Amana 4-Burner Black Textured Grill with Griddle

Amana 4-Burner Black Textured Grill with Griddle

Regarding BBQ Inc.

The Bottom Line

This Amana is made by SureHeat for Target stores. This year the low quality stainless steel has been replaced with powder coated steel keeping the price down (around $350USD). On paper this grill looks good with most the features you want for a gas grill at this price. The problem with this grill, like many large units in this price range is light weight construction, limited support. There are many better grills on the market for this price.

Pros

  • Good features for the price
  • Lots of storage space

Cons

  • Lightweight construction
  • Limited manufacturer support
  • Many plastic parts
  • Thin metal throughout

Description

  • Four 13,000 BTU 304 stainless steel tubular burners
  • 620 square inches of primary grilling space for a total grilling area of 750 square inches
  • 52,000 BTU maximum output from the main burners
  • 12,000 BTU brass cap side burner under flush mounted cover
  • 12,000 BTU rear mounted infrared rotisserie burner
  • Porcelain coated cast iron cooking grates
  • Powder coated steel and 430 stainless steel construction
  • Plastic knobs and handle connections
  • Cover, rotisserie kit, and propane tank sold separately
  • Manufactured by Sureheat and sold exclusively through Target Stores

Guide Review - Amana 4-Burner Black Textured Grill with Griddle (Model #AM33LP)

This grill has been discontinued.

This is another mass market grill that looks good if you don't look deep. For around $350USD you get a four burner grill with a side burner and rotisserie burner. The size and features are sure to make this a popular grill.

Unfortunately the quality of construction and materials is lacking. Designed to look good on the showroom floor this lightweight grill puts out a lot of heat for the size and if you pick up a rotisserie kit you will get a full feature grill.

Amana has nothing to do with the support of these grills and you can not return it to Target, the exclusive seller. If you purchase this grill and have problems you will need to contact SureHeat directly. SureHeat is a company that appears to be in decline. Recently support has become hard to get and parts are virtually none existent. This grill is made in SureHeat's Chinese factory.

Sureheat has made many, better grills under different names in the past, but this certainly isn't their best work.
