great design, small size, unique product!
OK, this grill doesn't get as hot as the much bigger, much more expensive weber-type grills with multiple burners. That said, it still easily gets hot enough to cook a decently thick new york steak in just a few minutes per side. And as far as cooking with the lid off-- what do you expect for a lousy [money amount]!?!

On top of that, it's PERFECT for those with small apartment style balconies. It's economical on gas-- I use it pretty regularly and have yet to go through an entire large tank of propane in over six months of use. It's the perfect size if you're grilling a quick steak or two (or up to 6 or 7 hamburger patties) for one person.

The grill itself has the large gratings that leave pleasant, savory grillmarks on the meat. It's easy to clean, and doesn't cling onto charcoal and carbon like other grills seem to. The lid also has thoughtful little hooks on the inside part of the assembly screws, making it easy to hang the lid on the lip of barbeque itself instead of having to set it down somewhere. The little temperature guage on the front is useful for telling how fast the inside grill temp is heating up (essential for preheating the grill, something you should always do before cooking), although I don't rely on its accuracy in cooking/timing meat.

This is a great grill, a great idea, and great execution at a very attractive price. It's shown that it holds up extremely well after nine months of use, and I'd buy another in a heartbeat.

Those with the space/backyards and multi-family sized barbeque needs should look elsewhere, but just looking at it should tell you that. For the rest of us doing some quick grilling for 1-2 people, this could be the perfect grill.

Great grill with nice features
I bought one of these grills three years ago to replace the standard aging $100 gas grill. It heats up quickly and cooks very nicely. The grill has wide flat porcelein bars instead of the thin chromed wires you would expect at this price. The lid has a thremometer built in, a nice touch. The grill is round, which doesn't leave hot and cold spots like some rectangular grill exhibit. The burner design is very simple, the top of the gas tube opens beneath a round cast heating plate which distributes heat very evenly. After three years, the grill shows no signs of aging.

My ex-wife got the grill, so I just bought another one yesterday. The quality and great features are still there.

Good, but not Great
This is a perfect grill for small groups. I typically only grill for my wife and I so the size is perfect. It wasn't too difficult to assemble and the parts machining is excellent, everything fit together very well. I have only 2 problems with this grill. First, the hangers you attach to the lid to allow you to hang the lid from the side of the grill are quite a pain when placing the lid. Makes it difficult for the lid to fit snugly. Not a problem, I'll just take the hangers off as they don't work that well anyway. Second, I grilled on it 2 days ago, on a fairly calm day weather wise. For some reason the flame kept going out. Took me an hour to grill 4 steaks, should have only taken 20 minutes. Not sure what causes this problem as I haven't ready anyone else experiencing it. It's annoying enough that it keeps the grill from getting 5 stars.

only one problem
we love the size of this grill.it is easy to keep clean.we are looking to buy another one and give our old one to our friends.the problem i found was the front leg rusted and broke away from the frame.

Great for apartment patio
This thing is great. It's not suited for a 20-person cookout but for cooking for 1 or 2 people, or 3 times that many on occassion, it's great. I used full-sized propane tanks and they last over a year with using the grill 3 - 4 times a week for steaks, chicken, or fish. I HIGHLY recommend this product for apartment dwellers who want a gas grill but don't have the space for a full-sized unit. ... Read more

You would be better off with a trash bag
I received this free as part of a promotion; if had cost me anything, I'd be returning it. Even the bag in which the cover is packaged is made of a much heavier gauge plastic.
I suppose it would be an adequate dust cover if you were storing the barbeque in your garage or a shed for the winter. I'll be surprised if it makes until the end of summer in a daily environment of hours of direct sunlight and salt air . I expect I'll be covering my Patio Caddie with a large heavy-duty drawstring trash bag this winter.

One star is better than it deserves....
I had to replace my Gas-Weber Grill (sigh) with a pedestal model because I relocated and have only an itty-bitty porch on which to place a BBQ.. The grill itself ain't a Weber by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm learning how to use it. The cover, by contrast, is a piece of junk. Portland in the winter can become windy, and I've placed the 'feet' of the grill over the cover to hold it down, so that solved any airborne problems with this cheap, flimsy thing. But it's less than a year old and torn in a number of places.. I swear Saran Wrap would be a better substitute if one had the patience to apply it. A rubber-bonded tarp is what I'm looking for now.. I'll tie the darn thing down. At $14, it's still a royal RIP.

grill cover
This is a very poor quailty for a so called cover,very thin when it get's cold it will crack with a little wind. Maybe buy a different type of cover,material wise, or a little thicker gage of plastic.

Patio Caddie Cover
This cover will not last if it's exposed to the elements (sun, rain and wind). This cover only lasted me about one year.

poor quality, tears easily
I have purchased several of these covers in the three years I have owned my grill, because I have lost two to wind and the third was torn up over time. Unfortunately, Char-Broil is the only company that makes this particular shape, so there are no options. The material is extremely flimsy, and it is not long enough to tuck under the bottom of the grill to prevent it from blowing away. Id say, buy a Weber cover that can fit over the Patio Caddie - its probably more durable. ... Read more

Very Good Grill
I live in an apartment, and was forced to buy an electric because no gas or charcoal grills are allowed. I picked this one, and I will say that I am very, very pleased with this grill. You still put charcoal briquets (included) into it, and it cooks VERY well, with no added tastes that you sometimes get from charcoal or gas grills. Top notch product, for a good price!

Great grill alternative...
I have had this grill for about a month now... I did a lot of research since I had to get an electric grill (by to my complex rules). This is a good grill. I cooks like a gas grill except you must keep it covered to cook. The food comes out great, the size is good... I recommend it to anyone with strict complex requirements, I may actually buy one for my father as well.

Poor quality pieces
We live in an apartment building that does not allow charcoal or gas grills, we decided to purchase this one. Many of our neighbors have it and the food always tastes great. We are in the process of putting ours together and I can tell you that the construction of the grill is extremely cheap... The screws that come with the grill to attach the accessories do not fit the brackets. So my husband ended up stripping the screws to fit them in. Overall this grill is very poor quality. I guess the old adage is true - they don't make things like they used to.

Easy to use and maintain
This is the best small grill you can buy. Our priority was a small footprint, and that's what we got. It uses a minimal amount of space and produces the same delicious results as the most expensive large grill. I am a 50 year old woman who is pretty easily frustrated by mechanical devices, but found this easy to build. In fact, I built two of them one summer because my neighbor was so amazed at the quality and ease of use of this grill. The instructions were easy to read and follow. Amazon has an excellent price. I paid more for mine. Buy the plastic cover so you don't have to clean the outside of the grill, too.

Great to use--the devil to put together!
A wonderful product. It arrives unassembled and was a bear to put together--however we are not the handy types. The 800 helpline was soon on speed dial.

Once assembled, the patio caddy is a jewel. Compact, easy to use, easy to clean, almost invisible on our deck. It's even somewhat portable on its little wheeled base. For the money a great investment...just the right size for us and the way we entertain. ... Read more
