171 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-325 is a three-burner propane grill rated at 19,000 BTUs total. That output across a 360-square-inch porcelain enamel cooking surface is adequate for everyday grilling, whether you are doing burgers on a weeknight or chicken thighs on a Saturday afternoon. The compact 26.6 x 48.3 x 46.2-inch footprint works well on smaller patios or apartment balconies with propane clearance.
The porcelain enamel grates are a genuine advantage in this price range. They heat up evenly, release food cleanly with minimal sticking after a proper preheat, and hold up against moisture better than bare cast iron. At 98 pounds the cart is stable without being awkward to move when you need to rearrange the patio.
The 4.6-star rating from 171 reviews is notably high for a grill in the $499 range. That kind of buyer satisfaction at 171 reviews carries more weight than a 4.6 from a handful of early adopters. For the money, the E-325 looks like a strong value buy if the 360-square-inch cooking area fits your needs.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cooking area of the E-325?
The primary cooking surface is 360 square inches. That is enough room for about 16 to 20 standard burgers at one time, or four to six full chicken breasts side by side. No secondary warming rack area is listed in the product specs.
Is the E-325 large enough for a family of four?
For a family of four, 360 square inches is generally enough cooking room. You can fit a full round of burgers or bone-in chicken pieces for four people in one session. If you regularly cook for five or more, you may want to consider a grill with 450 square inches or more.
What fuel does the E-325 use?
The E-325 runs on propane. There is no natural gas configuration listed in the specs. You will need a standard propane tank to operate it, and you should follow the manufacturer's guidance for connecting and storing the tank safely.
