It was easy to assemble. You have to be careful of where the burners are located. Great value

Excellent value. Name brand is not materially better and almost twice the price.

Works super well very happy with

I have owned a 36" Blackstone at my other home for over four years, and have never had an issue. I have been looking at the Member mark pro 5 burner for my new home based on the positive reviews and the features that I liked about it. A few weeks ago it was on sale so I decided to go for it and I purchased. So many pro's with this unit: -Packaging, Build quality, and instructions: Packaged perfectly, no damage / dents / scratches to any of the parts. Build quality was very good, stainless steel screws with large philips heads (no stripping), feels solid when done. The instructions are very easy to read, step by step, heavy paper (not a flimsy pamphlet that flies away while your trying to work), and MOST IMPORTANT the instructions are updated from the factory! They put stickers IN THE INSTRUCTIONS BOOK over-top of old instructions that are out dated. So the instructions are totally up-to-date! Some reviewers warn of using the Built app because it isn't always current. I agree, use the included instructions; not the app. -Features ,etc: I really like 5 burners over my Blackstone's 4 burners, I like being able to really "tune" my cooking surface with different heat zones for different foods all at the same time, and yes you can do this with 4 burners; but the 5 just adds more adjustability and I like that. The control knobs have a good "feel" to them, high quality, smooth turning. Solid caster wheels that roll well and seem very durable, the front 2 are locking which is perfect for keeping in place. The cabinet doors are rather thin and lightweight, but they ARE NOT flimsy. Nice large door handles that are very solid and the magnetics do a great job at keeping them closed. Oh, and the doors line-up to each other perfectly! No junky doors that require forceful operation to close or pop-open when rolling the griddle around on the patio even over paver stones with joints. The side tables are very strong with well made, thick, stainless steel brackets with good size SS screws securing everything. -Cleaning drain location: OK this is a matter of personal preference, but I ended really liking the location offset near the front! Being a Blackstone user I thought I would struggle with it, but actually no, not at all. The thing I like the most is that I no longer have to go behind my griddle to get to the drippings tray, on the Member's Mark it's conveniently located in the front, simply slide it out, it's a lot easier and cleaner too. The included griddle cover is good, not great, but it does the job. It does have thick, sturdy velcro straps on both side to help keep it tightly on. It also has hand straps to help with removal. It should last a few years, I prefer heavier, thicker materials for my grille covers as I find the cold winter temps, ice and snow destroy thin covers rather quickly. Also, the griddle side tables MUST be lowered in order to use the cover, it will not fit with the side tables up. In closing, I have no cons; only pros! Love it!

Easy Assembly - GREAT Tasting Food! I had the older model of the Members Mark Griddle. It was ok this is better quality. The griddle is stiffer and has greater support with welded channels on the underside. This helps with heat distribution. The five burners have greater heat control as HOT is really HOT and low is just enough to brown toast without burning. The griddle surface is smoother, and I like the fact the design allows me to fold up the sides to help conserve space on the patio. Of course I love the cover that folds up and helps protect from the elements.

Don't buy. First grill drawer brackets had to be replaced because they were bent. The very first time it was used caught fire in cabinet with the gas tank. My husbands hand were burned while trying to shut off gas before it could possibly blow up. 3 phone calls later they are going to refund my money which is the least they could do considering the circumstances and our tank is also completely ruined. And until talking with the last person did anyone seemed ever remotely concerned or even ask how bad the burns were

Firebox came with a faulty piece on the side (the right collapsible tray). Called to get a replacement. It's on back order. Now I'm worried about the quality for the rest of the griddle.

Awesome

I bought the stainless version of this, last spring. It does the job, and was relatively easy to assemble, i only needed help lifting the cast iron griddle. It doesnt heat very evenly, and is tricky to keep it seasoned, due to the uneven heating... but with a little elbow grease, its doable. The cover seems like it wouldnt last long out in the elements, mine is on a covered porch so its done fine over the midwest winter. *BIGGEST COMPLAINT* is i cannot find any accessories to fit this, no silicone covers or drip tray liners fit appropriately, nor can i find a sturdy cover to fit properly. I wish Menbers Mark made an accessory line for the outdoor appliances they sell!! Otherwise i love it :)

i love the grill, however my new grill was missing the grease drawer and the 3 disposable grease pans. i had to buy the disposable pans. i called customer service for the last 3 months, and am being told the drawer is on back order, however they keep selling the units. i assume without the part?
