Skip it if you need the digital readout to be trustworthy out of the box — fine for casual cooking if you're willing to verify real temperature yourself with a separate probe.

Pros

  • Budget-friendly for the cooking space offered
  • Flame broiler lever gives a direct-sear option most pellet grills lack
  • 5-year warranty
  • Loads of cooking room — 932 sq in feeds a crowd
  • WiFi/app control — watch the cook from your phone

Watch-outs

  • Temperature calibration is inconsistent unit-to-unit
  • Some owners couldn't fully fix inaccurate readings even after part replacement
  • Requires an independent thermometer to trust actual cooking temp
  • Few obvious weak spots for the money

Known niggles

  • Actual grate temperature reported running well below set point (e.g., set 225°F, reading 180-185°F) even after thermostat replacement on some units
  • Other owners report the opposite — large overshoot, with display at 300°F but independent thermometers reading 240-260°F
  • Some grillers explicitly warn to avoid the 850/1150 models citing more negative reviews than positive
