Char-Broil T480 Four Burner and Char-Boil Grill2Go Advantage Review
Two other Char-Broil grills that we researched are the Char-Broil T480 Four Burner and the Char-Broil Grill2Go Advantage. The Char-Broil Grill2Go Advantage is a portable, cheap gas grill that Char-Broil Grill2Go Advantage reviews on Amazon call fun to use, easy to clean, and a grill that performs well. The Char-Broil T480 Four Burner gas grill is not portable, and Char-Broil T480 reviews at Lowe's are mixed, with some saying it's easy to use and clean and others reporting that it rusts easily.
For a cheap gas grill, the Char-Broil Grill2Go Advantage boasts many sought-after features -- and, most notably, it's portable. It has 308 square inches of cooking space, 16,000 BTU, and porcelain-coated grates (we're not sure what lies beneath). The Char-Broil Grill2Go Advantage also sports two shelves and a light, which makes grilling in the dark possible (late-night picnic, anyone?).
The Char-Broil T480 Four Burner, by contrast, is a beast with 685 square inches of cooking surface and 48,000 BTU - the largest grill we identified in this price range. The grates are porcelain-coated stamped steel and it has four main burners that can be individually controlled. The Char-Broil T480 Four Burner also features a warming rack, a side burner, and utensil hooks.
Both of these cheap grills have appealing attributes. The Char-Broil Grill2Go Advantage is a good-sized portable grill that can easily be taken and used anywhere. It garners mostly positive feedback from users and seems to do the trick for tailgating, camping, and even backyards. The Char-Broil T480 Four Burner gets our attention for its sheer size -- this is one powerful grill. But user comments aren't so positive. It seems that the Char-Broil T480 Four Burner works well while it lasts -- "while it lasts" being the key words. According to user reports, the grill doesn't withstand the test of time, so if you only plan to use it for a year or two, this grill might be acceptable. A better bet might be to go for something more durable and more favorably reviewed.
