Poor quality gas regulators.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I have owned Char-Broil grills for at least the last 15 years, my last three models all being infrared. I love the way these grills cook and had no problems with my prior grills. Last year in March I bought from Lowe's a three-burner true infrared commercial grill. Within 4 months, I had to have the regulator replaced as no matter what I did and no matter how many troubleshooting sessions I went through, the grill would only turn on a very weak flame. I checked for spiders I did all of the troubleshooting. They replaced the regulator and the problem was solved... Until this year. I went to use my grill, and again the same problem with the gas regulator sticking. I called their customer service and spoke to Alfredo went through the troubleshooting I had already looked for spider webs and the issue could not be resolved. But this year they refuse to replace the obviously defective regulator, and wanted to sell me high priced parts. I will never buy Char-Broil grills again as I look upon this as an obvious defect in the regulator. Purchasing another grill from them, would only allow them to keep making the regulators cheap, and therefore leaving me with a good looking grill that will not cook.

Torn grill cover

I received your double top grill cover for Christmas this year, It already has a tear in it. We attempted to return it to Lowes they informed us that the return policy is 30 days. We paid $100 for the cover it should last us years we are not happy with the product and feel that Char Broil should send a new one to replace it

Discriminatory remark by company representative

I was asked by customer service rep who put my grill together and I said that I did. He stated Im impressed. I never knew a woman could do it . I reminded him that many men dont know how to put it together either. I felt uncomfortable from there and felt discriminated against as a woman. He sent me replacement parts for what HE thought was wrong with it and after receiving them I dont Think a woman or a man could replace the parts the way the grill is designed. These were not parts I put together to begin with. I want my money back or a new grill. If not, as an attorney, I may file a discrimination lawsuit against them.

Faulty product

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I got a new grill for Christmas, and it did not work, took it back to Lowes and got a replacement for the same grill. Took it home, it did not work either. Replaced the fuel line and regulator going into the grill, it still will not work. Called to get money back or a different grill, and they asked to do a bunch of things to the grill and see if I could get it working. I did all the things they said to do, and it's still not working. Check it before you buy it

When I tried to order using my IPhone the representative failed to inform me this was an automated process and using an I-Phone you can’t relay your CC numbers through the phone system as this is the

Poor customer service. The representative should ask what device you are using and if its an IPhone put you through to a customer service representative to do it verbally.

Replacement parts

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I bought a grill back in April used it for a few weeks and they ignition switch went out that was back at the beginning of May and I am still sitting here with no ignition switch. I have called up customer service and number of times they keep on telling me its on back order, they received an email it is being shipped to the company and I should be receiving it within a few weeks Ive heard this two months ago. Just called again and now its on back order until October. Why did I buy a grill so I can cook in the winter time! I have never received any emails no just so you know this is whats going on unless if I took my time to call customer service. I have always had a weber grill this is the first time not buying a weber grill here will most likely be the last time! Spent $350 to look at it and not using it because I dont feel like its safe to take a lighter and start the fire. That is not why I bought a gas grill

Preferred solution: I have the grill and I’m taking it it works minus the ignition switch what I’m looking for is either someone tell me go and buy a new one at Home Depot and they will reimburse me for it or just get me an ignition
