Why should you buy Viking VQGI5361NSS/VQGI5361LSS Grill? The Pros and Cons
Pros
Exceptional heat output for quick and even grilling
The cast brass burners deliver up to 25,000 BTUs each, allowing for high-temperature grilling that quickly sears meats while locking in flavors. The even heat distribution ensures no cold spots, so food cooks thoroughly and consistently.
Durable construction built for longevity
The heavy-duty welded stainless steel frame enhances the grill’s durability by preventing grease and moisture buildup, reducing wear and tear over time. This makes it a long-term investment for serious grillers.
Rotisserie feature adds versatility
The dual-position rotisserie, paired with the 14,000 BTU infrared burner, allows you to slow-cook meats evenly while preserving their juices. The three-speed motor accommodates different cooking styles, making it ideal for poultry, roasts, and larger cuts of meat.
Reliable ignition system for easy startups
The hot surface ignition system eliminates the need for matches or lighters, ensuring a hassle-free grilling experience. It provides a quick and reliable flame every time you start the grill.
Enhanced nighttime visibility for late-evening grilling
The dual halogen grill surface lights illuminate the cooking area, allowing for better visibility when grilling in low-light conditions. The LED-illuminated controls also enhance the aesthetic and usability of the grill at night.
Cons
High fuel consumption due to powerful burners
The high BTU output ensures excellent performance, but it also means that the grill may consume more fuel compared to lower-BTU models. This can lead to higher gas usage, especially for frequent grilling.
Premium price point may not be budget-friendly
Due to its professional-grade features and heavy-duty construction, this grill is positioned at a higher price point. It may not be the best option for those looking for a more budget-friendly outdoor grill.
Built-in design requires dedicated installation
Unlike portable grills, this model is designed for built-in setups, meaning you need a dedicated outdoor kitchen or grilling station. This limits its portability and requires proper planning for installation.
Infrared burner may require a learning curve
The rear infrared burner provides high-intensity heat, which requires some adjustment in cooking techniques. Users unfamiliar with infrared grilling may need to experiment with settings to avoid overcooking or burning food.
Heavy-duty construction increases weight and makes repositioning difficult
The solid stainless steel construction makes this grill quite heavy, meaning once it’s installed, repositioning it is challenging. This can be a drawback if you plan to remodel or relocate your outdoor cooking space in the future
