Most Helpful Favorable Review

Everything about the grill is pretty good. Lots of room, nice fridge, etc., but there are some small issues and then there is a major issue.

Major issue: The two electric cords that power the fridge and the lights are seperate and are 6 inches (if not less) long. They are roughly 1 foot apart from one...

Kenmore Elite 4 Burner Gas Grill with Refrigerator Reviews

Displaying all 8 reviews

The one major flaw to this grill is the refrigerator door handle. This piece is far to weak and poorly constructed to handle the torque of LIGHT use, never mind actually opening with actual force. I give the handle 4-5 normal pulls before it breaks. I read the ratings before buying, and used EXTREME caution while operation the first day. It still broke, which is upsetting because the refrigerator was a real selling point to this grill-how did the designers miss it??. Other than that, I love this grill. Lots of room, with tons of grilling options. It does not come with the actual rotissary motor...

This is a good grill for the money. Good features are the halogen lights under the top, the fridge, the infared side burner

The handles are a problem that they should correct. We haven't broken them yet, but it will probably happen soon.

They should have put a drawer on the left side. We also assumed that the rotisserie would be included.

Handle issues

We just recently purchased this grill and are also having issues with the fridge door handle. We love the grill, and are hoping to have the door handle situation resolved without a hitch. It's almost as if the suction to keep the door closed hinders the handle's ability to stay in tact. We love having the fridge, it's pretty roomy to fit the burgers, dogs, mustard, ketchup, mayo and a few beverages. And the side door has great extra storage for oven mitts, bbq utensils, etc. Plus the grill cooks great, a fantastic amount of grilling surface, and this grill heats up quick, so the temp gauge is a... read full review »

I love this grill. I had my in-laws in from out of town last week. I grilled rib eye steaks. I was able to cook 16 or 17 12 -16 ounce steaks at one time. The built in lights came in handy. Had a bit of difficult time lighting the grill for the first time, However once I got the flames started everything was ok. The handles are a little weak. They are cute but not sturdy. I think they should have been designed as one metel piece. I will look into ordering a better handle. Otherwise the grill is wonderful!

Broken within 2 weeks

My husband and I bought this grill to replace our 5 year old $100 Home Depot special... who-da-thunk that the $100 no-name grill would outlast a Kenmore $1200 grill?!! Delivered to us 5/27, and this past weekend (6/13) the refrigerator door handle sheared off and the middle burner will no longer ignite. Have emails in to Sears for a repairman to come out and fix it..I'm just a little leary about what's gonna happen next and how soon it'll happen.. I LOVE THIS GRILL, it's easy for me to use, the heat gauge on the lid of the grill let's me know when I should put food on..I'm just so disappointed... read full review »

Elite Grill

Bought this grill because all others seems overpriced. A very attractive grill, as grills go. Cooks great. My only problem with the unit is that the gas hook-up hose is to short. As a result, it will not accomodate my gas gauge. I wish the hose were a couple of inches longer. Other than that, a great grill for the price.

This is a good grill for the money (but not perfect). Have been using it for over 6 months now almost every weekend. Everything has come out great....rib eye steaks are the best....sear each side for 2 min on the side burner and then grill for 10 min each side...comes out perfect every time. Have grilled chicken, ribs, bacon wrapped filets and everything I must say comes out great. Would recommend getting a grill basket for veggies. The refrigerator comes in handy but the power cord is on the opposite side of the cord for the grill lights so you need an extra extension cord...strange. Now...
