Kenmore 2-Burner Gas Grill Model #464722509
Selling for around $190 (but get it on sale at K-Mart for around $170) you get a dual zone, single burner gas grill with a low powered side burner.

This Kenmore gas grill by Char-Broil is typical of the low end, mass-market gas grills. Poor quality components with poor quality construction.

Kenmore Elite Premium Gas Grill
With the exception of the side burner this grill offers little else in the way of features. The 60,000 BTUs of its main burners puts out good heat for the size of the grill.

Kenmore Red 3-Burner Gas Grill (model #16301)
This grill is built to sell on its looks. Available in bright red or blue this nit looks unique on the showroom floor but lacks the quality construction to make it worth the well over $300 it regularly sells for.
