Mr. L.
Eight years after purchase review.
I purchased this grill in 2015 and am writing this in 2023. There are many outdoor drop-in grills you can choose from. If there is one reason to purchase from Paradise Grills Direct, its so you don't have to have anything built, its already built. After 7 years of owning the grill, enclosure and refrigerator, I will say the only thing I have to replace, honestly, is the grill. The fridge, and the island are all in good condition. As to the grill, I will not be buying a replacement grill from Paradise Grills Direct. Aside from the price being far too high for the value, these grills leave a LOT to be desired. The replacement parts required (grills, briquette holders, etc) are far too expensive to be consumables. To replace just the parts that need to be replaced will cost over $1000. Given that I can't buy replacement parts from anywhere EXCEPT Paradise Grills Direct (the parts are proprietary), the cost is a bit outlandish. Some parts broke within the first year. If I had the opportunity to test other grills, I would not have picked this up, the cold and hot spots on this grill leave a very small area to actually cook without burning, or taking forever to cook. This is not a chefs grill, this is not even an amateurs grill. I am VERY unimpressed with the grill. If you want a decent cabinet section that has cutouts for a good grill, this is not a bad buy. If you want a working kitchen, I would say go elsewhere.
