3.0 out of 5 starsA beautiful bbq BUT it takes A LOT of time and effort to clean!
Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2021
The BBQ is beautiful and very well constructed. Ours was unfortunately defective, as one of the screws inside that holds the gas burner down, does not screw to anything. The gas burner is loose and is not secure. It burners light easily, the food cooks evenly and the grill plates appeared to be a non-stick and easy-clean surface. This is NOT the case! The videos will show you to scrub with soap and water and wipe dry. Unfortunately it takes several pots of boiling water, a non abrasive scrubber, a tub big enough to soak both grill plates, a bucket to put under the grill to catch the boiling water the needs to be poured around the bottom of the grill to clear the soapy, greasy debris that collects during cleaning. It's best to find a microfiber cloth to wipe down at the very end. I have spent far more time cleaning the grill than cooking and entertaining our guests. I don't even feel like using the bbq anymore because of the amount of time and back pain I suffer when cleaning up the grill. I have spent most of today soaking and scrubbing the grill plates because the grease muck will still not come off with a brush. We spent close to $1,000 on this grill and all the accessories, and now we don't want to use it very often due to the amount of work. Frustrated and angry that we spent this kind of money on something we will now barely use.
***UPDATE 1 year later.... I'm down to 1 hr and 10 minutes of cleaning time after our bbq dinner. I want my life back, my nails back, reimbursement for the propane it takes to burn off the stuff that the cleaner does not get, and my money back! It's good exercise though! Several trips in and out of the house with the boiling water it takes to clean the bottom of the grill.
