It would have made more sense to design this with a cooking area that was half griddle and half grill. Now someone who wants a griddle, yet still needs conventional grill will have to buy both. What a compete lack of innovation and forward thinking. All you would have had to do is design it with a griddle grate and grill grate next to each other. Or...offer the grates as options when purchased. I have a small patio and don't need my grills taking up all my space.

Purchased this and not a huge fan.. first off it’s not flat! Mine all falls to the center bad. The sides get so hot when this unit is on that you can’t sit anything on the sides or it will melt. The cover WILL NOT stay on this unit! Not designed well. Would not recommend this unit to buy. We had a coupons and was able to get it free is why I bought it, otherwise I’d return it!

I purchased this last month and the cover isn't waterproof. The flat top grill is now rusted due to the water coming through the cover. This is completely unacceptable. However, it was a great grill, easy to assemble, but the rusting due to the cover I have to give this a 1 star.

Cover didn’t last in California weather. Wheel barring busted, leaked oil everywhere after two years with normal moving around. Never traveled. Flat top rusted with moist from weather. I’ve tried millions of times to look for a new cover. Nothing fit. Sad. Because I really really enjoyed cooking on this thing.

Very disappointed in the delivery. The box was torn in multiple places. It was left out in my yard very close to the road side. Not on my porch. It's looked as if it was dropped while trying to bring to my door and that was where they left it. After opening, we found several dents. The cover provided with the grill doesn't provide much protection from rain. It left our grill soaked. We will, more than likely, purchase a different cover elsewhere.

Bought this griddle a month back, last one on the floor, should've waited for the next one to come back in stock. The sides of the box looked okay but the frame was bent. The top griddle has a few deep scratch marks as well. This seems like an end of the line griddle or used griddle. The cover is absolute garbage. A small gift of wind bless it right off. I'm in the price of finding an aftermarket cover so I don't have to put the griddle in my shed after each use. Otherwise it cooks well. I'm having a blast cooking a lot of meals with it.

Put it together when we noticed the left side table is missing the plasitic covering in 2 of the right holes that hold the side table to the grill so the screw is real loose and we can't attach it to the table. Very frustrating because we tried replacing the screw with bigger screws with no luck!

Been Using it weekly for a year now, and it's amazing, especially for the price point.

The griddle is awesome! We use it every weekend!

Place a tall catainer under cover to tent it. Will help keep water of it.
