Centro BBQ??? - Help Pls

[cudted34]

We are looking for a new BBQ and we saw the Centro BBQ at Cdn Tire. Does anyone have any experience with them? The BBQ themself look sturdy.

I tried to look it up on the net, but came up with nothing.

TIA

Be careful buying the made in China no name BBQ's - when you will require parts a few years from now, nobody is going to have them.

Better off to stick to a name brand product and Centro isn't name brand.

I own a Centro BBQ and it is great.
After seeing it in action 3 of my friends have also bought one and they are quite happy with it. Warrenty service was also great through Canadian Tire.
My BBQ had rolled and flipped over in a wind storm we had here last summer and the hinges for the lid busted. i called canaidan tire, told them exactly what happened and they sent me a lid. I recieved it 3 days later.

This BBQ has been great

My neighbour has one and is very happy with it...

The Centro "Veranda" pedestal electric BBQ is made by "Masterbuilt" which is in the States. So far, we love our bbq. It is easy to clean and takes up very little space on our tiny balcony. Canadian Tire is the only Canadian retailer we could find that carries Masterbuilt BBQ's. You can find more info on the "Veranda" bbqs on the Masterbuilt BBQ site.

Got a Centro myself, bought it for $299.99 last year. No problems whatsoever, good quality machine and cooks things really well =)

If I had to re-buy another BBQ, I'd go with another Centro. The one I got was all metal (no flimsy plastic)

Centro has been improving their support and parts availability over the years. I got a grill and its fine.

we have a 4000 series centro and love it, it has been the guest of honer at all our bbq/patio parties.......after thirty plus uses it still looks and performs like day one.<don't matter if you spend $150 or $1500, proper cleaning and maintainable pre-cautions are needed regardless of brand and cost of any grill.

I purchased a Centro from Canadian Tire about two months ago and I am very happy with it.

I purchased their largest one, natural gas version a couple years ago. We are very happy with it, my only complaint is the side burner is very weak and can get blown out by the wind, but I think this is common with many side burners on BBQ's. We are very happy, especially considering the price, i think i paid $699 it was regular around $1000

2 yr user of Centro, can't complain cause it still works.

I just bought one this year in May.. so far so good.

+1 for Centro as well.

Ours is still doing well two years later....handled the winters outside without any problem....

[myRFD]

i recommend that u buy it. yap! Good deal especially this month. The cast iron grill is must for bbq not only cook fast also last long. they have that feature that some don't have. Don't worry about the parts just make sure clean your bbq everytime you store it for winter. You will enjoy it for a long time. Maintaining it is the key!

[nalababe]

Third Summer for the BBQ. It is left outside (covered) all winter. Never had a problem with it.

Have one of these FOR Sale (chrome dome top, was $150).
Used it 5-10 times this past winter on an apt balcony.
Just moved out.
Reply with an offer if interested.

I bought the centro that was on sale at Cdn tire. They put it together for , used it twice now it won't work. Either they messed up or the connection hose is defective. If there is a problem Cdn tire will not help as they are not allowed you'll have to deal with Centro. A $600 bbq and now I have to trouble shoot on the phone with Centro. Not happy.

I have a relative with an "upper model" Centro and it's giving him some headaches.

His biggest complaints are the cast iron grill being extremely hard to scrape/clean because of their weaved design and un-even heat throughout the grill (some spots are crazy hot compared to others). Uneven heat is a big problem when you are grilling and pretty much sets the BBQs apart.

I'd recommend a Broil King if you are looking for a decent grill. I don't own a Broil King therefore I'm not trying to sell them. However, everyone that I know who owns one loves it and they aren't that pricey. Plus, they are made in Canada. If you have a bit more in your budget for a new BBQ, go for a Napolean BBQ.

[portuguese donkey]

Dont buy it, poor quality, grills dont last, flame tamers rot out , wont stay lit Centro does there own support ,,,,,no returns to store

Buy the Napolean on sale at CTC or Thermos, much better quality and support

[jtuffy]

I bought a Centro 5800 series BBQ and it has been the best BBQ I have owned. It is sturdy, cooks really well, and best of all it looks really cool.

Plus, there are a bunch of add on accessories that you can buy for them!!

Anyone have an opinion on this barbeque? http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=84552444330 3585&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=1408474396672583&bmUID=1219601024072&deptid=1408474396672561&ctgrid=1408474396672562&subctgrid=1408474396672583

It's about $900 in store ATM. Do you guys think it'll drop in price next month? I haven't bought a BBQ in a few years so I don't remember when they start discounting these things or just store them for next year. I'm hoping that Napolean one will drop down to about > $700 (fingers crossed).

I think the Centro veranda model that looks like a buble from space is pretty good. I bought one a couple of days ago and it tooke about 10 minutes to setup and put in place. Great for apartments espeically with restrictive City by-laws. The clincher for me was that I got it for only $59.99.......... :cheesygri great price, so we bought two. One for us and one for my girlfriend's daughter who has just moved into a small apartment condo.
