Royal Gourmet — Expert Take
The Royal Gourmet 8-Burner scores 74/100 for its dual-zone grilling and ample cooking space, great for parties.
The Royal Gourmet 8-Burner offers impressive cooking capacity with 993 sq. in. grates and 104,000 BTUs, ideal for large gatherings. Its dual, independently controlled systems provide flexibility. Constructed from alloy steel, it weighs 119 lbs and spans 90.31"W × 90.31"L. While the folding design enhances usability and storage, the substantial size might be a concern for smaller patios. Overall, it's a powerful, feature-rich option for serious backyard chefs.
The Royal Gourmet GA5401T scores 74/100 for its versatile 61,000 BTU output and ample grilling space.
The Royal Gourmet GA5401T offers a substantial 602 sq. in. grilling area and a powerful 61,000 BTU output across its five burners, including a dedicated sear burner. Its stainless steel construction and double-layer lid promise good heat retention for consistent results. While the porcelain-enameled cast iron grates are durable, the main body is a mix of stainless and regular steel, which might impact long-term corrosion resistance in harsh climates. It's a solid mid-range option for families seeking versatile grilling power.
Suncast — Expert Take
The Suncast Outdoor Storage Box scores 74/100 for stylish, weather-resistant storage with added seating functionality.
The Suncast Outdoor Storage Box offers a stylish and functional solution for outdoor storage needs. Made from durable poly resin, it resists fading and warping, ensuring longevity. With a capacity of 73 gallons, it’s great for cushions and garden gear while the reinforced lid provides additional seating for up to 300 lbs. Assembly is tool-free and quick, making it user-friendly. However, its durability rating is average compared to alternatives, and some users may find it less sturdy than desired.
The Suncast 22-Gallon Outdoor Storage Box scores 74/100 for its easy assembly and dual-use design.
The Suncast 22-Gallon Deck Box offers a convenient, tool-free assembly and a dual-purpose design as a seating option. Its durable resin construction with UV protection ensures year-round weather resistance, keeping contents like cushions and tools dry. While the 22-gallon capacity is suitable for smaller items, it might be insufficient for larger patio furniture covers or extensive gardening tools. The stone grey, wood-panel aesthetic blends well with outdoor decor. This box is ideal for those prioritizing easy setup and multi-functionality for moderate storage needs.
