Now I do not personally have this but my friend did at a party recently ! She brought it in her trunk! It was awesome! It made burgers and hotdogs perfectly! I couldn’t find a picture from that day but I would love to get one of these grills myself! Perfect for tailgating, bbq, park, really anywhere !
Customer review from influenster.com
The grill is perfect grilling! easy to assemble, starting up. Has different griddles. I have mine going on 5 years and works perfect. My only thing is that the knob cracked and broke off and they dont have replacements. They dont make it for this model. Looking everyone online and nothing and coleman couldnt help me either.

Disappointed
Very disappointed with this grill. From the get go it was impossible to keep shut and we lost a ton of heat this way. The water tray system was a bit of a pain. If you moved it ever so slightly during cooking, oily water everywhere. The starter went pretty quickly and we were using a BBQ lighter by the second summer of using it. Now, our regulator has gone and they DO NOT sell the proper shaped replacement to fix it. I am so disappointed with this grill and we are huge fans of Coleman products in general. There are better models for this price point.

Great until it stopped working
This was a great grill until it stopped working. The flame is now very low which means bad regulator. Easy fix? Not a chance. Coleman does not sell replacement regulators for this grill. When searching for one it pulls up a regulator that screws on to the grill. This is not the way the regulator is attached to this grill. The regulator is under the control knob panel and I can’t find one that mounts that way. I’ve had this grill for slightly over 4 years and it has been used very lightly. It has always been kept in my trailer or garage, never left outside. I also purchased a cover for the entire grill. I would really like to be able to get a new regulator so I can use this grill again.

HORRIBLE assembly instructions
Just purchased this for my patio and was looking forward to using it. I've started and stopped assembling 3 times already in the last 2 days. Could you possibly make the instructions any worse? Diagrams are extremely unclear and small. I'm about to toss it out to the recycling bin and get something else.

Stopped working after third use
Purchased this for a mobile grill for rv’ing. Tried dealing with warranty but no luck contacting Coleman so far.

Not ready for prime time
I had really high hopes for this grill having used Coleman products for many past years. These road trip portables look great but totally UNDRRperform. The marketing is superb and the fold-away engineering is a nice touch. But this grill won't even boil water after sitting a stainless percolator on top (using a separately purchased grate) after sitting there 12-15 minutes. I've tried the 1 pound mgas bottles, the 20 pound grill tanks, and my home LP gas port, all with the same poor heating results. I'll end up keeping it instead of returning mainly because the box is long gone, and because I suppose it full fry bacon on the (separately purchased) griddle insert All in all, if I had it to do over again, I'd not buy this grill. Sorry Coleman, but y'all really don't know your market, or at least this niche are.

Money wasted on what used to be a quality company
The grill worked great for the first 2 uses, then it won't heat up. Flames burn blue just very low. I expected better from Coleman. Very poor quality. I cannot recommend this product, especially for the price. I have had cheap Char-Broil grills that were better than this one.
