Negative Points
- There have been a few complaints about the durability of the product. There have been instances where customers have complained about the product falling down and the users ending up with broken parts.
- Another big drawback is that this product has a grill plate which cannot be removed unlike some of its predecessors. Not being able to remove the plates could be a disadvantage because some areas are difficult to clean and dirt and grime tend to accumulate in such places
- The sloping dome cover can be a setback because it just hangs off the plate. There should be a provision to handle the lid when food is being checked and turned over. It would be an additional help if this product had a small vent hole on its cover.
- The product requires assembly and has got mixed reviews on the quality of materials used in the product and instruction manual which is not up to the mark. Assembling of the product may take longer than usual. The drawbacks are few and negligible if you weigh the odds against wonderful experiences that this electric outdoor grill has to offer you.
