Most people need some standards when it comes to a good grill: Four burners, a solid cooking space and reliability. This KitchenAid grill offers all of that and more. Powered by propane, the grill heats up fast and is roomy enough to fit up to 25 burgers at once. That’s plenty of space to allow you to feed an army at your next outdoor gathering.

But you can do so much more than burgers on this machine. A ceramic rotisserie burner allows you to cook chicken like a pro, and you can easily whip up side dishes on the side burner. Prefer to chop veggies and other ingredients outside while you cook? There’s a side prep table to help.

And, because any grill is an investment you’ll want to last, it’s nice to know that this device’s burners are covered under an impressive 10-year warranty.

Pros:

• Plenty of grilling space
• Helpful side burner
• Easy propane tank replacement

• Temperature gauge can fog up in humid conditions
• Cabinet doors are thin
