The Q1200 heats up fast and cooks burgers and chicken evenly. It is small enough to store easily but still feels sturdy and premium.
I take this grill to tailgates and camping trips. It is simple to use and gives great grill marks, though the cooking surface is not huge.
Assembly was straightforward and the ignition works well. It is ideal for quick weeknight grilling, but bigger family cookouts need a larger grill.
