| 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:
Read AND HEEDED cooking directions. 10 minute grill preheat is a MUST for any cast iron grill...the result is worth every minute of it...especially since u cook with the top down and don't have any flare up concerns. I have had NO problems with burner going out, even in the coastal Maine weather. If u insist on cooking with cover up, which this is not designed for, it probably might happen...although I have had no occasion to even want to do that. Recipe times, with cover on, are spot on! Very satisfied...Cook the way they tell u to and enjoy the results!

Comment:
Yes a deflector shield over the burner would be a great idea - but the burner is easy to remove and clean and does not affect the overall cooking quality. The strength of this grill is that you can get the bang of a large stainless steel gas grill out of a very portable grill. Last year I grilled three 32 oz ribeye steaks at the same time (it was tight) in the back of my pick-up truck while being parked on the side road along the hudson river during the 4th of July fireworks in New York. I had no problems with the grill and the steaks were cooked great.

Comment:
On assembly I was sure I was missing parts, no deflector/searing plate and the holes are on top of the burner. After reading the manual it turns out that I was not missing parts, it was the engineer who designed this grill who was missing brain cells.

A month or less

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Regretting buying the Weber Q220

Strength
It looks nice. The case will likely last a long time.
Weakness
Unreliable to work with a 20 lb tank and extended hose for any extended period of time. Problems with the design of the regulator. This problem is posted all over the Internet as it is a design flaw.
Weber used to make good barbeques, luckily I still have my old reliableWeber from ten years ago. My question to weber is how do you manage to makePoor quality barbeques when your old ones worked so well? Dont buy the Weber Q220.

Fantastic barbeque grill

Strength
Great working grill for a small price
Weakness
I cant think of any weaknesses
I have had this grill for 8 + years. It has never let me down on any item Ive ever cooked on it from hamburgers hotdogs ,steaks pork chops and so on. The best thing I like about the grill is no flare ups,put the meat on the grill close the lid, turn the meat 1 time and its done. The instruction booklet tells you cooking times of all meats and is on the mark. I havent had to replace any parts ,just a great grill._

This is one wimpy Grill!!

Strength
Very small, portable. Good only for hot dogs!! Well built but doesn't work well;
Weakness
Messy, Doesn't get hot. Hard to get the whole burner lit. The side trays are just plastic, break easily and only hold an empty plastic plate. Heavy. Useless for steaks
I have used this grill for a year now. It lights poorly, gets hot really slow and immediately loses all its heat when you open the lid. In colder weather it takes 25 minutes to cook burgers and forget about cooking steaks because it doesn't get hot enough. The Webertrouble shooting tells you - you bought a little grill what do you want? My advice, don't buy this little portable unless you are only warming hot dogs!!!
