cons:
1- the part over the ceramic heater is NOT stainless steel, this is where it counts the most. I will remove this part and get it made of high grade stainless steel someplace.
2- no thermometer :-(
3- the brackets where you screw in the legs are spot welded only.
4- Doesn't get too hot.
5- fat that drips will produce flames that make heat distribution uneven. (this doesn't matter at all).
pros:
1- portable,
2- big solid handle that doesn't get hot.
3- small outside yet very decent grilling surface. (about 12" x 12"). (I fit 1 massive steak, 3 pork chops and 2 sausages at a time).
4- Easy and quick to use,
5- gets ready to use almost instantly!!
6- the exterior doesn't get too hot.
7- I feel safe using this grill, knowing it is fast, not too hot, easy to manage. boom, boom, boom you're done.
8- has push-button start...yayyy!
9- SS grill rack with thick bars (tines, bars, whatever you call them), for easy cleaning and less sticking.
10- I Have had several grills in the past, this is the first time that I have obtained grill marks without over-cooking!!!! I can make grill marks now, I have achieved manhood!

I hope this grill lasts. I rather pay a little more for something that lasts. If this inexpensive grill lasts, I will be doing a victory run with the Rocky soundtrack. I think it will.

When you first open the shipping box, you find that the grill has already started to distingrate. Each time you cook with this grill more pieces fall off. If you paid three dollars for it, you could have a good laugh.

The manufacturing quality (or lack thereof) is unlike anything you have probably seen before. It sets a new low water mark for Chinese made products.

You will never have to clean the drip tray in this grille. Juices leak out all over the bottom of the grill, leaving the drip tray empty.

Forget cooking chicken on this grill, unless you love blackened chicken.

The manufacturer states that this Infrared Table Top Grill is "all Stainless Steel." It is not! Quality Stainless is made using nickel and creates a non-magnetic metal. This product is magnetic and is made in China out of some mystery metal, which one could only hope is non-toxic like so many other Chinese made products seem to be.

The earlier model, which looks the same, was once made out of quality Stainless and was constructed far, far better. The earlier model was also larger. This grill can't possible last very long in the manner it is constructed and would suffice for grilling for a maximum of two people, unless limited to cooking hot dogs.

So, if you want a table top grill for only one or two evens and one or two people for a limited period of time, you don't want to cook chicken and you don't mind a mess all over the ground, this grill might work provided the metal (whatever it is) doesn't contaminate your food and before eating, make sure that metal parts falling off have not landed in your food.

All-in-all, better to spend more money and buy a better made grill unless you want to experience first hand just how bad a Chinese made product can be.

Sucks when you buy cheap stuff online. The grill looks great - great grilling surface, assembles easily, fires right-up... but about 5 minutes into grilling - every damn time it POPS! and turns orange with flames coming out of the burner with a scary-loud hissing and popping noise to back things up. I shut it down... cool it off... and disconnect. i have used multiple tanks and even hooked-up a 5lb tank with an adapter - always getting the same results. There is a leak that is somewhere inside the the burners - and i dont think i should have to take the bbq apart to test for leaks. Needless to say, it does not make me feel safe.

I will probably update my review depending on how the seller handles my return...

this is a great item i own a hot dog cart business in the near future i plan on buyn at least 2 or 3 more they cook faster then your average gas grill look around you won't find a better price then on amazon for this item unless you want to bid on it then you will pay the extra money for postage anyways i rather pay $100.00 plus $21.00 for postage and know that im getting a great item THIS COMES BRAND NEW IN THE BOX ...THANKS AMAZON

We were impressed with the overall look and price but this grill only lasted through cooking three steaks and one batch of burgers! The battery operated starter will not work at all now (not the batteries folks). We cut a hole through the side of the grill and have to light it with an extended barbeque lighter now. At least at this point it will start every time. Guess we should have bought the real deal and not the fake copy! Other reviews warned of purchasing this copy. Another thing to consider is there is no warranty and no listing as to where to purchase parts if something fails or is difective. The grill that was copied stated that their parts do not fit the fake grill. Buyer Beware!!!!
Note: the grill does seal the meat and does a nice job of cooking.

An excellent grill if you love your meat seared on the outside and raw in the middle. Also works for overcooking meat if you choose to, you just have to turn it down.

This grill is a great, powerfull little grill ideal for small decks and balconies on apartment buildings. Great for 2 people.

Love Love Love the grill. Fills the bill for small two people meals. Great for veggies, meat, and kabobs, etc. Just what I wanted

its rare i write a review, but this little bbq is worth it. im a bachelor, and i dont need a big bbq. found this one, its perfect for a couple of good sized steaks and spuds. does an awesome job of grilling, best flavor yet for a propane bbq. heats up quick with no fuss. its sturdy except for the cheesey latch. dont need it anyways. if you need a low priced fast bbq that does an awesome job of grilling, this is it!!
