The only real drawback you may have with this grill is that it tends to run really hot on high and the middle is hotter than the sides are.
Little heavier than other models
High heat setting needs to be watched.
Small grease pan
While the Cuisinart CGG-7400 appears to be a mostly durable grill, there are a few exposed components that will rust without proper attention.
