Regal S 490 Pro Infrared

A four-burner Regal Pro cart grill with a 10,000 BTU infrared side burner and 9mm solid stainless steel cooking grids.

$1,699Approx. MSRP

A good middle-ground for someone who wants Pro-line build quality and a serious sear burner without the largest 690's footprint or price.

Pros

  • 4-burner size is more manageable than the 590/690 while keeping the infrared side burner
  • Fast preheat and strong searing performance
  • Good even-heat cooking reported across most of the grate
  • Loads of cooking room — 815 sq in feeds a crowd
  • Serious heat (50,000 BTU) — sears fast

Watch-outs

  • Infrared side burner is a niche feature most beginners won't use often
  • Reports of internal rust starting within a few years in humid climates
  • Premium price for a 4-burner grill compared to non-Pro Regal models
  • Heavy (189 lb) — pick its spot and leave it

Known niggles

  • Same infrared line issues: occasional rust on burners and housing over a few years
  • Burner popping and uneven flame reported by some owners around the 2-year mark
  • Paint peeling on lid/housing reported by a minority of owners
