Review by Michelle Ami:

I bought two of these tables and I’m very satisfied. They’re light weight, which makes them easy to transport, assembles easily, durable, and breaks down easy. Perfect for intimate picnics, where you plan to sit on low beach chairs or on the floor. I’m very happy with this purchase and with the vendor.

Review by Darrell Koller:

I recently purchased the wooden version of this table and am very disappointed in the quality of its construction. The hanger bolts that attach the legs to the top are incredibly off-center on three of the legs making it difficult to attach them. Additionally, the bolts stripped out of the wood on two of the legs on the first attempt to snug them. Trust me. I did not attempt to overtighten them. The wood of which the legs are made is extremely soft and I believe the holes were over-sized. Needless to say that this thing is getting returned. I don’t understand why there is so little pride in workmanship. It would have added little or nothing to the cost of this unit to have made it right. I cannot recommend this product.

Review by Elizabeth Smith:

This table is wondeful! It’s very easy to assemble and fits in the bag that’s easy to carry. It’s just great for picnics if you want to use a normal height chair..one that also fits in a bag. I never expected such good quality for such a small price.

Review by S. Meeks:

Portable/collapsible table.

This product is amazing; we bought it for our daughter who paints windows for businesses in the city. She loves the portability and the size which is perfect for her painting supplies. I am so happy with this purchase and I will not hesitate to shop Amazon again…

Review by B. Medina:

This chair is the envy of ALL my family, they all leave their drinks on MY table. It was well worth the price. It is sturdy and comfortable. I also enjoy it being so light to tote and having a place for EVERYTHING!

Review by J. McClure:

Pros: Sturdy to sit on. Comfortable for a larger behinds. Strong fabric that appears that it will last through a lot of use and support heavier adults well. Carry strap is detachable. Side pocket with compartments is detachable. Light weight and easy to carry without the carry strap. Side table is large and sturdy and well placed. I will be using for camping purposes but doubles well for extra seating in the back yard and will carry easily to the neighborhood block party providing me with my own table for dinner.

Cons: Side table is a speckled look. (black, white and gray) I would have preferred a soid color or stainless steel like the rest of the table.

Review by Robert B. Recupito:

My wife and I wanted a new grill for tailgating at Miami Dolphins games this year. I am somewhat of a home gourmet and I am extremely particular of my cooking accouterments. After reading countless reviews on many different sites we narrowed it down to the Weber Q and the Coleman Roadtrip LXE. We went to Outdoor World here in Fort Lauderdale and actually looked at both as they had floor models available. We chose the Roadtrip based on it’s modular ease of set-up and take down (I’ve never seen anything easier), the high 20,000 BTU output and the dual burner set-up, none of which the Weber Q had unless you purchased the top of the line Weber which was more than double the price in order to get dual burners and the higher BTU’s. The Weber Q stand seemed much flimsier also.

After deciding on this grill we ordered it from Amazon for 9.00 and we chose the free shipping as we were not in any hurry since football season pre-games don’ start until August. Amazon had the lowest price we could find. We were surprised to see this grill show up on our door step just 4 days later when the free shipping option told us it would take almost 2 weeks.

I opened the box and set it up immediately and I was pleasantly surprised that it came out of the box nearly complete. Just put the wheels on, attach the handle and the regulator and you’re good to go. About 15 minutes in all as compared to hours I have spent assemblying other new grills.

Next came the cook test and the clean up test. After reading other reviewers saying that they lined the inside with foil for easier cleanup, I thought this was a good idea and did the same. I laid foil across the entire insides and with a steak knife cut around the 2 burners and a hole so any drippings could fall into the drip pan. I have read that the instructions for some of these roadtrip grills say to place water in the bottom for easier clean-up. NOT this model. The instructions say nothing of the sort. From reading many reviews, I summize that is on the standard Roadtrip model Model No. 9941-768 not this LXE model so the foil is a good idea.

I chose a beautiful 28 day aged NY Stip steak and my wife a 2 1/2″ barrel cut filet. I preheated the grill for 5 minutes with the lid open on medium, wiped one side of the grill with vegetable oil and the other side with Pam for grilling(handles higher heats). I wanted to see right from the beginning which worked better on these porcelain coated cast iron grills. I can tell you I saw absoultely no difference between the two and will continue to use the Pam.

This grill gets HOT! I have to say that I was concerned about the fact that these grill surfaces do have the center area as solid cast iron(no open grill) so no flame gets through over the top of the burners. My concern was no flame hitting the meat = less flavor. The purpose for this is so that grease does not fall directly onto the 2 burners themselves. Let me clarify, there is open grill area…just not directly over the burners. I can report that this concern turned out to be competely unfounded. I rubbed the steaks with olive oil and salt & peppered them and placed each one directly over each burner on the unopened flame area. From the very first second I knew that the searing was going to be awesome and it was. It sizzled like nothing I have ever heard before except on commercial kitchen grills. The grill marks were perfect, the taste and flavor was perfect. I can’t say enough about this grill. So far I love it but what about clean up.

The grills cooled down very quickly. I soaked the two porcelain coated cast iron grills in soapy hot water in my kitchen sink over night, as they fit no problem. I honestly don’t think I needed to because I ran my finger accoss to see how “baked” on the residue was. It semed to come off pretty easily but I was full on a 16 oz NY strip and several glasses of Cabernet so they could wait until morning. The next morning the grills cleaned up so easily with a soapy wet sponge and I removed the foil lining and wiped the whole inside down with a soapy wet sponge and wiped it out with a dry towel. There was no difference in ease of clean up between the vegetable oil side or the Pam side. Both were easy. The porcelain coated cast iron grills do not need “seasoning” as un-coated cast iron grills do and if something does get baked on you can use a brass grill brush to clean them. Just make sure the brush is brass. It’s softer and won’t damage the procelain coating.

