| catladyfromnpt's Full Review: Sunbeam Grill Series 550 |
This grill was an anniversary present for my husband and I 8 years ago. In the past 8 years its gotten a lot of use, mostly in the summer when its simply too hot to cook inside and also occasionally in the winter when the craving for a grilled steak hits home.
This grill was purchased at Walmart and was on sale for $119.00, They had several more expensive ones, but this one was reasonably priced and had all the features of the more expensive ones, and it looked just as nice.
The best part was that it came assembled. I had visions of my husband putting it together wrong, going to light it and finding him in the next town. So free assembly came in handy!
The first night we had it, I wanted grilled chicken. Starting the grill is very simple, you simply turn both burners to "ignite", open the cover and push the red button, the grill will light. Then you set it to the temperature you want, by turning the knobs between high and low. I usually cook at high, since I tend to like my food well done.
While I'm not sure of the measurements of this grill, you can cook 8-10 hamburgers or pieces of chicken at a time. There is also a smaller rack which is where you can keep rolls warm, or keep food that you've already cooked warm.
This grill cooks fairly fast, and one tank of gas lasts an entire summer and I grill at least 4 times a week. The grill is very easy to clean as well.
I would recommend this grill to anyone who wanted a grill, but didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on something thats going to sit outside. I would recommend getting a grill cover for it, to prevent rusting. I've had this grill for 8 years now and I haven't had to do anything aside from the occasional cleaning.
