Comment:
I needed a good stainless steel grill & didn't want to pay through the nose for it. Although it's not the highest grade of SS it is a thick sturdy guage. I keep it outside w/ cover on the Texas Gulf Coast. Only minor rust on some non-SS parts after almost 2 years. The table is great but could be a little easier to open & close. The SS grates clean up well w/ steel grill brush. Love the searing burner. Best value in SS grills.
