94 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other grills, grill parts and burners, smokers and smoking gear, grill tools, outdoor griddles, outdoor kitchen appliances and grill covers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The E-435 runs on propane and delivers 19,000 BTUs across three burners, giving you reasonable heat control for direct grilling, searing, or holding a lower temp on one side while cooking hot on the other. The 428-square-inch porcelain enamel cooking surface handles a full round of burgers or a couple of racks of ribs without crowding.
The porcelain enamel construction is a practical choice at this price. It resists rust better than plain cast iron, cleans up with a grill brush, and holds heat evenly once it comes up to temperature. The freestanding cart design sits at a comfortable working height and the 102.5-pound frame stays stable on a patio or deck.
At $779 you are paying for finish quality and brand positioning. The 94 reviews with a 4.4-star average is a thinner sample than you would find on budget grills with thousands of ratings, so treat buyer sentiment as a promising early signal rather than a definitive verdict.

Performance notes
Fuel is propane. Three burners produce a combined 19,000 BTUs across a 428-square-inch primary cooking surface. The porcelain enamel grates distribute radiant heat evenly and are more forgiving on maintenance than raw cast iron. Overall dimensions are 26.6 x 51.8 x 46.2 inches and weight is 102.5 pounds. The black porcelain enamel finish resists chipping under normal outdoor use.
What buyers say
With 94 reviews averaging 4.4 stars, early buyers lean positive. The sample is small enough that a handful of outlier reviews could shift the average, but a 4.4 from nearly 100 purchasers suggests the grill performs as expected out of the box.

Frequently asked questions
Does the E-435 work with natural gas or only propane?
The listed specs show propane as the fuel type. If you need natural gas, confirm with the manufacturer whether a conversion kit is available. Most grills at this price point are sold in a propane-only configuration unless a natural gas variant is explicitly listed.
How much food can you cook at once on the E-435?
The primary cooking area is 428 square inches. That fits roughly 20 to 24 standard hamburger patties at once, or a mix of chicken thighs and corn. No warming rack area is listed in the specs, so plan your cooking capacity around that 428-square-inch figure.
Is assembly manageable for one person?
At 102.5 pounds, this grill is safest to position and assemble with two people. Most freestanding propane grills in this size range take one to two hours with basic hand tools. Check the included instruction sheet for the exact step count and hardware list.
