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:

More than six months

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

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.
