I do know individuals who use this as their primary home grill who have seldom had an issue.

With attachements you can do pancakes on side & burgers on the other simultaneously. Or you can boil water on side & grill on the other... it is versatile.

I've owned this grill for  years now. I preheat & cook with the TOP DOWN on a regular basis. We are speaking about 20+ hours so far of TOP DOWN cooking & nothing has ever melted/burnt. I use it camping sometimes cooking for 20+ people. How someone could be complaining about not being able to cook with the top down is unusual, & I must say that I am tending to agree with another commenter that it might be a malicious comment trying to discredit this grill. Oy... the world they live in.

I do know individuals who use this as their primary home grill who have seldom had an issue. As for flaws, I guess the only flaw is that it is kind of a pain to neat up after grilling, as you can soak the grill-plate attachments, but you must neat all the inside surfaces by hand. Not fun, but a small cost to pay for the conveinence this grill offers.

My view? Worth every minute of neat up to have a grill like this that I"m able to make use of 100% of the grill surface. Definite there's some "hot spots" & "cool spots" as with any grill, & you need to learn where they are how to cook with it. That lesson is learned after the first time you use it!

Overall this grill does an excellent job, & if/when I kill it, I will be looking for another like it.

They also made positive both side shelves were pulled out. Of coursework any grease catcher will catch fire in the event you are not on the ball to empty it.

They have preheated with the lid closed, cooked items with the lid closed, but people must make use of common sense & not grill on high & close the lid. They also made positive both side shelves were pulled out. Of coursework any grease catcher will catch fire in the event you are not on the ball to empty it. They have experienced no other issues aside from the inside bottom rusting through... lined with foil they can still use it safely. One time has to wonder if the negative reviews are from coleman competetors. Buy it you won't be dissappointed. Im ordering another for hubby for Christmas

I am blown away at a number of the other reviews dissing this grill. They have owned this model for over three yrs & have never been happier with a grill, they tailgate, camp & use this as our primary home grill. My only complaint is that after three yrs the inside bottom rusted through eventhough its stored under cover in the winter months.
