Good Points

Convenience of a gas BBQ. Hood is particularly useful for two tier cooking, smoking, warming and keeping the rain off. Side burner is very useful for frying, boiling, simmering, etc. Work surfaces are OK. Light enough to move single handed, including gas bottle. Reasonable cooking surface.
Burner knobs are ideally placed on the front (dislike knobs on the flat side of other BBQ's on what could otherwise be used as a work surface). Good control of heat, and left/right cooking areas independantly.


Bad Points

BBQ 2 years old and burner has completed rusted through (although covered when not in use). The plastic work surface to right does not withstand any heat, like pans, roasting tins, hot utensils. Tool hooks on edge of work surface could be better designed. Hood paintwork is burning off after two years.
Cool spots in cooking area, but you get to know where they are.


General Comments

Convenient (previously had charcoal BBQ's). But dissappointed in the rusted burner after only two years. If the burner can be replaced, happy to keep it for another two years before BBQ replacement.
Needs regular cleaning under the coals bi-weekly during frequent use. Gas is not the same BBQ taste as coals, but worth the sacrifice for the conveneience.
Overall, pleased with it for two years, but should be made for better longevity.
