Full Review – Cuisinart Two Burner Gas Grill
Walmart survives by selling products that look better than they are. Their grills tend to be shiny and full of features. The Cuisinart Two Burner Gas Grill currently sitting on their showroom floors is a small, simple gas grill. It has two main burners and little else related to grilling. However, it has some low-grade stainless steel body parts and a big window in the lid. You can watch your grill cook without getting up from your chair. Of course, this isn’t much of a feature. Glass in grills gets coated in grease and smoke and soon becomes opaque without constant cleaning. It looks good in the store, not so much once it has been used a few times.
Cuisinart has a full line of outdoor cooking products these days. Don’t be fooled though. The company known for its kitchen appliances is now a massive brand that will put its name on virtually anything. This gas grill is made in China under contract. Cuisinart has little to do with the construction other than specifying the look and features. Ultimately, the problem with this grill is that it looks impressive, yet it lacks weight and quality construction. The glass in the lid weighs more than the burners. Ask yourself which is more important and then think about whether or not you really want to own a grill like this.

One response to “Cuisinart Two Burner Gas Grill Review”
Bought the cuisinart 2 burner grill in June. Only used a hand full of times and not very happy with it. For starters the left side wouldn’t turn on within the first 3 try’s. It took 4/5 times, now, not at all! The metal piece that attaches the gas line to the grill has already started corroding. I’ve kept the cover on it to protect from the weather. Also the outside trim on the knobs are chipping. That started within the first couple months. The grates move easily from front to back- just not happy with this purchase at all!! Wish it was more durable- looks nice but very dissatisfied with it
