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

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 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
