Used to burn through one of those el cheapo's every other year because, well I was cheap and the Weber Qs were over $200. Hell, I hardly spent that on our full size! End up using a buddies Weber Q after I couldn't keep my el-cheapo lit one weekend and was greatly impressed with how well it worked and amount of food you could fit on it for a compact grill. He of course also had the nice fold up stand and all the accessories/options. It completely sold me and the next Monday morning after returning from the lake, I purchased one for myself. It's been more than a decade, and here I am, still using the same Weber Q! Far and way one of the best purchases I've made. WE litterally use it every single weekend from the middle of may through Oct 1st. I take the pressure washer after it once a year and outside of a little missing paint (was a little aggressive with my pressure washing one time) it still lights, cooks, and works just like it came out of the box. I have yet to find another portable that will hold up like the Weber Q.
I will note that I have a Green Mountain Davey Crocket also which I really like but I can tell you without doubt, the GM will be at the landfill long before the Q and the GM is only 2-years old. The Q is just built that stout and tough.

I would give a shout out to Weber for there large grills also, after buying the Q and using it for 2-years, I bought a full-size Genisis for the deck. Same deal, 8 years in and outside of replacing the iginitor button, it still works great for a propane grill. If your looking for a propane grill, it's hard to beat a Weber.
