“looks great - does not get hot enough to cook (see the problem)”
Kenmore model #720-0679R 3 burner grill
I have the an issue with the lack of heat being kept inside the cooking compartment. I can't get the grill much above 400F. That is upon start-up and once I start cooking, when you have to open and close the cover to check on what you are cooking you have all you can do to maintain 300F. I had the Sears service man check it out. Conclusion, the hood is a bad design. When we closed of the back side of the hood off the cooking compartment jumped to 600F in less than 5 minutes. The feedback from the manufacturer is that the unit is not designed to go above 400F. That is not good, I can't even get it hot enough to burn off the previous grilling residue.
The salesman was not real enthusiastic about giving me my money back! I purchased the maintenance agreement with the grill, maybe I should call them on a weekly basis to come fix it.
If rating from 1-10, I give this unit a 10 for looks and a 2 for functionallity!
