Summary: Frigidaire SS Grill FD27LKEC 2007-09-28
Comment: I did aquire one of the last offered Frigidaire FD27LKEC BBQ Grills. I wanted mainly the 304 Stainless Steel construction including the burners. Even the nuts and bolts are non magnetic stainless. We live in Florida a couple miles from the Ocean and have the salt air to contend with. The last cheap brand grill lasted about 3 years before it needed a total rebuild. Most grills that you look at from the major big box sellers sell Stainless Steel grills, but they still rust here in Florida because they are not nonmagnetic 304 Stainless Steel. In a couple of years they look terrible. I am writing this review after nearly 2 years of using this Frigidaire 304 Stainless Grill. It is a heavy well built grill. It cooks very well for a smaller unit and it still looks like NEW with very little maintainance. You get used to the cool spots. The rotisaray works flawlessly with the radiant cook unit. I have not used the side burner yet. This is the best grill value that I have found for a quality unit under $800.

Summary: Great product 2005-05-06
Comment: Trying to purchase a good quality grill over the internet is very difficult with the lack of reviews and inability to physically see the product. With that being said...I did take a chance on this Frigidaire grill and couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend this grill for purchase, both as a stand alone and also a built in, as this 2005 27" can work in both abilities.
The quality seems very good and cosmetically is absoluty beautiful for a grill. For the price this is a can't miss!!!

Summary: My Patio Kitchen 2005-03-26
Comment: I've had this grill for two weeks. I had looked longingly at the expensive Viking, Wolf, and DCS professional-style grills for years. The upper end of the Lowe's grills had the same look, but seemed light on quality. This grill was a viable compromise for me. All-stainless construction, especially of the burners was a big plus, as was the included side burner. Not having a natural gas hose included was a negative, but a minor one. (Ace Hardware part number 4184891 works fine. It's available online for about forty bucks. Remove one brass fitting that comes installed on the regulator before connecting it.)
The grill arrived promptly by freight carrier in the time window that they promised. I elected to just have it dropped off, but I understand they can un-crate it and remove the packaging too. Assembly was straightforward and took about two hours with a toddler "helping." Two strong adults are needed to lift the grill wheels out off the palette base. All aspects of the build quality met or exceeded my expectations. The grills especially are very heavy, closely spaced, carefully made, and fit in their recess with tight tolerances.
The grill lights easily and heats quickly. It is difficult to know if it is lit in sunlight; there doesn't seem to be a good place to view the burners. The temperature gauge should be used as a rough guide only. I incinerated my first pizza on a stone in the grill because I had all the burners on high to reach 450 degrees. For my next pizza I put an oven thermometer inside the grill and found that it reached 450 degrees when the built-in gauge read 275 degrees! The rotisserie burner works well for using the grill as an oven: it acts to balance the heat between the top and bottom parts of the space. Grilling performance is like any other decent grill with enough BTUs. There is minor heat variation between the areas directly above the flame tamers (cool) and the areas above the gaps between the flame tamers (hot) but this can be an advantage if used judiciously. All of these quibbles are likely true of all grills in this price range.
The side burner stays lit in windy conditions, but it doesn't heat well in such conditions because heat is blown away from the pan. It's low setting is well beyond simmer in calm conditions, so if simmering is required either place the pan to the side, or use a cast-iron simmer disk. The flush cover provides extra counter space when the burner is not in use.
Best of all it looks fantastic! The included cover should keep it looking good too. The bonus grill tools are lightweight in a fancy looking case, and they don't include a brush, but hey, they're free.
Update: After a summer of use, I think the heat variation over the cooking surface is more of a problem than I thought it would be. I have to rotate food through the hot spots to get it evenly cooked. Also I would like more control at the lower heat settings. It can get too hot with just the two outer burners on their lowest setting. Despite these quirks I'm satisfied.
