Perhaps I just got lucky because I purchased my Charmglow grill over 5 years ago and I've had no problems whatsoever. I grill all 12 months of the year (yes, even when it's snowing out) in a screened-in porch. I try to keep the grill covered when I'm not using it, and I clean it top to bottom fairly regularly (at least once per year). I've not replaced a single part on my grill and it works as good as the day I got it. Not sure why others have has so many problems.
I have no complaints about the usefulness of the grill, it works well. The problem with the stainless grills is that the drip pan and other critical items are made of cheap pressed steel which RUSTS away to nothing in quick order.
I bought this grill because it was highly recommended by CR, I wish CR would do some sort of corrosion test, so those of us in the REAL WORLD won't have the unpleasant surprise of having the bottom literally fall out of our appliances.
Next time, I will look closely at ALL the components of any grill, any cheap stamped steel and iffy hardware and I'll pass, no matter what CR says.
My Home Depot grill uses natural gas and that part I enjoy. As to the quality of the grill, that is another story. Yes it gets hot, (I do like the rotisserie burner) but the quality of the parts in the hot section is VERY POOR! Made in China, quality is NOT important! I would not buy another Charmglow!
