Customer reviews for THOR Kitchen 3-Piece Black Outdoor Kitchen Suite w/ Cover forOverall, a good setup
We purchased this outdoor kitchen setup right after it was first listed, despite there being almost no information or reviews available. It checked all the boxes for what we wanted, so we decided to take a chance on it. Overall, this is a great-looking, well-packaged outdoor kitchen at a solid price—but it comes with some tradeoffs, especially in grill performance and features. The delivery and packaging were excellent. Everything arrived well-protected, and the drivers even wheeled the units into my backyard, which was appreciated. One box oddly had no bottom and was rolled in on its wheels, which caught me off guard, but nothing was damaged. Installation itself was straightforward, but the instructions were a weak point. They felt poorly translated from another language, which didn’t inspire a lot of confidence during setup. Fortunately, the assembly was simple enough to figure out without relying too heavily on them. Once everything was put together, the unit looks fantastic. It feels solid overall, and I didn’t notice any obvious defects or build issues. The refrigerator works well, the side burner puts out strong heat, and while I haven’t used the griddle yet, everything so far seems functional. We used the main grill for the first time last night, and this is where expectations should be managed. After running all four burners on high for 15–20 minutes (propane, mild evening), the temperature held just under 525°F. That’s not bad, and it may be normal for this type of grill, but I was hoping for something closer to 600°F. If you’re looking for high-heat searing performance, this may fall a bit short. The lighting is excellent—very bright inside the grill, and the blue LED knob lights look great at night. However, requiring two separate 120V outlets is a major design miss—especially when one is just for the lights. That should have been consolidated into a single power source or designed more efficiently. The grill itself is fairly basic. You don’t get a rotisserie or a sear burner, both of which are available on other THOR models. The grates are thick and solid, which is a plus, but the grill body walls are relatively thin, so don’t expect much insulation or heat retention. Pros Clean, modern look Excellent packaging and easy setup Bright, effective lighting Functional layout with fridge and side burner Good value for the price Cons Max temp lower than expected (~525°F) No sear burner or rotisserie Thin grill walls (limited heat retention) Requires two separate power outlets Poorly written instructions If you’re looking for a high-end, feature-packed grill with top-tier heat performance, this isn’t it. But if you want a sharp-looking, functional outdoor kitchen with a solid mix of features for the price, it delivers. At the end of the day, you’re paying for a clean, complete setup—not premium grill performance—and as long as you go in with that expectation, it’s a purchase you’ll likely be happy with.
Well Built Quality Unit, Very Pleased!
I have had the 3pc Thor kitchen a few weeks now and I must say I am Pleased with it. Assembly was easy, it is well constructed and it has most everything I needed as well. I've used it a few times with the only real issue being, it is slightly under powered and appears to have a max temp of about 560 to 590 degrees. Not a deal breaker to most, but something to keep in mind. It is shipped with each unit assembled, in three large well packed boxes, on 2 pallets. It just needs to be put together. Packaging was great, shipping was hassle free and assembly was easy. I would be giving it 5 stars if it had a little more power and a rotisserie. The larger 4 pc kitchen has both of those but I could not make it fit.
