Traeger GrillsReviews of traegergrills.com

I have contacted the technical support team four times and I have replaced parts on my smoker that I’ve had for 11 years which I’ve had no problems with for 11 years till now and on the fourth time the idiot on the phone told me that there is nothing wrong with my smoker which I know my smoker very well….they have 2 videos of the problem and they knew it’s not right till the last one doesn’t know what he’s talking about….this makes me not want another one and tell other people about my experience…he should be ashamed as a technical expert…now I have to throw it away after 11 years

True rating should be -1 to -2 stars. Worst customer service experience ever. They sold me a defective grill that had problems from day 1. Rather than own up to the problem, they kept telling me to watch videos and read instructions. Then I was told they didnt have a service rep in my area. Not sure whether customer service is instructed to lie or they are completely incompetent. When I found a service tech, they informed me I would have to pay for it because the service tech was not an "authorized" service tech. In sum, Traeger sold me an utter piece of crap for over $1000 and made it entirely my problem when the grill did not work.

I’ve had this grill for eight years. There’s a reason why warranties are short and commit to binding arbitration. It worked ok for the first few years. Since then I’ve replaced the hot rod and temperature sensor. It won’t reliably maintain any temperature below 300 degrees which makes smoking any length of time impossible. It’s out of production so I doubt a replacement controller is even available, but I refuse to pay the hundreds it would cost. It’s ELECTRONIC! Why would it fail?

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!! The grill won’t heat up and when I called customer service Omar hung up on me, because apparently you have to connect your grill to WiFi for it to work!! I was having issues understanding how to connect and I guess he got frustrated! I am beyond frustrated, after paying all this money I had to put my ribs in the damn oven!!!!!

I was told the warranty covers even personal damage, yet it rusted within 2 years even though I bought the cover and kept it covered, they did not stand by the warranty, better off buying an off brand from Home Depot for less than half the price

Like many people who left reviews here I could not get my traeger grill to maintain a constant temperature. The last time I used it, I set the temperature at 225 and 20 minutes later the temperature was 375. The customer service guy was helpful but his solution was going to be him sending me parts to fix it myself and not to have it out in the sun. This grill is ONE MONTH OLD. It's being returned.

I wish I read the reviews before I bought the grill the worst customer service that I ever dealt i mean for real it can't get any worse if I could I wouldn't give it any stars. I wonder what's up with whoever is running this company is he/she/them are even looking at the customers feedback and try and change something because this is a big let down.

Honestly, the grill I got, a Woodbridge Pro works great, except for their wireless meat probe, which sucked. But the reason for such a low rating is their customer service… more accurately their customer service system. I ordered the grill directly from Traeger.com, and it showed up 3 weeks late… 2 weeks after they told me it was with fedex for delivery the next day… well after many calls to Traeger, it finally came nearly a month after I ordered it. After my first wireless meat probe that came with the grill failed (after 2 uses), I ordered a new one directly from their website through my Traeger online account (figuring it wasn’t worth the hassle utilizing their warranty due to my prior difficult experiences with their customer service). It never arrived. Even though it still showed up as “processing“ on my traeger online order history, customer service couldn’t find my order number. I had to email them screen shots of the order from my online account with Traeger, and they still couldn’t find it. After more than an hour with the customer service agent that was trying to do their best, they promised me that their supervisors found my order and were expediting it. after another month passed (2 months from when I made the order on 5/31) it had still not arrived. I spent another nearly hour with their customer service on the phone, and they again couldn’t find the order. I asked if I could again email screen shots of my order from their website, and was told there was no way to send him an email (even though I did just that a month prior) and instead he would text me a screen sharing link. The text never came. After a few mins he sent it again, and it still didn’t come. At this point I was livid, explained to the customer service rep “Adrian” that his company’s IT customer service system sucks, and he claimed that is must be my phone because it works with all his other customers. I was livid and demanded to speak with a supervisor. The supervisor “Maryanne (SP)“ said she had no problem finding my order on their “different system” and that because the order was never shipped, they never charged me. I explained that I was charged more than 2 months prior, and that I had already paid my Visa CC for it. She argued with me that they only placed a hold and because it was never delivered, I never actually was charged, wich was not true. I finally gave up, got her name, promised to dispute their charge with Visa and would not only never order anything from Traeger online again, I would write this review everywhere I could find. SO I highly recommend that you never order anything from Traeger direct… if you want a Traeger smoker, but it directly from a store.
