I have the Pro 500 natural gas...I love it. Had Webers and I would only buy Napoleon from now on....but I bet that will not be for some time. Their customer service was also great...I had a few issues and emailed the company...parts were sent to me (no charge) it was awesome.
We got a prestige pro 500 with price reduction. Mounting it was a huge challenge. Everything was super tight and didn’t fit in well and the boreholes of the holder for towels didn’t fit with the thread of the grill. Maybe that was the reason for the reduction
Just recently purchased a Napoleon 425 XT SIB, the best 700 bucks I have ever spent, just an awesome product. I also have a Napoleon Charcoal Pro22K-LEG2 grill just the best products Napoleon for LIFE!!
Worth noting that only the prestige and prestige pro are made in Canada using higher end stainless steel... The other models (rogue, triumph, legend, etc) are made in China using lower grade stainless.
I emailed Napoleon just last week and they confirmed that only the Prestige and Prestige Pro are made in Canada, the rogue is still made in China. It’s a shame as I really wanted one.
En Chile se vende esta parrilla, como técnico en gas tengo una pregunta que hacer... ¿Porque no las hacen multigas? aca se usa gas natural y GLP y las que llegan son a GN o a GLP... Si el cliente requiere una de GN y solo tienen a la venta GLP se debe convertir pero la regulación de la perilla es el problema. atento a sus comentarios
I wanted the lex 485. model. I went to Patio Place and the guys were awesome. One thing he said to me, is that the only one thats made it China is the lex 485. ARRGG can you believe it. My luck. All others are made in Barrie with top grade Stainless. China uses more steel content in their stainless. That's why it rust faster. WHY ME?? The only one that I like with my budget and the right width for my deck.
@@DH-ce6dh Out of the 5 models Napoleon has, which are Triumph, Rogue, Legend, Prestige and Prestige Pro, only the Prestige ones are Canadian built. I was also looking at the ones at C.Tire, but I knew the Canadian made would last much longer since the quality of both materials and labour would be superior. I bought a 2018 P500 model in spring 2019 for $1099. After 1 full year of use, I just love my P500. I would even pay more money than what I paid for and still be completely satisfied. I will never go back to any cheap brands...Ever! My 2 cents, if you can't afford a Prestige this year, wait for next year. You will not regret it. Cheers and happy grilling! :)
@@firstnamelastname9832 Weber switched their Genesis line to manufacturing in China when they introduced the Genesis II. This is not necessarily a sign of bad quality, but it matters to some. A quick search will answer your question.
Just had the Prestige Pro 500 delivered, after spending more than an hour assembling it only to realize that the heat shield was cut too large on one side to be able to fit. How does something like this even happen when Napoleon says what attention to detail and quality standards they have. They said they would ship us a new one and hopefully it will get here soon ( we are concerned about the Covid shutdown) as all the pieces are now living on my patio! What a letdown after thinking I had splurged on a top quality product.
I bought one some years ago and experienced a number of disappointing issues early on. The thermometer was not accurate, the wiring for the control knob lights melted, some of the igniters failed due to high voltage punch through of the inadequate insulated wires, the screened printing on the control knob panel peeled off, the plated steel grease tray rusted through and the chrome plated handles around the left and right sides pitted. I have always keep it covered when not in use. So I am highly disappointed buying a high end grill that lacks quality in the details.
A colleague told me that not all Napolean grills are "Made In Canada". Only their Prestige Pro and Prestige lines are Canadian made, Rogue and below are Made in China. Their warranties are a bit misleading. I am still deciding between a Weber or Napolean natural gas grill.
Good choice, I'm looking at buying one down under in NZ. One question, can you confirm where the Rogue 525 was made? I'm hoping Canada as most models we get here including Weber are made in china.
Wow I have to get me one of these NAPOLEON Grills. Weber Grill's just don't cut it anymore, Seems anything home depot sell and get a cut from, has it's looses, Do to home Depot's Cut and weber tries to pass it on to the buyer's.the Consumer. I am not having home depot cut as my loss. No way. So NAPOLEON here I Come :o)
Weber, Broil-King and Napoleon all have cheaper models that are made in China and sold through big-box stores. Independent dealers carry the Made in Canada and Made in USA models.
the question is WHAT TYPE OF STAINLESS? Is it type 304? then list that in the add books! The cheap type 430 stainless is magnetic and I bet a magnet will stick to this grill everywhere!
I'm a journeyman sheet metal worker, what do you what to know about SS? Telling you right now if you are looking for 316L or 304, better have $8000 in your back pocket or more depending upon gauge. 304 is food grade, 302 is probably what it's made of. Your stainless steel dishwasher is probably made from 430. All metals have their strengths and weaknesses. Yes, 16g 316L would be lovely, like a Lynx grill, but you'll be paying $10,000 plus.
@@gregjordan5899 I have the 665 Prestige Pro sitting on my deck now, I pulled the pin late last summer. It's 304 SS, hood, grates ( main cooking grate, warming rack is chrome coated), cook box, heavy duty spit rod, front panel. Back inside panel is porcelain coated, cart is not 304 SS, but 400 series of some sort I believe. Legs are not 304 either. 304 WILL rust in a salty environment, as in near to ocean air. Inland, you shouldn't have much concern if you look after it such as covering it. I love the grill, even heat and holds heat. I was burying the needle at 700 degree's in -30 cooking pizzas on a stone no problem at all. Never could ever do that with a throw away bbq.
@@gregjordan5899 Also, the asking price was $3499, which neither store seemed willing to budge on close to the end of the season.