Folks, forget about any of the horror stories you hear about this grill…it’s awesome. It gets so hot you don’t need to close the lid so don’t let that be a deterrent unlesss you smoke your food. The only reason I give this grill a 4 and not a 5 is because of the fact you can’t cook with the lid closed. Although I said don’t let it be a deterrent, it would be nice to smoke food. Also worth noting is that this new version comes with two grill surfaces. The older version came with one grill and one griddle and you were forced to buy an additional grill surface. Also with this new version the grill does NOT come off of the stand to be placed on a table top and the lid does not come off. I have read the opposite from other reviewers. Perhaps those things were true with older models. I know this was a long review, but these were all things I was concerned about and that I read conflicting stories on. I hope my review is helpful to you!

Review by Kenneth Montgomery:

I’ve actually owned the Coleman Road Trip LXE Grill for several months and have had it stored in my travel trailer, just waiting for the opportunity to use it while traveling. However, my daughter and her husband had the idea to “rough it” camp at Edison Lake in the high Sierras of California.

Robert Recupito wrote an insightful review of the Coleman Road Trip LXE Grill on July 9, 2006. I echo much of what he reported in his use of the LXE grill.

Our experience was limited to two days and nights of varied cooking. The first experience was grilling polish dogs for lunch. The dogs fit perfectly in the grill’s grooves and were cooked very evenly through and through with the lid closed. That evening I cooked two tri-tip roasts. The grills had been pretreated with Pam barbecue spray, making cleanup very easy. After some basic seasoning, the roasts turned out perfectly cooked, crisp on the outside and full of natural juices on the inside. Day two was an instant replay of the first day with hamburgers as the main course.

I had purchased the gridle and a grate accessories for the LXE grill and can report that this was money wisely invested. My wife used the grate to brew the morning coffee and, later, whipped up a tasty mixture of hash browns, onions, and cheese. The LXE’s variable heat and grate sturdiness made the preparation of this and other large pan dishes a snap. The gridle made cooking pancakes a breeze. Even with no Pam or cooking oil, the pancakes were light and fluffy and did not stick to the gridle.

If you’re a barbecue enthusiast and use the Coleman LXE extensively, consider using a large propane container like I did. I bought a CharBroil propane hose/adapter at Lowe’s for and connected it to the LXE. Since I already owned the 5 gallon propane tank, my only expense was filling the tank with propane. Why go into so much detail about this, you might ask. If you’ve priced those little propane bottles to fuel small barbecues and lanterns, the money spent on the larger quantity of propane and the hose adapter will pay for itself rapidly over a summer’s worth of use.

Clean up of LXE was certainly effortless. The recommendation of using foil to line the area surrounding the burners is certainly worth considering as well as the drip tray beneath the LXE. I soaked the cooking grates in OxyClean for about 15 minutes and whatever residue remained from two days of cooking was easily removed.

Like many other users, I recommend the LXE for its ease of use and versatility.

Review by Patrick Ray:

Very good light and powerful unit… Maybe to hot a burner but it sure does it’s job… We canned Salmon in the field in Alaska..

Review by A. R. Little II:

I’ve had this stove for over a year now and it’s a champ. Much more heavy duty then a dual-fuel coleman or the like. You can actually cook on this. The burners are heavy duty and it hooks up to a standard propane tank. Great for surviving weeks without power (I live in a hurricane area) or portable enough to go camping, deer lease weekends, or tailgating if you’re cooking for a crew or want to make real food.

Review by Tool Connoisseur:

This is a great little portable grill – if you don’t expect too much! (Too many people write reviews here expecting inexpensive items to be gold plated and nuclear powered). It’s not meant to replace a regular full-size grill and shouldn’t be compared to one. Use it for car camping or a tailgate party for cooking for two or three people (maybe four but that’s pushing it) and just realize it has limitations, though they are easy to work around.

I got it on sale for only so consider it an excellent value. It was simple to put together, no directions required and takes about a minute. My legs stay in well once inserted and come back out with a good tug. There is an included nylon carry-bag which works fine for keeping the parts together (the grille, two legs, gas bottle, pan support and plastic grille cover). It also functions well as a regular single-burner stove when you take the grill off. It feels stable and solid if set on a good surface.

The burner adjusts well from off to low to high and is quick and easy to start by pushing the burner control knob in. The drippings collect well in the pan below the burner. There is a small griddle on one side of the grill that will hold one egg or pancake (or two small ones). The biggest drawback is the heat distribution. Since it uses a small burner in the middle and has no heat distribution baffle; it is much hotter in the center than towards the edge. You get around this by actively moving your burgers around to keep them cooking evenly (this can be an advantage if you want something to cook slower by pushing to the outside). Coleman says you must put water in the catch basin, which seems to distribute the heat a little better but I think that is also to reduce the possibility of a grease fire. I tried it a couple of times without the water and it worked OK.

Overall, it is a good value when used for what it is intended for. I think Coleman could have designed the grill with better heat distribution without significantly adding to the cost, so I give it four stars.

Review by K. Stuckey:

I camped down at MIS and bought this grill on sale the day before. Not only was it easy to set up once I was down there – it was perfect for me since I was cooking only for one. It was awesome to take the grill top off and be able to perk coffee in the morning and then grill burgers on it later. Definitely fill the basin when grilling, it makes cleanup a snap. The bag makes it super portable and the propane attachment is a breeze to replace. All in all a great deal and super useful.
