| About This Brand |
|---|
This brand, known for its durability and dependability, went through an entire line and design change in 2007. Weber is known for its quality products in the midpriced to high-priced categories, and grills that feature coated cast-iron and stainless-steel-rod cooking grates and long-warranty stainless-steel burners. (The company offers a natural-gas version for most of its grills.) Weber recently introduced an infrared-searing station on some of its grills, updated its Q line of portable grills, and added colors to its entire lineup. Weber grills are available at many retailers nationwide. Grills range in price from $130 to $3,000. Note that Weber acquired Ducane about four years ago. |

Comment:
I have owned my Q220 for two years and have used it year round. I have gone through 6 regulators, all replaced under warranty. The unit refuses to go below 375 on cool/cold days and 400 during the summer. Weber admitted it was designed for cooking burgers and hotdogs, nothing requiring good heat regulation. We camp 8 months of the year and have been disappointed. You can spend less to get a comparable grill that takes up less space.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
I own the 220 for direct heat grilling (3 yrs) and a Webber Kettle and Bullet for slow, indirect heat, barbecuing. Portability is the best thing about the Q's as well as their use as everyday grilling devices for simple tasks (ex., burgers, steaks, sausage, etc.). As reviewers of the 200 state, you must clean the burner holes with a small nail or needle periodically to try and maintain flame around the entire burner. Unlike traditional Weber gas grills, the Q does not have Flavorizer bars to cover the burners. If you do not need portability, spend a few extra hundred dollars and move up to a Spirit model. It will save you the burner headache. Other than this issue, if you keep the burner holes unplugged, it can work well especially in the non-winter months.
How long have you owned it:

Q220

Strength
Small, efficient and worth every penny. We have now cooked everything from tri tip roast to grilled pizza without any trouble at all. No issues of having to get used to the grill. It works great!
Weakness
None that I can think of.
Love this product, were in credibly happy with the service from our seller. The item was bought on a Wednesday and arrived the following Tuesday. Quickest shipping I have ever gotten and all we asked for was the basic ground free shipping that was offered. Would definitely order from seller again.

Portable Q220 566001 Grill (Liquid Propane, 280 sq. in., 12,000 BTU).
07/04/2006
Strength
can be used as a full sized bbq with a full sized tanks or small & portable enough to take on a small trip. It also has a stand you can purchase. it grills awsome steaks & hamburgers with even cooking.
Weakness
when using the portable tanks you can only use the smaller one.
This bbq has taken the place of my home bbq because of the easy clean up & how great it cooks food & its surface area size is large enough to cook 6 steaks at one time. this grill is even better than the older propane weber bbq's.