I was fair to them, they made some money off me, I saved $450 with taxes, everyone is happy.
just like anything else there are higher price ones and lower cost ones - just depends on what you want from it. I love mine - so much cheaper than replacing my weber grill every 1-2 years
GERALD MILLER thing is why a lot of lower income people buys low quality items then spends more money repeatedly buying something again because it broke. I understand not everyone can afford to buy quality items but just save up and wait to buy it

Received mine two days ago, the two nights of cooking has been absolutely perfect, the sear zone is amazing!!!
they are so fkn good, lynx too
12 years old for my unit ,looks like the day I bought it.👍🇨🇦
Also bought one 5 years ago; still operates as bran new. Very satisfied with the Napoleon BBQ !
Mine is 13 years old. Needs cleaning every spring, but ya, love the thing.
Love my Napoleon Grill. It's been 3 years and not a problem thusfar.

Updated comment
Can't wait to get my Pro 825!
Iv been searching everywhere, what’s the back look for the prestigious, pro? Is it stainless on the back?
Excited for my 500 pro built in. Have been waiting 13 weeks for it to come in so I hope the wait will be worth it
Crickets…
anything? lol
Did you ever get your money back?
Where are the prestige pro 665 and 825 manufactured?
Not your typical made in China BBQ. So proud it is Canadian made!
Bought one a month ago and so far its great. Like the internal lights.
Where did you get it from?
Justin Robertson local dealer. They assembled and delivered. Didn’t charge me anything extra to do it. I’m not big on assembling stuff.
Its so hard for me to find one locally for a decent price right now.
Justin Robertson I paid 1950 assembled and delivered if that helps. They also took old one.
Ive got a private built in one (really big) with LED and i love it so much , its the prestige pro 665
Mines coming in 2 weeks built in too with a primo xl right next to it.
Can’t wait!!
Ahh yes the Rolls Royce of BBQ
Made in the U.S.A!!! Sold gotta order my new grill
All of them are made in local?

What do you do with the grill in the winter? I've purchased a cover, is that enough? I live in Toronto, Canada.
Throw it in the shed or garage for best preservation
do what I do ...keep cooking throughout the winter..tastes a LOT better !!
Wish they'd do the toast test before sending them to stores!
Love that it is made in Canada! Just need to make sure its the Canadian line though. I've read that Canadian Tire has a cheaper line made in China.

My Weber has served me well for 17 years now. I'm on my 4th burner/grates but that's the cost of hundreds and hundreds of badass BBQ meals!
its made in China now so your lucky to have one made in the USA

I need it!!!
uma pena não ter eles aqui no Brasil, com certeza fariam sucesso
I don't think is a good idea to put LEDs on the control panel. The surface could get very hot. I hope it well insulated against the heat.
Been a horrible Weber fanboy... man, for quite a few years. Would love to give Napoleon a try after watching this.

When you buy better stuff, you don't replace it as often. You save some good money in the long run. :D
and I am too poor to buy cheap shit. You will save money by buying a higher quality product then having to replace it all the time.
