Uniflame 4-Burner Red Sedona Model# GBC1349WRS Gas Grill Review

The Bottom Line
You'd think that at about $170USD this would be a pretty good grill for the money. You'd be wrong. This grill doesn't cut back in a few areas; it cuts back in all of them. The cooking grates are hardly strong enough to hold up a lot of food. The lightweight burners promise to make the entire grill useless at the first sign of trouble. This simply isn't a grill worth buying, even at this price.
It would have made more sense to take out the side burner in favor of a better burner.

Guide Review - Uniflame 4-Burner Red Sedona Model# GBC1349WRS
This gas grill, made exclusively for Wal-Mart, is just in it to make a fast buck. This flimsy unit can hardly be called a grill. Of course it is also at the bottom of the price range and it's hard to find a grill that costs less. At around $170USD I still can't recommend it though.
This 4-burner gas grill uses lightweight materials. The cooking grate is simply folded sheet metal with a bad porcelain paint job. It's hardly strong enough to hold up a large pile of food. In fact I bent one in the store testing it out. The lid is lightweight aluminum that will not hold heat and is poorly attached to the body. There is also a large amount of plastic used to make this grill.
I know that the temptation to buy this grill will be strong and many people will pick it up as an impulse believing it's a great deal. It isn't. Why spend more than $200 (tax and propane tank required) for a grill you will have trouble getting a year's use out of? Invest a little more or look elsewhere.
