A great portable grill with virtually no flaws.
By Kristy G. on Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2015
A solid Weber product that was purchased as the primary cooking tool for our new RV. Putting the product together is a snap. The shelves are already attached, you pretty much just attach the handle and the thermometer, and stick the grates in the grill. It is a single burner grill that is well placed in the housing to allow for even cooking anywhere on the grates. The electric start is quick and the single heat control knob is accurate and secure. I purchased the adapter hose to be able to use a 20 lb. tank of propane and have a couple of the 1 lb. canisters in the event of an unexpected main-tank shortage. Cooking performance, for such a small grill, is exceptional. Its get up to about 300 degrees very quickly, and takes a bit longer to get up to 500-550. But, a 10-15 preheat period will get you there. I cook Costco chicken breasts for about 15 minutes on high and they come out perfectly juicy with a slight crispiness on the edges, which is how my wife likes them. A word of caution, don't dilly-dally when you are flipping your food, since the housing is aluminum instead of cast iron to save weight, it doesn't retain heat as well as a full-size Weber product - one of the trade-offs for a portable grill and not something you can really ding. Flip it quick and shut the grill. I like diamond-pattern grill marks, so I rotate chicken at about 3 or so minutes and flip at about 7 minutes. Once I have started cooking, the temperature still stays between 400-500 even with multiple lid-ups to flip/rotate. One thing I would have liked to see would be built-in slots to hang grilling tools on the shelves. Speaking of the shelves, they are strong enough to handle any amount of food that you are going to grill. I have read some reviews that state the shelves are wobbly and not strong. Are you grilling bricks or barbells? I have had a big plate of chicken on one shelf and flat of Costco steaks on the other. Nope, you can't stand on the shelves but they perform well for all reasonable people. I am very happy with this product and would recommend it to anyone who needs a portable grill or does not have room on their patio for a full-sized Weber gas grill.

Great design, known problems with components.
By Thomas Sicking on Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2023
The good. Although a little heavy for a portable grill. The design of this Q2200 is well done. One of my favorite features is the shape, not many places for grease and debris to build up. Flame ups are virtually nonexistent. This lets you keep the lid down, which is important on this grill. The burner and grate design heats very evenly, maybe slightly hotter toward the lid hinge. The usable cooking space is excellent due to the heat holding grates. The BAD. 6 mos or so in the little Weber became undependable. It would lose flame-low flame in the middle of a cook. It did not matter if it was hooked to a 1lb, 20lb or 30lb bottle. Eventually it would only produce a 1/8” flame on a warm day. This apparently is a very common problem with these, do a little web searching. I contacted Weber support as this unit “has” a 5 year warranty. After numerous back and forth emails about safety devices, reset procedures etc. Weber basically was blaming me for the grill not functioning. I knew what the problem was, the regulator gave out……they essentially acted like this was not even possible. This is an expensive little grill, apparently with some known issues I.E. the stock regulator. All I wanted was a regulator replacement, not the whole grill. They made things such a d&&m hassle that I gave up and replaced it myself. Plenty of internet videos about this same issue. It fixed it and it worked better than new, I sure as heck did not use their way overpriced part. However, every time I went to use the grill, all I could think of was how Weber treated me and wasted my time. I gave the grill away. I wont ever buy a Weber product again because of how their customer support is.
