All of the grills I was interested were in boxes, none were displayed. And yes I do shop on line but if at all possible I like to see the actual product and particularly check apparent quality. As an example I have a Nexgrill from Costco (the one to be replaced) which is rusting though it is stainless steel (a magnet will tell me the grade of SS). One of the candidates to replace it is a Cuisinart, But it appears to be made by the same Chinese manufacture.
I am just not going to the effort to disassemble five or six boxes to get to for example the grate, to find what it is made of.
