a few years now for both tailgating and at my apt. It works well and I have yet to have a problem.

I don't know what people are talking about when they say you can't grill with the lid down. I have never had a problem with melting/warping when closing the lid.

POSITIVES
1. You can take off the grill plates and clean them-I love this
2. Easily folds up and wheels away
3. Holders on the side are useful

NEGATIVES
 None I can think of other than the fact that it is not a big grill or a real home grill.

Note-The grill without a special adapter hose can only use small propane tanks. I bought the $25 adapter and know I can use a large tank. It works great

I purchased this last week and have already used it a few times. While I do love many of the features of this grill, I gave it 4 stars because I think there are  a few things that could be improved.

For the price, it should come with extra plates. Also, I wish it had separate controls for each plate. Sometimes you might only want to use only one, or as I found out the other night, while using it in the flat position, the meat could have used a different temperature than the veggies, which I had on the other plate. That would be a huge improvement in my opinion.

The draining system worked great, as did the different levels with the floating hinge.

We haven't had a BBQ for a few years, after ours wore out, and this is a great replacement. You don't get the smoke flavour like a BBQ, but it's more convenient, and does a great job of browning because of the high wattage/heat.

I've always preferred charcoal grills over gas or electric grills, the flavor you get from charcoal just can't be beat and the control of temperature is much easier.  I've had this grill for well over a year now, so this is not a love at first sight review.  Bought the grill on July 3rd last year and my wife and I put it together early in the morning the next day.  The hardest part of the assembly (Other than dealing with the heat and 3 very curious dogs) was getting the ash catcher lined up just right.  It's pretty important that you do this correctly or you won't be able to use the damper, or clean the grill because the handle will not move enough for the blades to cover and expose the slots in the grill.  So we got it together and I lit a small fire just to burn off the new smell, but there was really none.  Later that evening I grilled a pretty thick rib-eye and a tuna steak for my wife.  Both came out perfect and I was able to get the flare ups I needed to get a good char on the steak and by closing the grill when the fish was cooking I was able to get a real smokey taste to the fish.  Later that month we had 22 people over and I was able to grill burgers and dogs for them with no problem at all, just by rotating the food over the coals I could cook the food efficiently.  We let this grill sit in the weather all summer, so it had a lot of rainy days over the past 2 seasons.  No rust anywhere on the grill.  I replaced the grate this year but that was by choice not need.  I use the Weber Chimney and the Weber fire starting cubes, Put down 2 cubes, fill the chimney with charcoal and no lighter fluid is needed.  I also used this when I smoked some ribs and was able to get new coals going to add to the grill after about 4 hours.  That is why the grates are hinged, so you can drop coals into the sides for indirect cooking.  The grill comes with 2 baskets that you place on the sides of the grill right under the hinged grates to allow this.  I've got to give credit to my wife for making me buy this model over the others.  The side tables are really handy, though the molded tool holders are not the best.  If you're looking for a grill that can go the distance, give reliable heat and not need replacing, look at this one.  One last thing.  The directions are there for a reason, you really have to read them to get it right!

I bought this after using a more conventional grill and am glad that I've made the change. It does take less time to cook thing and I still get the lovely grill marks. I've made a rib eye steak and a loin pork chop and both came out beautifully. It's a two burner unit which is one more than the regular Patio Bistro and that gives me a bit more flexibility for both quantity and cooking style. This one is large enough that I can cook 1 or 2  racks of spareribs. It cleans easily especially when I followed the seasoning instructions.
Because I have back problems, I can't bend and twist a lot so it is usually longer for me to put things together because I work for 15 minutes then have to rest my old back or knees. Not counting my breaks, it took about an hour to put everything together. All the parts were separately packaged, the instructions are all diagrams that are understandable. The Char-Broil are always helpful on the phones.
One egative comment:  I bought the cover that Amazon said is usually bought with it. That cover is made for the one burner unit and it doesn't fit. Char-Broil doesn't have a cover for the 360 as of October, 2016. I purchased a cover from another manufacturer thru Amazon Classic Accessories 55-303-360401-00 Grill Cover, X-Small, Black  which fits very well. The picture of the grill does not have the two side shelves extended, but the cover shows how well the cover fits with both the shelves up and down. I love both the grill and the cover.

Purchased this to replace my old Char-griller that has served me well. The new Weber I really like. There are a ton of accessories you can get for it and they are built to last with a porcelain finish and aluminum components. A few simple modifications and techniques and you have a smoker that can cover all the grilling and BBQ grounds. There are two things I have encountered with the assembly though. Number one is, insert the leg clips into the legs, NOT the bowl. Much easier to clip in. Second, my lid was very slightly out of round and didn't sit perfectly onto the bowl. I solved this by finding the long axis of the lid and, setting it on the grass and very gently bending it into round. Now the lid sits perfectly flush. All the features of this grill work very well. It is quite easy to control the temps with the bottom vents. I would not hesitate to buy another.

We love to grill lots of veggies, friends, and different cuts of meat as well as shrimp and lobster. This set made it easy to assemble the food and to cook them without losing pieces down inside the grill.
