Wonderful infrared grill. I used this grill at a friend's about a month ago and I plan to purchase it when it goes on sale over Thanksgiving. It cooked the food very evenly and it was great to see the nice sear marks both on our steaks and chicken. I was also amazed on how easy it was to clean. Not sure about some of the other reviews stating difficulty, I assume they didn't read the manual that came with it. All they had to do when done grilling was turn it to high for 10-15 minutes. We then went back out, let the grates cool a little then shake the ash off. It was wonderful. No brushes needed to get into the crevises or anything. Amazing grill, can't wait to get it.
