Heats up quick, easy to clean. Still looks brand new after almost 4 years. I really like that the propane tank is on the side. At the time, it may have been the only grill like that. We also have the added iGrill app, but rarely use it. I assume by now there are many 3rd party devices that may or may not be better. Also, I think they had that exact same model at Costco earlier this summer if you have a membership. Might be worth looking there to see what they have, probably discounted somewhat knowing Costco.
