Good points

Good Points

  • Very good open access to food when food warmer is removed.
  • Collapsible side tables with hooks to hang utensils.
  • Labelling is large and graded, with obvious off setting.
  • Separate ignition for each burner.
  • Small removable drip container with handle is positioned at the front left of BBQ. Easy to access and easy to clean.
  • The hotplate covers the burners and the fat is diverted to the drip container, therefore it is less likely to have fat dripping under and on the burners.
  • Comprehensive instructions.
  • Gas bottle hooks onto the side of the trolley.
  • Small side panels and full coverage of hotplate protects burners from drafts.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Hood is heavy. Strength required when opening and closing.
  • Hood and handle can become dangerously hot.
  • Low BBQ height may be awkward for some taller people.
  • Hotplate only.
  • Only OK access to controls, need to bend down to ignite and view.
  • Control dials obstruct the grading and there is no labelling for high and low.
  • No positive positioning on high.
  • Large heavy hotplate is difficult to remove, may need two people to lift.
  • Stainless steel control panel can be difficult to clean, fat can splash onto controls.
