Thinking of getting the Napoleon Prestige 500 RSIB or the Prestige Pro RSIB. I was set on the pro for about 5 minutes until the cost conscious part of me said why are you paying 500 more for an old school halogen light, a slide out tank tray and an ice bucket. Yeas I know it has some fancy lights and thicker grates as well.
Am I missing anything here? Is it really worth the difference?
Reasons we are making the purchase is we want a decent grill that will last awhile and Napoleon seems to have a nice warranty that will cover things for 15 years. We are basic, hamburgers/hotdogs on the grill, wife does a little chicken and we do steaks which is why the sear burner is enticing.
We have a weber spirit now which we though would be our last grill, but it is an utter disappointment, about 2 years and 2 weeks after getting it we replaced almost the entire grill under warranty and we have had it about 8 years now. It probably need another full replacement at least 2 years ago.
We are potentially open to another Weber if someone convinced us it would really be worth it over the Napoleon.
Budget is no higher than the Prestige 500. In order to go higher it would have to have some super features like the Pro version to make it potentially worthwhile.
The only thing I really don't like about the Napoleon is it doesn't have a fuel gauge like the higher up Weber do.
