| About This Brand |
|---|
This brand, known for its durability and dependability, went through an entire line and design change in 2007. Weber is known for its quality products in the midpriced to high-priced categories, and grills that feature coated cast-iron and stainless-steel-rod cooking grates and long-warranty stainless-steel burners. (The company offers a natural-gas version for most of its grills.) Weber recently introduced an infrared-searing station on some of its grills, updated its Q line of portable grills, and added colors to its entire lineup. Weber grills are available at many retailers nationwide. Grills range in price from $130 to $3,000. Note that Weber acquired Ducane about four years ago. |

Comment:
I bought this grill to pack in our Camper. Have to say it's been excellent. It's light and portable. Gets to a high heat pretty quickly. For the wife and I, it is a perfect size. Those with a big family might need some more cooking space. I also own a Weber Genesis, for bigger at home tasks. The quality on these units shows. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another.
How long have you owned it:

Comment:
When I purchased the Q200 in January 2012, it was a CR Best Buy. That was the first and only time CR has let me down. Q200 is a great size for two people. I bought the cart, propane tank adapter, cover, just about everything Weber offered with it. First use, it was great. Next time, it turned two steaks into charcoal briquettes on low flame. Third time, the igniter didn't work. I have spoken with at least 4 customer service reps, each of whom was more condescending than the last. Now I light it with a match, and the only way I can reduce the flame is to turn the gas almost off at the tank. If only I had kept the box ...
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Cooks great, lots of room, durable
Weakness
You have to remove the propane bottle support ring to use regular Coleman style bottles (instead of torch style bottles)
Most portable grills are junk. That's not the case with the Weber Q line. This grill is well built, cooks excellent (with good even temperatures) and is pretty resistant to flame up. I got sick of going through outdoor grills every few years and decided to go with the Q. Now I can just take it inside when I'm done and store it out of the elements. Great for camping too because it's so portable.

A great grill for home or on the road

Strength
Weight, Construction, Flexibility, and arecognized brand.
Weakness
Lowes and HomeDepot do not carry anything for this grill where I live. Side work surfaces are not as sturdy as I had hoped, but should handle the weight for most tasks.
I purchased this grill based upon reviews here as well as other places. Needless to say the reviews were very accurate. This grill is of great quality, and should last quite awhile. Some of the things that impressed me most was the simplistic construction of the grill and the attention to detail in the cast iron cooking grate. The areas of the the grate that are positioned of the the burner are solid cast iron which will help prevent flare ups as well as give a greater surface area to heat the remainder of the cooking surface. This also helped to evenly distribute the heat instead of having hot spots over the burner. I have also ordered the 20 propane tank attachment which will give me even further flexibility when cooking at home. After using this grill I do not see myself needing to go back to the bulky grills. Even with a family of four there is more than enough room to cook everything at once.

Good grill

Strength
Compact yet big enough for the whole family to grill. Light, even distribution of heat. Cute :)
Weakness
none so far.
Got the grill few weeks ago, and love it. It is small, so it won't burn lots of gas, can be portable ( camping etc ), and easily grills lots of hamburgers, I would say 2-3 big fish steaks, and veggies. Great for a family of 4-5.
