Pros: More than enough cooking space on racks. Fairly easy to clean. Sturdy, great quality!
Cons: Ignition switch will be the first part to eventually go.

| AnnieSlif's Full Review: Sunbeam Grill Series 350 |
During hot weather, I plan all meals (or as many as humanly possible) by what can be cooked on our Sunbeam Series 350 Grill. And living in Southern California, this grill gets a great deal of use throughout most of the year!!
The Sunbeam Series 350 Grill has two inner racks which are a very good size. There is ample room for chicken, steaks, hot dogs or hamburgers for just the family or for a large gathering. The upper rack is ideal for buns, veggies or meat you want to keep warm.
The side burner we have on ours seems to work well. To be honest, we haven't used it that much. One purpose/benefit of a grill is to have as few things to wash as possible. We do lots of corn right on the racks or veggies wrapped in foil. The few times we have used the side burner, it has been with good results. There is no difference between the Sunbeam side burner and using a burner on a regular stove.
The ignition and burners have lasted for quite a while now. We are on our fourth year using this grill (using the grill excessively). Just very recently, the ignition is starting to go somewhat kerfluey. Replacement parts are found virtually anywhere -- burners, racks, ignition switches... Easy to find and replace. My husband will just turn on the gas and drop in a match. I am waiting for that to demonstrate itself as an incredibly bad idea. Please, just go and get a new switch!!
The side and front shelves are nice - strong and stable. The wood is good quality and has withstood a fair amount of use and abuse. Simply pull up until they latch. To put them down, pull outward and release. They can hold an impressive amount of weight.
Cleaning is easy. Replace the lava rocks as needed. Buy a good quality grill brush and use it before and after each use. When the window gets ugly, you can either use the grill brush or I have heard several people using an oven cleaner on it. Just be absolutely certain to clean the residue off completely!
The gas valves have been working great. Easy to turn off and on with no leaks. Gas canisters and how much gas you go through depends on how often you cook and how you use the gas, of course.
The Sunbeam Series 350 Grill has two sturdy wheels on one side, so you simple lift up and roll the grill where you need it. It did require assembly, which just needed basic tools. Instructions were clear and easy to follow and didn't take very long at all for my husband.
When this grill eventually cooks it's last meal for us, we are definitely going to replace it with another Sunbeam grill!! The quality and price just can't be beat!
Check out stores for sales around Father's Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July and of course the end of season sales. You can find some great deals!
