I purchased the SLG2006C grill in 2006. The grill looks great at first. All the bells and whistles that a griller would want. However, the proof becomes clear two years later when the internal parts fall apart. Specifically, the stainless steel burners rust, crack and become useless. The heat plates also rust and fall apart. Although the burners have a ten year warranty, the heat plates are not. Working with Customer Service is extremely painful and time consumming. You must have the original sales receipt to receive replacement burners free of charge. The other replacment parts are very expensive. It takes weeks to obtain replacement parts. In addition, it is difficult to replace the burners because the screws holding them in place are rusted tight. It's a joke to realize that the key internal parts of this grill fail within two years. What a rip off. To make matters worse, the stainless steel used must be cheap because it looks stained, not stainless!! Warning - - DO NOT BUY !!!

Go figure I had the same problem. All of my burners rusted out and just fell out creating one big flame pit. If I wanted that I would have invested in a fire pit instead of this cheap made grill!!!!

I have the same grill that was purchased in 2006 as well as a Father's Day gift. All the but two burners are rusted out. It now appears the gas regulator is dead. Pefect flame? I say Perfect Dud! Don't buy this brand ever. I now need a new grill after only three grilling seasons. I also grill all the time.

I bought the same grill in 2006. A great grill for 2 years, although the finish on side of the cover started bubbling after 1 year. This year all the burners are rusting out. I doubt it will make it through the rest of the season. Perfect Flame will not honor the warranty. This is Chinese junk. Do not buy.

I have the same grill, I like the way it grills but the non-stainless parts that hold the doors rusted thru and the handles have all peeled.
