After doing a fair amount of research online, I decided to take a chance on this unfamiliar manufacturer's little grill. Compared to the others, everything appeared similar except price--this thing goes for much, much less than the competitors. Having owned it for a while now, here's what I've found: 1) the build quality is excellent, very sturdy with nice fit and finish; 2) the burner is HOT, even on low . . . but; 3) the burner is on the small side, so you've got some grilltop area available for both direct and indirect heat; 4) I've had some difficulties keeping the thing lit in breezy conditions--its vent design is perhaps a little too effective. I just angle it away from the wind or shield it with a cooler; 5) the screw-in regulator seems a bit chintzy. Mine has frozen up, as the manual says it might with a new gas cylinder. But mine did it a couple times with previously-used cylinders.
A caveat: infrared isn't for everyone or for every application. There's a definite hot spot, and on a portable grill, that spot is not particularly large (think "small grill, small food.") For the burgers, filets, and dogs I typically do, it works great. I've done a pork loin with great results and found that there's plenty of heat to saute onions in a heavy pan. I've not tried steaks or fish.
Overall, a couple niggling issues, but in the end I really like this grill. The build quality is impressive, the infrared burner is both hot and self-cleaning, and it comes with a very cool carry bag. Definitely recommended.
