Weber Go Anywhere Review Facts

Anyone who loves a good barbecue knows how difficult it is to find a good grill. There are lots of factors that go into finding the perfect option, including price, how well it can cook the food, and how durable it is. There are even people who demand to have one that has excellent portability because they want to take it with them to go camping or to have a barbecue while doing other outdoor activities.

If you fall into the latter category, then you may want to check out the Weber Go Anywhere. As the name suggests, this product is perfect for anyone who is looking for something that they can take with them on vacation, into the mountains, or while they go camping. It’s very compact and lightweight, and you will find that it won’t take up too much space in your car when you transport it with you. Besides that, it is incredibly easy to clean, which is important for when you go on a camping trip because your resources are rather limited. All the instructions as far as setting it up and making it work are straightforward. There is a gas version and a charcoal version, so depending on which way you prefer to make your food, you will be able to choose. Most people chose the gas version, however, stating that it's easier to use than the charcoal. This product is durable and so are the small legs that it comes with to be used as supports.

Other than that, what’s perhaps the most important is that everyone was pleased with how well it cooked their food. Weber grills are known for their great quality and ability to cook food evenly and thoroughly. You will have a lot of options as far as food goes, so if you’re someone who wants to cook something other than hamburgers and hot dogs, you’re in luck. Plus, there is a lot of room to cook, which is rather unheard of for such a compact and lightweight grill. And finally, if you’re on a budget, then you don’t need to look much further.

So, without further ado, let’s get into all the different features that the Weber Go Anywhere offers and what customers had to say about it.

Design

Since the Weber Go Anywhere is mostly meant to be used for camping trips, it does have a simple design. This simple design will help to make sure that it is best for you to take with you everywhere. This Weber product is compact and it’s black, which is a typical color for any type of grill. If you have been a fan of this brand for a while, you know that this series has been in production for quite a long time. And, the newer models of the Go Anywhere do not differ much from the previous models, since there wasn’t much that needed to be fixed.

Even though this product is meant to be compact, there is enough space for you to be able to cook six burgers at a time. It is meant to provide the maximum amount of space for cooking possible without losing any of its portability. The legs also work as a lock, so it makes transporting it a lot easier. A lot of people were pleased with the design and with how well it worked for them, as well as its locking mechanism.

Performance

One of the main areas where people were particularly pleased with this product was when it came to its performance. You’ll be able to cook just about anything you’d like using this, including vegetables, meats of all kinds, sausages, burgers, and more. And, what’s best is that a lot of people were pleased with the way that their food cooked- they said that the food was cooked completely evenly to a nice temperature.

You will want to put the charcoal into a heap before you light the grill, and something else that’s important to note is that there is a version of this that does not use gas. So, if you’re someone who prefers using gas over charcoal, then perhaps that is something you may want to consider before you purchase this. You will want to make sure that you're purchasing the gas version instead of the charcoal one.

Size

Considering the fact that this is meant to be portable, it should be expected that its measurements and weight will be minimal. It is 14.5 inches tall, 12.2 inches long, and 21 inches wide. The grill is 14.5 pounds when you have it assembled, but it is 15.2 inches when it is in the package. This is extremely lightweight for a grill, and this is important to consider especially since it’s meant to be something that you will take with you when you go on camping trips.

Flexibility

It is difficult to discuss flexibility when it comes to grills, but we can say that this one is fairly flexible in terms of how well you will be able to transport it. All you have to do is fold the legs in and it's ready to go. A nice thing about this product is how compact it is, meaning that you aren’t going to find that it’s an extreme hassle to carry with you anywhere if you’re someone who likes to grill away from home. So, this is a flexible option in terms of when and where you will be able to use it.

Durability

There is not much information about how durable the Go Anywhere is- or what about it is exactly durable- but a lot of people said that they were able to get quite a lot of use out of the product and that they were not left disappointed. Another great feature is that you will be getting a limited 10-year warranty when you purchase it, so should anything go wrong or should you not get what you were hoping for, you will be able to get it fixed or have it returned.

People said that it had sturdy legs which were able to support it nicely, and it is made out of enamel. Overall, there weren’t any negative reviews on any part of the grill’s durability, and it seems that it is able to hold up well for a very long time.

Ease of Use

One of the biggest things that a lot of people loved about this is how easy it is to use. All that you have to do when setting it up is you have to pull the legs out. That’s it- once that's done, you’re ready to start cooking. You will have to then start putting in the charcoal, and it’s recommended that you put it in a pile instead of having the charcoal evenly spread out. However, there is also a gas version, so you can choose to purchase that one instead if you want to use gas instead of charcoal. The Go Anywhere has an extremely large cooking area, especially considering the fact that is so small, so you won’t have to worry about not being able to cook enough food. This is great at cooking your food completely evenly, and it will also be able to retain the heat while cooking.

Portability

The selling point is easily the fact that you are able to transport it anywhere you want. It only weighs 14.5 pounds- which, according to some, is still heavy for a portable grill- but it's not overwhelmingly large and the handle on the top makes it a lot easier to carry. Plus, the legs lock inwards, so you won’t have to worry about the lid or the legs flopping around as you carry it. This product is meant to be used in a variety of different conditions, and you can cook virtually anything you want to on it. So, whether you’re going on a camping trip, a hiking trip, or just want to have a picnic-barbecue with your immediate friends and family, this will be perfect for you.

Cooking Area

The Go Anywhere has a large cooking area, which is so large that it is unexpected for such a small grill. In fact, a lot of people agree that this offers the largest amount of space for cooking seeing that is meant to be portable. It offers 160 square inches of cooking space, which is perhaps the most that you could ask for without making it unsuitable for transportation.

This is also a great option if you plan to be going on a trip with your family, because you will be able to make enough food for approximately four or five people. It isn’t really suitable for much more, but then again, that’s to be expected from a compact grill. And you usually won’t be able to make as much food with another option anyways. So, not only are you getting a completely portable grill out of the deal , but you’re also getting one that will feed you well.

Price

If you are someone who is on a budget but are still looking for an excellent camping grill, then you don’t need to look any further. Another great feature that a lot of people appreciated was how inexpensive it is, especially when compared to other similar options on the market. The retail price is $60.99, but you will be able to find it for around $50-$55 on other websites online. This is an excellent price for a grill made by such a reputable brand, and you won’t have to worry about the price being a symbol of quality. On almost every website where the grill is sold, it has almost five-star reviews.
